19 cm Concrete Block (with TIS Standard)
General Characteristics
Concrete blocks are rectangular building materials with a size of 19 x 39 x 19 cm.
Applications
They have similar applications to clay bricks but offer faster construction and standardized dimensions, making it easier to estimate the amount of materials and labor required.
Properties of Concrete Blocks
Advantages
- Saves up to 50% of mortar compared to ordinary bricks of the same thickness
- Larger size makes them lighter than clay bricks
- Porous gray texture with hollow cores reduces weight and saves materials
Disadvantages
- Cannot bear heavy loads or suspended loads
- Brittle and easily broken
- Not suitable for embedding electrical or plumbing pipes in walls
- Not as good at handling heat as lightweight bricks

In Conclusion
Concrete blocks offer advantages in material savings and construction time, but have limitations in load-bearing capacity and use in applications requiring high strength and durability in heavy load or high-temperature environments.
