HOW MANY BRICKS IT IS NECESSARY AT HOUSE BUILDING (ON THE EXAMPLE)

            For this purpose it is necessary to define wall volume. For example, if superficial measures of the house 8 х 6,5м, height 4м, and a thickness of walls 38см, the volume is calculated as

 

2 х [(8 – 0.76) + 6.5] х 4 х 0.38 = 41.77м3

 

If volume of 8 windows and 2 doors equally 5.54м3 the definitive volume will be

 

41.77 – 5.54 = 36.23м3

 

Knowing wall volume, we will define the necessary quantity of a brick. For this purpose the volume is multiplied on 405 as on 1м3 walls need a brick of 405 pieces. So, it is necessary

 

405 х 36.23 = 14673 pieces of a brick

 

With the possibility of breakage during a stacking, it is necessary to take with a reserve approximately 3%. I.e.:

 

14673 х 1.03 = 15113 pieces

 

The quantity of a brick necessary for internal walls and for a footstall is defined in the same way.

 

The sizes of a brick (standard): 250 х 120 х 65мм.

Weight of a brick (standard) 3.5-4кг
