Product Description
Basic Use: The Ivany Block Structural System, an engineered, reinforced concrete masonry system utilizing the Ivany Block, is a revolutionary and proven concrete masonry unit. The Ivany System adds a new dimension to the performance of concrete masonry as an alternate to cast-in-place steel reinforced concrete walls. Use of the Ivany Block System provides all the necessary high demands for structural performance at cost significantly below that of reinforced concrete walls made with conventional formwork.
Ivany Block Open End units shall be manufactured with a ½ inch lip on the bottom of the block and a protrusion of the lip in the middle of the core shall be provided to hold the vertical bar in the proper position for the outside face. There will be provided two vertical slots in the web of the block for horizontal reinforcing which in turn provides hold for vertical bar inside. Special corner units shall be provided to make possible the proper placement of the horizontal corner bars.
Composition and Materials: Type- Ivany Block Open End Block; Sizes-Standard Modular Dimensions
Limitations: Use of the Ivany Block System is not a pre-engineered method of construction. The size and spacing must be determined by calculations for the particular applications.
Fire Ratings: Define hourly rating required as 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours. Ivany Block shall conform to ASTM E119 with respect to minimum thickness required for various wall assemblies.
Installation
Ivany® Block masonry units are manufactured using patented technology that ensures consistent dimensional integrity within tolerances defined by ASTM C90 for the concrete masonry units.
Laying Masonry Walls
Install Ivany Block units using the best masonry practices. Mortar used should be type M conforming to ASTM C 270. Concrete fill should be 3000 psi with a minimum slump of 8 inches. High lift grouting is allowed; grouting procedure shall conform to masonry wall construction outlined in NCMA TEK 3-2A. Grout should be ½ inch maximum size large aggregate conforming to ASTM C 476 and NCMA TEK 9-4A.
Maintenance
Ivany Block units do not require maintenance of any kind.
Cost

Ivany Blocks meet the demands for structural performance but cost less than cast-in-place steel reinforced concrete walls, making them a great alternative to consider.
These reinforced concrete blocks feature pre-slotted grooves and large cores. Easily add rebar to these specialty concrete blocks with slots, providing horizontal and vertical reinforcement to the overall structure. Even after the concrete grout is poured into the block cores, the rebar will remain properly aligned.
Ivany Block also eliminates the coordination of trades as masons lay the block, place the steel and pour the concrete grout in one continuous process, which typically means there are no jurisdictional disputes. The process of assembling Ivany Blocks is continuous and straightforward.
Ivany concrete blocks are available in 8”, 12″, and 16” bed depths.
The Ivany Block System by York Building Products is ideal for structures in the public, commercial, industrial and other municipal sectors where increased structural rigidity is required. Ivany’s versatility allows it to benefit almost any structure:
