ABSTRACT:
Lightweight building structures constructed by assembling a plurality of building blocks in contiguous end to end relationship. The blocks have spaced apart and parallel opposite longitudinal walls and opposite transverse members integrally connecting said walls so as to define a substantially rectangular inner space. The top of the transverse members of at least a portion of the blocks are at a lower level than the tops of the longitudinal walls so that horizontally extending reinforcing bars may be positioned therein. Vertically extending reinforcing bars which may be surrounded by reinforcing loops are also positioned within the inner spaces defined by the contiguous blocks. Mortar is charged to the inner spaces defined by contiguous blocks to unite the blocks and reinforcing members. V-shaped vertical edges are provided on the longitudinal walls of a block to provide stronger joints between blocks. Blocks having longitudinal walls of different lengths and flat vertical edges are used to provide L-shaped, T-shaped and cross-shaped corners. In certain embodiments of the building structures, sound or heat insulating materials are positioned within the inner rectangular spaces to provide sound and heat insulating properties.
