Brick is a construction material it’s made up with clay, composition of brick is Lime 2 to 5% Alumina-clay 20 to 30%, Silica-Sand – 50 to 60%, Bricks are rectangular blocks of backed clay which is used to construct a walls and payment and other some masonry in construction.

Brick Masonry is constructed by placing of brick with mortar which is called as brick masonry Brick masonry is a highly durable form of construction

How to calculate brick quantities in brick masonry Wall

For Example Wall Size is

Length (L) -1m, Height (H) – 1m and Width(W) is-1m

Standard brick Size – 190 x 90 x 90 mm / 0.19 x 0.09 x 0.09 m (Without Mortar)

Mortar Thickness is -10mm

Brick Size with Mortar – 200 x 100 x 100 mm / 0.20 x 0.10 x 0.10 m

Formula to Find the Number of Brick Quantity in Wall is

Formula = Volume of Wall / Volume of One Brick 

Volume of Wall   = Length (L) x Width (W) x Height (H)

Volume of Wall   =  1 x 1 x 1 = 1.0 mᶟ

Volume of one Brick without Mortar = 0.19 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 0.00154 mᶟ

Volume of one Brick with Mortar       = 0.20 x 0.10 x 0.10 = 0.00200 mᶟ

So, No of brick required in 1mᶟ of Wall is

No of Brick without Mortar  =    1.0 / 0.00154 = 650 Nos

No of Brick with Mortar        =    1.0 / 0.0020 = 500 Nos

Usually Wastages considers 5% in brick Work 

No of Brick with Mortar        =  (1.0 / 0.0020)+5% of Total Nos of Bricks

No of Brick with Mortar        =  (500)+(500*5%) = 525 Nos of Bricks Requires

1. Brick Without Mortar (190 x  90 x 90) mm Size  Required in 1mᶟ = 650 Nos

2. Brick With Mortar (200 x 100 x 100 ) mm Size  Required in 1mᶟ = 500 Nos  (Without wastage)

3. Brick With Mortar (200 x 100 x 100 ) mm Size  Required in 1mᶟ = 525 Nos (With wastage 5%)
