Block bricks yog ib hom tshiab ntawm cov khoom siv phab ntsa, nrog rau feem ntau cov duab plaub hexahedron zoo li thiab ntau yam tsis sib xws. Block bricks yog cov khoom tsim los ntawm cov pob zeb, cov khoom pov tseg (slag, thee hmoov, thiab lwm yam), los yog cov khoom siv pov tseg. Lawv muaj cov yam ntxwv ntawm tus qauv loj, ua tiav cov tsos, thiab kev tsim kho yooj yim, thiab ua tau raws li cov kev cai ntawm kev hloov kho phab ntsa hauv kev txhim kho lub tsev industrialization. Blocks thiab loj blocks yog siv. Thaum xaiv tag nrho tsis siv neeg thaiv cov cuab yeej siv lub tshuab masonry, xaiv cov khoom siv nrog qib siab ntawm automation, uas txhim kho kev ua haujlwm zoo.

Piv txwv li, phab ntsa thaiv cib, tus kheej rwb thaiv tsev cib, khoom cib, thiab lwm yam siv hauv kev tsim vaj tsev, dej nqes hav masonry, xim (permeable) txoj kev cib rau lub nroog square landscaping, zoo nkauj blocks, curbstones, curbstones, thiab tag nrho cov tsis siv neeg thaiv cov masonry khoom rau cog thiab txhim kho cov nyiaj khib nyiab ntau. Kev tsim cov pob zeb cib ua cov khoom siv ntsuab ntsuab muaj cov txiaj ntsig zoo xws li kev txo qis ib puag ncig kev ua qias tuaj, txuag cov nqi tsim khoom, nce nqi vaj tse, txo lub tsev nws tus kheej seismic tsis kam, thiab lwm yam Nws lub teeb yuag, thermal rwb thaiv tsev, suab rwb thaiv tsev, rwb thaiv tsev, formaldehyde dawb, benzene dawb, tsis muaj kuab paug, tsis muaj kuab paug, noo noo-pov thawj, thiab lwm yam zoo li lub teb chaws txhawb zog.
