SECTION CHB
CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS

CHB 101 APPLICATION AND PROVISION OF THIS DIVISION

101.1 Provision of this section, shall apply in particular to Concrete Hollow Bocks
Works. Concrete hollow block work for structure and it immediate environs, as called for by plans and
Specifications, involves a number of phases of work

101.2 Except where otherwise definitely specified, furnish and install concrete hollow blocks
as shown on plans, and as herein amplified in detail.

102.5 Concrete Hollow Blocks

For walls and partition shown on the drawing requiring concrete hollow block, the load
bearing CHB shall have a minimum compressive of 1000 lbs. per sq. inch computed from the average of
five units based on the average gross area; and a minimum of 800 lbs per sq. inch for individual unit. For Non-
bearing, 350 lbs. per sq. inch for 5 units, and 350 lbs per sq. inch for individual unit.

SECTION MW
