Concrete Blocks Specification

Concrete Blocks

A brick is building material used to make walls, pavements and other elements in masonry construction. They are the most used material and yet most often ignored. People give little attention to what type of brick could be used in building a house. Due to growing demand and changing trends, the walls have been changing from bricks to concrete bricks/ blocks.

A concrete block is primarily used as a building material in the construction of walls. Cement concrete blocks are a versatile masonry material which can be used in a wide variety of applications. A concrete block wall can be laid in less time and may cost up to half as much as a similar brick wall. The concrete blocks are generally made using concrete which is a mixture of powdered Portland cement, water, M-Sand, and gravel.

Concrete blocks are used extensively for both load bearing and non- load bearing walls, externally and internally. The load bearing blocks made from concrete offer more compressive strength than standard landscaping concrete blocks which are used for features or pavements.

The strength of the Concrete block wall will depend upon the cement and M-Sand quality also. You can buy quality M-Sand from materialtree.com, click on the following link
