tell me how to calculate by weight and by volume the
quantity of cement sand mortar of 1:2

Answer Posted / vicky

Consider the qty. of mortar = 10cum.

Qty by Volume =
Cement = 10/(1+2)=3.33 cum. = 95.23 bags (vol.of 1bag
cement=0.035cum.)

sand = 3.33 x 2 = 6.66 cum.

Qty by weight

cement = 95.23bags x 50kg =4761.50
sand = 6.66 cum. x 1600 kg/cum. = 10656 kg.
