It probably says on the bag and is a range depending on how wet you mix it.

Simulate a cement bag as a (Piet Hein) superellipsoid of volume V = abc/2; divide the result into 2.3 m3.

AP-

In the USA a standard bag of cement is 1 ft3 and weighs 92 lbs., and 1m3 = 35.31 ft3. Also 2.2 lbs = 1 kg

(92 lbs/ft3) * 35.31 ft3/m3 * 1 kg/2.2 lbs= 1476.6 kg/m3

(25 kg)*(m3/ 1,476.6 kg) = 0.017 m3 per 25 kg bag

THAT'S A LOT OF CEMENT!. I hope you are getting a truck or ready mix and not mixing it yourself!

I did the above with a slide rule and verified it with my phone. I'm old enough to know how to use it and boy did I enjoy it! Try one of those nostalgic moments sometime!

Good Luck, Old Salt

Dear All

I've calculate the volume of grouting cement per footing column I am getting 0.014m3 and we do the actual pouring of ground cement, one footing consume 1 1/2 bag of grouting cement. therefore 2.3 cu M of volume required 70 bag.

Regards

Wait... What?

70 bags total ÷ 1.5 bags/column ≈ 46 columns.
2.3M3/46 columns ≠ .014M3 /column... Not even almost
