Question

Calculate the number of standard modular bricks required for flat brick soiling for one kilometre length of 4.00 m wide road.

(a) 2.4 Lakhs of bricks

(b) 2.2 Lakhs of bricks

(c) 6.3 Lakhs of bricks

(d) 7.7 Lakhs of bricks

This question was addressed to me in exam.

The origin of the question is Estimate of Metalled Roads in portion Road Estimating, Sanitary and Water Supply Work of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) 2.2 Lakhs of bricks

The best I can explain: No. of bricks for flat soling = 1000*4.00 *55 = 220,000 nos. = 2.2 Lakhs of bricks@55 nos. per sq m. For Traditional bricks 22.9*11.4*7.6(9”*4 1/2”*3”).
