Imagine a single-skin solid brick wall that is 5 meters long, 2.5 meters high, and 0.1 meters thick (thickness of a standard brick).
| Wall Type | Approximate Density (kg/m³) | Approximate Density (lbs/ft³) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | 1,800 – 2,000 | 112 – 125 | | Perforated Brick Wall | 1,500 – 1,700 | 94 – 106 | | Lightweight/Thermal Brick | 800 – 1,100 | 50 – 69 | | Cavity Brick Wall (inc. air gap) | Lower effective density due to air void | N/A | brick wall density
For estimation and structural calculation purposes, the construction industry relies on standard averages. Imagine a single-skin solid brick wall that is
