What is 1.54 in Concrete and 1.33 in Mortar
Concrete
Cement, Sand & Aggregate
Void ( 54% )
Volume = 1m^3
Dry vol. = wet vol. + 54% of wet vol.
= 1 + 54/100 * 1
= 1 + 0.54
= 1.54 vol.
Ex. vol. = 10 m^3
sol. Dry vol. = 10 * 1.54 m^3
= 15.4 m^3
Plaster
Cement and Sand
Void ( 33% )
Vol. = 1 m^3
Dry vol. = Wet vol. + 33% of wet vol.
= 1 + 33/100 * 1
= 1 + 0.33
= 1.33 vol.
Ex. vol. = 5 m^3
Soln. Dry vol. = 5 * 1.33
= 6.65 m^3
