how much quantity of cement and sand required for
construction of 10 cum brick work( Brick size
3"*4"*9"(Standard size ) an d for 10 cum construction of SSM
(Size stone masonary) with Cm 1:6 for both.

Answer Posted / b.s.dev

Let the size of brick be 230mm x 115mm x 75mm
Vol. of brick( w/o mortar) = 0.00198 cum.
Thk. of mortar be 12mm.
vol. of brick with mortar = 242mm x 127mm x 87mm
= 0.00267 cum.
No. of bricks in 1 cum. with mortar = 1/0.00267
= 373.99
Say = 374 bricks.
Cement Mortar required = 1-( 374 x 0.00198)cum.
= 0.259 cum.
Say 0.26 cum

Add 15% for frog filling and wastage while execution.
Vol. of wet mortar = 0.299 cum.
Vol. of dry mortar( increase by 30% ) = 0.388 cum.

For CM of 1:6

Qty. of cement = 1/7 x (1440 x 0.388)
= 0.055 cum.
Qty. of sand = 0.055 x 6
= 0.330 cum.
