Step 1: Dimensions of a Standard Brick
A standard brick size is generally 190 mm x 90 mm x 90 mm (without mortar). When considering mortar thickness (10 mm), the dimensions become:
- 200 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm (0.2 m x 0.1 m x 0.1 m)
Step 2: Volume of One Brick (with Mortar)
Volume of one brick (with mortar) = 0.2m×0.1m×0.1m = 0.002 m3
Step 3: Number of Bricks in 1 Cubic Meter
To find the number of bricks:
Number of bricks =(Volume of brickwork / Volume of one brick (with mortar)
Number of bricks=(1/0.002) = 500 bricks
