      The ratio of cement and sand for construction varies depending on the purpose of the mix. Generally, a mix ratio of 1 part cement to 3 parts sand is used for bricklaying and stone masonry, and a 1:4 ratio is used for plastering. Other ratios may be used for specific applications.

      The material ratio for construction depends on the type of work being done. For plastering, common ratios are 1:4 or 1:6 (cement to sand), while brickwork typically uses 1:5 or 1:6. For concrete, the mix might include aggregates, with standard ratios like 1:2:4 (cement:sand:aggregate). Always ensureRead more

      The cement-to-sand ratio varies according to the type of construction. For plastering, it’s typically 1:4 or 1:6 (cement to sand). A common mix for concrete work is 1:2:4 (cement, sand, aggregate). Strength and durability are ensured by ratios.
