Concrete has dry and wet volumes when formulated in quantity calculation of cement, sand, and aggregate is known as concrete calculation.
When you obtained your degree in civil engineering, you may have wondered how to calculate 1.54 in Concrete when determining the quantity of cement, sand, and aggregate to use.
Concrete’s wet volume can be converted to its dry volume by using a factor of 1.54. By converting wet volume to dry volume, we get a 54 percent increase in dry volume. So we can calculate how many materials are dry.
Define 1.54 Concrete Calculations?
A dry concrete mix has a dry volume of 1.54, which means that after water is added, it has about 54 percent less volume.
Dry Volume = 54 percent of wet volume + wet volume
Dry Volume = (54/100 * 1) + 1
Dry Volume = 154/100 + 1
Dry Volume = 0.54 + 1
Dry Volume = 1.54
To make 1 cubic meter of wet mix concrete, we need 1.54 cubic meters of dry mix.
Total Volume of concrete = Dry Volume of concrete * Wet Volume of concrete
Mathematical Solution of 1.54 Concrete Calculation
In order to understand, let’s take a concrete cube with dimensions as length, width, and height.
Concrete Cube Length = 10 meter.
Concrete Cube Width = 6 meter.
Concrete Cube Height = 8 Meter.
Wet Volume = length * Breadth * Height
Wet Volume = 10 * 6 * 8
Wet Volume = 480 meter cube.
Dry Volume = 54 percent of wet volume + wet volume
Dry Volume = 54/100 * 480 + 480
Dry Volume = 259.2 + 480
Dry Volume = 739.2 meter cube.
