Non-Load Bearing Walls Quantity Calculator
Prepared By: Parag Kamlakar Pal – Owner of www.civilnotess.com
Introduction
Non-load bearing walls are essential components in construction, primarily used to divide spaces rather than support structural loads. Accurately calculating the quantity of materials needed for these walls is crucial for project planning and budgeting.
Calculator
Use the following calculator to determine the total area and volume of non-load bearing walls based on your inputs.
Total Area of Walls: square meters
Total Volume of Walls: cubic meters
Numerical Example
Let’s go through an example to illustrate how the calculations are done:
- Wall Length (L): 5 meters
- Wall Height (H): 3 meters
- Wall Thickness (T): 0.1 meters
- Number of Walls (N): 4 walls
Calculations:
1. Area of One Wall: Area_wall = L × H = 5 × 3 = 15 square meters
2. Total Area of All Walls: Total_Area_walls = Area_wall × N = 15 × 4 = 60 square meters
3. Volume of One Wall: Volume_wall = Area_wall × T = 15 × 0.1 = 1.5 cubic meters
4. Total Volume of All Walls: Total_Volume_walls = Volume_wall × N = 1.5 × 4 = 6 cubic meters
function calculate() {
// Get input values
const length = parseFloat(document.getElementById(‘length’).value);
const height = parseFloat(document.getElementById(‘height’).value);
const thickness = parseFloat(document.getElementById(‘thickness’).value);
const number = parseInt(document.getElementById(‘number’).value);
// Validate inputs
if (isNaN(length) || isNaN(height) || isNaN(thickness) || isNaN(number) || length <= 0 || height <= 0 || thickness <= 0 || number <= 0) {
alert('Please enter valid positive numbers for all fields.');
return;
}
// Perform calculations
const areaWall = length * height;
const totalAreaWalls = areaWall * number;
const volumeWall = areaWall * thickness;
const totalVolumeWalls = volumeWall * number;
// Display results
document.getElementById('totalArea').textContent = totalAreaWalls.toFixed(2);
document.getElementById('totalVolume').textContent = totalVolumeWalls.toFixed(2);
}
