Calculate Number of Bricks in Wall

How to calculate Bricks in Wall

1- Standard Size of Brick : 9" x 4.5" x 3"

2- Mortar used during Masonry Thick : 0.5" Maximum

3- Formula :

Nos of Bricks = Volume of Wall /Volume of One Brick -------(1)

Example:

Let, I am taking a Wall length 100 ft and 10 feet High with 9" Thick. How many bricks with standard size required to construct this wall ?

Length of wall : 100 ft

Height of wall : 10 ft

Thickness of wall : 9"

Volume of Wall : L x H x Thick

= 100' x 10' x 9/12' = 750 Cubic Feet

Volume of one Brick including 0.25 " thick mortar all sides

: L x B x Thick

= 9.25" x 4.75" x 3.25 " = 142.7968 Cubic inch

Now Convert it to Cubic Feet

1 Cubic Feet = 1728 Cubic inches

142.7968 ÷ 1 = 142.7968 ÷ 1728

Then = 0.08263 Cubic feet.

Now putting value in formula ---(1)

Nos= 750 / 0.08263
