1:5 (cement:sand) is the best ratio
i am paving drive way with Boston city paves i want Portland cement type 11 mixed with sand and additive. thank you
Ordinary Portland Cement, also known as OPC, is a type I cement that does not only harden, but also becomes water-resistant once it cures. Pozzolanic Portland Cement, or PPC, is a type IV cement that includes a mixture of a pozzuolanic material, which can increase the strength of the concrete and reduce the amount of OPC used.
The type of sand is also important. The right ratio for a mixture of cement and sand is 1:5 to 1:6
type 1
Type 1 Portland Cement weighs 196.56 lbs
The content of C3S in cement depends on type of cement.If it is Ordinary Portland Cement, then the C3S content is 95%; andif it is Pozzolona Portland Cement, c3s is 65% - 70%
Cement is classified into different types based on their chemical composition and properties. Common classifications include Portland cement, which is the most widely used type, as well as blended cements, such as fly ash or slag cements, and specialty cements like white cement. Each type of cement has specific applications and characteristics.
1:5 (cement:sand) is the best ratio
The portland cement is used in general construction.The type-II cement is used in general concrete construction exposed to moderate sulphate action. i.e.,Concrete to be used in marine conditions.Concrete to be used in the construction of sewage treatment works.

Type-I - Ordinary portland cement used in general constructionType-II - Portland pozzolana cement , moderate heat of hydrationType- III - Rapid hardening cement used for quick setting worksType-IV - low heat cement, low heat of hydrationType-V - Sulphate resisting cement used in sewage linings,marine construction.
The type of sand is also important. The right ratio for a mixture of cement and sand is 1:5 to 1:6

it depends on the type of mix and water cement ratio.
