Knowing how many bricks are in one cube, you can calmly calculate the amount for the construction of any structure. You can also immediately calculate how much the construction will cost. How can I do that?
Determining the number of bricks in a cube
To calculate the number of bricks, you need to know the size of one unit. The most common in construction is ceramic brick, which is used for the construction of foundations, external and internal walls.
The standard dimensions of such a brick are 25 by 12 by 6.5 cm. Such dimensions are optimal for laying along and across. For faster construction, bricks are used, measuring 25 by 12 by 13.5 cm, but because of their low resistance they are not used for foundations.
It is important to note that only those bricks that were produced according to GOST have similar dimensions. If there are doubts about the quality of the materials, then you need to independently measure the sides of the product.
To find out the total volume of a cube, you need to calculate it for one unit. To do this, take the parameters of length, width and height. Further, the total volume of one cubic meter is divided by the volume of the unit. If the number is fractional, then it is rounded up. As a result, the required number of bricks is obtained.
How to calculate the number of bricks in a cubic meter of masonry
To determine the number of bricks in one cubic meter of masonry, it is necessary to take an additional parameter: the thickness of the cement mortar, because it also occupies part of the volume.
The formula by which the quantity is determined in this case: (Length + mortar thickness) x (brick width) x (brick thickness + mortar thickness).
As an average thickness of the seam take 1 or 1.5 cm. Also, for such calculations, there are special tables where calculations are indicated by the size and type of brick laying. They save a lot of time and make life easier.
Working according to the tables, it is important to remember that for any construction it is necessary to take material with a margin of at least 10%. Since the brick during construction can be defective or break in the process.
