To fill an 8" x 8" x 16" concrete block with grout, you first need to calculate the volume of the block. The volume is 8 inches (width) x 8 inches (height) x 16 inches (length) = 1024 cubic inches. Since there are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot, this converts to about 0.59 cubic feet of grout needed to fill one block. Always consider purchasing a little extra grout to account for spillage or variations in the mix.
A standard 8x8x16 2 core block contains about .25cf of open space
I was always tought "One pallet of block equals one yard". There are 90, 8•8•16 block on a pallet.

42 cubic feet or 1.56 yards.
To determine how many bags of concrete you need to fill a five-gallon bucket, first calculate the volume of the bucket. A five-gallon bucket holds about 0.67 cubic feet. If you're using a standard 60-pound bag of concrete, which typically yields about 0.45 cubic feet, you would need approximately 1.5 bags to fill the bucket. Always check the specific yield of the concrete mix you are using for the most accurate calculation.

Grout is used to fill spaces concrete will not flow into. Grout is more watery than concrete and the expectation is that the water will be absorbed into the surrounding materials and the remaining grout will reach design hardness. Concrete, to the contrary, is expected to retain its water and the amount is carefully calculated.
1yrd of grout will fill 100 block with typical 32" on center vertical rebar and 48" horizontal rebar.
First you lay out all the tiles with spacers adhering them to the floor, then you grout between by scraping across surface of tiles. Then just wipe clean. The grout is like a concrete mix & will harden.
Grout is a material used to fill voids in concrete or tile structure. Grouting or Injection Grouting or Pressure Grouting invariably means the process of injecting grout into isolated pores or voids in a concrete or tile structure.Eg:- Injection grouting in a concrete water storage tank.

Yes, if you are constructing this wall with concrete block you will need #5 rebar dowels stubbed out of the foundation at 32" on center. You will also need one #5 rebar running continues in the top course and fill all cells with dowels and top course with either structural grout or concrete.
Grout is a substance that is used to fill gaps between tiles, such as in a shower or bathroom. Grout may be made of small aggregate, sand, and Portland cement. It may also be made of Portland cement or masonry cement and sand. There are many different types of cement, and these are usually used as an ingredient with which to make concrete and mortar.
Grout is a construction material used to embed rebars in masonry walls, connect sections of pre-cast concrete, fill voids, and seal joints (like those between tiles). Grout is generally composed of a mixture of water, cement, sand and sometimes fine gravel (if it is being used to fill the cores of cement blocks). Sometimes color tint is applied as a thick liquid and hardens over time, much like mortar.

To fix cracks in a concrete block wall, you can use a concrete patching compound to fill in the cracks. First, clean the area thoroughly and apply the patching compound according to the manufacturer's instructions. Allow it to dry completely before painting or sealing the wall.
