LESSON 1
Materials Used in Masonry

Concrete Building Materials includes the following:
1. Concrete Hollow Blocks (CHB) Concrete hollow blocks are the most widely used
masonry materials for all types of construction such as walls, partition and fences.
Concrete blocks are building modules resembling large bricks moulded from concrete
(see fig.1). Commercial sizes of CHB are as follows:
4” x 8” x 16”,
5” x 8” x 16”, and
6” x 8” x 16”,
2. Bricks are manufactured from clay and other minerals processed into a workable
consistency, moulded to sizes and fined in kiln for stronger, more attractive products
(fig.1)
Kinds of Bricks
a. Common Bricks are bricks made from clay such as the ordinary commercial bricks.
b. Face Bricks are bricks made from clay materials used on exposed exterior and interior
masonry walls and other architectural application where the size, colour and texture are
especially important.
c. Calcium Silicate Bricks are bricks made from clay or non-clay materials used in
furnace construction where resistance to temperature as high as 178o C is required.
3. Cement
Cement is a combination of calcium silicate and aluminate. The most extensively used for
common masonry works is the Portland cement. It is a very strong material used for small
and large construction, including roads and highways.
4
Different types of Cement Used in Construction

a. The ordinary Portland cement
b. The rapid hardening Portland cement which is preferred when high early strength is
desired
c. The blast furnace or sulphate cement which is used on structures designed to resist
chemical attracts
d. The Portland pozzolan cement with a low hardening characteristic concrete
e. The low heat Portland cement used for massive section designed to reduce the heat of
hydration
f. The high alumina cements also called aluminous cement or cement fundu having
predominant alumina oxide of at least 32% by weight.
Types of Cement
a. TYPE I – a normal cement which is commonly used for general construction
b. TYPE IA – this is a normal air entraining cement
c. TYPE II – a modified cement for use in concrete in contact with soil or water
containing sulphates
d. TYPE IIA - this is a moderate sulphate resistant and air entraining cement
e. TYPE III – a high early strength cement
f. TYPE IIIA – high early strength air entraining cement
g. TYPE IV – low heat of hydration cement, developed for use in massive structures
such as dams
h. TYPE V – a special high sulphate resistant cement for use in structures exposed to
fluids containing sulphates such as sea water.
4. Angular and Round Aggregates

These are inert materials such as sand and gravel. There are fine and coarse
aggregates. Aggregates smaller than 10 millimetre in diameter are classified as fine,
while aggregates bigger than 10 millimetres in diameter are coarse.
5. Water
Water intended for mixing should be clean and free from oil, acid. Alkali, salts or other
organic materials.

LESSON 2
Masonry Anchors, Ties and Reinforcements

Steel Reinforcement is the most widely used reinforcing material in most
constructions. It is an excellent partner of concrete in resisting both tension and
compression stresses. Comparatively, steel is ten times stronger than concrete in resisting
compression load hundred times stronger in tensile stresses.
Types of Reinforcement
a) Square or round bars – Plain
b) Deformed bars – Uneven surface
Identification of Steel Bar

Distinguishing the different shapes and sizes of bar is a problem. One might
accidentally use a lower strength or smaller size of steel bars from what is being required.
All deformed bars are provided with descriptive marking, identifying the manufacturer
usually by an initial and the bar size number from 3 to18 including the type of steel such
as;
 N – for billet
 A – for axis
 Rail sign- for rail steel
Additional marking for identifying high strength steel bars:

Table of Standard Weight
Tie Wire for Steel Reinforcement

Tie wire refers to gauge no.16 galvanized iron wire popularly called G.I. tie wire.
Tie wire is used to secure the steel bars in its designed position before accepting fresh
concrete.
Ordering tie wire is not by foot or meter or on its desired length but by kilogram
or roll. One roll is equivalent to 40 to 45 kilograms or approximately 2,285 meters at 53
meters per kilogram.
The length of each tie wire depends upon the size of the bars to be tied on. The
most common size of steel reinforcement specified for concrete hollow blocks is either
10 mm, 12 mm depending on the plan and specification. However, tie wire is cut into
length ranging from 20 to 40 centimetres; long folded at the center is accepted.

15
Here are what Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires for
specific types of PPE.
16
A. Eye and Face Protection

Safety glasses or face shields are worn any time work operations can cause
foreign objects to get in the eye. For example, during welding, cutting, grinding, nailing
or when working with concrete and/or harmful chemicals or when exposed to flying
particles, or any electrical hazards, including working on energized electrical systems.
Eye and face protectors are selected based on anticipated hazards.
B. Head Protection
Hard Hat is a light weight protective helmet made of
plastic or metal worn by construction workers.
Wear hard hats where there is a potential for objects
falling from above, bumps to the head from fixed objects, or of
accidental head contact with electrical hazards.
Routinely inspect them for dents, cracks or
deterioration; replace after a heavy blow or electrical shock;
maintain in good condition.
C. Hand Protection
17
Gloves are required to protect workers from cuts,

scrapes, punctures, burns, chemical absorption, or
extreme temperatures.
Gloves should fit snugly. Workers should wear

the right gloves for the job (examples: heavy-duty
rubber gloves for concrete work; welding gloves for
welding; insulated gloves and sleeves when exposed to
electrical hazards).
D. Hearing Protection
Earplugs/earmuffs are plugs of cotton or rubber
that is fitted to the air canal for protection against the entry

Storage of Construction Materials

LIMITATIONS:
 Space limitations may preclude indoor storage.
 Storage sheds often must meet building and fine code requirements
IMPLEMENTATION:
THE following steps should be taken to minimize risk:
 Temporary storage should be located away from vehicular traffic.
 Construction site area should be designated for material storage.
 Material storage areas should be located near the construction entrances, away from
waterways. If possible.
 Hazardous material storage onsite should be minimized
 Do not store chemicals, drums on bagged materials directly on the ground. Place these
items on a pallet and when possible, in secondary containment.
MATERIAL STORAGE AREAS AND PRACTICE AND PRACTICES:

 Keep an accurate up-to-date inventory of materials delivered and stored onsite
 Bagged and boxed materials should be stored on pallets and should no be allowed to
accumulate on the ground.
 Stockpile should be protected
 Materials should be stored indoors within existing structures on shed when available.
 Proper storage instructions should be posted at all times in an open and conspicuous
location.
MAINTENANCE:
 KEEP an ample supply of spill cleanup materials near the storage area
 Keep storage areas clean, well organized and equipped with ample clean up supplies as
appropriate for the materials being stored.
 Repair or replace perimeter control, containment, structures, covers and linens as needed
to maintain proper function.

LESSON 5
Mixing Proportion of Concrete Mortar
Composition of Aggregates
The reason for mixing the right proportion of fine and coarse aggregates is to
create a solid mass through which the cement paste enters the void of the fine aggregates
and fills the void of the coarse aggregate in turn.
The aggregate proportion consists of sand which is always one half of the volume
of gravel. For example 1:2:4 means 1 bag of cement, 2 parts of sand, and 4 parts of gravel
is the mixture of class A concrete.
Table 1
The table show below shows various concrete proportions:
Class of mixing Cement at 40 kg Sand in cu. Ft. Gravel in cu. Ft.
AA 1 1½ 3
A 1 2 4
B 1 2½ 5
C 1 3 6

C 1 4
D 1 5
MIXING CONCRETE
The mixture of the different aggregate of concrete comes in two forms. The site-
job mix and the read-1 mixed concrete.
A. SITE-JOB MIX
This is done continuously until the aggregate is evenly distributed. The aggregates
mixing are done right on the job site.
B. READY MIX CONCRETE
This is most preferred because the proportion of the aggregate is automatically

controlled. Thus, producing accurate proportions of the aggregates.
Take note: MORTAR is only a mixture of sand, cement and water. Gravel is not included
