The concrete calculator calculates the required amounts of ingredients when you provide the data for the area to be concreted.
The Concrete Calculator: The Tool for Accurate Concrete Volume Calculation
Welcome to Beton Booster, where you can simplify determining the materials needed for your concreting project with our “Concrete Calculator.” This tool will assist you with everything from calculating concrete volume to determining the amounts of gravel and cement. It’s not only simple and intuitive but also provides personalized results for your projects.
Concrete Volume Calculation: How Does It Work?
Using the calculator is extremely simple. First, select the area you need to concrete:
- You can choose from a dropdown how to enter your data: for calculating concrete for a square area, other regular shapes, or an entirely irregular shape. In the first case, enter the length and width in meters and the thickness in centimeters. In the second case, provide the area in square meters and thickness in centimeters. For the third, input the volume in cubic meters. By entering the data, you’ll get the required concrete volume calculation.
- In the next step, select the concrete strength class. You can find help here: https://betonbooster.hu/blog/beton-keveresi-aranyok-soder-cement-viz/
- Next, just click the “Get Result” button on the concrete calculator, and you’ll receive the expected data immediately.
- First, the calculator calculates how many cubic meters of concrete you will need. This is not equal to the volume of the area to be concreted because it takes into account the compaction of the concrete.
- Below, you will see the required amount of gravel in kilograms and cubic meters.
- Next is the quantity of cement.
- The amount of water required to prepare the concrete.
Below this, you will see that
- How many wheelbarrows of concrete you need to prepare,
- how many buckets will fit the amount of concrete,
- how many times you need to use the concrete mixer if using a single-wheelbarrow,
- and how many times if using a double-wheelbarrow mixer.
In the next module, the concrete calculator will show you how much 25 kg bags or how many 40 kg bags of concrete you need to purchase if you choose to use bagged concrete for the task.
Gravel Cubic Meter Calculation and Mixing Ratio Calculator
The calculator not only applies to concrete but is also capable of calculating the necessary gravel. By determining the mixing ratios of gravel and cement, it ensures that your mix is as durable and stable as possible. Simply input the required data, and the system will provide the precise mixing ratios. This is how the gravel cubic meter calculation works.
Gravel Cement Calculator: Accurate Mixing for Quality Concrete
The quality of concrete greatly depends on the correct ratio of gravel and cement. With the “Gravel Cement Calculator,” you can easily determine the perfect mixing ratios. This ensures that your concrete meets structural and quality requirements.
1 cubic meter concrete material requirement calculator
With the calculator, you can easily calculate the material requirements for 1 cubic meter of concrete. As described above, specify the desired strength of concrete, and on the results page, you will see how much gravel is needed, along with the amount of cement and water required for 1 cubic meter of gravel. Furthermore, the calculator will show how many wheelbarrows, how many batches with a smaller or larger mixer, and how many bags of ready-mixed screed or dry concrete you would need if purchasing pre-mixed.
Screed Concrete Calculator
On the results page, we also show you how many bags of screed concrete you’ll need for the job, making it function perfectly as a screed concrete calculator. You’ll require the same quantity of screed concrete as you would traditional concrete. In this case, you should also account for approximately 10% compaction. Screed concrete typically falls under the C16/20 strength class, mixed to a slightly plastic consistency with a superplasticizer, not overly watered down, using 0-5 mm grain-size sandy gravel.
Don’t forget to mix ArmoTec fiber into the concrete, which can replace steel mesh reinforcement, allowing for easier, faster, and more cost-effective concreting.
ArmoTec not only provides these advantages, but
- It reinforces the concrete in three dimensions at every point, whereas mesh reinforcement is only in one plane.
- It reduces shrinkage cracks to zero. This means that during the concrete curing process, no small or large cracks can form, resulting in a much more durable concrete in the end.
- It significantly speeds up the construction process by eliminating the work processes associated with steel mesh reinforcement.
- It enhances safety at work by eliminating accidents associated with the use of steel reinforcement.
- It is easy to transport. We can replace 500 kg of steel reinforcement mesh with 25-50 kg of Eco Fiber, which can be delivered to a doorstep by a postal worker instead of a truck.
- It’s easy to work with. You just need to add it directly to the concrete mixer—no transportation, no handling, no steel assembly, no hassle.
- It does not corrode. One of the biggest disadvantages of reinforced concrete is that over time, the enclosed steel begins to corrode due to acids. Oxygen and moisture reach the steel through small microcracks in the concrete, leading to its degradation. The structural macro fibers completely eliminate this issue.
- Fibrous reinforced concrete is easy to drill with no risk of drill bit breakage.
- It is much cheaper than steel mesh reinforcement.
- It leaves a much smaller ecological footprint. Its production and transportation result in a fraction of the environmental impact compared to steel mesh. Additionally, by replacing steel with this material, you can reduce the amount of corrosion protection required, further contributing significantly to environmental conservation. If environmental sustainability is important to you, this is your material of choice.
