    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, concrete masonry unit (CMU), or by various other terms, is a standard-size rectangular block used in building construction.

  3. Concrete slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_slab

    A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings, consisting of a flat, horizontal surface made of cast concrete. Steel-reinforced slabs, typically between 100 and 500 mm thick, are most often used to construct floors and ceilings, while thinner mud slabs may be used for exterior paving (see below). [1] [2]

  4. 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.

  5. Autoclaved aerated concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoclaved_aerated_concrete

    Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a lightweight, precast, cellular concrete building material, eco-friendly, [1] suitable for producing concrete-like blocks. It is composed of quartz sand , calcined gypsum , lime , portland cement , water and aluminium powder .

  6. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

    The exterior shape of the ICF is similar to that of a Concrete masonry unit, although ICF blocks are often larger in size as they are made from a material having a lower specific gravity. Very frequently, the edges of block ICFs are made to interlock, reducing or eliminating the need for the use of a bonding material between the blocks.

  7. Waffle slab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_slab

    Slab depth is typically 75 mm (3 in) to 130 mm (5 in) thick. [5] [3] As a rule of thumb, the depth should be 1 ⁄ 24 of the span. [5] The width of the ribs is typically 130 mm (5 in) to 150 mm (6 in), and ribs usually have steel rod reinforcements. [5] The distance between ribs is typically 915 mm (3 ft). [3]

  8. Tilt up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_up

    The chronological steps that need to be taken for a tilt-up project are: site evaluation, engineering, footings and floor slabs, forming tilt-up panels, steel placement, embeds and inserts, concrete placement, panel erection and panel finishing. [1] [6] Once the pad (casting surface or floor slab) has cured, forms are built on top. Dimensional ...

  9. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1] Reinforced concrete is the most common form of concrete. The reinforcement is often steel rebar (mesh, spiral, bars and other forms). Structural fibers of various materials are ...
