The category of brick masonry equations, constants and calculators provides means to accurately estimate the number of bricks required of many common applications of brick masonry.
The Masonry-Brick category consists of brickwork made of bricks whose dimensions are specified in units running horizontally. The tying bricks in the face of a wall (called stretcher bricks) are bound together with bricks running transverse to the wall (called "header" bricks). Each row of bricks is known as a course.
vCalc's Masonry-Brick folder contains equations pertaining to brick laying in its general form.
