ESTIMATING THE QUANTITY OF BRICKS FOR 1 CUBIC METER

ESTIMATING THE QUANTITY OF BRICKS REQUIRED FOR 1 CUBIC METER

FOR MODULAR BRICKS

Thickness of mortar = 0.01 m

Hence, volume of brick with mortar = 0.002 m³

Number of bricks required = 1/ 0.002 = 500 bricks

FOR NON-MODULAR BRICKS

SIZE OF BRICK WITHOUT MORTAR

9 inch = 0.2286 m

4.5 inch = 0.1143 m

3 inch = 0.0762 m

0.002557

Thickness of mortar = 0.01 m

Hence, volume of brick with mortar = 0.002557 m³

Number of bricks required = 1/ 0.002557 = 391.1575 ~ 392 bricks
