Questions Fréquentes sur le Dosage Béton
What cement type should be used for fondation mural?
We recommend using Ciment CPJ 35 dosed at 350 kg/m³, conforming to Norme NF DTU 13.1 & DTU 21 (Fondations superficielles). This provides optimal compressive strength and long-term durability.
How many 35kg or 50kg bags are needed for 1 m³ of concrete?
For a standard 350 kg/m³ mix: exactly 10 bags of 35 kg or 7 bags of 50 kg per cubic meter of finished concrete (plus ~5% safety margin for wastage).
Concrete Footing & Wall Foundation Mix Calculator
Standardized compressive strength classes, Eurocode 2 and building code compliance
Our concrete mix calculator integrates technical specifications from global cement manufacturers including LafargeHolcim, Heidelberg Materials (Ciments du Maroc), and Vicat. It supports European EN 197-1 cement classifications (CEM I 42.5 R, CEM II/B-LL 32.5 R), Moroccan NM 10.1.004 standards (CPJ 35, CPJ 45), and US ASTM Type I/II Portland cements. Formulations align with Eurocode 2 structural guidelines and execution standards for reinforced footings, ground-bearing floor slabs, grade beams, and columns.
Strength classes (C20/25, C25/30), volume ratio rule and bagged packaging conversions
Direct computation across standard concrete grades: C12/15 for blinding concrete (150-200 kg/m³), C20/25 for patios and walkways, and C25/30 (approx. 3500-4000 PSI) for load-bearing slabs and structural columns. It calculates the benchmark 350 kg/m³ mix ratio (7 bags of 50 kg or 10 bags of 35 kg per cubic meter) alongside the practical volumetric 1-2-3 rule (1 part cement, 2 parts sharp sand, 3 parts coarse aggregate, 0.5 part water), with instant wheelbarrow batching approximations (~14 to 16 full 60L wheelbarrows per m³).
