How many bags of readymix will 1 bag of portland?
5 or 6. An 80 lb. bag of ready mix concrete will make about 1/2 cubic foot of concrete. A 94 lb. bag of portland cement mixed with 1 1/2 cu. ft of stone (coarse gravel) and 1 cu. ft. of sand will make 3 cubic feet of concrete or 6 times as much. (this is a common 1:2:3 mix) Quikcrete ready mix is often made with 1 part cement, and 2 1/2 parts each sand and stone. A 1:1 1/2: 3 mix is a stronger mix but you get less volume, at 5 1/2 cubic feet per bag of cement.
How do I calculate the amount of cement needed?
First, things are not made of cement- they are made of concrete- which consists of cement, sand, gravel and water. Mix them using 1 part cement, 1.5 parts sand, 3 parts gravel. To calculate how much CONCRETE you need, multiply depth X width X length in inches, then divide by 1728. This will tell you the number of cubic FEET of concrete. To get the number of cubic YARDS, divide the cubic feet by 27. If you are using packaged concrete mix (Sakrete is one) then an 80 lb bag makes 0.6 cubic feet of concrete. NOTE: If you are working with concrete for the first time- do not add too much water (weakens the concrete) and do not get wet concrete on bare skin- it will cause a chemical burn. Wash it off promptly if you do.
How many bags of pre-mix cement is needed to mix 1 cubic yds?
Cement comes in bags that weigh 94 lbs. The volume of the bag is approximately 1 cubic foot. If you want to mix concrete which is a mixture of a coarse aggregate (gravel) and a fine aggregate (sand) and something to bond the two aggregates together (cement) then firstly you need to know the strength concrete that you require. For 1 cubic yard of 3000psi (pounds per square inch) strength you will need about 6 bags cement 12 cubic feet of sand and 24 cubic feet of gravel. Rule of thumb is the ratio should be 1:2:4 (cement:sand:gravel)
