How much cement do you need?

Cement is used as a binding component for concrete and the mortar. The amount of cement required is dependent on the type of construction one is making. Cement requirements will be different for a plaster or a cement concrete or a stone structure.

We may also find different types and grades of cement, made for specific purposes but in general it is the Portland cement that is used. The cement is mixed with reinforcements like sand, fibres etc. in the required ratio and then used as a binding material in construction. And hence, making the right mixture is the most important step. Once done, it becomes a paste which is then applied on walls, roofs etc. Making the right mixture, using the right ratio of cement and other materials would, in the end, define the strength of your structure
