I can't provide a specific drawing, but I can describe a basic design for an 8' high block wall using 8x8x16 blocks. The wall should have a concrete foundation that is at least 12 inches wide and 6 inches deep, with rebar for reinforcement. The blocks can be stacked with staggered joints for added stability, and it's essential to consider drainage and weep holes to prevent water buildup. Always consult local building codes and a structural engineer for precise specifications and safety considerations.
The foundation is built out of cement blocks instead of poured concrete.

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.

The standard concrete building block for load-bearing walls is 8 x 8 x 16
Basic concrete block it 8x8x16 inches.
A standard 8x8x16 2 core block contains about .25cf of open space
An 8x8x16 solid concrete block typically weighs around 135-150 pounds.
1.125 sq ft in 1 block
To calculate the number of 8x8x16 concrete blocks needed for a 60'x40'x3' foundation, first determine the volume of the foundation: 60 ft x 40 ft x 3 ft = 7,200 cubic feet. Each concrete block has a volume of 0.67 cubic feet (8 in x 8 in x 16 in = 0.5 ft x 0.67 ft x 1.33 ft). Dividing the total volume of the foundation by the volume of one block: 7,200 cubic feet / 0.67 cubic feet ≈ 10,746 blocks. Thus, you'll need approximately 10,746 concrete blocks.
I was always tought "One pallet of block equals one yard". There are 90, 8•8•16 block on a pallet.
In America: 8x8x16 inches, This is the standard CMU: Concrete Masonry Unit There also the half blocks 8x8x8. Source: http://concreteblocksizes.blogspot.com/
The weight of an 8x8x16 masonry block typically ranges from 28 to 35 pounds (about 12.7 to 15.9 kg), depending on the density of the concrete mix used. Standard concrete blocks are often around 32 pounds (14.5 kg). It's important to note that variations in moisture content and manufacturing processes can slightly affect the weight.

20 lbs.
The dry weight of a medium density concrete block (215 x 450 x 100mm thick) is approximately 7.5Kg --- There are many different sizes, shapes and mixes used to make concrete block. Additionally the weight varies if the unit is wet or not since they absorb water. I see varying weights of 35 to 55 pounds for 8x8x16 block.
