To measure the corresponding lengths from the center line to the long wall and the short wall. Here's what each part of the statement means:
-
Add one breadth to the long wall:
- This means you are measuring the distance from the center line to the long wall, and you add one breadth to that measurement. Essentially, you are extending the measurement by the width (or breadth) of the space.
-
Subtract one breadth from the short wall:
- Conversely, when measuring the distance from the center line to the short wall, you subtract one breadth from that measurement. This means you are reducing the measurement by the width (or breadth) of the space.
Additional Information
- In long wall and short wall method, the wall along the length of the room is considered to be long wall and the wall perpendicular to the length of the room is considered to be short wall.
- To get the measurement of materials and work, length of long wall or short wall, centre line lengths of individual walls is calculated first
- Then the length of long wall, (out to out) may be calculated
after adding half breadth at each end to its centre line length. - Thus the length of short wall is measured into in and may be found by deducting half breadth from its centre line length at each end.
- These lengths are multiplied by breadth and depth to get quantities.
The length of long wall usually decreases from earthwork to brickwork in superstructure while the short wall increases
