I am laying a 10″ concrete block foundation wall with a 20 degree angle . I can mitre each block at the angle however that would leave the corner with no interlocking strength. Is there a method that would allow the blocks to interlock at this angled corner, like a regular corner.

miter the turns..
use vertical rebar up thru the cells and pour solid w/ CC...

WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
thank you
It seems like the best option.
thanks again
BTW...
there should be 1 cell at the miter and it would be a good thing to pour at least one cell to either side of the miter...
if in doubt pour 2 cells to either side...
and the rebar should be anchored into the footer..will you have a tie beam???Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->
