There are two different types of concrete; normal and lightweight. Normal concrete has a weight of 4,000 pounds per cubic yard, while lightweight concrete weighs 1,000 pounds per cubic yard less.

∙ 12y agoConcrete weighs about 150 pounds per cubic foot. This is a design figure, and it is subject to some variation. That translates to just over 2400 kilograms per cubic metre (2400kg/m3) or 24 kilonewtons per cubic metre (24 kN/m3).
1 kg = 10N

What is mean by pcc in civil engineering?
PCC in construction refers to Plain Cement Concrete, which is used as a preparatory base for laying RCC footing. Though PCC is also concrete, this is lean in nature, the ratio being 1:4:8. The compressive strength achieved with this mix is normally 7.5kN/sq.mm.
What are the components of concrete?
cement fine aggregates and course aggregates and water for the hydration of cement are the main component of plain cement concrete. and for RCC M-S bars are used with these component.
What is dry lean concrete?
A plain concrete with a large ratio aggregate to cement than structural concrete. It is used for filling and not structural duties
What is the Difference between IPS and Plain Concrete Cement Flooring?
how is conventional brick bat coba work done
What is cement concrete?
Concrete actually contains cement as well as sand and gravel. We say "cement concrete" because cement is an ingredient in concrete. And because the cement is what binds together the sand and gravel that make up the concrete.
What are the ingredients of plain cement concrete?
Aggregate, Ordinary Portland Cement, sand, water
What is PCC and RCC?
RCC is Reinforced Cement Concrete. PCC is Plain Cement Concrete. The main difference is that PCC has no reinforcement in it.

What is suitable for reinforced cement concrete slab ordinary portland cement or Portland Pozzolana Cement?
Ordinary Portland cement is suitable. As per IRC 21, Portland Pozzolana Cement is limited for Plain Concrete only.
What are the components of concrete?
cement fine aggregates and course aggregates and water for the hydration of cement are the main component of plain cement concrete. and for RCC M-S bars are used with these component.
How much sand and aggregate required 1 cubic meter of plain concrete cement?
For plain cement concrete, the aggregate used is of size 20 mm. For RCC structures, it is 40mm and for roads, it is 80mm
What is dry lean concrete?
A plain concrete with a large ratio aggregate to cement than structural concrete. It is used for filling and not structural duties
What is ratio of plain cement concrete 1 is-to 2 is-to 4 in plum concrete for road works?
1:2:4
Does a 60 pound bag of cement weigh 60 pounds when dried concrete?
No, a 60 pound bag of cement does not weigh the same when it is turned into dried concrete. Once mixed with water and set, the weight of the dried concrete will be slightly more than the original weight of the bag of cement due to the water and other additives in the mixture.
How many sand water and cement goes in the concrete mix?
sand=2*Weight of Cement water=cement/2
Difference between rcc and pcc?
PCC is plain cement concrete. It consists of cement, sand, aggregates and water. It is good at resisting compression. RCC is reinforced cement concrete. It consists of cement, steel, aggregate and water. It is good at resisting tensile stresses also.
Method of laying cement concrete road?
6'' thick sand filling, then 9'' thick plain cement concrete 1:4:8 [ ratio] then top layer of Plain cement concrete 1:1.5:3 mixed with concrete mixer. proper vibrator should be used. expansion joint should be after 2.5mts to 3mts alternatively of 12 mm wide and filled with the mixer of hot bitumen sand mixed. by: m.s.chaudhary [civil engineer]
