Suppose the proportion of nominal mix is 1:2:4 (one part cement, 2 part sand and 4 part aggregate) Wastage of cement is taken as 2% Output of mix is provided as 67%. For 1 cum output, the requirement of dry mix is 1/0.67 = 1.49 say 1.50 cum. After including the wastage (2%), the output will be (1.50 + 0.02) = 1.52 cum. Volume of cement = (cement/cement+sand+aggregate) × Total material = (1/1+2+4) × 1.52 =0.2171 cum The density of cement is 1440 kg/cum and Weight of 1 bag cement = 50 kg.
