This document provides an example of calculating quantities of work using the long wall and short wall method. It includes calculating the center to center distances of long and short walls. It then calculates the quantities of excavation, PCC, UCR work with two different brick widths, brick work, and plastering work by determining the lengths of long and short walls based on center to center distances and wall widths. Quantities are provided in a measurement sheet for each work item.

Example:
Find out quantities of following items of work
i. Excavation ii. PCC iii. UCR work iii. Brick Work iv. Plastering work
Step 1: To calculate center to center distance between walls
C/C Long wall =3+4 +0.3+ 0.15 + 0.15 = 7.6 m
C/C Short wall = 3 + 0.15 + 0.15 = 3.3 m

i. Excavation (B-1.2m)
Length of long wall= c/c distance + ½ width of each sides
Length of long wall= 7.6 + ½ x 1.2 + ½ x 1.2 =8.8 m
Length of short wall= c/c distance - ½ width of each sides
Length of short wall= 3.3 - ½ x 1.2 - ½ x 1.2 =2.1 m

ii. PCC (B-1.2m)
Length of long wall= c/c distance + ½ width of each sides
Length of long wall= 7.6 + ½ x 1.2 + ½ x 1.2 =8.8 m
Length of short wall= c/c distance - ½ width of each sides
Length of short wall= 3.3 - ½ x 1.2 - ½ x 1.2 =2.1 m
M3 2 8.8 1.2 0.2 4.224 5.8
M3 3 2.1 1.2 0.2 1.512
iii. UCR (B-0.9 m)
Length of long wall= c/c distance + ½ width of each sides
Length of long wall= 7.6 + ½ x 0.9 + ½ x 0.9 =8.5 m
Length of short wall= c/c distance - ½ width of each sides
Length of short wall= 3.3 - ½ x 0.9 - ½ x 0.9 =2.4 m
M3 2 8.5 0.9 0.5 7.65 10.89
M3 3 2.4 0.9 0.5 3.24
iv. UCR (B-0.5 m)
Length of long wall= c/c distance + ½ width of each sides
Length of long wall= 7.6 + ½ x 0.5 + ½ x 0.5 =8.1 m
Length of short wall= c/c distance - ½ width of each sides
Length of short wall= 3.3 - ½ x 0.5 - ½ x 0.5 =2.8 m
M3 2 8.1 0.5 0.5 4.05 6.2
M3 3 2.8 0.5 0.5 2.1
v. Brick Work (B-0.3m)
Length of long wall= c/c distance + ½ width of each sides
Length of long wall= 7.6 + ½ x 0.3 + ½ x 0.3 =7.9 m
Length of short wall= c/c distance - ½ width of each sides
Length of short wall= 3.3 - ½ x 0.3 - ½ x 0.3 =3.0 m
