How to calculate quantity of bricks for wall ?
Q.Calculate material required for brickwall of size 10m × 10m×0.2m and brick size is 190mm×90mm×90mm for 1:6 cement sand ratio.
Ans: wall volume ,
Wv=10×10×0.2=20 cu.meter
Brick volume,
Bv=0.19×0.09×0.09=0.001539 cu.meter
consider thickness of mortar on brick is 10mm
So brick size increase by 10mm ie.200mm×100mm×100m
Brick volume with mortar,
Bvm=0.2×0.1×0.1=0.002 cu.meter
Number of bricks with mortar,
N=Wv/Bvm
=20/0.002=10000 nos
Quantity of mortar is,
Qm=Wv-(N×Bv)
=20-(10000×0.001539)
=4.61 cu.meter
4.61 cu.meter is a wet volume of mortar
Dry volume of mortar,
Dvm=4.61×1.33=6.13 cu.meter
Given cement sand ratio is 1:6,
Sum of ratio is 1+6=7
Quantity of cement,
=(cement part in ratio/sum of ratio)×Dvm
=(1/7)×6.13=0.8757 cu.meter
Multiply by cement density 1440 kg/cu.m for converting cu.meter to kg
=0.8757×1440=1261 kg
Quantity of sand,
=(sand part in ratio/sum of ratio)×Dvm
=(6/7)×6.13=5.25 cu.meter
4.61 cu.meter is a wet volume of mortar
Dry volume of mortar,
Dvm=4.61×1.33=6.13 cu.meter
Given cement sand ratio is 1:6,
Sum of ratio is 1+6=7
Quantity of cement,
=(cement part in ratio/sum of ratio)×Dvm
=(1/7)×6.13=0.8757 cu.meter
Multiply by cement density 1440 kg/cu.m for converting cu.meter to kg
=0.8757×1440=1261 kg
Quantity of sand,
=(sand part in ratio/sum of ratio)×Dvm
=(6/7)×6.13=5.25 cu.meter
