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.

How many hollow block can 1 50kg cement can fill?

The number of hollow blocks that can be filled with 1 bag (50 kg) of cement varies based on the size of the blocks and the mix ratio of the mortar. Generally, a 50 kg bag of cement can produce enough mortar to fill approximately 30 to 40 standard hollow blocks, assuming a typical mix. It's important to consider factors like water content and aggregate size, which can affect the final yield. Always consult specific guidelines for the materials you are using for the most accurate estimate.


What are the masonry beams?

A masonry beam is more often called a "bond beam." This is where a block is cut or manufactured with a slot to lay down one or two pieces of rebar down inside the block horizontally. The blocks are filled with grout and this adds horizontal strength to the wall by tying the vertical cells that are filled with grout to the horizontal cells that are filled with grout, creating a grid making the wall much stronger. www.masonryworktools.com


What is the Volume of head pan with cement?

The volume of a head pan filled with cement depends on the size of the pan itself, as head pans come in various dimensions. To calculate the volume, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (if the pan is cylindrical), which is V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the pan. Alternatively, if the pan has a different shape, you would use the appropriate volume formula for that shape. Typically, head pans used in construction can hold around 10 to 15 liters of concrete mix.

I have 2 gorham sterling candlesticks cement filled reinforced with rod 674.is there any value.9 inches tall?

I do not have an answer, but I am taking my two Gorham sterling candelabra that have been cement filled and reinforced with rod to New York City Wednesday to a dealer that purchases gold and silver. If the dealer purchases my candlelabra, I can let you know how much I receive or if I receive anything. Also, you can get your sterling candlesticks (cement filled) appraised by a specialist. Some people sell their sterling candlesticks that have been cement filled on ebay. I am not sure when you posted this question. 11/01/2010 VaneBrn 11/07/2010 I sold my cement filled candelabra (or cedelabrum) and candle holders that are sterling and cement filled on Wednesday, November 3, 2010. Unfortunately, my candelabra and candle holders were not in the best condition. I received only $125. However, if your gorham sterling candlesticks that are cement filled are in good condition, you should receive at least $250 and some would probably buy them for over $300 or $350. VaneBrn
