Learn to compute cement quota, brickwork volume & no. of fixes for a brick wall

This construction video tutorial will show the details of cement quota, brick work volume, number of fixes for a brick wall construction.

To calculate the brickwork volume, just apply the following formula :-

Total brickwork area x wall thickness
= 31.98 x 0.2 = 6.38 m3

The ratio of cement & mortar needed in brickwork is 1:3 (it can also be taken as 1:5 and 1:6).
Volume of brickwork = 6.38 m3
For 1 cubic meter of cement mortar, the volume of sand will be 0.2m3
For 6.38 cubic meter, the volume of sand will be 6.38 x 0.2 = 1.276 m3

For 1m3 cement mortar, the volume of cement will be = (0.2x1440)/3 (3 denotes last digit of ratio)
= (0.2 x 1440)/3 = 96 KGS
For 6.38 cubic meter, the volume of cement will be 6.38 x 96 = 612.48 KGS

To work out the number of cement bags, just divide it by 50 (as weight of 1 cement bag is similar to 50 Kg)
Therefore, 612.48/50 = 12.24 bags = 13 bags (approx.)
