The red clay brick is better than hollow brick for construction of apartments. Because bands should be constructed at every 5-10 feet height if we adopt hollow bricks. Moreover, red clay bricks have higher strength than hollow bricks.

Strength and durability of cement-stabilized laterite hollow blocks made with laterite soils at three different locations in Edo State were studied. To this end, blocks were produced with water content at about the optimum moisture with varying percentages of cement from 3% to 15% at 2% increments and compactive pressures ranging from 3.44 N/mm2 to 17.20 N/mm2. The result showed that for 7% cement content and 13.76 N/mm2 compactive pressure, blocks of strength of at least 2.0N/mm2 at 28 days, could be produced. The blocks showed no features of wear after exposure to rain with weight losses within permissible limits after 12-cycles of wetting-brushing-drying. Cost analysis showed that laterite blocks have 40% cost advantage over similar sandcrete blocks.ADAVANTAGES: Strength • durability • cement • stabilization • laterites

A plinth is usually a small column or narrow upright box , used to display art, mostly sculpture. A hollow plinth would have a space in the center, but there are also solid plinths.

It means that the sterling is hollow and has cement inside to add weight.

1:4 to 1:6 ratio of cement and sand.
you wouldn't even need 1 bag of cement and there are also lots of variables, thickness, mix ratio, bag sizes?
Yes, but . . . There are two kinds of hollow bricks. One is for veneer only, the other is used for structural construction.
Air is an insulator of heat and prevents outside heat from entering the house.
Yes.
It is a construction technique where cost effectiveness is brought about. In this COSTLY world minimisation in building industry is seriously necessary. It is bringing in Eco-friendly cheap material in the place of conventional material which holds it. Some of the recent effective materials used are rat trap bond instead of English bonded walls, bamboo technology, ferro-cement, filler slabs, hollow blocks walls,etc.
