BRICK WORK CALCULATION IN CONSTRUCTION

          A rectangular unit composed of clay which is used in construction is called a Brick. In different regions of world bricks are available in different sizes and classes. 

In this session we are going to learn 

1. How many bricks required for 1 cubic meter or 1 m3 . (Brickwork calculation).

To calculate how many number of bricks are required for 1 m3  we have to follow below steps:

Step 1: Calculate the volume of a single brick

The size of a brick vary according to the region, the standard size of a brick in India is 19 cm X 9 cm X 9 cm (190 mm X 90 mm X 90 mm). (Specified by Indian Standards institution, New Delhi). 
Then the volume of a single brick = 0.19 m X 0.09 m X 0.09 m 
                                                              = 0.00154 cu. m

Step 2: 

Total volume required = 1 cu. m or m3
Volume of each brick = 0.00154 cu.m or m3

No.of bricks in 1 m3 = 1/0.00154  = 649.39 Bricks = 650 bricks.

hence around 650 bricks are required for 1 m3 .
