 Concrete: - A composite material that consists essentially of a binding medium, such as a

mixture of Portland cement and water, within which are embedded particles or fragments of
aggregate, usually a combination of fine and coarse aggregate.
 Hollow Blocks -A concrete masonry unit (CMU) is a standard size rectangular block used in
building construction.
 Compressive strength- or compression strength is the capacity of a material or structure to
withstand loads tending to reduce size, as opposed to tensile strength, which withstands loads
tending to elongate.
 Water absorption- test on bricks are conducted to determine durability property of bricks such
as degree of burning, quality and behavior of bricks in weathering.

 A universal testing machine (UTM),- also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine
or materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of
materials.
 Mixing Water Quality for Concrete-Potable water that is compatible for the water absorption
test of the cements(mineral water)
