How many cement bags required for the hollow brick masonry per cum?
35kg
What is the thickness of a concrete hollow block?

What are the advantages of Laterite blocks?
Strength and durability of cement-stabilized laterite hollow blocks made with laterite soils at three different locations in Edo State were studied. To this end, blocks were produced with water content at about the optimum moisture with varying percentages of cement from 3% to 15% at 2% increments and compactive pressures ranging from 3.44 N/mm2 to 17.20 N/mm2. The result showed that for 7% cement content and 13.76 N/mm2 compactive pressure, blocks of strength of at least 2.0N/mm2 at 28 days, could be produced. The blocks showed no features of wear after exposure to rain with weight losses within permissible limits after 12-cycles of wetting-brushing-drying. Cost analysis showed that laterite blocks have 40% cost advantage over similar sandcrete blocks.ADAVANTAGES: Strength • durability • cement • stabilization • laterites

What is cost effective construction?
It is a construction technique where cost effectiveness is brought about. In this COSTLY world minimisation in building industry is seriously necessary. It is bringing in Eco-friendly cheap material in the place of conventional material which holds it. Some of the recent effective materials used are rat trap bond instead of English bonded walls, bamboo technology, ferro-cement, filler slabs, hollow blocks walls,etc.

Concrete
Why hollow bricks are used in buildings?
For insulation purposes. It creates a camera or layer of air that acts as a barrier and helps to maintain a building's heat inside. The same way the hair on your skin does when it stands on end in cold weather.
