Answer / deepak

Water plays an important role in hydration of cement due to which cement gains strength, while sand acts only as a filler material to increase the volume of concrete or mortar as the case may be.

Answer / gowtham1993

For higher-strength concrete, lower water:cement ratios are used, along with a plasticizer to increase flowability. Too much water will result in segregation of the sand and aggregate 

How to calculate the amount of cement & sand required for plastering work with ratio 1:4 please give me an answer with detailed step.
