Calculation Method
Plastering with CM 1:5 12 mm thick - 10 m2
Area to be Plastered = 10 m2
Thickness of mortar Layer = 12 mm = 0.012 m
Volume of mortar required = 10 x 0.012 = 0.12 m3
Add 15 percent allowance for undualation of surface & wastage = 0.018 m3
so, total volume of Mortar Required = 0.138 m3 say 0.14 m3
sand required for 0.14 m3 of CM 1:5 = 0.14 m3
cement required for 0.14 m3 of CM 1:5 = 0.14/5 = 0.028 m3
wt of cement required = 0.028 x 1440 = 41 kg
