classification of concrete blocks
If you want to know the volume of blockfill for 8 inch blocks its 120 blocks to the cubic metre of concrete
the name itself says the concrete used here is of light weight.....the best example of this kind of structure is PANTHELON....
The hollow block sizes in the Philippines are the following:40cm (length) X 20 cm (width) X 4 in (thickness)40cm (length) X 20 cm (width) X 5 in (thickness)40cm (length) X 20 cm (width) X 6 in (thickness)
Traditional Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) Blocks have 2 rectangular voids through the block. These voids are called "Cells". The face shell thickness is the thickness of the block material from the cell to the front of the block. For example, a typical block of dimensions 8"high by 8"deep by 16" long probably has a face shell thickness of 1.25".
34 PCs. of hollow blocks
How many 8"X8"X16" concrete hollow block from 50 kg cement
you wouldn't even need 1 bag of cement and there are also lots of variables, thickness, mix ratio, bag sizes?
Hollow concrete tile blocks were first used soon after the ancient Romans developed concrete. It was not very strong, but it was strong enough to be a tile.
While concrete has been used as a building material for many centuries, concrete hollow blocks have only been manufactured since the early 1900s. These blocks are used in all types of building projects.
In general, about half an inch of mortar is required to lay each hollow concrete block. The total amount of mortar needed can be calculated by multiplying this value by the number of blocks to be laid.
It depends on the size of each block and their orientation.
