How to calculate the quantities of materials in 1m3 of concrete

Concrete is a mixture of cement, fine aggregates (sand), coarse aggregates (granite), and water. It is pertinent to calculate the quantities of each of the materials to produce concrete.
This tutorial video provides a step-by-step guide to calculating material quantities for 1m³ of concrete using a mix ratio of 1:2:4 and a water/cement ratio of 0.4. The process involves determining volumetric measures, converting them to weight measures, finding the volume of concrete the mix produces, and then calculating the quantity of materials needed in 1m³ based on the calculations.
Summary:
1. Determine the volumetric measures of cement, sand, and aggregate using the mix ratio.
2. Convert the volumetric measures to weight measures by multiplying them by their respective densities.
3. Find the total volume of concrete the mix produces by adding up the weight of all materials.
4. Calculate the quantity of materials required for 1m³ of concrete.
