There's a bunch of misnomers with Concrete, some people call it cement, but cement is the cementitous material that binds it together and gives it strength. Form, Place and Finish LOL !
Some call Masonry.... Masonary, we know what you mean, but if you want to be a stickler LOL!
Cinderblock, not sure where that was derived from, someone here must know, LOL ! In the industry its referred to as concrete masonry units, or C.M.U.
There is a specification for placing concrete that states it cannot free fall a certain distance, I think it was 8'-0", after that distance you have to use a chute or trunk, so with a deep form for a wall, I remember using chutes, basically a hopper with a flex tube attached to direct the "placement" (notice I said placement, not flow LOL !!!) then the vibration device to settle it in lifts, not all at once.
Its good to know the difference, most people know what you mean, but in the technical world of engineering one might sound a little inexperienced, then you might offend someone explaining why cement is not concrete LOL ! I'll kindly stay out of that one LOL !
