EXAMPLE 2.7.3. ESTIMATING A CONCRETE WALL

A concrete wall, 3 inches thick with general dimensions of 3.00m high by 7.00m long is to be erected. Specify class B mixture using 40kg- cement bags.

Take the total area of the wall:

From the table, determine 3 inches of class B coefficients.

  • Cement   = 0.563
  • Sand       = 0.0375
  • Gravel    = 0.075
