📌 Common Construction Material Densities (kg/m³)
Knowing the density of construction materials is essential for every civil engineer.
It plays a major role in structural design, dead load calculations, quantity estimation, mix design, transportation planning, and selecting suitable materials for different construction applications.
🌟Typical Densities:
• PCC – 2400 kg/m³
• RCC – 2500 kg/m³
• Cement – 1440 kg/m³
• Water – 1000 kg/m³
• Cement Mortar – 2000 kg/m³
• Reinforced Steel – 7850 kg/m³
• Red Brick – 1700 kg/m³
• Fly Ash Brick – 1800 kg/m³
• AAC Block – 650 kg/m³ (the image appears to show 6500 kg/m³, which is likely a typo)
• Cement Concrete Block – 1800 kg/m³
• Crushed Sand – ~2850 kg/m³
• River Sand – 1840 kg/m³
• 10 mm Aggregate – 1650 kg/m³
• 20 mm Aggregate – 1550 kg/m³
• POP – 700 kg/m³
