Basics

  • For A Wall that isn't CEB or Wood, the main remaining options are Blocks/Bricks and Poured Concrete
  • Concrete and Bricks are also the Main Options for Basements+Foundations
  • This page attempts to settle the debate via compiling research and expert opinoins
  • The main data will be strengths (Compressive, Tensile, etc), and Water Permiablity (IE will your basement flood more easily with one or the other?)
  • Another bit of study may need to be done on steel reinforcement in both, as well as a study of adjoining methods for bricks/blocks
