The cement mortar is one of the greatest binding material widely used in construction.
A bonding paste prepared by adding a certain quantity of water with cement and fine aggregates is called mortar.
The quality and strength of any structure depend on the selection of its mortar mix ratio. Selecting irrelevant mortar mix ratio also affects project cost.
we have also discussed the calculation to find out the cement mortar materials
The recommended Mortar Mix Ratio has listed below for the various types of work.
| Nature of Work | Ratio |
| Brick Masonry | 1:6 or 1:5 |
| Half Brick Masonry | 1:4 |
| Ceiling Plastering | 1:3 |
| External wall plastering | 1:5 |
| Internal wall plastering | 1:4 |
| Cement Slurry | 1:1 |
| Stone Masonry | 1:2 |
| Reinforced Brickwork | 1:3 |
| Tile Flooring | 1:2 |
| Water logged Area | 1:3 |
| Pointing Work | 1:2 |
| Laying of Fire Bricks | 1:2 |
| Cement Grouting | 1:1 |
| Slab Concrete | 1:5.5 |
| Beam or Lintel | 1:2:4 |
| Column Concrete | 1:1:2 |
| PCC | 1:4:8 or 1:3:6 |
| Water Pond Making | 1:12 |

I am very interested to learn more of your experience about construction of civil work
Because Iam acivi engineer
Best regards
