Whether you realize it or not, the concrete block you are using is stronger than it was a few years ago! The National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) conducted an extensive test program of modern concrete block assemblies, and determined that the unit compressive strength properties that have been in the Code for decades were based on more variable test methods from the 1950’s through.
