BRICKS ARE THERE IN ONE CUBIC METER
Brick is a solid masonry unit made of clay or shale and formed into a rectangular prism while soft, then burned or fired in an oven. There is a wide and ever-changing variety of bricks available to the industry.
Usually there are 500 bricks used in 1 m3. For this we know the standard size of a brick is 19" x 9" x 9" and with mortar, it becomes 20" x 10" x 10'. So first we have to find the volume of brick and then the volume of 1 m3 area.
TYPES OF BRICKS:
- Face brick is used where appearance is important (e.g., veneer walls). Its manufacture is closely controlled so that colour, size, hardness, strength, and texture are uniform.
- Common brick is used in applications where performance is more important than appearance (e.g., below-grade masonry, as a backup for face brick, or in manholes) fired with a ceramic or other type of glazing material on the exposed surfaces. It is typically used in applications where durability and cleanliness are essential (e.g., restrooms, kitchens, and hospitals).
- Firebrick is used in areas of high temperatures, such as furnaces and fireplaces
- Brick pavers are used as a wearing surface for floors, walks, and patios. Pavers are typically hard and durable, with a high resistance to damage from both freeze-thaw cycles and the corrosive salts used to melt snow.
- SCR brick is a patented type of brick developed by the Structural Clay Products Institute (SCR). SCR brick has a nominal width of 6" in contrast to the nominal 4" associated with modular brick.
