How do you calculate cement sand and gravel for CHB laying?
Based on the specified kind of mixture and CHB thickness, multiply your area with the corresponding values from the mortar proportion table:
- Quantity of Cement Bags = Area * Cement multiplier for a Class “B” mix. = 6m2 * 0.522.
- = 3.132 bags ~ 4 bags.
- Quantity of Sand = Area * Sand multiplier for a Class “B” mix.
- = 0.261 m3
What is a brief description of CHB?
Concrete Hollow Blocks (CHB): Concrete Hollow Blocks (CHB), are one of the most extensively used walling materials in the Philippines. Some of the reasons for this is their relative low cost when compared to other materials and speed of installation by semi-skilled labourers.
How many days is the curing period of CHB?
Basic purpose to cure 28 days is there to obtain compressive strength 99%.
How many bags of cement do I need to lay 100 blocks?
the number of bags of cement (40 kgs.) needed to lay 100 blocks is between 4 to 6 depending on the size of your blocks.
How much sand and cement do I need for hollow blocks?
The mixing ratio is 1 part cement and 5 parts sand, and if the plaster is too harsh, 0.5 to 1 part of lime can be added.
What is the size of CHB?
CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS (CHB) Dimensions of concrete hollow blocks are standardized at 16 inches length by 8 inches height (0.40m x 0.20m). The only dimension which varies is the thickness. CHB thicknesses range from 4 inches to 8 inches.
What is load bearing CHB?
Load bearing CHB – is a wall that bears a load resting upon it by conducting its weight to a foundation structure. Unlike non-load bearing chb, it is also a main support of the structure same with the columns and beams. Normal CHB has a strength capacity of 350psi, while. Load bearing CHB can carry 750psi of strength.
What are the types of curing?

- Hot mixing method.
- Electrical curing.
What is ponding method of curing?
Ponding is the most common and inexpensive method of curing a flat surface like slab or road pavements. Small shallow ponds are prepared on the top of the surface using clayey soil or cement mortar. Water is filled and stored up to a depth of 50mm for required period (usually 28 days).
