how many concrete blocks will i need to build shed?

Question

10ft x 15ft x 8ft high

Answer 1

Technical Specifications of Concrete Blocks

Parameter Description
Typical size 300length x 200width x 150depth mm [depth here does not matter in this problem/solution]
Average compressive strength at 28 days 50-110 kg/sq.cm
Mix Proportion 1:12-14 (1 part cement : 12-14 parts sum graded aggregates)
Water absorption in 24 hours Less than 10% by weight of block

2 walls 10' x 8' = 160 sq ft
2 walls 15' x 8 ' = 240 sq ft
--------------

400 sq ft

If one block 300mm x 200mm = 60,000sq mm = 0.6458346250025834 sq ft

400 sq ft[total area of the two side walls plus the front and rear walls]/ 0.6458346250025834 sq ft[area of each face of one block] = 619.36 blocks or roughly 620 blocks.

Answer 2

What size are the blocks? How many windows do you want?
Do you want a normal sized door?

Work out the area of each wall to be made up of blocks, divide this by the area of each concrete block, allowing for corners etc.
