## Bricks masonry calculation

#### Step 1 :

Add 15% more for wastage, Non - uniform thickness of mortar joins

Add 25% more for Dry Volume

#### Amount of Cement

##### $\frac{\mathrm{Cement}}{\mathrm{Sum of Ratio}}×\mathrm{Qauntity Of Mortar}$
1 Bag of Cement = 0.035 m3

#### Amount of Sand Required

##### $\frac{\mathrm{Sand}}{\mathrm{Sum of Ratio}}×\mathrm{Qauntity Of Mortar}$
By Considering dry loose bulk density of sand 1500 kg/m3

## What is Bricks Masonry calculation?

A brick Masonry is building material used to make walls, pavements and other elements in masonry Construction. Traditionally, the term brick referred to a unit composed of clay, but it is now used to denote rectangular units made of clay-bearing soil, sand, and lime, or concrete materials.

The need to build highly durable high-rise structures was the motivation for fired brick manufacturing. bricks Masonry have been widely preferred as a building material because of their high compressive strength, durability, fire and weathering resistance, and thermal and sound insulation. A lot of variety exists in RCC and there are different types of RCC

##### Bricks Masonry Calculation

Where,
• m3(Cubic meter) and ft3(Cubic feet) is a total area.
• Here 1:5 ratio so 1 is part of cement and 5 is a part of sand 6 is total ofcement and sand
• 0.002 is volume of bricks with cement and sand.
• 0.0015 Volume of brick without cement and sand Answer we get is with water so we get mortar.
• 0.035 is volume of one cement bag.
• 1500 is volume conversion m3 to kg.
• Length and breadth in meter/cm.

Note:
1 m3 = 35.3147 ft3

## What are the important bricks masonry?

Clay bricks expand or contract with increases or decreases in moisture content. In addition, they undergo long-term irreversible expansion due to adsorption of water vapor from the atmosphere. The rate of irreversible expansion is initially high but decreases with age. Concrete blocks, stone and mortar expand or contract with changes in moisture content but, unlike clay bricks, they undergo long-term drying shrinkage.
