CONVERSION OF MEASUREMENTS
1 in = 2.54 cm
1 ft = 0.305m
1 ft = 12 in
1 m = 100 cm
1 cm = 10mm
FORMULA
AREA:
SQUARE = a2 RECTANGLE = l x w
RECTANGLE = πr2 TRIANGLE = ½ b x h
VOLUME:
TOPIC RECTANGULAR = l x w
CUBEI:=CONCRETE
a3 2
CYLINDER = πr x h
CONCRETE SLAB
SOLUTION:
DETERMINE THE VOLUME
OF THE CONCRETE
VOLUME=THICKNESS X WIDTH X LENGTH
V=0.10M X 4.00M X 6.00M
V=2.4 cu.m
WALL
SOLUTION:
DETERMINE THE VOLUME OF THE CONCRETE
VOLUME=THICKNESS X WIDTH X LENGTH
V=0.15M X 1.20M X 1.50M
V=0.27 cu.m
SOLUTION:
DETERMINE THE VOLUME OF THE CONCRETE
VOLUME=THICKNESS X WIDTH X LENGTH
V1=0.25M X 0.90M X 0.90M
V1=0.2025 cu.m
V2=0.30M X 0.30M X 0.60M
V2=0.054 cu.m
VTOTAL =V1+V2
VTOTAL =0.2025 cu.m+0.054 cu.m
VTOTAL =0.2565cu.m
FORMULA
1 m2 = 12.5 pieces of CHB
WALL
SOLUTION:
DETERMINE THE AREA OF THE WALL
AREA= LENGTH X WIDTH
A=3.00M X 2.70M
A=8.10 m2
MULTIPLY
8.10 m2 x 12.5pcs = 101.25~102 pieces
SOLUTION:
DETERMINE THE VOLUME OF MORTAR IN BETWEEN
THE LAYER OF THE BLOCKS, ADOPTING THE 12MM ½”
OR 0.012M UNIFORM THICKNESS OF THE MORTAR.
VOLUME=THICKNESS X WIDTH OF CHB X LENGTH
V=0.012M X 0.10M X 3.00M
V=0.0036 cu.m
1 layer only
SIMPLIFIED FORMULA:
SITUATION:
10 X 20 X 40CM CHB
VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT SPACED @ 80CM
HORIZONTAL REINFORCEMENT @ EVERY 3 LAYERS
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
CONVERT THIS VALUE TO THE COMM’L LENGTH OF STEEL BAR, SAY 6.00 METERS LONG, DIVIDE:
45.00 m / 6.00M = 7.5 ORDER 8 PCS. 10MM Ø X 6.0M LONG
TIE WIRE FOR CHB REINFORCEMENT
SITUATION:
VERTICAL BARS SPACED @80CM AND 1 HOR.BARS @ EVERY AFTER 3 LAYERS OF THE
BLOCK.
TIE WIRE IN KG.
ALONG 80CM. VERTICAL SPACING AND 3 LAYERS HOR. SPACING OF REINFORCEMENT @ 30CM
LONG TIE WIRE, MULITPLY:
12 sq. m X 0.24 = 0.29kgs. #16-G.I. WIRE
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
HOW MANY BOARD FEET ARE THERE IN 30 PCS. OF LUMBER, EACH MEASURING 2” X
8” X 14’?
FLOOR JOIST AND WOOD FLOORING
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
DETERMINE THE LENGTH OF THE GIRDER. DIVIDE BY THE SPACING OF THE FLOOR JOISTS.
Spacing of Joist – 0.30 M
5.00M / 0.30M = 16.6 (SPACING OF JOISTS)
ADD 1 TO THE SPACING OF JOIST TO GET THE EXACT NUMBER OF FLOOR JOIST.
16.6 + 1=17.6 SAY 18 PIECES.
CONVERT:
3.50 M TO FT=12FT
CEILING BOARD
SOLUTION:
DETERMINE THE SIZE OF PLYWOOD,
GYPSUM BOARD, FICEM BOARD.
Size: 4ft x 8ft
ROOFING
SOLUTION:
FIND THE NUMBER OF CORRUGATED G.I. ROOF SHEETS AND ITS ACCESSORIES REQUIRED IF
THE SIDE LAPPING SPECIFY 1 ½ CORRUGATIONS WITH 30CM. ENG LAPPING ON A 2”X3”
PURLINS.
SOLUTION:
DIVIDE THE LENGTH OF THE GUTTER BY THE EFFECTIVE WIDTH COVERING OF ONE SHEET.
14.00M /0.70M= 20 SHEETS IN ONE ROW
THE LENGTH OF THE RAFTERIS 6.00METERS, A COMBINATION OF 3.60 AND 2.70M LONG G.I. SHEET
OR 12FT AND 9FT.
ORDER:
20-32”X12’ CORRUGATED G.I. SHEET
20-32”X9’ CORRUGATED G.I. SHEET
RIVETS
SOLUTION:
RIVETS, FOR A 12’ AND 9’ LONG ROOF SHEET, MULTIPLY:
12’ LONG: 20X26=520 PCS
9’ LONG: 20X22=440 PCS
TOTAL RIVETS…..960 PIECES
CONVERT TO KG.
DIVIDE USING THE TABLE 6-3:
960/180=5.3 KG SAY 5.5 KG
WASHERS
SOLUTION:
FOR WASHERS, DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF RIVETS.
960 X 2 = 1920 PIECES
CONVERT TO KG.
DIVIDE USING THE TABLE 6-3:
1920/126= 15.23 KG SAY 15.5 KG
LEAD WASHERS
SOLUTION:
FOR LEAD WASHERS, THE NO. OF RIVETS IS THE
SAME AS THE LEAD WASHERS
960 PIECES
CONVERT TO KG.
DIVIDE USING THE TABLE 6-3:
960/75=12.8 say 13kg
SUMMARY:
CORRUGATED G.I. SHEET = GUTTER / EFFECTIVE LENGTH
G.I. RIVETS = LEAD WASHERS
G.I. WASHER = RIVETS X 2
G.I. STRAP = RIVETS / MULTIPLIER
TOPIC VI: TILEWORK
CERAMIC TILE IS ONE OF THE MAN’S OLDEST UNIQUE BLDG. MATERIALS CONTINUOUSLY
IN USE.
Cement mortar
WALL TILES
SOLUTION:
SOLVE FOR THE WALL AREA
3.00 X 3.60= 10.80 sq.m
3.00 X 7.20= 21.60 sq.m
Total= 32.40 sq.m
SOLVE FOR THE AREA OF ONE TILE
0.10X0.20 = 0.02 sq.m
DIVIDE THE WALL AREA BY THE AREA OF ONE TILE
32.40/0.02 = 1620 Pcs. 10x20 glazed tiles
FLOOR TILES
SOLUTION:
SOLVE FOR THE FLOOR AREA
7.20X 3.60= 25.92 sq.m
SOLVE FOR THE AREA OF ONE TILE
0.20X0.20 = 0.04 sq.m

CEMENT MORTAR
SOLUTION:
SOLVE FOR CEMENT MORTAR
FIND THE TOTAL AREA OF THE WALL AND FLOOR
25.92 + 32.40 = 58.32 sq.m
REFER TO TABLE 7-1, ALONG CEMENT MORTAR, MULTIPLY:
CEMENT MORTAR:
58.32 X 0.086 = 5.01552 say 6 BAGS
WHITE CEMENT FILLER
SOLUTION:
SOLVE FOR CEMENT MORTAR
FIND THE TOTAL AREA OF THE WALL AND FLOOR
25.92 + 32.40 = 58.32 sq.m
REFER TO TABLE 7-1, ALONG WHITE CEMENT FILLER, MULTIPLY:
WHITE CEMENT FILLER:
58.32 X 0.50 = 29.16 say 30 kg
TOPIC VII: PAINTING
PAINT COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A SURFACE COATING.
-TO DECORATE, TO PROTECT, OR TO PERFORM SOME OTHER SPECIALIZED FUNCTIONS.
GIVEN:
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
A concrete firewall measures 30 meters long and 12 meters high. Determine the number of gallons
(4liters content) required using Acrylic gloss latex paint if the wall is: Coarse to Rough Surface
SOLUTION:
360 sq. m divided by 30 sq.m. area coverage per gallon of neutralizer and water solution:
360/30=12 gallons
Solve for the acrylic gloss latex paint for final coating
360/30=12 gallons
