What is the specific weight of concrete?

 

[danish.bgk]

2400 kg/cubic metre

 

[Chandrakant Dodakatti]

2400-2600 kg/m3

 

[Vinod]

1600-2600Kg/m3

 

[Topnotch]

24kN/m3

 

[Megha syam kumar.k]

24KN/cum for PCC and 25KN/cum for RCC

Actual weight of concrete tends to vary depending on the raw materials density and generally ranges between 1%-3%.

As concrete is not a chemical composition but a man made product the weight will never be constant but will vary.

So for PCC the weight generally considered is about 2400 kg/Cu.mt and for RCC is about 2500 kg/cu.mt.

What is the specific weight of concrete?

2400

 

[Dnyan Deshmukh]

Specific weight of normal concrete under normal conditions can vary from 2400 to 2700 Kg per cum.

weight of the concrete mostly dependent on the specific gravity of aggregates used for producing concrete.

normal aggregates specific gravity ranges from 2.6 to 3.0

Then what is the density of steel
If concrete with r/f is 2500

 

[Philip Okore Ahonobadha]

What is the specific weight of concrete?

A normal weight concrete weighs 2400 kg per cubic meter or 145 lbs per cubic foot (3915 lbs per cubic yard).
The unit weight of concrete (density) varies depending on the amount and density of the aggregate, the amount of entrained air (and entrapped air), and the water and cement content.
