Easy Calculation of Cement Mortar



 quiz answer:

              muster roll - it means attendance maintained in site work construction.

preparation for cement mortar (CM):

example: CM 1:3

   1) cement = 3/(1+3) x 1 = 0.75
                    = 0.75 x (1440/50)
                    = 21.6 (taken as) = 22bags
           22 Bags of cement needed for this cement mortor.

   2) sand = 3/(1+3) x 3 = 2.25 meter cube
              This cement mortar 1:3 is prepared by 22 bags of cement and 2.25 meter cube of sand.
notes:
  •     3 is the cement mortar density
  •     (1+3) is taken as CM 1:3 
  •     multiply by 1 is for cement
  •     multiply by 3 is for sand
  •     1440 is one meter cube weight of cement.
  •     50 is one bag weight of cement
IS code :
