2. BRICK WORK
Considering 1:4 ratios for cement mortar in 150mm thick brickwork.

Calculation of quantity for 5 cu.m volume in brickwork as follows:

Size of brick = 19 cm x9 cm x9 cm.

Vol. of brick = (0.19 x 0.09 x 0.09) cu.m

= 0.00154cu.m.

Vol. of brick with cement mortar

= (0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1) cu.m

= 0.002 cu.m.

No. of bricks in 5 cu.m

= 5 (vol. of one brick with mortar).

3
 ENGINEERING INTEGRATED TRAINING INSTITUTE- NELLORE

= 5 0.002

= 2500

Vol. of 2500 bricks = 2500 x vol. of one brick without mortar.

=2500 x 0.00154

= 3.85cu.m.

Vol. of mortar = 5 3.85 = 1.15 cu.m.

Add 15% (Bulkage + wastage)

Vol. of wet mortar = 1.15 + {1.15 x (15 100)}

= 1.323cu.m

Vol. of dry mortar = 1.323 + 33% in wet mortars for interlocking =1.759cu.m

Vol. of cement = 1.759 (1+4) =0.352cu.m

No. of cement bags = 0.352 0.035

=10.057bags.

10.00bags

Vol. of sand = 0.352 x 4

= 1.408cu.m.

3. INTERNAL PLASTER

12mm thick internal plaster

Considering 100sqm area

Proportion of C:M = 1:4

Summation of proportion =5

Quantity of one cement bag = 0.035cum

Quantity of wet mortar = 0.012 x 100 = 1.2cum

4
 ENGINEERING INTEGRATED TRAINING INSTITUTE- NELLORE

Adding 15% wastage = 1.2 + (1.2 x 0.15) =1.38cum

Volume of dry mix = 1.38 + (1.38 x 1/3) =1.84cum

Volume of cement = (dry volume / 5) x 1

= (1.84 /5) x 1

= 0.368cum

= 0.368 / 0.035

=10.5 bags

Volume of sand = (dry volume / 5) x 4

= (1.84 /5) x 4

= 1.472 cum

4. EXTERNAL PLASTER
20mm thick external plaster

Considering 100sqm area.

Proportion for mix C:M = 1:4.
Summation of proportion = 5.
Quantity of one cement bag = 0.035cum.
Quantity of wet mortar = 0.02 x 100 = 2cum.
Adding 20% wastage = 2 +( 2 x 0.2 ) = 2.4cum.
Volume of dry mix = 2.4 + (2.4 x 1/3) = 3.2cum.
Volume of cement = (dry volume / 5) x 1
= (3.2 /5) x 1
= 0.64cum
= 0.64 / 0.035
= 18.3 bags
= 19 bags
Volume of sand = (dry mix / 5) x 4
= (3.2 /5) x 4
= 2.56cum.
