A concrete masonry unit was tested for compressive strength and produced the following results:

Failure load = 750 kN

Gross area = 0.085 m2

Gross volume = 0.013 m3

Net volume = 0.008 m3

  1. Is the unit categorized as solid or hollow?
  2. What is the compressive strength? Does the compressive strength satisfy the ASTM requirements for load bearing units?
