    This document contains a midterm examination for an engineering estimates course. It consists of 4 test problems estimating concrete, masonry block, mortar, and plaster quantities for various construction projects using volume and area methods. Test 1 involves estimating concrete components for a park pavement and residential structure. Test 2 calculates the number of concrete hollow blocks for a building firewall. Test 3 determines the mortar volume between blocks and for plastering two sides of the firewall. Test 4 reviews the concepts tested and encourages students to tackle opportunities with effort and daring.

    MIDTERM EXAMINATION
    BEM 131 – Engineering Estimates
    First Semester SY 2021-2022

    Course & Year: _________________ ID No.: ______________

    Test I: Estimating Concrete Components (Cement, Sand and Gravel)


    1. Using class B mixture of 40 kg cement, estimate the concrete components for the 4" thick park pavement as shown.

    2. Estimate the concrete materials needed to construct a small residential structure with 8-1.0m x 1.0m x 0.30m footing
    embedded 1.20m from the ground. Roof beam dimensions are 0.25m x 0.35m. Height of column (from ground to
    top of roof beam) is 3.0m. Available cement is only 40-kg bag. Before calculating volumes, determine which grades
    each member is. Let's assume that the footings, columns, and beams use class A and the slab uses class B.

    Test II: Estimating number of CHB.


    3. Determine the number of 6" thk. CHB required to construct the building firewall.

    TEST III: Estimating mortar and plastering.


    4. By continuing problem number 3 (Test II), determine the volume of mortar in between the layer of the blocks,
    adopting the 12 mm (1/2”) uniform thickness of mortar. Estimate also the cement and sand necessary to plaster two
    sides of the building firewall. Assuming that the plaster is 16 mm average thickness, determine the volume of the
    plaster. Use volume method and area method for mortar and plaster estimation. Use Class B mixture @ 40 kg
    cement.
