Mix Quantities — M10 (1:3:6) Blinding/PCC
Cement bags, sand and aggregate for M10 (1:3:6) Blinding/PCC from wet volume with yield factor.
M10 PCC under footings keeps rebar off the mud and gives chairs something honest to stand on. At 1:3:6, cement is still the minor ingredient — note in the output how aggregate dominates the truck movements, which is what actually sets the delivery schedule.
Formula
Note: Planning estimate only — strength for structural decisions (formwork striking, post-tensioning, loading) must be verified by site-cured specimens or a calibrated maturity system per the project specification.

About Mix Quantities — M10 (1:3:6) Blinding/PCC
Mix Quantities — M10 (1:3:6) Blinding/PCC computes the governing relationship dry vol = wet × factor; split 1:3:6; cement at 1,440 kg/m³; water = w/c × cement live as you type. M10 PCC under footings keeps rebar off the mud and gives chairs something honest to stand on. At 1:3:6, cement is still the minor ingredient — note in the output how aggregate dominates the truck movements, which is what actually sets the delivery schedule. Defaults are pre-filled with realistic values for this exact scenario, and the worked example substitutes your numbers step by step so the math is never a black box.
How to use Mix Quantities — M10 (1:3:6) Blinding/PCC
- 1Enter your values — Wet (finished) volume, Dry volume factor, Water-cement ratio, Wastage (sensible defaults are pre-filled).

Frequently asked questions
What formula does the mix quantities — m10 (1:3:6) blinding/pcc use?+
It evaluates dry vol = wet × factor; split 1:3:6; cement at 1,440 kg/m³; water = w/c × cement, exactly as published. Sources: IS 456:2000 — Plain and reinforced concrete code of practice; IS 10262 — Concrete mix proportioning guidelines. The substituted worked example on the page lets you verify every step against the textbook.
How should I read the result — and how far can I trust it?+
M10 PCC under footings keeps rebar off the mud and gives chairs something honest to stand on. Planning estimate only — strength for structural decisions (formwork striking, post-tensioning, loading) must be verified by site-cured specimens or a calibrated maturity system per the project specification.
When is this calculator the right tool for the job?+
Cement bags, sand and aggregate for M10 (1:3:6) Blinding/PCC from wet volume with yield factor. A free concrete curing, maturity & strength tool. At 1:3:6, cement is still the minor ingredient — note in the output how aggregate dominates the truck movements, which is what actually sets the delivery schedule. For neighbouring scenarios, the related tools below cover the same engine with different presets.
Does it support both metric and imperial units?+
Yes — the SI ⇄ Imperial toggle converts the values already in the fields, preserving the physical quantity, so you can flip mid-calculation without re-entering anything.
