Frame a wall next to the block wall to run your pipes in. You might even consider bringing the wall out away from the Block wall if you are not tight on footage.
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.
A detailed explanation of the sizing of modular concrete blocks for retaining walls and other projects is in the related links.
It is a wall constructed from individual small concrete blocks. It may be steel reinforced or not depending on application. They are quick to erect.
not in most areas, but the best way to be sure is to call your local building inspector.but odds are they will say no. don't worry a well bult cinderblock foundation will bear enormous weight.

It depends on what load is on the wall.
A concrete block is normally 8 inches high so that an 18 concrete block wall is 12 feet high.

A base for a wall in the foundation of a structure; a footing is wider than the wall to spread the weight over a large area
Termites burrow into concrete block walls. Termites live in many types of structures. In addition to walls they also live in baseboards and slabs.
A standard 8x8x16 2 core block contains about .25cf of open space
