How to Calculate Estimation of Wall Plaster.

Assume:
Wall = 1m Length, 1m height
Mortar Ratio = 1:6
Plaster Thickness = 12 mm =0.012 m
Constants:
Density of Cement = 1440 kg/m3
1 cum = 35.3147 cuft.

So:
Volume of Mortar = 1 x  1 x 0.012 = 0.012 cum. (Wet Volume)
Dry Volume of Mortar = 0.012 x 1.30 = 0.0156 cum. 
Quantity of Cement = 1/7 x 0.0156 x 1440 = 3.21 kg = 0.064 Bags
Quantity of Sand     = 6/7 x 0.0156 x 35.3147 = 0.47 cuft.


The recommended thickness of cement plastering is given below. Recommended thickness of plastering for brick walls is 12 MM, 15 MM or 20 MM. 12 MM thick cement plaster is done where the plain surface of brick masonry is plastered. 15 MM cement plaster is required on the rough side of 9” and 4.5” wall.

The loads Acting on staircase.

Distribution of  Loads  and its Effect on  Staircase Stair  slabs are usually designed to resist gravity  loads , comprising of dead  loads  and live  loads  as described below:  1) Dead  Load : The components of the dead  load  to be considered are: a) Self-weight of  stair  slab (tread/tread-riser slab/waist slab) b) Self-weight of ... LIVE LOADS:- IS 875 parts II specifies the load to be considered as UDL of intensity 5KN/m2 for public  buildings and 3kN/m2 for residential building where the specified floor do not exceed 2kN/m2 and the staircases are should not liable for overcrowding. DEAD LOADS:- Self-weight of stair slab which includes the waist slab, tread-rise,etc. Self-weight of finishes (0.5 to 1 kN/m?) Types of stairs                                                ...

Medlum Density Fibre Board (MDF)

Medium Density Fibre Board (MDF)  MDF IS made from wood and other lignocellulose material refined into fibres and reconstituted with a resin binder. Row wood material is normally a single species wood. MDF has homogeneous structure with uniform density, texture and properties throughout, no identifiable grain can be seen at edge, end or face. There are no internal voids or pits and there is no variation in the surface hardness. Unlike plywood MDF doesn't delaminate. It has much higher strength than particle board. Since edges are totally smooth and uniform, costly tipping or beading with strips of wood required for plywood and particle board is not essential. It can be carved, grooved or embossed just like any timber. The surface of MDF is totally smooth and accepts all kinds of finishes - paints, varnishes and laminates. One such type of famous board in the market is 'Duratuff" . It comes in both interior and exterior grade. Duratuff prelaminated boards are also avail...
