16 Μαΐ 2021 · The architect should always attempt to design buildings using the nominal dimensions to the nearest half-block size to reduce waste and labor due to cut blocks. The following table provides concrete block sizes in both nominal and actual dimensions.
The actual dimensions of Regular Solid CMU blocks include depths of 1.625”-15.625” (4.1-39.7 cm), heights of 3.625”-7.625” (9.2-19.4 cm), and width of 15.625” (39.7 cm). The mortar in a CMU wall is typically 3/8" (9.5 mm) thick. This is the standard mortar joint thickness for CMU walls.
Concrete Masonry Units (CMU), also known as concrete blocks, are used extensively in construction due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility. Understanding the sizes and dimensions of CMUs is essential for selecting the right block for your project.
5 Δεκ 2021 · Concrete blocks are versatile in their use and diverse in their size. They come in a wide variety of sizes for different uses. Before you plan out the footing or get your first batch of concrete blocks to begin a project, you should understand the basic dimensions of these versatile building blocks.
Typically, concrete masonry units have nominal face dimensions of 8 in. (203 mm) high by 16 in. (406 mm) long, although other nominal face dimensions are available that accommodate an 8 in. (203 mm) module.
CMU Concrete Walls are constructed with wall depths of 6”-24” (15.2-61 cm) and typical overall wall widths of 12’-32’ | 3.66-9.75 m (Typical). Overall heights for CMU Concrete Walls are commonly between 8’-40’ (2.44-12.2 m).
