whether vat is applicable for sand & bricks
in asphalt and cement concrete. We can use sand ,cement and water as a mixture of mortar.
Concrete actually contains cement as well as sand and gravel. We say "cement concrete" because cement is an ingredient in concrete. And because the cement is what binds together the sand and gravel that make up the concrete.
The ratio of sand and cement affects the tensile strength of the concrete. Hence, a ratio of 1:2 (cement to sand) will yield a greater tensile strength than a 1:3 ratio. However, both are acceptable in the formation of concrete.
Seven parts washed grit sand to one part cement. The grit gives it it's strength. If you use building/plastering sand it will crack.
one part cement to four parts of sharp sand
No useful answer can be given without the necessary detail.The question needs to describe whether the cement alone will be used (or whether it will be used with sand, or with sand and aggregate, and what mix ratios), and the depth of the application.
sand=2*Weight of Cement water=cement/2
8 kilos sand to the 2 kilos cement.
1 cement 2 sand 3 gravel
The sand and stone adds a binding quality to the cement making the concrete or plaster stronger than pure cement.
steel,cement, sand
7 Parts sand to 1 Part portland cement
Mortar has sand in it. Concrete has cement, sand and stone.
If you mix cement ,sand and water you get mortar If you mix cement and stone pebbles or chips you get concrete Concrete.Sometimes gravel is mixed with it, too.
The type of sand is also important. The right ratio for a mixture of cement and sand is 1:5 to 1:6
These terms are not applicable for sand.
