A Comparative Study on Various Strength Parameters of Solid Concrete Blocks, Solid Concrete Blocks with Fly Ash and Hollow Concrete Blocks

Abstract

The article discusses the various strength parameters of conventional bricks, solid concrete blocks, solid concrete blocks with fly ash and hollow concrete blocks. Due to growing population, the demand for conventional bricks too increased so we invent various alternatives for the construction of wall. Because of different strength parameters, we find alternatives such as solid concrete blocks, solid concrete blocks with fly ash and hollow concrete locks that should be used for present construction work. The use of concrete masonry units for high rise load-bearing construction has created a need for concrete blocks with high compressive strength.
