Nov 19, 2016· Compressive strength of concrete Blocks or concrete masonry units are required to know the suitability of these in construction works for various purposes. Concrete masonry blocks are generally made of cement, aggregate and water. Which are usually rectangular and are used in construction of masonry structure. They are available in solid and hollow forms.
Density of Concrete Masonry Block. As said above, 3 blocks shall be taken to conduct this test. To determine the density of block, first heat the block in the oven to 100 o c and then cooled it to room temperature. Now take the dimensions of block and from that find out the volume and weigh the block. The density of block is determined from the ...
minimum compressive strength of the non-load bearing hollow blocks in a way that testing out comparisons may give out accuracy and avoid some discrepancy in the results. Right after
17.5.2 Standards for Concrete Masonry Units ASTM C90, Standard Specification for Load-Bearing Concrete Masonry Units.Hollow and solid loadbearing concrete blocks are covered in this standard. Weight classifications are divided into Light Weight (less than 105 lb/cu ft oven dry weight of concrete), Medium Weight (105 to less
1.1 These test methods provide various testing procedures commonly used for evaluating characteristics of concrete masonry units and related concrete units. Methods are provided for sampling, measurement of dimensions, compressive strength, absorption, unit weight (density), moisture content, flexural load, and ballast weight.
These blocks are being widely used with increase in fly ash content, there is reduction in in construction of residential buildings, factories and multi- compressive strength of concrete. The optimum replacement storied buildings. These hollow blocks are commonly used in of cement with fly ash is 30%. compound walls due to their low cost.
Feb 13, 2020· 08. As the hollow concrete blocks are light in weight, they reduce the weight of the structure and hence light structural member or less percentage of steel is required for a given R.C.C building. 09. Presence of rough texture on concrete blocks provides good bonding between cement mortar and concrete blocks. 10.

Table 1: Minimum face shell and Web Thickness Classification: The hollow (open and closed cavity) concrete blocks shall conform to the following two grades- Grade A: These are used as load bearing units and shall have a minimum block density of 1500 kg/m 3.
8. Hollow concrete block is environmentally eco friendly. 9. Factor of safety of hollow concrete block is more than brick masonry. 10. Maintenance cost of the hollow concrete block is less than brick masonry. IV. REQUIREMENTS FROM CONCRETE BLOCKS:- The basic requirement from any concrete is to provide strength and durability.
The equivalent thickness is determined in accordance with Standard Methods of Sampling and Testing Concrete Masonry Units, ASTM C140/C140M (ref. 5), and is reported on the C140 test report. If the equivalent thickness is unknown, but the percent solid of the unit is, the equivalent thickness of a hollow unit can be determined by multiplying the ...
