When laying modular brick soldiers, how many soldiers will equal the length of a block?

To determine how many modular brick soldiers are equal to the length of a block, it's important to understand the standard dimensions. A modular brick typically measures 3 inches in height, 7.5 inches in length, and 2.25 inches in width.

In contrast, a standard concrete block, often referred to as an 8-inch block, typically measures 7.625 inches in length. This measurement is important because it allows for the calculation of how many modular bricks can fit within that length.

When you lay soldiers, which are modular bricks oriented on their end, you would be looking at the length dimension predominantly. To find out how many bricks (soldiers) fit into one standard block length of 7.625 inches:

• Calculate the length that a soldier brick covers. Since a soldier is positioned with the 7.5-inch side showing when laid on their end, the total number of soldiers required to match the length of a block is roughly calculated as follows:

7.625 inches (length of block) divided by 7.5 inches (length of soldier) gives approximately 1.0167.

However, since you are dealing with modular bricks and the additional considerations of mortar joints can affect the total actual length
