• Abstract:

  This report suggests criteria to be followed for the use of concrete masonry in military construction pin 1954]. It discusses the selection of materials, the preparation of drawings and specifications for the structure, the control of shrinkage cracking in walls, the erection of the walls and their painting. The report is not concerned with floors, roofs or other constructions not involving the use of concrete masonry units except insofar as such constructions affect the use of concrete masonry, particularly of concrete masonry walls. NBS may have a more current report in 1994. LWA concrete is included throughout the report as equal to NW aggregate concrete.
