- A concrete masonry unit
(CMU) [US], concrete block, cement block or foundation block [US] is a
large rectangular brick used in construction.
- A concrete block is one
of several precast concrete products used in construction.
- Hollow concrete blocks
are substitutes for conventional bricks and stones in building
construction.
- Split-face concrete
blocks or concrete masonry units (CMUs) are a special class of
decorative or architectural block that has a rough, stone-like texture
created by splitting a block during production.
- The production of
concrete blocks consists of four basic processes: mixing, molding,
curing, and cubing.
- Aerated autoclaved
concrete (AAC) is manufactured by combining sand, lime, cement, and
water plus an expansion agent that reacts with the other ingredients to
form the porous microstructure in the concrete.
- The manufacture of
concrete blocks requires constant monitoring to produce blocks that have
the required properties.
- The color additives
with the longest history of proven performance in concrete products are
made from oxidized metals.
The crumb rubber was used as aggregate in
the manufacturing of concrete block.
- Veneer wall concrete
blocks are heavy weight, hardly capillary and have a moderate to low air
and vapour permeance.
- Articulated Concrete
Blocks has been utilized for Overtopping Protection.
- Concrete blocks and
iron structures of different design, size and weight are used for the
construction of artificial reefs.
- Concrete block walls
are commonly used to separate dwelling units from each other and to
enclose mechanical equipment rooms in both residential and office
buildings because of their inherent mass and stiffness.
- Concrete block paving
technology supports the use of pavers in engineering pavements.
- Geodetic and
non-geodeticlight technique used to detect the deformation of a weight
concrete block which undergoes load testing.
- In many parts of the
world, concrete block and slab paving is primarily manufactured using
dry-cast technology in connection with immediate stripping of cast
elements.
- Infrared (IR) scanning
technique used to evaluate the bond between FRP composites and
concrete.
- Two novel techniques of
remediating concrete and wood contaminated with organic compounds were
developed and tested.
- A typical price
increase will be around 30 pence per square metre for solid dense
concrete blocks. However, the block industry offers a number of products
that will help to reduce the impact of the levy on the customer, such as
cellular and lightweight blocks.
- The construction
industry and the masonry segment remain strong influences on the U.S.
economy.
- Typically, the cost of
raw materials in concrete is about 60-70 percent cement and 30-40
percent aggregates and water. Labor and equipment cost is also
significant, averaging approximately 25 percent of the total concrete
cost.
