8" x 16" Cinder block will weigh just under 30 lbs
Answer:42.5 lbs. (19 kgs.)
Answer:42.5 lbs. (19 kgs.)
first find the source of the groundwater entering the structure. look for overflowing gutter, downspouts, places where sidewalks and terrain channel water to the structure. this is usually the problem, as for the block, knowing the nature of the material will provide some insight into how it responds to water. cinder block will actually absord a great deal of water from the ground. it will act like a sponge and with enough water and time it will actually flow through the cinderblock. 1, If your situation is just a little moisture or dampness there are a bunch of water sealing paints sold at sherwin Williams or diy stores that will work. if there is any loose or pealing paint it should be removed dried with a fan then painted. Please note when scraping paint it is possible that the paint your scraping could have lead in it, so be careful not to breath it in by wearing a good resporater and clean up debris with soapy water. 2, if there are holes or cracks in the block, hydraulic cement can be used to fix them on a day when it's not leaking. be carefull because if it's a lot of water and in your climate zone trapping this water in the cells of the block in freeze thaw freeze thaw cycles could actually create a much worse, problem by damaging the block.but usually if its th boton course of block it's most likely be okay to do. 3 if you have water pouring across the floor, and you have made sure that there are no gutter and downspout, sidewalk, or terrain issues the only really wise thing to do would be to add weepholes and divert the water with black eggcrate plastic to a drain of you choosing. if this wasn't helpfull i'd be glad to add more, if you could be more specific about your problem. i'd be glad to revisit this.
It depends how much back pitch there is
25oml of water
by the SUN
yeah, very much
Yes. Raw marble (untreated marble) will absorb water. However this doesn't mean it will absorb so much water it will have a significantly larger mass. Treated marble that has a thin silicon layer will not absorb water.
yes, if the blood cells absorb too much water, they can "lyse" or burst. therefore, drinking too much water is dangerous.
none

it will die as it absorb to much water until they are full
a lot i guess
The solubility of a material in water is how much the object can absorb.
About an inch of water, I've beem told.....
20%
