FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 4) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Cement Matrix Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
Concrete masonry already extensively used in building construction abroad, is now making considerable headway
in this country, because of many advantages, such as durability, strength, structural stability, fire resistance,
insulation and sound absorption it possesses. Concrete masonry construction is also economical because of the
following aspects:
a) The units are relatively large and true in size and shape. This ensures rapid construction so that more
wall is laid per man-hour than in other types of wall constructions;
b) Fewer joints result in considerable saving in mortar as compared to normal masonry construction, and
also in increasing the strength of the wall; and
c) The true plain surfaces obtained obviate necessity of plaster for unimportant buildings situated in low
rainfall areas. Even when plaster is used for any reason the quantity required for satisfactory coverage is
significantly small.
Concrete masonry has attractive appearance and is readily adaptable to any type of architecture. It lends itself to
a wide variety of surface finishes for both exterior and interior walls. It may also be finished with cement plaster,
gauged with lime or a plasticizer. Concrete masonry units provide a strong mechanical key uniting the concrete
masonry backing and the plaster finish in a strong permanent bond.
Cellular concrete is a class of material, which has been developed commercially abroad and is coming in vogue
in this country also. This standard is intended for foamed concrete masonry blocks manufactured at site/factories,
using preformed stable foam. Foamed concrete in the form of blocks or poured in-situ is used for thermal insulation
over flat roofs or for cold storage walls or as non-load bearing walls in RCC/steel framed buildings or for load
bearing walls for low-rise buildings; as backing for other types of facing materials, for piers, pilasters and columns;
for retaining walls, garden walls, chimneys and fire places etc. The provision pertaining to use of low density
preformed foamed cellular lightweight concrete blocks for thermal insulation produced using preformed stable
foam are covered under IS 6598 : 1972 'Cellular concrete for thermal in solution' . This standard covers application
of medium and high density blocks for partitions and load bearing walls .
This standard is a part of a series of standards formulat~d on concrete masonry units. The other parts in this series
are:
Part I Hollow and solid concrete blocks,
Part 2 Hollow and solid lightweight concrete blocks, and
Part 3 Autoclaved cellular (aerated) concrete blocks. .
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of the standard is given in Annex H.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard, is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revisedi' . The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
