Silpa Projects & Infrastructure Civil Site Engineer Interview Questions and Answers for Experienced

The quantity of cement in M25 grade concrete is 350 kg/m³.

• M25 grade concrete has a mix proportion of 1:1:2 (cement:sand:aggregate).

• The total volume of concrete is taken as 1 m³.

• Therefore, the quantity of cement required for 1 m³ of M25 grade concrete is 350 kg.

• This is calculated by multiplying the volume of concrete by the proportion of cement in the mix.

The weight of steel varies with its diameter.

• The weight of steel can be calculated using the formula: weight = volume x density

• The density of steel is approximately 7850 kg/m³

• The volume of steel can be calculated using the formula: volume = pi x (diameter/2)² x length

• For example, a 10mm diameter steel rod with a length of 1 meter would weigh approximately 0.393 kg
