What is Concrete density?

Question

Accepted Answer

Concrete density refers to the mass per unit volume of concrete.

Concrete density is typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
It is an important property of concrete as it affects its strength, durability, and other mechanical properties.
The density of concrete can vary depending on the mix design, aggregates used, and the amount of air entrainment.
Normal weight concrete has a density ranging from 2200 to 2500 kg/m³.
Lightweight concrete, which incorporates lightweight aggregates, can have a density as low as 500 kg/m³.
High-density concrete, which includes heavy aggregates like steel or iron, can have a density exceeding 4000 kg/m³.
The density of concrete can be determined through laboratory tests or estimated using mix design proportions.
