To know the quantity of cement, sand, and granite that you need
for a foundation, you need to know the volume of concrete.
Foundation thickness = 150 mm = 0.15 m (which is the
recommended minimum).
Foundation width = 450 mm= 0.45 m (which is the minimum
recommended for a firm soil)
Foundation length from the plan above = 39.45 m (see how to
calculate the total length of the foundation from building plan).
Volume of Concrete = length x thickness x width = 39.45 m x
0.15 m x 0.45 m = 2.6629 m³
Divide the volume of the concrete by the total parts in the mix-
ratio
Recall that from our mix ratio for 1 part cement, you need 2
parts of sand. That is, for 0.3804 m³ of cement, you need:
Remember that from our mix ratio for 1 part cement, you need 4
parts of granite. That is, for 0.3804 m³ of cement, you need:
