CIVIL ENGINEER: How many bricks in 1 m3?

The Standard size of first class brick is 190 mm x 90 mm x 90 mm.
Mortar joint should be 10 mm thick.
So brick with mortar = 200 x 100 x 100.




Volume of first class brick with mortar= 0.2 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.002 cu.m
No. of bricks per 1 cu.m = 1/ (volume of first class brick with mortar) = 1/0.002=500 nos of brick.
