	Concrete Masonry Unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cinder blocks are made from coal cinders and portland cement.
		Cinder blocks are lighter and, depending on aggregate availability, may be cheaper than concrete blocks of the same size.
		Once upon a time, a predecessor of the cinder block called a clinker brick was made from a mixture of clinker from boilers and furnaces, and cement.

	Linear attenuation coefficient of cinder blocks
		Blocks with nominal dimensions of 8" x 8" x 16" (the finished external dimensions are commonly about 7.5" x 7.5" x 15.5") may be either solid or may be partially hollow.
		There are other variations of the cinder block, one other being a block with three separate cavities, each about 3" x 5" in cross section extending through the thickness of the block.
		If you know the physical characteristics of the cinder blocks you are dealing with you should be able to make a reasonable estimate of their attenuating properties.

	Cinder block modular diffusor - Patent 4964486
		2-5, the block 15 is shown in detail to include a plurality of wells 25, 27, 29, 31, 33 and 35 having differing depths with respect to one another as determined through implementation of the quadratic-residue number theory sequence.
		1, it should be understood that for structural integrity, the blocks 21, 11, 13, and 23 are assembled on the blocks 15, 17, and 19 in a staggered overlapping relation through the use of mortar designated generally by the reference numeral 3.
		Thus, while the blocks 15, 17 and 19 each include a single well defined sequence of wells determined in accordance with the quadratic-residue number theory sequence, the blocks 21, 11, 13 and 23 only include portions of these sequences of wells and must be assembled together to provide complete such sequences.

		You may need to use a masonry chisel to break and cinder blocks that are attached in the center of the block.

	Replace damaged cinder blocks in a wall
		Damage to cinder blocks in foundations can cause water to leak into your home and possibly cause damage to the rest of the foundation.
		This is quite rare however, because in most cinder block walls the blocks are staggered for extra strength.
		Bond beams are often placed on top of a row of cinder blocks for extra stability as the wall is built.

	Cement or Concrete Building Blocks in Southeast Michigan
		Cement blocks are often confused with the term "cinder blocks".
		While cement blocks are made of pure concrete, cinder blocks, which are not used as often as they once were due to lower strength compared to cement blocks are made of a mixture of cement and coal cinders.
		Cement blocks are also being used to build in lieu of the use of wood.

	North Crater Rafted Blocks at CMNM
		Cinder cones form when loose rock fragments erupt from a central vent and pile up to create small, often circular, volcanoes.
		Cinders and ash form when hot magma, highly charged with dissolved gas, rises to the surface and erupts explosively, shooting magma into the air.
		Enough unburied rafted blocks exist to suggest North Crater may have been 40 m (131 ft) taller and 200 m (656 ft) wider at the base before rafting events carried away portions of the cone.

	Using concrete blocks to build beds? - Square Foot Gardening Forum - GardenWeb
		Concrete blocks can be as pretty as you want them to be, they can be covered by thin planks by screwing right into them (use concrete screws, or ask the dude at the hardware store what he would use).
		I painted my cinder blocks with one coat of latex DryLoc masonry paint, which is supposed to waterproof the blocks when building foundations and basement walls and such.
		Also, many cinder blocks today do still contain fly ash as a major component, so the old term isn't as outdated as one might think, its still the cheapest way for a plant to get rid of a waste product they'd otherwise have to pay to dispose of...

	Cinder block modular diffusor - Patent 5027920
		14-17, the block 2 is seen to include wells 89, 91 and 93 defined by respective dividers 94, 95, 96 and 97.
		In particular, an acoustical diffusor made in accordance with the teachings of the present invention may be integrated into an exterior structural wall of a building or, if desired, may form an interior non-structurally supportive wall.
		The LFD diffuses low frequencies and the diffusor blocks 15 diffuse md and high frequencies, thus producing a full spectrum diffusor which can cover an appreciable portion of the audio spectrum.

	Advice to replace cinder blocks in wall - DoItYourself.com Community Forums
		Just replace the blocks that were removed, make sure the hole is square and fit in the blocks, use type S motar, the other blocks are probaly not filled solid a small hole for an AC does not hurt the integerty of the wall, triyng to cut out the other blocks will cause more damage
		If you have trouble getting the top block in, dry fit it using some wood shims as spacers- then tuck point around it and pull the shims out when you have the block packed in there good and solid and repair the holes the shims left.
		If you do need to knock out some blocks- (if they were indeed "cut" they may have been cut in a bad spot as far as your layout is concerned) you just need a small 5 lb hammer and perhaps a wide cold chisel to remove all the old mortar.
