Abstract: This study explores the differences between concrete blocks and white blocks, two commonly used materials in the construction industry. Concrete blocks, typically made from a mixture of cement, sand, and aggregates, are known for their strength, durability, and versatility in various building applications. In contrast, white blocks, which are often composed of materials such as lightweight aggregates or aerated concrete, are valued for their lighter weight, thermal insulation properties, and aesthetic appeal. The paper examines key factors such as material composition, structural performance, thermal efficiency, cost, environmental impact, and applications. It highlights how concrete blocks are more commonly used for load-bearing walls and structural integrity, while white blocks are preferred for non-load-bearing applications where insulation and appearance are priorities. Additionally, the study addresses the environmental implications of both materials, focusing on sustainability and resource consumption. Ultimately, the comparison provides insights into the strengths and limitations of each material, helping to inform material selection based on specific project requirements and objectives.
Keywords: concrete blocks, white blocks, strength, durability, construction industry.
