Concrete blocks are five or six times larger than bricks, so you might think that setting blocks would be about that much easier. Fitting concrete blocks for elevation work involves several steps to ensure stability, accuracy, and aesthetic appeal. Concrete blocks are prefabricated materials primarily used for constructing walls. Similar to bricks, these blocks are stacked together and bonded with mortar, typically composed of cement, sand, and water. They are hollow inside to accommodate steel bars and mortar filling.
Despite being a widely used material worldwide, its design possibilities have not been fully exploited. Concrete blocks are often associated with self-construction and low-cost housing, limiting opportunities to explore beyond functional design.
