CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS• Is a large rectangular brick used in
construction.
• Portland cement and aggregate, usually sand and fine gravel for high-density blocks.
• Size -12x8x4 inch

DESCRIPTION• Have one or more hollow cores.
• In general, a hollow-core concrete block is more than 50 % solid.
• Standard hollow concrete blocks come in full and half sizes.
• Full-size blocks are rectangular and have two cores.
• Half size blocks are cubical and have one core.

Manufacturing Process• Cement concrete blocks are - solid or
hollow. • The blocks sizes are - 12x8x4"; 12x8x3";
12x8x6", etc.• Cement, stone chips, sand, etc. are mixed
in the ratio of 1:6 or 1:12.• vibrate the mixture and then poured into the
desired size mould .• After 24 hours of drying, the blocks are put
in water tank for curing. • Curing time - two to three weeks to give the
blocks compression strength.

• Highly Durable: The good concrete compacted by high pressure and vibration gives substantial strength to the block. Proper curing increase compressive strength of the blocks.
• Low Maintenance • Fire Resistant• Provide thermal and sound insulation• Economical• Environment Friendly
ADVANTAGES OF HOLLOW BRICKS
![Page 11: HOLLOW BRICKS](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052117/58e935661a28ab84768b4a9f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
STRUCTURAL ADVANTAGES
• Reducing the vulnerability (exposed to damage) of disastrous damage to the structure/building, during the natural hazards.
• Provide and offer better resistance under dynamic loading

CONSTRUCTIONAL ADVANTAGES• No additional formwork or any special
construction machinery is required for reinforcing the hollow block masonry.
• Only semi-skilled labour is required for this type of construction.
• It is a faster and easier construction system, when compared to the other conventional construction systems.
• It is also found to be a cost-effective disaster resistant construction system

ARCHITECTURAL AND OTHER ADVANTAGES
• This construction system provides better acoustic and thermal insulation for the building.
• Faster construction: - Easy to work with bigger in size.
• Recommended for earth quake resistance.
• Less water absorption:- Approx. 3 to 4%
• Environmental Eco-Friendly
• This system is durable and maintenance free.
• No leaching: - Reduction in maintenance.
