What is the proper value(equivalent fluid density) of portland cement with regards to lateral pressure on a vertical wall that retains dry cement powder?
Also, is it correct to assume 1 sack(94 lbs) of cement(dry) is equivalent to 1 cu. ft. of volume?
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

As ad aside: The pressures on the walls of the containers storing granular materials vary considerably during filling and emptying operations. If required, you may refer to ACI 313 for design of silos for stacking granular materials.

I have seen it vary from 90 pcf to 110 pcf
