Its 1 cement to 5 sand for most bricks and blocks, 1:3 for engineering bricks.
The foundation is built out of cement blocks instead of poured concrete.
Because in summers the cement blocks stsrt expanding due t o excessive heat, So to stop it we fill pitch betwwen them which hold the blocks tightly and stop them to contract in winters.if there would be continuous expansion and contraction the cemen blocks would have cracks and they would break down.
Concrete blocks are large cement bricks used in construction. The main purpose of concrete blocks is for building foundations, basement walls, exterior and partition walls.
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
The artist may choose cement blocks instead of paper because the cement blocks are being used for a special project, the blocks are the preferred medium, or other reasons.

A heaviness in the legs and arms is often described as the limbs feeling like cement blocks. This can be a symptom or sign of Fibromyalgia.
The answer depends on the size of the cement blocks which are not an international standard.
cinder blocks and cement.
All things being equal; a bag of cement would lay 100 pieces of 5 inch blocks.
The number of 6-inch blocks that one bag of cement can produce depends on the mix ratio and the size of the blocks. Typically, one standard 94-pound bag of cement can create about 8 to 12 concrete blocks, depending on the specific mix and the density of the blocks. For accurate calculations, it’s best to refer to specific mixing ratios and local guidelines.
Brick and cement blocks.
Its 1 cement to 5 sand for most bricks and blocks, 1:3 for engineering bricks.
If ten blocks weigh 85kg then each block weighs 85/10 = 8.5kg so two blocks weigh 8.5 x 2 = 17kg
