How to calculate the amount of Brick,cement & sand required
for 1 cum of 230mm thick brick work with ratio 1:5 please
give me an answer with detailed step

Answer Posted / md.parvez

1). Brick calculation 
take brick size =200mmx100mmx100mm
convert in meter =0.2mx.1mx.1m
total volume of brick= .2x.1x.1=0.002 cum

calculate the numbers of brick for 1cum = 1cum/0.002cum= 500 numbers of bricks.

2). cement calculation
the ratio of cement mortar =1:5
sum =1+5=6
total dry mortar requried for 1 cum brick masonary=.30cum
so, 
cement = (.30x1)/6= 0.05 cum
convert in KG=.05x1440=72KG
convert in cement bag= 72/50=1.44bag.

sand calculation
sand =(.30x5)/6=.25cum
convert in kg =.25x1440=360Kg.
