Concrete hollow block reinforcement could be determined in three different ways: 1. By the Direct Counting Method 2. By the Area Method 3. By the Unit block Method Direct Counting Method Under the direct counting method, the vertical and horizontal reinforcements are individually counted in the plan. The length is also determined from the plan or elevation. The hook, bend and lapping splices are calculated and imaginarily added to its length because it is very rare to see a plan with a large scale detailed drawing showing this particular requirements of reinforcing steel bars. Thus, estimators must be familiar with the hook, bend and splicing requirements to be able to work effectively even if the plan is not accompanied with such details. In the event that estimating through the Direct Counting Method is somewhat difficult, we can use the Area Method. Area Method The Area Method is the simplest approach of computing the steel bar reinforcement for CHB.
