New Masonry Walls and Beam-and-Block Floors Digest
The Concrete Block Association (CBA) has supported the creation of a new BRE Special Digest (SD4) for masonry walls and beam-and-block floors. This 24 page Digest explains how the requirements of the building regulations for conservation of fuel and power may be satisfied using aggregate concrete blocks. It gives information on the relevant regulations, showing various routes to compliance, together with a number of examples involving aggregate concrete block constructions. It is written for designers, architects and builders who may be considering using masonry, and for enforcers of the regulations who are assessing applications. Copies of the Digest are freely available from The Concrete Block Association, 60 Charles Street, Leicester LE1 1FB
