How many brick in 1 cubic meter with mortar.
Quantity estimation of materials is essentially required in any construction works and the quantity of materials depends on the mix proportions of the concrete.
Sand and cement calculator for brick wall
In this article, I will discuss how to calculate bricks, cement, and sand in brick masonry. So let’s get started.
Assuming,
- Volume of brickwork = 1 m3
- Grade of mortar = 1:6 (cement : sand)
- First class brick (190 mm x 90 mm x 90 mm)
- Thickness of mortar = 10 mm = 0.01 m
No.
Of Bricks:
No. of bricks = (Volume of brickwork / Volume of one brick with mortar)
Volume of one brick without mortar = 0.19×0.09×0.09 = 0.001539 m3
Volume of brick with mortar = (0.19+0.01) x (0.09+0.1)x (0.09+0.1)
= 0.2×0.1×0.1 = 0.002 m3
No.of bricks = 1.0/ (0.002) = 500
Consider 10% to 15 % bricks as wastage.
∴ Total no.
of bricks = 500 + (10 x 500 )/100 = 550
Quantity Of Mortar:
Volume occupied by bricks = No. of bricks x Volume of one brick
Volume of bricks = 500 x 0.001539 = 0.7695 m3
Volume of mortar = Volume of brickwork – Volume of bricks
∴ Volume of Mortar = 1.0 – 0.7695 = 0.2305
