See lessWhat grade of concrete to be used for waterproofing of basement of apartment?
Water proofing is done using shotcrete not concrete. Basement should be built using concrete . Water proofing can also be done by polymer membrane systems called tanking ( refer to CIRIA). I used ACI 506 to design shotcrete. Its should be of 28Mpa strength using 12mm down aggregates.

See lessWhat is the percentage of fineness content in OPC for construction works?
The most active part of cement is the material finer than 10-15 nanometer. Furthermore, a fine grind of cement clinker is able to coat the surfaces of aggregates more completely than coarse material enabling intimate contact of the resultant paste or mortar.

See lessHow to calculate admixture for transporting concrete for long distances to delay setting time in case of long-distance transportation in transit mixers?
The admixture which we use in the concrete for delaying its setting time then such type of admixtures are called as retarders. Gypsum is a retarding agent which we add in the cement during its manufacturing process. Gypsum is work as a starting agent as well as it restricts soundness in the cement.Read more

Apart from gypsum of various admixtures already listed in some previous post.
The chemical name of gypsum is calcium sulphate.
Thank you.

How to calculate the number of bricks for a 10 feet x 10 feet room?
For 10 x 10 ft room first calculate the volume and then find the no. of brick with the following method Room walls volume can be found by Centre line method or long wall short wall method. Let us take an example for 10 Cu.m masonry Size of bricks 230 x 115 x 75 mm Volume of brick 1.98 x 10-3 Cu.m AdRead more
For 10 x 10 ft room first calculate the volume and then find the no. of brick with the following method
Room walls volume can be found by Centre line method or long wall short wall method.
| Let us take an example for 10 Cu.m masonry | |
| Size of bricks | 230 x 115 x 75 mm |
| Volume of brick | 1.98 x 10-3 Cu.m |
| Adding cement mortar (Thickness 10mm) | 240 x 125 x 85 mm |
| Volume of new brick | 2.55 x 10-3 Cu.m |
| No. of modules | =10/2.55 x 10-3 = 3922 No. |
| Adding wastage 12% | =3922 + 12% = 4393 No. |
Here module is brick along with the cement mortar on all side.
Now, this is for 230mm wall, this method is not applicable for partition wall, as it is measured in sq.mt it is having different method.
Hope this help!
Thankyou.
