BLOCKS REQUIRED (LENGTH AND HEIGHT)
Example: A project requires you to build a retainer wall along a street corner, using standard size
blocks of 8 Inch x 16 Inch size. (Default block size assumes block area size of 128 Square Inches).
The long side of the retaining wall is 24 Feet, and the shorter side is 10 Feet 6 Inches. The client
wants the wall to be built 5 Feet high. In order to build the wall, how many blocks do you need,
including extra material, assuming a 2% allowance for waste?
