CHB Reinforcement distances

CHB Reinforcement distances

CHB Reinforcement distances

(OP)

Some engineers I know use a vertical and horizontal spacing of 600mm (0.6 meter) for 10mm of reinforcement in Concrete Hollow Block (CHB) of size 6" thick. Some use distances of 400mm because 600 may not be sufficient.. what is your opinion? What is the basis for calculation of CHB reinforcement.. is there a minimum or standard written somewhere? It's not written in the ACI. How do you compute for it in your codes?
