Description
Description

CMU concrete walls are constructed using Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs), also known as concrete blocks or cinder blocks. CMUs are hollow rectangular blocks made from concrete and are assembled on-site with mortar to form walls. This construction method is prized for its versatility, as CMUs can be used for both structural and non-structural walls.

The hollow cores can be filled with reinforcing materials or insulation. CMU walls are durable, fire-resistant, and provide good thermal mass, making them popular in various types of construction. However, they can be more labor-intensive and time-consuming to construct compared to precast concrete wall systems.
