Sample Problem CHB

The document provides calculations for a 4-inch Concrete Hollow Block (CHB) including moisture content, water absorption, density, net volume, net sectional area, and compressive strength. The results show a moisture content of 22.60%, water absorption of 175.12 kg/m³, density of 1,815.55 kg/m³, net volume of 0.00496 m³, net area of 24,409.45 mm², and a compressive strength of 7.24 MPa. These calculations are based on specific mass measurements and dimensions of the CHB.
