Reinforced hollow block masonry 1

[Bamsi786]

thread507-474133
İ need some guidance about reinforced hollow blovk masonry, we are in a bit of a situation, my last thread was really helpful the people who replied there were really helpful, ill mention their names and ids, im facing a problem where the grouting in the reinforced cells were not done properly, and now im not sure what to do, locals are suggesting just to open the shell at the top, and center and pour concrete with smaller crush. Please i need help ¢

By grout mix you mean cement sand and aggregate with water right? Their ratio?

There are other additives to ensure fluidity, e.g. Super plasticiser noted above. You can't make it runny enough just by adjusting the water/sand/cement/agg ratios.

50 years back there were not the same additives... I never thought to ask how the mix was prepared. I recall seeing the line of water (after a period of time) show up on the walls and it was poured from an 8' drop by wheelbarrow.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
