About
Dry concrete mix is a dense blend of cement and aggregates that weighs about twice as much as water.
Dry concrete mix has a typical bulk density of about 125 pounds per cubic foot (2 grams per milliliter). Because it combines coarse sand and gravel with fine cement powder, the smaller grains fill the gaps between the larger stones. This close packing makes it significantly heavier by volume than pure cement powder or dry dirt. A standard 60-pound (27-kilogram) bag takes up less than half a cubic foot (0.014 cubic meters) of space.
From Wikipedia
Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bound together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid. It is the second-most-used substance, the most widely used building material, and the most-manufactured material in the world.
