Hello,

I am looking for some information about Dox Blocks for a 1955 floor framing system. Any documentation regarding Dox Blocks, including span tables, material properties, and section properties, would be very helpful.

Thanks all.

It will be tough to find. Do you have idea which of the configurations it might be?

Are you in Minnesota, Michigan or Ohio?

I saw a building with a long span roof truss system built in the 1950s or 60s out of Dox Block (or similar) and it is still performing beautifully.

I will get back if I come up with something on the plank.

The building is in Baltimore.

The blocks are 16" in section, with a trapezoidal cavity and typically 2-#5 bars. Span is about 13'. Floors have a 2" topping slab and roof has none.

Proper dimensions would be helpful as well as material properties and any other documentation.

Any ideas?
