ABSTRACT:
A building construction modular system utilizing interlocking building blocks made of aggregate material and having opposite side faces vertically and horizontally offset from the main body portion of the block. A structure, such as a wall, is erected by laying superimposed horizontal courses of vertically interlocked blocks, the blocks of a course being interlockingly supported by the blocks of the subjacent course. Each block element is provided with a vertically disposed passage or aperture and with a vertically directed recess at each lateral end of the block where it interlocks with an adjoining block element and the integrally formed transverse walls joining the side faces of each block are appropriately apertured such that, after the wall has been erected, cement is poured into the block structure from the tops of the blocks on the upper course, so as to flow vertically and horizontally through the passages and apertures within the blocks. Once set, the cement forms a lattice disposed inside the blocks, which strongly adheres to the interior surface of the blocks and rigidly holds the blocks in position. If so required, reinforcing metal rods or other elements are disposed horizontally and vertically through the passages prior to pouring the cement. The offset end faces of the blocks provide effective dams preventing the seepage of the liquid cement to the outside surface of the wall. The invention further contemplates appropriate corner blocks, wall end blocks, and interior wall connecting blocks, such that a complete system of modular element construction is provided by the invention.
