5 to the total for waste.
In general block wastage is commonly between 15 for a hard block and 5 for softer ones.
Step 5 divide the total surface area of the wall by the surface area of the representative block to get the total number of blocks in the wall.
For example if your standard concrete block is 1 foot by 0 5 feet and is separated from its neighbours by a half inch of mortar then each block accounts for 1 0417 x 0 5417 or 0 5643 square feet.
A wall typically requires 1 1 8 blocks per square foot.
Finding how many concrete blocks you need for your project can seem like a confusing and challenging task but it can be simplified using the calculator above.
Divide the total volume of the wall by volume of one block.
To calculate the total number of concrete blocks needed.
Just enter the dimensions of your wall project and the concrete block calculator will figure out how many blocks are needed.
