How to Calculate Quantities of Cement, Sand, Granite for Concrete Foundation from Building Plan

To begin this calculation you should know the concrete strength class you want to achieve and in turn the concrete mix you are using. The right concrete mix depends on the cement grade that you are using. The minimum concrete strength class recommended for the construction of the load-bearing building structural members is concrete strength class 20/25. In the Nigerian open market, the two cement grades/strength classes that are available and which are used for building construction are cement grade 32.5 and cement grade 42.5. To produce concrete with strength class 20/25 which is the minimum concrete strength class recommended for the construction of the load-bearing building structural members, you should use one of the following concrete mix ratios/cement grade pairs: A mix-ratio of 1:1.5:3 using Portland-limestone cement grade 32.5 to produce concrete strength Class 20/25 A mix-ratio of 1:2:4 using Portland-limestone cement grade 42.5 to produce concrete strength Class 2...
