A concrete mix is a combination of five major elements in various proportions: cement, water, coarse aggregates, fine aggregates (i.e. sand), and air. Additional elements such as pozzolanic materials and chemical admixtures can also be incorporated into the mix to give it certain desirable properties.

The various factors affecting the choice of concrete mix design are:

• Compressive strength of concrete.
• Workability of concrete.
• Durability of concrete.
• Maximum nominal size of aggregate.
• Grading and type of aggregate.
• Quality Control at site.

For the design of concrete mix, the following information is required:

• Grade of concrete.
• Degree of workability.
• Maximum temperature of fresh concrete.
• Type of cement.
• Minimum cement content.
• Maximum water cement ratio.
• Type of aggregates.
• Maximum nominal size of aggregate.

There are three main Cement Grades from which you can choose. These are Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Slag Cement (PSC) and Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) available in the market. OPC is available in two grades — 43 and 53. Both grades are considered best for plastering work.

After you have found the square footage of both your wall and your block, determining the number of blocks you need is as simple as dividing the wall square footage by the block square footage. If you’re using a standard 16″ x 8″ x 8″ block, find the number of blocks needed by dividing the wall square footage by 0.89.

This 12″ load bearing block is designed for foundation walls and structures. Made of high quality concrete, this block is constructed to maintain long lasting strength….Sign In.

Measure the length and height of the block in inches and then substitute the values in the equation square feet of block = (length of block x height of block) / 144. For example, a standard cement block measures 16 x 8 inches, so it covers 0.89 square feet — (16 x 8) / 144 = 0.89.

How to calculate number of blocks for your building project in 2 simple steps.

1. To calculate wall areas, we will calculate the total length of walls and multiply by wall height. Area=Length x Breadth, In this case since we are dealing with height,
2. Area of one block is 225mmx450mm= 101,250mm2.

For a square or rectangular room, you will first need to measure the length and then the width of the room. Then multiply the length and width. Length x Width = Area. So, if your room measures 11 feet wide x 15 feet long, your total area will be 165 square feet.
