Cement Sand Plastering Plastering is done on the walls to remove surface imperfections, maintain line level and alignment. In addition to that it also acts as a protective surface for external walls. Cement plaster, Gypsum plaster and Lime plaster are the commonly used plastering materials for house constructions. Cement plaster is made by mixing cement and sand in the proportions required. Cement plaster is applied to both interior and exterior walls to give them a smooth surface. Recommended Cement Mortar ratio for Plastering: Now lets see how to calculate the quantity of Cement and Sand for Plastering . For some better Knowledge  , We are now Calculating for 100 SqMtrs of Plastering Area with 12mm Thickness . Cement Mort ar Required : Plastering Thickness = 12 mm = 12/1000 = 0.012 M Volume of cement mortar required = (Plastering Area x                                                                                              thickness)              

How to Calculate the Quantity of Cement , Sand and Aggregate in Concrete Mix ?  Mix design is a process of determining the right quality materials and their relative proportions to prepare concrete of desired properties like workability , strength, setting time and durability. Lets see how to calculate the quantities for 1 cubic meter of concrete ? Firstly we should  know about different grades of concrete.  Based on strength , Grades of concrete is  classified .  As Per IS 456:2000 the concrete of different grades are as  following :-                                   Grade                 Mix Proportion                                         M5                       1:5:10                                                      M7.5                    1:4:8                                   M10                     1:3:6                                    M15                     1:2:4                                   M20                     1:1.5:3
