The density of sea sand 2014-11-02
From Lenny:
Hi There,

I need to find out the the density of sea sand to convert one metric ton to cubic meter as I am submitting for a tender which is in cubic meter but the requirement is in metric ton. I searched through the web site but no density of sea sand is given though there is specific Gravity of dry sand is available. I was given a density of 1.6 to work with. If that is true am I right to say that 1 cubic meter of sea sand is equivalent to 1.6 metric ton? Please help as I am getting confused with what I am able to find out on the web.
Thanks much in advance

The weight of a concrete column 2008-05-11
From russell:
a cylindrical form is filled with a slow curing concrete. The base of the form is 10 ft in radius, and height is 25 ft. while the concrete hardens, gravity causes the density to vary from a density of 90 lbs/ft^3 at the bottom to a density of 50 lb/ft^3 at the top. Assume that the density varies linearly from the top to the bottom, and compute the total weight of the resulting concrete column
