Investigative Study on the Properties of Hollow Concrete Blocks
The utilization of workmanship structures is as yet broad all through the world. Hollow concrete blocks have supplanted customary bricks in late development as a result of the upsides of higher bearing limit, farmland insurance, and energy protection [1].

Thin layer concrete blockwork in compression: an experimental analysis
The compressive strength of concrete block masonry is dependent upon the unit compressive strength, the type of unit, the mortar and the form of masonry construction (Mirza et al. 1995).

Investigation of the mechanical and thermal performances of concrete hollow blocks [PDF]
In order to improve the thermal performance of external masonry walls, the impact of the blocks’ internal configuration on both their mechanical strength and thermal properties is numerically investigated. Ten different configurations with approximatively similar void ratios of about 40% (38.25–40.5%) and same external dimensions (40 cm × 20 cm × 10 cm)

Concrete Hollow Block with Reused Glass
Concrete is being used a lot in construction. As urbanization accelerates globally, the demand for sustainable construction materials is becoming increasingly critical. Traditional concrete, a staple in the construction industry, is known for its environmental impact due to high energy consumption in production and the extensive use of natural ...

A Discussion about the Rod Position in the Splitting Tensile Tests on Hollow Concrete Blocks
Different loading conditions cause different tensile stress patterns in masonry structures. Several studies related to masonry behavior use indirect tensile tests to obtain that value, where the splitting test from ASTM-C-1006 is usually employed.
