What is the ratiop of cement water and sand?
There are multiple mixes of concretes for different uses. A common standard mix is 3:2:1 mix 3 parts aggregate, 2 parts sand, 1 part portland cement, mixed with about 1 part water (don't make the slurry too wet), just enough to wet the material and cause it to adhere in a mass plus a little bit. A mix I like is a 3:1-1/2:1 mix. It's a little bit tougher mix. for mortar again a 3:2:1 mix of sand, cement, lime with just enough water to make it workable. For grouts I'll use a little less sand or a fine beach sand, if it's not sticky enough I'll increase the cement.
Why is sand used for construction of buildings?
As sand is a course granular substances binding agents such as cement and lime can grip to the sand and form stronger bonds - if the mix was all powdery like a cement it would be more line a slurry or even a doh like consistency which would not hold very well under pressure and in weathering. When buildings were first created using mud (wattle and daub) course materials were put in the mix like animal hair and even manure to brake up the slurry like consistency and add strength to the mixure
