M300 concrete weight: determining factors, scope,

В этой статье мы рассмотрим, сколько весит куб бетона M300. Такая информация окажется очень полезной при планировке фундамента, расчёте прочности будущей конструкции и транспортировке самого раствора. Но давайте обо всём по порядку.

General provisions

Concrete of the three hundredth brand has a very wide distribution in construction:

Application area

• Pouring the concrete foundation of any structure. The material in question is equally well suited for creating a strip, monolithic and even pile foundation.

• Construction of load-bearing walls and partitions. We are talking about both residential and business buildings.

Tip: concrete walls are recommended to be further insulated, since they have a low thermal conductivity.

• Creation of a draft floor, ladders, garden paths and other designs needing the increased durability.

Reasons for the demand

What properties make this solution so popular?

• High strength concrete, which can withstand considerable pressure and strong mechanical stress. Concrete of high marks are used even in the construction of military bunkers.
• The moisture resistance interfering the destructive processes resulting from penetration and influence of water.
• Acceptable price. All ingredients are easily available and are not expensive.
• The ability to create their own hands at home, which saves the family budget for ordering the finished solution.

Tip: in the implementation of the kneading at home it is recommended to use a concrete mixer. It will help to achieve a solution of the desired uniformity and simplify the process.

• Long operational period, measured in decades.

Weight search

Из области применения и сильных сторон данного материала следует то, что он должен состоять из ингредиентов, обладающих высокими прочностными характеристиками. Давайте тогда рассмотрим более подробно компоненты, формирующие вес куба бетона M300.

Composition

The proportions of the components are strongly influenced by the brand of cement used, which must not be lower than four hundred.

Thus, the instruction offers the following options:

• M400: цемент/песок/щебень/вода – 1/1,9/3,7/0,5;
• M500: цемент/песок/щебень/вода – 1/2,2/3,7/0,5.

Tip: in the case of using wet sand it is recommended to reduce the amount of water added. Otherwise the solution may turn out to be too liquid.

Now we will sort the table with numerical values:

Approximate weight

Даже с учётом выше приведённых данных трудно точно определить, сколько весит 1 куб бетона M300.

It is necessary to remember a variety of factors that have a significant impact on the ratio of weight to volume:

• The fine aggregate is intended to eliminate pores that are formed between the coarse aggregate fractions, but one hundred percent success is not possible.

• The coarse filler itself may have different porosities depending on the quality and origin. Especially if, in an effort to lower the coefficient of thermal conductivity, it is used instead of rubble and gravel, for example, expanded clay.

• Evaporation of water. So for frozen and fully formed concrete, its weight can be practically ignored. But even when dealing with a solution, one should remember about the constant decrease in the amount of moisture in it, which also affects the total mass.

Approximately it is already possible to make theoretical assumptions about the weight of 2200-2400 kg. Add a little practice. Some companies carried out experimental weighings not only of the three hundredth grade under consideration, but also other popular concretes, and this is what data they received:

Вес 1 м3 бетона M300 равный 2389 кг укладывается и в наши примерные расчёты, исходящие из используемых в замешивании раствора ингредиентов.

Additional impact

If you are laying a strip foundation under a reinforced concrete wall and you want to take into account its weight as accurately as possible, then you should include in the calculations all the reinforcement used to strengthen the structural strength. Although the water will evaporate, but the metal will more than compensate for its weight, and will also exert significant pressure on the base.

Conclusion

Имея представление о весе используемого бетона, в нашем случае это раствор марки M300, вы сможете более качественно спроектировать инженерные работы и усилить фундамент в достаточной степени. Основное, что понадобится вам для проведения расчётов – это точные пропорции используемых ингредиентов и их массы. Также желательно учитывать все дополнительные факторы, оказывающие влияние на пористость материала.
