how to calculate no. of bricks for 1 cft?
how to calculate cement and sand in cft?

Answer Posted / nadim shaikh

Multiply the size of brick and get the volume ffor e.g.
4 inch brick
= 9"x3"x4"
=0.75 x 0.25 x 0.33 =0.061875 cubic foot
Now 1÷0.061875 = 16 bricks

In any kind of BRICK WORK 33% mortar is assumed in one cubiic foot
That is in 100 cubic foot 33% Will be 33 cubic foot
Consider mortar mix ratio 1:6
Therefore for cement = 33 ÷ 7 (addition of 1 and 6)
=4.71÷1.25 (1 cement bag is 1.25 cu.ft.)
=3.768 ~3.8 bags
Sand = 4.71 × 7 = 33 cu.ft
