sorry for the delayed reply.. this is based on the structural engineers specifications but typically , 9inches is used on the exterior and 6 inches or 4 can be used in the interior. If u have a framed structure ie post and beams, 6inches is fine both for exterior and interior
Good morning sir, am I to calculate the external blocks and internal blocks same way you calculated the area of blocks and the area of wall and multiply by 2 to give the total quantity of blocks needed for a building?
goodmorning. I would say just calculate the surface area of the walls independently or get the entire length of the wall and get the height to get the surface and you are good to go
If you have opening for windows, calculate area of each windows, sum them up and subtract the total sum of window areas from the total area of the wall already calculated. Other openings too from the walk would have to be deducted, after finding their areas.
What's your take on using 6inches hollow blocks to run interior and exterior partition for a story building?
Should be find as long as you have structural columns in between,
6” block is common on high rises

Insightfullll
Thank you for that spontaneous lecture sir. Sir, how do one calculate it in plan
i will do a video showing that

That’s right . This is usually applicable where you have any wall openings. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks eng becouse you solved my problem
you are welcome
It’s Sq ft multiplied by 1.13
You’re welcome
thanks for the tip
You didn't factor in the mortar used....
yes i didnt. thank you for noting. I mean if u want to get detailed, sure thats fine. for estimation purposes, this is also fine
That seems wrong! You did not take into account the amount of mortar

I explained that in this video .
Thank you for the insight
More civil engineering bro
Thank you bro . I really appreciate it
Ok brother . Although I’m not a structural engineer. But I can find more info for you
Thank you for that spontaneous lecture sir. Sir, how do one calculate it in plan
you are welcome. once u know the entire length of the wall you are trying to calculate and the height. then you're good to go
