What is Block Fill[edit | edit source]
I spent a lot of time googling and couldn't find another name for it so block fill it is.
Block fill is a mixture that is poured into blocks that have holes in them, specifically in the ones that contain the rebar. Rebar is a reinforcing steel used when building with blocks to provide tensile strength. Block fill provides further strength for the rebar and can also be poured into the other holes.
