Types of Concrete Blocks - Structural Guide
Mainly there are two types of concrete blocks depending on how they look like other than the mechanical properties. Solid Blocks. Normally blocks have a rectangular solid shape. Usually, they are available in widths 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, and 200mm. Hollow Concrete Blocks. As the name implies, it is a hollow section with a regular shape.

16 Different types of slabs in construction | Where to use?
This is one of the types of concrete slabs. In this type of slab, cables are tied instead of reinforcement. In Steel reinforcement, the spacing between bars is 4inch to 6inch whereas in Post tension slab the spacing is more than 2m. Advantages of Post tension slab: It allows slabs and other structural members to be thinner.

Further development of the concrete pile led to the precast pile and, relatively recently, to the prestressed concrete pile. The need for extremely long piles with high bearing capacity led to the use of concrete-filled steel-pipe piles about 50 to 60 years ago.
