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

International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management, 2020
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.
