When stone blocks are carefully cut and put together in rows without the use of mortar or cement we call this?
When stone blocks are carefully cut and assembled in rows without the use of mortar or cement, this technique is called "dry stone construction" or "dry stone masonry." This method relies on precise cutting and fitting of the stones to ensure stability and strength, allowing the structure to stand without any binding material. Dry stone walls and structures are often celebrated for their durability and aesthetic appeal.

What are the advantages of Laterite blocks?
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
