In the construction industry, accuracy is paramount. Whether you're a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, knowing how to determine the number of bricks in one bag of cement can save you time, money, and headaches.

Understanding the Basics

Before we dive into the specifics, let's establish some foundational knowledge. Bricks and cement are two essential components in many construction projects, particularly in masonry work. Bricks come in various sizes and shapes, while cement serves as the binding agent that holds them together.

Factors Affecting Calculation

Several factors influence the number of bricks in one bag of cement. These include:

Brick Size and Type : Bricks come in standard sizes such as modular, queen, and king, each with its own dimensions. Additionally, the type of brick-whether clay brick, concrete brick, or another material-can impact its density and weight.

Cement Mix Ratio: The mix ratio of cement to other materials, such as sand and aggregate, varies depending on the specific application. Different mix ratios result in different strengths and characteristics of the concrete.

Mortar Thickness: The thickness of the mortar joints between bricks affects how many bricks can fit in a given area. Thicker joints require more mortar and consequently fewer bricks per bag of cement.

lmaoooo maffhew wanting the knot immediately and having to wait for sasha to catch up with that is so deeply funny like. this omega is not subtle and you’re not a stupid alpha babe! can only imagine what benny has to say to maffhew about it once he catches on and stops banging his head against a wall

idiots to lovers is always great but especially when its two people who would be hitched with 10 kids by now if they stopped being dumb for a single second like its that easy and yet...

to me they very much fall around the same time (infatuation at first scent if you will) just that sasha takes some time to get there not because he's dumb (okay he's a little dumb) but in the sense that its like "this person is very interested in me, i can see and recognise that but theres so much cognitive dissonance in my brain right now between knowing that intrinsically and finding that hard to believe so i unintentionally play dumb because obviously i'm reading too much into things it cant be me they're interested in haha that'd crazy but they're being awfully touchy and flirty with me wow"

but also it takes two to tango and we have to acknowledge that and this is when i would love to bring up the ways in which this man decides is the best way to go about that because he is a catholic school girlie... there's so much hilarity to be had here especially because his flirting is very uh how you say... a little ass backwards if you will especially considering dynamics

"I make it a point to keep the door closed when we're alone in a room together! That's basically a clear invitation that I'm down to fuck!!! Im basically asking to be ragdolled on his knot!!!"

and Benny just pinches the bridge of his nose like "I don't know how to explain to you in a way you'll understand that not everyone went to Catholic school."

But saying that Sasha does side-eye the door knob heavily when Maffhew goes over to close it the first time and he starts sweating like he just got dragged into a game of 7 Minutes in Heaven he did not sign up for and he's 13 again and oh god he got paired with a really cute girl, and he hasn't even had his first real kiss yet and-

And then absolutely nothing happens because Maffhew is just waiting with a polite expectant smile (because his work here is done, he did the heavy lifting know it's Sasha's turn) and this is when Sasha's dynamic classes training kicks in and he basically scolds himself for even assuming in the first place because this is clearly a show of trust (correct) not an invitation for extra circular activities (incorrect buzzer noise) and it basically becomes "This Omega really trusts me, I'm honoured especially as Pack Leader that I'm able to be so accepted into such a private space with the inherent knowledge that I will not encroach their boundaries whatsoever because consent is verbal, this is not in any way an invitation to take advantage of them this is deep platonic trust I will guard with my life :]"

and if you listen closely you can hear the lovely sounds of Maffhew bashing his head into a wall about how much of a gentleman Sasha is but also COME ONNNNNN... you know... once Maffhew realises what's happening which (looks at my watch) is not due for another few months really

Battle of wills: unstoppable force (maffhews catholic school understanding of dynamic interactions) vs immovable object (overseas alpha cotillion classes)

And if you think it's an Oh! An overseas dynamic thing! It's not. The Euros are watching the horrible car crash in front of them and doing absolutely nothing about it because it's none of their business, but they will stare at it... maybe judge it a bit but definitely are observing from the tall grass.

and I'm also not saying that luosty lundy forsy and bobby have a current running bet of how long it'll take for maffhew to break sasha in but i'm also not not saying that... luosty goaded lundy in the midst of a gossip session ("It has to be 3 months, right?) forsy happened to be around so lundy turned to him for advice ("7 months.") and maybeeee bobby overheard from all the way over from his stall and puts in his two cents for what it's worth ("6. Captain nice but not that nice. Very impatient." "So 3!" "No. Impatience makes him double the time, and wait longer. 6 months.") (lundy finally settles on a good 5 months because he's indecisive)

And Sasha does eventually pick up everything maffhew is throwing down... eventually... and when he does it becomes more so I want to court this omega the way they deserve I will take this slow and romance them sweetly :) *smash cut to maffhew caterwauling like a cat in heat*

but also once again its not like maffhew is helping sasha in any way this is idiot4idiot and benny would like to enjoy the car crash with the euros but unfortunately that's his soulmate, thats his bestie, his littermate from birth who has been weaned on the same teat as they climbed over each other to get to it, the first girl you kissed in your childhood bedroom because somehow you started play fighting on the bed because she was like i could totally pin you down easy and then she does and you always noticed how beautiful she was but shes even more gorgeous when she's pinning your wrists to your hannnah montana duvet you promised yourself youd changed out before she came over but you forget and well she teased you about it and you cant help but giggle about how perfect this all is and it seems that the natural conclusion to this is to taste the strawberry lipgloss of her lips because whats a kiss between besties huh its tacky and sticky and it tastes like summer and just other apt metaphors to put here about the inherent -isms of their relationship that i nearly cant put to words properly other than girls having fun (they are fucking)

and well anyways benny is watching and he has a lot of things to say about how its been proceeding so far

"You should really use your words."

"I am!"

"Right because smelling like a fucking perfume shop in the middle of October is using your words."

"This usually works with most Alphas okay!"

"Sasha isn't most Alphas."

"Tell me about it." Matthew grouses before he peeks over to Sam, looking up from beneath his eyelashes—the exact way he knows both endears him to Sam but also absolutely miffs him all the same, "Worked on you, didn't it?"

"Oh, is that what we're doing right now? We're calling getting a lapful of a preening O in preheat in the middle of a roadie a normal way to go about these things."

"It worked didn't it?" Matthew reiterates.

"It would work better if you use—"

"Okay! Alright!! I get it!!!" He does not.

like benny here is unfortunately an active listening participant in the going ons of the fuckery if not because hes involved by proxy because of maffhew because who else will hold his hair back as he calls him a dumb bitch you know

What's your favorite jaydick headcanons 👉👈

As someone who is constantly burdened with 742383133 headcanons at any given second, there are honestly way too many for me to list down and sometimes they're also circumstantial

But if there's one (1) constant headcanon that I'll take to my grave, it's the following

bro i'm actually fuckin crying

i was having anxiety the entire night over more random people from the other blog pulling up in my inbox and harassing me over shit i've already explained, but i woke up to like 4 messages and all rather wholesome and aren't accusing me

the fact that i haven't cried a single fuckin time the past 1-2 weeks of me knowing about this bullshit and just bottled it all up- and it just all comes all crashing the fuck down after seeing the sudden overwhelming support of people that actually read and understand context

it's literally only 6am here and i'm bawling my eyes out

i love every single one of you who isn't blindly jumping in on the fuckin hate train i wasn't even supposed to know about :'D

will be responding to them once i'm back in my room after school! fghfndghdfg already read through them tho, but i gotta go in a bit and can't type it all out hgfdgnfdhgnhdfg

Bridges are essential infrastructural elements that facilitate transportation and connect communities. They are designed to be strong, durable, and capable of withstanding various loads and stresses. However, under certain circumstances, bridges can collapse, leading to devastating consequences.

Introduction

Bridges are complex structures that must withstand a variety of forces, including the weight of the bridge itself, live loads such as vehicles and pedestrians, and environmental factors. When any of these factors exceed the bridge's capacity, it can lead to structural failure and, in the worst-case scenario, a collapse.

Insufficient Structural Design

One of the primary causes of bridge collapse is insufficient structural design. If a bridge is not designed to handle the anticipated loads and stresses it will experience during its lifespan, it becomes vulnerable to failure. Factors such as inadequate consideration of traffic volume, improper analysis of forces, or the use of outdated design standards can compromise a bridge's structural integrity.

Material Degradation

Over time, bridges can experience material degradation due to factors such as corrosion, fatigue, and aging. Corrosion, especially in steel and reinforced concrete bridges, can weaken the structural components and compromise their load-bearing capacity. Fatigue, caused by repetitive loading and unloading cycles, can lead to cracks and fractures in the bridge elements. Aging of materials, including concrete, can result in reduced strength and increased vulnerability to external forces.

you know when certain shows a have this writing style where you know, people don't talk like this IRL, and the lines of dialogue come across as unwieldy and awkward on paper. those really weed out good actors from bad actors hdhd like you've gotta deliver that mouthful and make it work !
