Answer / eng.mehboobullah

for calculating the volume of cement in this question it
also need thickess. we consider the thickness of the
plaster 0.5 inch = 0.04' thus the total volume will be 4cft.
this is the wet volume now multiplying it with constant
1.27 the dry volume will be 5.08
now sum of ratio is 5 according to the formula
1 x 5.08/5 = 1.01 cft one cement bag have volume
of 1.25 cft now dividing it on 1.25 we get
1.01/1.25 = 0.81 bags
in plaster the volume of cement depends on the thickness of
the plaster but normally it is adopted as 1/2" that is the
answer of both question change the thickness of the plaster
will change the value of volume of cement. thanks

For plastering ceiling, thickness will be 10 mm in CM (1:3)
To cover an area of 100 sft. plastering 50 kgs is required

And for plastering the walls in CM (1:4), quantity of
cement required to cover 100 sft. 20 mm thickness will be
85 kgs.

Answer / ahmed j

Thikness of plaster for 1st coat is roush 12mm (1.6)(1.5)(1.4)
Thikness of plaster for 2nd coat is fine 8mm (1.4)(1.3)

Area is 100sft/3.28^2=0.92
.92*.012=0.011

Sand 1cum required is 1.25cum
1.25/4=0.3125

0.01104*.3125*1440=50.19 Kgs Cement

(1.3)

Area = .92mtr sqr *.008(fine)=.0736*0.21=.0156*1440=22.48 Kgs Cement

Answer / prashanth kumar

MATERIAL REQUIRED FOR PLASTERING 100 SQUARE FEET OF CEILING WITH 12MM THICKNESS IN CM(1:3) IS 1.2 BAGS OF CEMENT AND IN CM(1:4) IS 1 BAG OF CEMENT

Answer / lawrence.m

We assume the thickness is approx. 0.5inch. So that the volume is 100sqftx0.5=50cft(1.416cum).
For 1 cum( CM1:4), 1/5x 1440= 288Kg cement required.
Therefore, 1.416cum = 407 Kg required(Approx 8 bags)

For CM 1:3, = 510 Kg (Approx. 10 bags)
