  2. Hollow-core slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-core_slab

    Hollow-core slabs and wall elements without prestressed steel wire can be formed by extruders. The size of these elements will typically range in width from 600 to 2400 mm, in thickness from 150 to 500 mm, and can be delivered in lengths of up to 24 m. [1] The voids of the hollow core can be used as conduit for installations.

  3. Concrete block - Wikipedia

    A pallet of "8-inch" concrete blocks An interior wall of painted concrete blocks Concrete masonry blocks A building constructed with concrete masonry blocks. A concrete block, also known as a cinder block in North American English, breeze block in British English, or concrete masonry unit (CMU), or by various other terms, is a standard-size rectangular block used in building construction.

  4. Sandcrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandcrete

    Soil cement and landcrete are similar materials but use other types of soil [1] and hydraform blocks which are compressed, stabilized, earth blocks. Sandcrete is usually used as hollow rectangular blocks similar to concrete masonry units, often 45 centimetres (18 in) wide, 15 centimetres (5.9 in) thick, and 30 centimetres (12 in) with hollows ...

  5. Autoclaved aerated concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoclaved_aerated_concrete

    Larger size blocks leads to faster masonry work. Reduces project cost for large constructions. Fire-resistant: AAC, like other concretes, is fire-resistant. Ease of Handling: AAC Blocks are lightweight, making them easier to lift, carry, and install, smoothing out construction and further improving efficiency compared to traditional materials.

  6. Ecology block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecology_block

    Ecology blocks are manufactured using concrete left over from other construction processes. A cross-section of an eco-block typically measures 2 feet (61 cm) square, with block lengths ranging from 3 feet (91 cm) to 6 feet (180 cm). One block weighs between 1,800 pounds (820 kg) and 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg). [1]

  8. Massive precut stone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_precut_stone

    A key technique of massive-precut stone ("MP stone") is to specify precut stone to precise dimensions that match the architect's plan for rapid construction, typically using a crane. [1] The blocks may be numbered so that the masons can follow the plan procedurally. The use of massive stone blocks has several benefits, listed below.

  9. Hollow structural section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_structural_section

    A hollow structural section (HSS) is a type of metal profile with a hollow cross section. The term is used predominantly in the United States, or other countries which follow US construction or engineering terminology. HSS members can be circular, square, or rectangular sections, although other shapes such as elliptical are also available.
