   try eight cubed times two. That won't allow for the web or the wall thickness.

   I  don't have a block here with me but I was thinking each cavity in a block is roughly

   8x6x6 which is 288 cu inches times two cavities per block = 576 cu inches per block.

   The walls of each cmu are tapered so this is a rough guess but it's always better to order more concrete than not enough.

   every inch of the way.

   a block will be close to 400 cubic inches per block400 x40 = 16000/1728 =9.25(cubic ft)/27 = 0.34 cubic yards.
