concrete weigth calculation

The question

"nina, saiz apa yang kita perlu utk concrete m25 jadi 20kg?"
(Nina, on what size needed for the m25 concrete to become 20kg?)

So here is the do-how;

let say the concrete will be in rectangular shape. 

Method 1

1) find the volume of the concrete. 
let say we assume 6" x 6" x 6" ; 
in this case assume every size that you feel near to the weight value. 

2) volume of a rectangular : width x height x thickness = Ym^3
then the density of the concrete. (refer the mix design reference)
For the gred m25, we have 2414kg/m^3.

3) Then use this formula to find the weight in kg = density x volume.

Method 2

1) From the handout, we have know the density. 
Given weight = 20 kg
Given density = 2414

so find the volume, v = 20/2414 = ??

2) since we have know the volume, now assume the size of the concrete, depend on your design.

tips : Method 1 is easier. 
tips : check next post for the mix design references.

Here I am writing this, trying not to leave this abandon,
I'm imperfect. I don't always have nice things to share.
yet I'm not a good writer myself.

So here is something been stuck in my head.

Glasses

There are four of it.

A glass of love,

its full of you,

you and everything about you.

A glass of hope,

its all you,

us and the green grass.

A glass of tears,

its all were about you,

about us,

about the wrecking ship.

And a glass of faith,

its yet to be full,

its me and life to come,

I must tell you, you aren't here.

I'm not sure about us in future,

but I'm sure I'm giving up.

Maybe when tomorrow come I won't remember any of other glass but this.

If one day

If one day, Allah swt grant me a child. I'll tell him this. :)

Like quoted by Fynn Jamal to her son, Juna.

take your time, my son.
with mummy by your side,
you don't have to worry an ounce to fit in the standard life of people.

we are ordinary, my son.
we'll get by.
as long as we have each other.

The Net Story

Once upon a time there were an island named Hope Island far from tropical paradise that have no luxuries, live three men named Achilles, Victor and Paris. Achilles is a funny, Paris a charmer and Victor a dreamer.

Hope Island in particularly have no food options other than fish. Fortunately every one of the fish which was large enough to feed a man for a day. However with the isolated from mankind's advancement, Hope Island give no choice to this three men other than to fish the slimy buggers by their own bare hands.

Using this inefficient techniques, no man ever catch more than a fish a day, their routine has become finite, wake, fish, eat, sleep but it beat the alternatives. Spend what they earn. Fair enough.

One night, the dreamer Victor looking up to the studded sky and ask his friends,
"Is this all there is? There must be more to life than THIS."
Paris replied "This is a sweet life. I have my fish, you have yours"
and Achilles " Owh come on, what are you expecting? some Hollywood's movie here?"
So Victor the dreamer think about to direct a movie and wearing more fashion-forward-palm-leaf clothing.
But hey! What possibilities that he have? He spend all day fishing to feed his shallow stomach. So Victor invented the idea to simplified fishing by innovate a fish catcher. Smiling with his thought, he fall to sleep.


The day begin, while Achilles and Paris getting ready for fishing routine, 
Victor awkwardly making string out of the palm bark. "What gives?" ask Paris "Are you on diet or something?" Achilles rolled his eyes and warn "doesn't mean I'm sane enough, I'll share my fish with you, so you better get yourselves to fish or you'll go hungry today."
Undettered, Victor continue weaving.

By the day's end, Victor had completed his net, he finally created a fish catcher but he has to dealt with his hunger pangs while image of luscious fish danced in his head. What a self sacrifice!

The next day, Victor charged himself to surf, the ridicule kept coming as he awkwardly handled his strange new devices, after a few minutes he got hang on it and in no time snagged a dozzy. In few hours, Victor landed his second fish of the day, the boys were in awe. Afterall it generally took them all day to get just one fish.

Victor now smile as he increase his productivity by self sacrifice, he now own the fish catcher and have plenty time to do something else other than fishing.

to be continued....................


before Victor rolled the dice to build his net, Hope Island had no store of saving, by doubling his productivity, he is now able to produce more than he consume, so in this case, the extra fish is a saving. The spare production is the lifeblood of a healthy economy. Hence, afraid not to do some self sacrifice. By increasing your economy, you'll finally inspire to do the same. 

There were a war between the vanity on 1st Muharram, Al-Fatihah to our brothers and sisters in Palestin. Media can overturn the facts, so take chance contemplate by yourselves. While we shower ourselves in comfort, they had bomb shower on their walls and roofs. Let us study our hard out while the orchestral music began to swell. Let our faith stand strong and beat demon with our big grey matter!
