: I would like to know how to determine how much sand and gravel it takes to make a yard of concrete.
:David
The combined total of sand and gravel equals the
amount of concrete the portland adds so little volume. Or if you want to make it complicated I will give you a list of weights. Reading from left to right aggregate size, cement,gravel,water,
these are in pounds.
3/8 565 1630 1190 285
3/4 520 1310 1730 260
1 490 1260 1870 245
One sack of cement equals 94 pound and Water weighs 8 pounds to the gallon.
