Are poured concrete walls better than concrete block walls?
It depends on the application. For homes, masonry is fine as long as it is insulated well against the weather. Masonry rarely needs maintenance. Concrete walls are stronger and last longer than masonry but are more costly to construct. For basement walls, I suggest that you always use concrete walls. Above ground level, masonry is cheaper and strong enough for residential and commercial, multi-story applications. For retaining walls, 8" thick masonry works well up to about 8 feet of retained earth. Above that, the lower courses of block will get thicker to 12". You still need concrete footings for block walls.
Which type of foundation?
There are lots of types and sub-types of foundations. * Slab. A flat slab of concrete is poured and the home is built atop it. * Perimeter. A ring of thick concrete is poured into forms where the bearing walls of the building will later be built. Pier blocks are often used to support interior walls * Concrete posts are set into the ground in key places around the foundation rim. The floor rests on these posts. * Basement. This isn't a distinct type of foundation, but is noteworthy. A home with a basement typically puts the majority of its weight on massive concrete walls that extend 10 or more feet down. A slab between the basement walls helps stabilize the walls.

How do you dissolve concrete with sugar?
To dissolve concrete with sugar, you would need to create a sugar solution by mixing water with a large amount of sugar. This solution can then be poured onto the concrete and left to sit for an extended period of time, typically several weeks to months, to gradually break down the concrete. However, it is important to note that this method is not very efficient or practical for dissolving large amounts of concrete and may not be effective for thick or reinforced concrete structures.
