Muyi002: No1: 2 pillars of 225 by 255 = 3 bags of cement No2: Lintel of what size and length? but cement needed is about 1/4 bag No3: 100 blocks = 2 bags BUT the more the blocks, the less the cement. i.e. 200 bags = 3.5 bags NOT 4 bags etc... all are approximate and without waste.

saydfact: It's safer to make 28 blocks out of a mix then the molders will do the ratio for you. |

saydfact: Hello my friend, Good morning. I have found this your old topic very educating BUT I STILL NEED A LITTLE GUIDANCE. Please I need your contribution on the exact mix for a 16ftX13ft one bedroom self contain structure decking (am sorry am not good with numbers and sqm). We intend to put two tanks untop of the structure when completed, so I want a solid mixture because its manual mixing since its a small project. Do you still use your 1: 3: 3 mix? If yes? How many bags exactly will cover this decking at a thickness of 6". I await your Swift response. 1 Like |

Concrete is good because they make the structure stronger. The only downside now is that they are expensive. But there are other cheaper concrete alternatives. 1 Like |

https://www.duzzlag.com/lightweight-concrete-mix-design/ Concrete is a durable material that can be used for a variety of applications, such as building roads and bridges. Unfortunately, because concrete is so heavy and bulky, it’s difficult to transport and use in large quantities. A new type of lightweight concrete mix has been developed that could make construction more efficient. |
