3 - Module 2 Masonry Works

The document discusses masonry structures and materials. It describes two types of masonry - veneer and solid masonry. Concrete hollow blocks (CHB) are then discussed, including load bearing vs non-bearing blocks. Mortar mixtures and plastering are also outlined. An example problem is provided to calculate materials needed for a partial CHB wall based on given dimensions, including the number of CHB blocks, cement, sand, and water.

MASONRY

The word ‘masonry’ is often


thrown around, but not
always fully understood. A
masonry structure includes
anything built by fusing
together materials with help
of mortar.
2 TYPES OF MASONRY
VENEER MASONRY SOLID MASONRY
- is usually put to use for - can hold itself up and fight off
aesthetic purposes as the elements

sturdy structure. laying, brick laying, etc
- it includes tile setting,
stone wall design, etc
Concrete Hollow Blocks
Concrete Hollow Block is popularly known as CHB. It is classified
as load bearing and non-bearing blocks.
Load bearing blocks are those thickness range from 15 to 20cm and
are used to carry load aside from its own weight.
Non-bearing blocks on the other hand, are blocks intended for
walls, partitions, fences, dividers and the like carrying its own weight
whose thickness ranges from 7 to 10cm.
The standard hollow block has three
void cells and two half cells at both
ends having a total of four. These
hollow cells vary in sizes as there
are different manufacturers using
different types of mold.

plastering work.
Items to be considered in estimating cement mortar:
 The mortar to be used in between the layer of CHB.
 The mortar filler for the hollow core or cell of the
blocks.
 This filler could be pure mortar or mortar with gravel for
economy.
 Fine screened sand for plastering.
Cement Mortar for Plastering

Plastering

- “Palitada” or “Rebokada”
- a pasty composition that is
used for coating walls, ceilings,
and partitions
Rough Plaster
-mortar mixture

Fine Plaster
-grout mixture of cement and
water
CLASS MIXTURE CEMENT SAND
A 1:2 18 Bags 1.00 m³
B 1:3 12 Bags 1.00 m³
C 1:4 9 Bags 1.00 m³

4 ft³ or 4 boxes of sand


1 bag of cement
4 - Celled CHB

Thickness:

- For CHB, fill 2 block laying.
Block Laying
CHB Fill Volume
-Vol 4” = 0.003m³
-Vol 6” = 0.006m³
Block Laying
-Vol 4” = 0.0005m³
-Vol 6” = 0.0008m³
Problem
Given a partial CHB
wall, compute the
masonry materials
needed. 2.80m O.C.

Door
0.80 x 2.10m
Window
0.40 x 1.20m 4” thick CHB
Column
0.40 x 0.40m Fine Plastered Wall
Solution
Area wall = [(5.60 + 5.10)(2.80) -
Area wall = 0.80(2.10) – 0.40(1.20)]
Area wall = 27.80m²
2.80m O.C.
No. CHB = Area wall x Factor
No. CHB = 27.80m² x 12.5 pcs/m²
No. CHB = 347.5 pcs.
No. CHB ≈ 348 pcs. of CHB Window
0.40 x 1.20m 4” thick CHB
Door Fine Plastered Wall
0.80 x 2.10m
Solution
Cement Mortar
Volume of cement mortar = No. CHB x (CHB Fill + Block Laying)
Volume of cement mortar = 348 pcs. x (0.003m³ + 0.0005m³)
Volume of cement mortar = 1.218m³
Using Class B Cement Mortar Mixture
No. of Cement = 1.218m³ (12 bags)
No. of Cement = 14.616bags of cement
No. of Cement ≈15 bags of cement
Solution:
1.00m3 sand
Vol. of Sand = 1.218m³ ( m3
)
Sand = 1.218m³sand
Sand ≈ 1.50m³sand

6 gals
Vol. of Water = 15bags of cement ( bag
)
Vol. of Water = 90gals of water
Solution:
Average Thickness of Plaster = ¾”
Average Thickness of Plaster ≈ 19mm
Average Thickness of Plaster ≈ 0.019m Rough Plaster

0.20m
Vol. of Rough Plaster = 0.20(0.40)(0.019) Fine Plaster
Vol. of Rough Plaster = 0.00152m³
considering 1 face of CHB
Solution:
METHOD A:
Total vol. of Rough Plaster = No. of CHB x Vol. of Plaster x 2
Total vol. of Rough Plaster = 348pcs.(0.00152m³)(2)
Total vol. of Rough Plaster = 1.05792m³
use larger value

METHOD B:
Total vol. of Rough Plaster = Area to be plastered x Thickness of plaster x 2
Total vol. of Rough Plaster = 27.80m²(0.019m)(2)
Total vol. of Rough Plaster = 1.0564m³
Solution:
Using Class B Cement Mortar Mixture
No. of Cement = 1.05792m³ (12 bags)
No. of Cement = 12.69504 bags of cement
No. of Cement ≈ 13 bags of cement

1.00m3 sand Vol. of Water = 13bags of cement (6bag


gals
)
Vol. of Sand = 1.05792m³ ( m3
)
Vol. of Sand =1.05792m³ sand Vol. of Water = 78gals of water
Vol. of Sand ≈ 1.50m³sand
Solution:
Fine Plaster
Factor = 2kg./m² cement or 1/20 bag/m²

No. of Cement = Area to be plastered x Factor x 2


No. of Cement = 27.80m²(1/20)(2)
No. of Cement = 2.78
No. of Cement ≈ 3 bags of cement
Vol. of Water = 6 gals of water
