How to calculate the cement, sand quantity for plastering?
(10'x10')10mm thick ratio 1:5. wht"s the formula?

Answer Posted / santosh singh

10 feet= 3.05m

area of plaster = 3.05 x 3.05 = 9.3 m2
(convert thickness of plaster into m divide by 1000)
volume of plaster = 9.3 x (10/1000) = 0.09 m3
quantity of cement = 0.09/1+5 =0.09/6 = 0.02 m3
as cement comes in bags of 50 kg therefore volume of one
bag cement = o.0347 m3 (exact)
(or it may be taken 0.034 or 0.035 m3)

no. of cement bags = 0.02/0.0347 = 0.58 bags (almost 1 bag
of cement required for plaster )

quantity of sand = 0.02 x 5 = 0.10 m3

this is exact calculation
you can add 30% extra for wastage etc.
