MORTAR&CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCK
BY CARLO C. MENDOZA
MORTARA fine aggregate and water mixed together in suitable proportions , they form an easily workable paste that use for binding materials
FUNCTION OF MORTARTo bind together the bricks or stones properly so as to provide strength to the structure.
To provide a weather resisting
To fill up empty joints in brick and stone masonry.
DONTdo not use dirty waterpuddles or ponds (shallow pool)sugar-containing liquidssoft drinks
Dry sand and cement in wheelbarrow Begin to mix sand and cement Mix to evenly distribute cement The dry mix should be all one colour Add water and plasticiser Mix to required consistency
CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKSIs a large rectangular brick used in construction. Portland cement and aggregate, usually sand and fine gravel for high-density blocks.
COMMON PARTS
DESCRIPTIONHave 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.
ADVANTAGES OF HOLLOW CONCRETE BLOCKS. 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 ResistantProvide thermal and sound insulationEconomicalEnvironment Friendly
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 labor 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-FriendlyThis system is durable and maintenance free.No leaching: - Reduction in maintenance.
