Calculating the number of bricks for the construction of

In this article, we together calculate how many bricks required to build a house, as well as to acquaint the reader with some important nuances necessary for self-walling houses.

So, take for calculation the following parameters:
- Floors = 1.5 (1 fl. + Attic);
- perimeter of the house = 30 meters (W: D = 7: 8);
- wall thickness - 1/2 bricks;
- Laying mesh - 3 series;
- height of the walls - 3 meters;
- 2 gable;

Now a bit of magic numbers:
Masonry, we need to cover 100 square meters, on which we will need 5,080 bricks, the price of each - 12 rubles.
So, the total cost of bricks - 60 960 rubles.
With a weight of 3.6 kg brick in the total mass of the wall = 18.2 tons.

But what is brick without mortar?

For the construction of a wall in a half-brick, we need 4 tons of mortar (40 rows of bricks) and 300 meters of masonry grid (every 3 rows).

As a result, the total weight of the walls will be approximately 22.2 tons, and the load on the foundation - 0, 62 kg / cm2.

For such a load on the wall fit the following foundation:

- ribbon

- Swedish stove warmed
