In the long wall-short wall method of computing masonry wall quantities, the walls measured at full length are:
Choose the correct answer
Always the walls running North-South
The longer walls (long walls run full length; short walls run between the long walls and are measured minus the wall thickness at each end)
All walls at half length
The shorter walls
Correct Answer
B. The longer walls (long walls run full length; short walls run between the long walls and are measured minus the wall thickness at each end)

Long wall-short wall method: long walls measured at full length including corners; short walls measured between long walls (deduct wall thickness from both ends). Total quantity of masonry = sum of long wall lengths x height x thickness + sum of short wall lengths x height x thickness. Gives same result as centre-line method.
