Concrete hollow block masonry are nowadays a common practice to be provided as infill walls inReinforced Concrete structures due to their improved sound and fire proofing properties. Moreover, its low cost and easyand robust construction has also boosted their use in construction industry. This research focusses on finding themechanical properties of concrete hollow block masonry. Water absorption test on CMU, compressive strength test onCMU, compressive strength test on mortar cubes and compressive strength test on grout has been conducted and shownpromising result.
