Advantages of Hollow Blocks
Concrete hollow blocks have holes, which are horizontally aligned. This allows moisture to seep through. Blocks are made of concrete, which absorbs very little water. At the same time, they have vertically aligned holes, which do not allow moisture to seep through.
- Saving in mortar for plasterwork. Uniform Plaster thickness can be maintained due to precision of the size of block as compared to brick work where plaster thickness of average 20 mm is required to produce uniform and even plastered surface due to variations in the sizes of bricks.
- Electrical and plumbing works require no additional channels.
- No problem of the appearance of salts, hence great saving in the maintenance of final finishes to the walls. fixing of Blocks is much quicker as compared to brick work, hence saving in time.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The process of manufacture of cement concrete Hollow blocks involves the
following 5 stages;
- Proportioning
- Mixing
- Compacting
- Curing
- Drying
Characteristics of Concrete Block:
- Made from a mixture of Portland cement, blended cement, various types of aggregates, and water.
- Also referred to as concrete masonry units (CMU).
- Advantages:
- Inexpensive
- Lightweight
- Durable
- Easy to install
- Fireproof
- Low maintenance
- Could be ornamented
- Face plates were used to create a variety of surface finishes, including cobblestone, brick, ashlar and rockface (the most common type); more decorative finishes included designs of scrolls, wreaths and roping.

- Typical size manufactured is nominally for a stretcher block 8 by 8 by 16 inches; this was the standard size manufactured by 1930 (actual dimensions 8 by 7 3/4 by 15 3/4 inches).
- They may be Hollow or Hollow with two or three cores for such stretcher blocks; various other types of standard shapes are also often available and one should consult the local market to determine availability. Block ends may be flat or flanged.

Natural or Inherent Problems
- Cracking: Often due to shrinkage of the concrete or movement of the wall.
- Efflorescence: Occurs when accumulations of salt are carried to the surface by water migrating through the masonry.
- Staining: Staining may appear in many forms, including dirt build-up, metallic staining or painted Rising Damp: When ground water enters the wall from the base and migrates upward.
