In this exclusive civil engineering article, one can learn how to work out the quantity of bricks in 1 bag cement for 4 inches and 9 inches wall.

Suppose, the length and height of the 4 inches wall = 10 feet

It is assumed that in a 4 inches brick wall, total numbers of required bricks = 500

It is known that in one bag cement, the total numbers of bricks = 250 (for 4 inches wall)

The thickness of mortar = ½ inch.

If the thickness of mortar is lower, the total numbers of bricks will be reduced.

Now, multiply 250 bricks with 2 i.e. 250 x 2 = 500 bricks

So, 2 bags cement are required for 500 bricks.

Now, the dimension of the wall = 10 x 10 = 100 square feet

So, in 100 square feet wall, total numbers of cements required = 2 bags

Here, the ratio of mix = 1:4 i.e. 1 bucket cement and 4 buckets sands.

It is assumed that in a 9 inches brick wall, total numbers of required bricks = 1000

It is known that in one bag cement, the total numbers of bricks should be = 250 (for 9 inches wall with 12 mm or ½ inch mortar).

So, in 3 bags cement, required numbers of bricks = 1050

Here, the mix ratio of 9 inches wall = 1:6 i.e. 1 bucket cement and 6 buckets sands.

The ratio of sand should not be in excess of 6 as the longevity of the structure will be hampered with the increased amount of sand. Besides, the cost of cement will also be raised.
