Dear Sir,

I want to know how we convert mix design’s ratio of concrete from by weight to volume.

like e.g. if the ratio by weigh given is :
Cement: 1.0
Sand Agg.:1.2
Coarse Agg.: 2.5
Water: .45
then what will be the ratio in volume.

Also, pls describe if there is any tool available for that calculation

Rgds,

AJAY
