Calculations for Brick Calculator for Wall

Let’s understand with the help of an example, how to use the above Calculations for Brick Calculator for Wall

Assumptions For Example

  • Brick Dimension = 0.19 x 0.09 x 0.09 m 
  • Length of wall = 10 m
  • Width of wall = 10 m
  • Thickness of wall = 0.23 m
  • Cement:Sand Ratio = 1:6
  • Mortar Thickness = 0.01 m
  • Wastage of mortar = 10%
  • Volume of 1 cement bag = 0.035 m3

Calculation Procedure

  • Step 1: Calculation of Volume
    Volume of wall = 10 x 10 x 0.23
    = 23 m3
    Volume of brick = 0.19 x 0.09 x 0.09
    = 0.001539 m3
    Volume of brick with mortar thickness = (0.19+0.01) x (0.09+0.01) x (0.09+0.01)
    = 0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.002 m3

  • Step 2: Calculation of the number of bricks
     No. of brick = Volume of wall / Volume of brick including mortar thickness
    = 23 / 0.002
    = 11500 bricks

  • Step 3: Calculation of Mortar volume(wet & dry)
    Mortar volume required = (Volume of wall – (Volume of brick without mortar thickness x No. of brick))
    = 23 – (0.001539 x 11500)
    = 5.30 m3
    Adding 10% wastage,Required mortar = 5.30 + 10% of 5.30= 5.83 m3
    Here above mortar is wet volume of mortar
    Dry Volume of Mortar = Wet volume x 1.33
    = 5.83 x 1.33
    = 7.75 m3

  • Step 4: Calculation of Cement and Sand
    Since Cement: Sand = 1:6
    The volume of cement = (1 x volume of dry mortar) / 7
    = (1x 7.75) / 7
    = 1.10 m3
    No. of Cement Bags = Volume of cement / Volume of 1 bag of cement
    = 1.10 / 0.035
    = 32 Bags
    The volume of sand = (6 x volume of dry mortar) / 7
    = (6x 7.75) / 7
    = 6.65 m3

Final Result

Number of Bricks = 11500 Bricks
Number of Cement Bags = 32 Bags
Volume of Sand = 6.65 m3
