The answer will depend on the size of the concrete block!
2 blocks west and then 3 blocks south
donno
That depends on the size of the blocks. If each block is 1 foot long, then there would be 50 blocks, if however, each block is 2 feet long, there would be 25 blocks. Just divide 50 by the size of each block.
253.125 blocks.
Not counting the space for sand between the blocks, it would take11,520/(area of each block in square inches)blocks.
Wooden blocks will (usually) float. Concrete blocks sink.
I think no because the blocks would be too heavy to weigh.
I would like to build a new patio with concrete pavers. Where can I find them at?
would a scale that is used to weigh food be the best tool to weigh concrete blocks
No because if there were to be an earthquake, it would be gone and concrete is not very stable foundation.
That depends on your materials. Bricks and blocks tend to be rectangles. Concrete can be any shape you would like.
The tower would be bolted down to heavy concrete blocks sunk into the ground.
I've never heard the phrase before, but would guess it means sitting on concrete blocks and anchored to the concrete pad with cables or chains.
The answer depends on the size of the cement blocks which are not an international standard.
Concrete does dry as it solidifies, but the water used in the mix does not evaporate and leave the remaining components of the concrete in place as a solid. When concrete sets the water chemically reacts with the solids and is incorporated into the now solid material. The main problem with the setting of the concrete in Hoover Dam was to remove the heat generate in the setting process. The concrete was poured in such thick blocks that the internal temperature would have risen to damaging levels without special procedures to remove this heat. Coolant was circulated through pipes laid in the concrete to remove this heat.
Depends on mortared or dry. Mortared it would be 37, or actually 36.4. Dry stacked it would be 38, or 37.5.
you could but it would be rather uncomfortable! You could build the base out of concrete if your floor would support it but you would want a mattress with a lot more give. Regarding the heavy concrete base, I hear that far lighter types of concrete are now being made using ash and extruded styrene instead of sand in the concrete and with glass fibre or vegetable fibre instead of steel armature. It sounds like a good idea - the base wouldn't creak.
