Q:

Calculate the number of cement bags required for RCC (1:2:4) for 15 m³ of work.

A) 24.6 B) 38.9
C) 56.7 D) 93.8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 93.8

Explanation: The quantity of cement required is [1/(1+2+4)] x 1.52 x 15 m³ i.e. 3.257 m³. SP weight of concrete is 1440 kg/m³ and the weight of one cement bag is 50 kg. Therefore, the number of cement bags required for RCC (1:2:4) for 15 m³ of work is 3.257 x 1440/50 = 93.8 bags.
