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

Answer Posted / faisal qaseem

Dear I think the answer is incorrect and is some what like that:

Sand Qty will be 6/7*33 = 28.285 Cft
to get its dry volume 28.285 * 1.54 = 43.5 Cft

Also bricks in market are not available in standard sizes, practically its size varies and is around 8.75"*2.75"*3.75"

whereas to get the volume from the same quantities (Cft volume of all walls considering bricks only) as obtained by estimation (Autocad and Excel etc), the ration will be practically 75% and 25% and not 67% and 33%.

Is This Answer Correct ?    15 Yes 3 No

As per Kandal suggestions, we have implemented rolling starts on 140 (+/- 5) degrees and we kept 3 rollars to complete the rolling before falling 125 degrees and the Aggregate AIV is below 22. But When the DBM bed is being rolled 3rd high viabration, (Before 1 plain & low ,2 high Viabrations), the aggregate is getting sharp edge agg. projections are damaged. As the literature is said that, the VG-30 Grade having better control the temp. susceptibility than Penetration grade. if so we could not get this problem at site. But we are facing on site. let me know.
