Since 1882, when the first concrete block was cast, concrete masonry units have  become a standard building material. Concrete blocks create structures that are economical, energy efficient, fire-resistant, and require minimal maintenance.   The CMU- concrete masonry unit - or standard concrete block is a rectangular 8X8X16-inch unit made mainly of Portland cement, gravel, sand, and water. Concrete masonry is widely used to construct small and large structures. The most common application of concrete masonry is walls for buildings. However, other uses for concrete masonry units include retaining walls, chimneys, fireplaces, fire safe enclosures of stairwells, elevator shafts, and storage vaults.
