Can cement bricks and concrete bricks be used together in the same wall construction?
I think that they can, if they are both used correctly, the cement and concrete bricks can be put together in the same wall construction. :) <><><> I think you need to define some words. Concrete is made by mixing portland cement, water, and sand/crushed stone. There ARE no "cement bricks" Traditional bricks are made by mixing clay, shale, and water, and baking them in a kiln (oven) at high temperatures. And yes, regular clay brick and concrete brick/ block are frequently both used in a wall. Together.

Do you need to apply a waterproofing agent like Tuff n Dri to a below grade retaining wall if 5000 psi concrete is used?
the 5,000 psi is the amount of pressure the concrete can withstand before it will crush. it has nothing to do with water proofing. to find out if you need water proofing you need to know how poores the concrete is and how quickly the ground out side will drain water. it only takes about 6 psi for water to penatrate most concrete walls, it is more a matter how long the water is alowed to stay against the wall, there for how far through the concrete it can penatrate if you have a good working drain you will most likely never need water proofing. but if you dont own a backhoe it is far cheaper to put it on the outside before the hole is filled.

How many concrete blocks for 10 x 10 foundation?
A concrete block is 18 inches long and 8 inches high. Therefore, about 6 block for each side = 9 feet 6 inches, with the end block of the next side turned sideways. 4 sides X 6 block is 24 block per course and where I live I would need at least 6 coarses below grade for a total of 144. I would get 10% extra just in case which would make it 158. You would have to add to this for any height above grade.
