how many kg sand is requried for plastring in 100 sqft?

Answer Posted / ravi naik (ravinaik013@gmail.c

If the ratio is 1:3

First find the volume of mortar.
If we take thickness as 12mm = 0.012mt

For 100 Sq. Feet = 9.29 m2
Mortar volume = 9.29*0.012
= 0.1115 m3
Increase Volume of mortar by 60% ( this volume includes filling joints,depression,voids and dry volume of material)

So increased volume = 0.1115*1.6
= 0.178m3

Cement in bags = (0.178*1/4)/0.0347
= 1.28 bags

Sand in kg = (0.178*3/4)*1840
= 0.1335*1840
= 245.64 kg
(Bulk density of river sand =1840kg/m3)
