Module 3 (Part 1)

This document discusses masonry works including concrete hollow blocks (CHB), estimating methods, mortar, and plastering. It provides two methods for estimating masonry - fundamental and area. It also details volume, area, and hundred block methods for estimating mortar and cement/sand needs. Finally, it discusses plastering and provides volume and area methods for estimating plaster requirements.

MASONRY WORKS

• Concrete hollow block, popularly known as


CHB.

Two (2) Classes of CHB

Load Bearing (used to Non Load Bearing


carry load aside from (walls, partitions and
its weight) dividers)
Estimating Masonry Work
• Masonry works can be estimated by either of
the following two (2) methods;

Estimate by;

FUNDAMENTAL
Divide length and width x results.

AREA
Multiply area by Number of pieces per area
Sample Problem
• Concrete hollow block
wall with a dimension
of 3.0 meters high and
4.0 meters long.
• Compute the quantity
of 0.10 x 0.20 x 0.40
CHB, Cement , Sand
and Gravel needed to
construct the wall.
Solutions
Masonry Estimates
A. Fundamental Method
1. Divide height by the 3. Multiply results of
height of one CHB. Step 1 and 2.

2. Divide the Length by the


Length of one CHB.
B. Area Method
• No. of CHB / sq.m. Step 1:
=12.5 pcs. • Find the wall area

Step 2:
Multiply wall area x No.
of CHB / sq.m.
MORTAR

Volume Method
• Adopting 12 mm (1/2”) Step 1:
uniform thickness, Find the volume per layer.
determine the mortar V = .012 x .10 x 4.00 m
volume.
= .0048 cu. m.
• Formula:
Step 2:
V = Thickness x CHB
Find the total number of
width x Length. layers.
TL = 3.00 wall ht. / .20 m
CHB ht.
= 15 Layers
Continue Volume Method
Step 3:
V = 15 layers x .0048
= .072 cu.m.
Step 4:
Find Volume of Four (4)

Continue Volume Method
Step 5: Refer to Table 4, using

for the 150 CHB Blocks. Cement: =0.522 x 12.0
V = 150 x .003 cu. m. = 6.264 bags.
= 0.45 cu. m. Sand : = 0.552 x 1.0
Add Total Volume: = 0.522 cu.m.
Step 3 + Step 5.
V = 0.072 + 0.45 cu. m.
= 0.522 cu. m.
Area Method
Step 1: Cement : = 12.0 x 0.522
Find the Wall Area. = 6.26 bags
Area = 3.0 x 4.0 = 12 sm. Sand: = 12.0 x 0.0435
Step 2: = 0.522 cu.m.
Refer to Table 5: Along
0.10 x 0.20 x 0.40 CHB
under Class B mixture.
Hundred Block Method
Step 1: Cement:
• Use the 150 pcs CHB = 1.5 x 4.176
Step 2: = 6.26 bags
• Convert to unit of 100: Sand:
= 150/100 = 1.5 units = 1.5 x 0.348
Step 3: Refer to Table 6: = 0.522 cu.m.

PLASTERING
• After mortar block
laying, plastering is the
next item to consider.
Two (2) Methods:

b. Area
Volume Method

Find the two (2) sides of the = 0.384 cu.m.
wall area. Step 3:
WA = 3.00 x 4.00 x 2 sides Solve for Cement & Sand.
= 24 sq. m. Refer to Table 4, use 40kg
Step 2: cement, Class B mix.
Solve plaster volume: Cement: = 0.384 x 12
Assume average plaster = 4.6 say 5 bags
thickness of 16mm(0.016) Sand: = 0.384 x 1.0
= 0.384 cu.m.
Area Method
Step 1: Cement:
Find the two (2) sides of = 24 x 0.192
the wall area. = 4.6 say 5 bags
WA = 3.0 X 4.0 X 2 sides Sand:
= 24 sq.m. = 24 x 0.016
Step 2: = 0.384 cu.m.
Solve for the Cement &
Sand. Refer to Table 7,
