Q:Calculate the quantity of brick work in the flight of steps shown in Figure 1.The length is 1.20 m throughout.

Answer:
Area of end view = (Top breadth+Bottom)/2 X height
                             = (0.25m+0.75m)/2 X 0.45m = 0.50m X 0.45m = 0.225 sqm
SO,Brick work needed in steps = 0.225sqm X 1.20 m = 0.27 cum.
