Hey Chris.
I just found this on your site about the detonation sequence.
So let's see. 6" diameter rebar with a 4" thick coating of C4 on it. That makes that combination a 14" diameter hole in the concrete. That gives us 127 square inches of C4. Let's multiply that times 12' for one floor for one piece of rebar.
That gives us 18288 cubic inches of C4 or 10.5 cubic feet. For one, 10 foot long, 6" diamater piece of your rebar.
Now you said that this rebar was set at 4' centers. Let's assume one row of rebar in your 12' long axis wall and 2 rows of rebar in your 17' thick short axis wall.
That gives us about 156, 6" diameter, 10 foot long pieces of rebar for a grand total of 1638 cubic feet of C4. For just one floor.
1.25 pounds of C4 comes in a block, 1"x1.5"x11". That's 33 cubic inches.
You've just effectively put 693 pounds of C4 in one floor.

Christophera said:...into the cast concrete pour are opened and 4 inches of C4 scraped off the rebar interrupting the explosive circuit where a delay cap initiated with the gas detonation circuit is inserted.
