Investigative Study on the Properties of Hollow Concrete Blocks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Innovative Research in Computer Science & Technology, 2022
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

open access: yesEngineering Structures and Technologies, 2015
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).

An Independent Analysis of the Thermal Characteristics of Irish Concrete Hollow Blocks and Hollow Block Wall Upgrades and a Discussion on Hollow Block Design

open access: yes, 2009
Hollow block walls, whether originally built with external render and internal plaster, or more recently with external render and insulated drylining, represent the most common form of wall construction in Leinster over the last 50 years (see image in Figure 8).

A Method of Evaluating the Destruction of a Reinforced Concrete Hollow Core Slab for Ensuring Fire Resistance

open access: yesЖурнал інженерних наук, 2023
Fire tests of reinforced concrete floor slabs do not allow the detection of the onset of the boundary state due to loss of entirety because blocks are installed on the unheated surface to reproduce the design load.

Investigation of the mechanical and thermal performances of concrete hollow blocks [PDF]

open access: yesSN Applied Sciences, 2020
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

open access: yesNusantara Civil Engineering Journal
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

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
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.
