Level of Bricks and Mortar in a Masonry Wall
Tallness of the divider alongside the mortar = (10 x 3) + [(9 x 12)/25.4] = 34.252″
In the above condition
10 = No of Brick Layers
9 = No of layers of Mortar of 12mm each
3 = Brick Height in inches
Width= 4.5"
Length of the divider alongside the mortar= (5.5 x 9) + [(5×12)/25.4]
Volume of the divider alongside the mortar= L×W×H
Volume of the divider alongside the mortar= 7993.72 cubic inch
Volume of the divider alongside the mortar= 4.626 cft
Presently Number of Bricks= 55
Volume of One Brick= (9/128) cft
Add up to volume of blocks used= 55 x (9/128) = 3.867 cft
%age of blocks utilized = (3.867/4.626)*100 = 83.6 = 84%
%age of mortar used= 16.4%
