masonry made of hollow bricks


Explanation:
Hul er absolutt korrekt her - det er altså murstein som har lavere vekt, siden de ikke er kompakte. Dessuten brukes åpningene gjerne til å sette inn armeringsmateriale på tvers av og mellom lagene.

Explanation:
I'm presuming that "teglhulblokker" should read "teglhusblokker", although I don't get any hits on Google with that.

Asker: Thanks for your reply eodd. They have referred to this as "teglhullblokker" further on in the text, so I am assuming that's what they mean here. I was thinking hollow bricks, but is there a more technical name for them I wonder?
