construction in 1Meter cube, using CM 1:6 and bricks of size
19*9*9 cm

Answer Posted / sag

Volume of bricks with mortar=.2*.1*.1=.002
No of bricks=1/.002=500
Volm of 500 bricks=.19*.1*.1=.7695
Volume of mortar=1-.7695=.2305
Add 15% for wastage and 30% for dry mortar
Now volume of plaster=.2305+.2305*.15+.2305*.3=.334
1:6 cement and sand 1+6=7
Volume of cement=1/7*.334=.048m3=1.36 beg
Volume of sand= .048*6=.288m3

In an aggregate blending plant, water is sprayed before blending is performed. If the fine content in aggregate is as high as 25 %, will not the fines form into lumps / balls and distribution will not be uniform ? Further, the fines will stick onto the interior of pug mill and its content will be low. The mixed material is stockpiled for weeks / months before use. Will it not be better that blending is done in dry condition, and water will be added only during compaction at site. Please forward your comments and suggestions.
