Answer / upendra

Proportion for M20 grade concrete is 1:1.5:3 , water to be
added is as per water cement ratio 0.54 i.e
0.54 X 50kg of cement wt = 27lit.

Answer / suraj

water required in concrete is 28%of cement and 5% of total aggregate.

Answer / pinku gautam

A water/cement ratio of only 0.38 is required for complete
hydration of cement. (Although this is the theoretical limit, water cement ratio lower than
0.38 will also increase the strength, since all the cement that is added, does not hydrate)
Water added for workability over and above this water/cement ratio of 0.38, evaporates
leaving cavities in the concrete. These cavities are in the form of thin capillaries. They
reduce the strength and durability of concrete. Hence, it is very important to control the
water/cement ratio on site. Every extra lit of water will approx. reduce the strength of
concrete by 2 to 3 N/mm2 and increase the workability by 25 mm

1) a)to prepare mortar for bricklaying how much amount of water should be added for its maximum strength and workability(to avoid cracks which results, when high quantity of water is added)?is their a formula or ratio? b) suppose we want to make 1:3 mortar,what is the best way to measure cement ,sand and water and how? c)time before which freshly prepared mortar should be used? d)proper way to mix and make mortar? e)when should curing start after laying bricks and for how long?and also how many hours per day? f)what is shear wall (please in terms of layman lol) bookish definisions are confusing.... g) and last,acc to codes what are max no. of course that should be laid in a day.
