How to calculate cement and sand quantities in cement mortar
As 1:1,1:2,1:4,1:6 ?

Answer Posted / t.chandrasekar

the unit weight of cement is 1440kg/m3.
for 1 m3 of 1:1 cement mortor the reuirement of sand is 1m3
and cement will be 1part of sand that is 1 m3 thus weight
of cement required is 1x1440kg/m3=1440 kg.
for 1 m3 of 1:2 cement mortor the reuirement of sand is 1m3
and cement will be 1/2 part of sand that is 0.5 m3 thus
weight of cement required is 0.5x1440kg/m3=720 kg.
for 1 m3 of 1:4 cement mortor the reuirement of sand is 1m3
and cement will be 1/4 part of sand that is 0.25 m3 thus
weight of cement required is 0.25x1440kg/m3=360 kg.
for 1 m3 of 1:6 cement mortor the reuirement of sand is 1m3
and cement will be 1/6 of part sand that is 0.5 m3 thus
weight of cement required is 1/6x1440kg/m3=240 kg.
