This is a good *plaster quantity calculation* example for Civil Site Engineering 💪

Here's the breakdown from your notes for a *10m x 10m wall, 12mm thick plaster, 1:4 mix*:

# # # *Summary of Calculation*
*1. Area of Plaster*
= $10 \times 10 = 100 \, m^2$

*2. Thickness* = 12mm = 0.012m

*3. Wet Volume of Plaster*
= $100 \times 0.012 = 1.2 \, m^3$

*4. Add 20% for voids/filling*
= $1.2 \times 1.2 = 1.44 \, m^3$

*5. Convert to Dry Volume* x1.35
= $1.44 \times 1.35 = 1.944 \, m^3$

*6. Mix Ratio 1:4* → Total parts = 5

*7. Cement Required*
= $\frac{1}{5} \times 1.944 = 0.388 \, m^3$
= $0.388 \times 1440 \, kg/m^3 = 558.72 \, kg$
= $558.72 \div 50 = 11.17$ bags ≈ *12 bags of 50kg cement*

*8. Sand Required*
= $\frac{4}{5} \times 1.944 = 1.555 \, m^3$
= $1.555 \times 35.3147 = 54.91 \, CFT$

# # # *Final Answer for 100 sqm @ 12mm thick, 1:4*
- *Cement: 12 bags*
- *Sand: 54.91 CFT* or *1.555 m³*

# # # *Key points to remember:*
1. *x1.2* = for voids/wastage
2. *x1.35* = converts wet volume to dry volume
3. *1440 kg/m³* = density of cement
4. *35.3147* = conversion from m³ to CFT
