1:6 brick masonry cement and sand calculations

Answer Posted / jakeer hussain

brick joint 10mm.
Brick volume 0.23x0.115x0.76=.0020m3
So for 1m3 brick work brick required=1/.0020=500nos
taking joint ,volume =.240x.125x0.086=.00245
Now for 1m3 brick work brick require=1/.00258= 388nos
So mortar volume =500-388=112nos brick=112x0.0020=0.32m3
For 1:6 mortar Cement 1/7x0.320=0.0457m3=0.00457/0.0345=1.32bags=1.32x50=66 kg
Sand=6/7x0.32=.274m3x35.28=9.67cft
