A. Solving for CHB
. 1. Find the Perimeter of the hollow block ,fence.
P = 3 ( 25.00 ) + 4( 5.00 )
P = 95.00 meters.
2. Subtract the length occupied by the posts.
Length = .20 width x 20 posts (see' figure)
L = 4.00 meters
MASONRY
3. Find the net length of CHB wall
L = 95.00 - 4.00 = 91.00 m.
4. Find the net area of the CHB wall fence.
Area = 91.00 x 2.5 m. ht. = 228 sq. m.
5. Find the number of 10 cm. CHB. Refer to Table 2-2,
multiply:
228 x 12.5 = 2,850 pieces
B. Cement Mortar for Block Laying
1. Find the cement and sand for block laying. Refer to
Table 2-2. Using class "B" mixture, multiply:
2. Cement: 228 x .522 = 119 bag
Sand : 228 x .0435 = 9.92 say 10 cu. m .
C. Cement Mortar fot Plastering
1. If two sides of the wall will be plastered, then:
Area = 95.00 m. x 2.00 m. ht. x 2 sides
A = 380 sq. m. ( including the posts)
Take note that the height of the wall is only 2.00 meters because
we do not plaster the wall below the ground line.
2. For plastering, refer to Table 2-4 .� Using 16 mm thick
plaster class "B" mixture; multiply:
Cement: 380 x .192 = 73 bags
Sand: 380 x (.016 = 6.1 cu. m.
D. Solving for Concrete Post and Footing
1. Materials for ~B footing. The net length of the CHB
