Solid blocks have no cavities, or- according to US stand-ards- have no voids amounting to not more than 25% of the gross cross-sectional area. Hollow blocks are the most common type of concrete blocks, having one or more holes that are open at both sides. The total void area can amount to 50% of the gross cross-sectional area. Advantages
به خواندن ادامه دهیدConcrete blocks. Though history records the use of concrete blocks by the Romans, Greeks and even Egyptians (some of the two-tonne blocks that make up the Pyramids are believed to be a primitive form of concrete), modern-type blocks were first cast, albeit in modest quantities, in around the middle of the nineteenth century.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدConcrete bricks are systematically piled blocks that are rectangular in shape and primarily used to build rigid walls. Normally made of concrete or cooked clay, this brick masonry is ideal for building fences, giving them a slick and aesthetic look.While some manufacturers use cement and lightweight aggregate or aggregates to make these blocks, others stick to solid concrete.

Block and concrete are strong in compression, but weak in tension. Reinforcing steel needs to be in block walls - both vertical and horizontal. Block cores must be filled with pea-gravel concrete.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe cement used to make concrete bricks must be strength class 42,5N or higher, as the concrete needs to cure as fast as possible. Sand and stones will form the aggregates for the concrete bricks. You can use pit or fine river sand, coarse sand (up to 5mm in size) or stones that are no bigger than 10mm for hollow bricks or 13mm for solid bricks.

To make your concrete stronger, increase the amount of cement that you're using in relation to the amount of sand and other aggregates that you're using.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدIn the use of concrete blocks for the walls of buildings, the stress to which they are subjected is almost entirely one of compression. In compressive strength well-made concrete does not differ greatly from ordinary building stone. It is difficult to find reliable records of tests of sand and gravel concrete, 1 to 4 and 1 to 5, such as is used in making blocks; the following figures show ...
به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe aim is to find a mix that will produce blocks that have an acceptable texture and are strong enough but as cheap as possible. Because cement is more expensive than aggregates, the lower the cement content the cheaper the block. Strength of well cured blocks depends on: • Aggregate:cement ratio • Degree of compaction

به خواندن ادامه دهیدGenerally, when the stone ratio is more than the sand, this concrete cures a little stronger than a 1:3:3 ratio. The difference is in the workability of the concrete. The sand tends to make the concrete a little more easier to work with. The less sand the rockier the mix is going to be. Cool things you can make by mixing your own concrete
