Calculation of materials for 1cum of 1:6 Cement Mortar by
Volumetric method:
Specific Gravity of Cement = 3.15 ; Density of Cement =
1440kg/cum
Specific Gravity of Sand = 2.6 ; Density of Cement =
1550kg/cum @ 5% moisture
First of all we have to calculate yield of 1 cement bag
(50kg) mixed in 1:6
Volume of Cement = (50/1440) = 0.03472cum
Volume of Sand mixed = 6 X 0.03472 = 0.208cum (contains 5%
moisture)
Volume of only sand = 95% of 0.208 = 0.198 cum
Absolute volume of Cement = 50kg / (3.15X1000) = 0.016 cum
Absolute volume of sand = Weight of sand / (2.6 X 1000) =
(0.198 X 1550) / (2.6 X 1000) = 0.118 cum
Let volume of water added = 30litres = 0.03 cum
Moisture present in the sand = (0.208 - 0.198) = 0.01 cum
Total volume of water = 0.03 + 0.01 = 0.04 cum
Let, Moisture content in the mortar = 2% of yield
Let, yield = Y
(1-2%)Y = Absolute volumes of (Cement + Sand + Water) =
0.016 + 0.118 + 0.04 = 0.174 cum
Total Yield Y = 0.174 / 0.98 = 0.178 cum
1bag of 50kg Cement produces = 0.178 cum of 1:6 Cement
Mortar with 0.208cum of Sand @ 5% Moisture and 30 litres of
water.
Therefore, 1 cum of 1:6 Cement Mortar requires :
Cement = 1bag X 1/ 0.178 = 5.62 bags
Sand = 0.208 X 1 / 0.178 = 1.17 cum
Water = 30 X 1 / 0.178 = 168 .5 litres

I used Etabs software to analyse a high-rise building. And I want to use templated UBC-codes inside to calculate the Seismic load. My question is: whether or not I have to control the seismic load by base shear load which is manual calculation? (just for more clarification: I can control this by input the scale factor into Eartquake definition in Etabs) I would highly appreciate your answer.
