Mathematical Formula

Number of Bricks = Wall Volume / Single Brick Volume with Mortar

Overview & Explanation

Estimates total bricks, cement bags, and sand required to construct masonry walls based on standard brick dimensions and mortar joint thickness.

How It Works

  • Calculates gross wall volume from length, height, and wall thickness.
  • Determines brick counts using nominal brick volume including 10mm mortar joints.
  • Calculates wet & dry mortar volume to find cement and sand proportions.

Practical Applications

  • House perimeter wall construction
  • Partition walls
  • Retaining walls

Worked Example: 10m x 3m 9-inch Brick Wall
