how much brick,cement,and sand required in 1cum
brickwork(1:4)

Answer Posted / ashok yadav

The actual size of brick is 230 mm x 110 mm x 75 mm
Volume of one brick = 0.0018975 cum
For calculation take a wall of size 10.00 mtr long and 3.00 mtr height 230mm thick wall
Volume of wall = 6.90 Cum
No of course with 10mm thick mortar = 3.00/0.085 = 35 coarses
No of bricks in one coarse 10.00/0.24 = 41.67x2 =83 nos
Total no of bricks in wall = 83x35 = 2905 bricks
No of bricks in one cum = 2905/6.9 = 421 Bricks
Total volume of Bricks = 421x0.0018975 = 0.798 Cum
Volume of Mortar = 1.00-0.798 = 0.202 Cum
Add Wastage 15 % = 0.2323 Cum
Add Bulkage dry to wet mortar 25% = 0.29 Cum Say 0.30 Cum
If Mortar ratio is 1:6 then Cement = (0.30/7)x28.8 Bags= 1.23 Bags
Sand = (0.30/7)x6 Cum = 0.0.257 Cum= 9.0 Cft
If Ratio is 1:4 then Cement = (0.30/5)x28.8 Bags= 1.72 Bags
Sand = (0.30/5)x4 Cum = 0.24 Cum = 8.5 Cft
Sand
