Aggregates & Binder required for BM 5 cm thick
Stone Agg 20mm = 25%
Stone Agg 10mm = 35%
Stone Agg 6mm = 30%
Stone Dust = 10%
2. Binder Content = 3.45%
3. Results Obtained
= 1.43gm/cc
= 2.23 gms/cc
= 0.076935 gm/cc
= 2.1531 gm/cc
= 2.15/1.3
= 1.503 Units
= 10x0.05x1.503 0.7515 Cum
Say 0.75 cum/10 sqm
Bitumen required
Area = 10 Sqm
Volume of mix = 10x0.050 = 0.50 Cum
Total Wt of mix = 0.50x2.23
= 1.115 MT
5. Weight of Bitumen = @ 3.45% of total mix
38.4 Kg Per 10 sqm
Stone chips 19mm 0.75 cum/10 Sqm
Bitumen 38.40 Kg/10 Sqm
Therefore combined aggregates
required for 10 Sqm area of 5cm thick
