These mixtures, if properly cured, give concrete blocks a compression strength well above what is required in a one-storey building. The blocks may be solid,
Compressive strength results and information from mix results indie that cement content normally is low and at about 5% corresponding to 30-35 blocks made
The compressive strength requirement is relatively low which leads to a low cement content. Proper compaction of the sand cement blocks requires high amounts

Mortar is the element that bonds bricks or other masonry units together and provides such as flexibility, bonding properties, and compressive strength. Mortar mix is made with Portland cement, hydrated lime, and sand combined in specific
Sandcrete is a yellow-white building material made from a binder (typically Portland cement), sand in a ratio of circa 1:8, and water. Sandcrete is usually used as hollow rectangular blocks similar to concrete masonry units, The final compressive strength of sandcrete can be as high as 4.6 N/mm2, which is much less than
