Prism Test - Hollow Block Wall
Prism Test - Hollow Block Wall
(OP)
I must have some prism tests done at our test lab which falls outside my normal area of concrete repair. In order to calculate the load, I require the cross-sectional area (mortar face) of a hollow concrete block. I cannot find anything in the standards (CSA) that describe how this is done. I was going to have the density done on a block then calculate the width since all the other variables will be known. Any information would be appreciated.
