    The document compares the specifications of different types of building blocks: chamber clay bricks, fly-ash bricks, porothem blocks, AAC blocks, and CLC blocks. It provides data on their dimensions, appearance, compressive strength, water absorption, efflorescence tendency, dry and wet weights, and unit weight/density. Chamber clay bricks and fly-ash bricks have higher compressive strength, while AAC blocks have the highest water absorption and lowest dry unit weight. CLC blocks and fly-ash bricks show moderate to slight efflorescence.
