Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFPlastering thickness 12 mmc= 12/1000 = 0.012m
Volume of cement mortar required = (Plastering Area x thickness) = 100 m2 x 0.012m = 1.2 m3
(This is wet volume that means we need this much volume of cement mortar after mixing water, So for dry volume, we have to add 30-35% as bulkage of sand, we are using 35% and wastage as 20%)
Consider 35% Sand Bulkage = 1.2 m3 x (1 + 0.2 + 0.35) = 1.86 m3
Cement required = (1/7) x 1.86 = 0.265 m3Last updated on Jun 4, 2025
