How cinder block is made?

Cinder blocks differ from concrete blocks in other ways besides their hollow design. Concrete blocks are made from slurry of Portland cement and small aggregate, such as small stones or gravel. Cinder blocks, on the other hand, are made from a combination of Portland cement and cinders, the dusty remnants of burned coal. The result is a lighter weight block formed into a rectangular masonry block. Although many people use the terms "cinder blocks" and "concrete blocks" interchangeably, a true cinder block will always be lighter than a concrete block, and the texture of cinder blocks may be rougher than finished concrete blocks. When bricklayers work with cinder blocks, they generally use techniques similar to standard brick lying. The alternative rows of cinder blocks are carefully offset so that the second layer stabilizes the first. A line of mortar is put down between cinder blocks, so the actual dimensions of a standard cinder block may be adjusted slightly to accommodate the mortar. Corners may be finished out with half blocks, or interlaced to create a four-cornered structure.
