A concrete retaining wall block includes insets along the sides and in the rear and a locator protrusion on one of the top or bottom surfaces. The block has a depth that is less than the height and less than one-half of the width of the front surface. A volume is defined behind the...
Constructing walls with concrete blocks leads to void spaces within the walls because of the concrete blocks' structure. To achieve the maximum strength that a concrete block wall can potentially have, it would be best to fill these void spaces with concrete or mortar. Like in most concrete str...
The block (1) has an inner wall (3) and an outer wall (2) connected to a metal bar (4), and a separator space formed between the walls, where the space is filled with an insulating material. Thickness of the outer wall is larger than thickness of the inner wall. Corners of a par...
Wet concrete is compressed in a mould to form a block (1) with side walls extending along both its top and bottom sides, with at least the bottom side including a partition line located between its two side walls. At least one of the sid... STEEVES TERRY P.,SILK DOUGLAS F. - EP ...
PURPOSE: A concrete block for a lattice retaining wall is provided to prevent the partial breaking of a header and to secure the stability of a retaining wall by dispersing upper load and horizontal load added on a stretcher. CONSTITUTION: The concrete block(10) for a lattice retaining wall ...
TOKYO, June 21 (Xinhua) -- Japan's Osaka prefectural government said Thursday it had decided to inspect all concrete walls made of blocks in the area after a nine-year-old girl was crushed to death Monday after a strong earthquake caused the outer wall of her school's swimming pool to ...
During the 18th century, porous concrete was first employed to construct load-bearing walls or pavement surfaces, primarily due to the economic cost of cement production at that time. pervious concrete gained popularity rapidly after World War II, when the demand for building materials increased due...
In this paper, the effectiveness of enforcing arching action as a cost-effective hardening technique for vertically spanning one-way URM walls under blast loads is investigated. A total of eight full-scale concrete-block URM walls were subjected to blast loads generated by high explosives. ...
A concrete block system for retaining walls. Generally L-shaped concrete blocks are laid side by side and are laid in courses, each of which is positioned slightly inward from the course immediately below it to form a retaining wall. The retaining wall, the concrete blocks used to construct ...
