Description
Description

A half-length corner CMU block is a concrete masonry unit that is used to create corners in CMU walls. The block is half the length of a standard CMU block, and it has one flat end and one hollow end. The flat end is placed facing out, and the hollow end is filled with mortar. Half-length corner CMU blocks are typically used to alternate with regular length blocks at the ends of CMU walls. This helps to create a strong and stable corner that can withstand the forces of gravity, wind, and earthquakes.
