HOW TO CALCULATE THE QUANTITY OF HOLLOW CONCRETE BLOCKS AND MORTOR IN WALL

Given,

Length of Wall = 6 m

Height of wall  = 3 m

Mortar Ratio    = 1:5

Thickness of Mortar = 25 mm

Size of Block = 400 mm x 150 mm x 200 mm


Solution:

Volume of Wall = L x B x H

                           = 6 x 0.15 x 3

                           = 2.7 Cum.



Volume of 1 Hollow Block = 0.4 x 0.15 x 0.2

                                                  = 0.012 Cum


Volume of 1 Hollow Block with Mortar = 0.425 x 0.15 x 0.225

                                                                               = 0.014 Cum.


Number of Hollow Blocks =                    Volume of Wall               

                                                Volume of 1 Hollow Block with Mortar

                                            = 2.7 / 0.014

                                            = 192.85

                                            = 193 Blocks.


Total Volume of Block = Number of Blocks x Volume of 1 Block

                                      = 193 x 0.012

                                      = 2.136 Cum


Volume of Mortar = Volume of Wall - Total Volume of Block

                               = 2.7 - 2.316

                               = 0.384 Cum ( Wet Volume)


Now convert Wet Volume in Dry Volume

Dry Volume of Mortar = 0.384 x 1.33  

                                              = 0.51 Cum.


Volume of Cement = ( Dry Volume x Ratio of Cement x Density of Cement) / Sum of Ratio

                                = ( 0.51 x 1 x 1440 ) / 6 

                                = 122.4 Kg

Cement in Bags     = 1224.4 / 50

                                = 2.4 Bags


Volume of Sand  = ( Dry Volume x Ratio of Sand ) / Sum of Ratio

                                  = ( 0.51 x 5 ) / 6 

                                 = 2.55 Cum

Sand in CFT       = 2.55 x 35.3147

                                = 15.008 CFT.
