  3. Ecology block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecology_block

    An ecology block, also known as an eco-block or ecoblock, is a type of recycled concrete block used to make retaining walls. 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 ...

    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. [2][3] AAC products are cured under heat and pressure in an autoclave.

    Properties of concrete. Concrete has relatively high compressive strength (resistance to breaking when squeezed), but significantly lower tensile strength (resistance to breaking when pulled apart). The compressive strength is typically controlled with the ratio of water to cement when forming the concrete, and tensile strength is increased by ...
