Why Do Concrete Blocks Have Holes. • how does concrete spalling cause structural failure if not repaired? Imagine lugging around solid blocks all day — ouch! Rebar is typically run through those holes and then concrete poured in to fill them. These holes also help to insulate the building from loud sounds, reducing noise pollution inside. Visit our concrete and concrete block page for other related blog posts on this subject, or go to the Due to their voids, concrete hollow blocks are much lighter than solid blocks. But the primary purpose of the cells is that they align from. Concrete and cinder blocks are hard and insulate well, but they don't maintain structural integrity under any small amount. The openings are called “cells” and one reason they are there is because they make the blocks lighter and easier for a mason to handle. They are lighter and are often used in building large structures because the holes reduce dead load and make it easier to run wiring, piping, or rebar. Since many people choose to fill their concrete blocks, you might wonder why they have holes in the middle to begin with. With their hollow cores, it’s simple to lay several rows of concrete blocks and ensure they’re aligned properly. The primary reason for the holes is weight reduction. They’re lighter than regular concrete blocks. Concrete blocks have holes in the middle primarily for alignment purposes.
