88.29 ft³ of concrete
- Cement 17 bags 16.63 bags incl. 5% wastage
- Sand 0.41 cubes 1.16 m³
- Metal / aggregate 0.82 cubes 2.31 m³
- Steel (rough) 210 kg At 80 kg per m³ — engineer to confirm
- Water 396 litres
How we calculated this
- Wet volume 5 × 4 × 0.125 × 1 = 2.50 m³
- Dry volume 2.50 m³ × 1.54 = 3.85 m³
- Cement 3.85 × 1/7 × 1440 kg/m³ ÷ 50 kg = 15.84 bags; +5% = 16.63 → 17 bags
- Sand 3.85 × 2/7 × (1 + 5%) ÷ 2.832 = 0.41 cubes
- Metal 3.85 × 4/7 × (1 + 5%) ÷ 2.832 = 0.82 cubes
- Water 792 kg cement × 0.5 = 396 litres
- Steel 2.50 m³ × 80 kg/m³ × (1 + 5%) = 210 kg
Estimates are for budgeting and checking quotes, not structural design. Have a qualified engineer confirm quantities and reinforcement before building.
