ABSTRACT:
A three-cavity, horizontal-beam-forming building block, or distribution block, with two-fold rotational symmetry about a vertical center line, has the opposite ends of each longitudinal sidewall complementarily tongued and grooved, and four like transverse webs extending above the sidewall top coplanar margins in end-beveled projections; a web face spacing (of 1:4:2:4:1) defining a slot-like narrow middle cavity, adjacent thereto, equal larger bottom-closed cavities as cells of twice slot size, and end recesses of half-slot size; and like horizontal-reinforcing-bar-locating, paired bar notches in each web top to a depth below the sidewall top margins enabling horizontal bar embedment by mortar filled to the sidewall tops.
In laying up building walls with staggered courses of similar blocks lacking closed bottoms and bar notches, and periodically a course of distribution blocks, only the bed joints between courses, and not the head joints between successively adjacent blocks in a course, are mortared, speeding up the laying, but as each floor or other appropriate vertical interval is completed with a reinforced beam block course, the narrow vertical slot spaces with vertical bars, arising from aligned alternating full slots and slots formed by adjacent half-slots of abutting blocks, and also the bottom -closed cavities or pockets of the beam blocks, are filled with grout or mortar to afford head joint bonding in vertical mortar columns and also to form horizontal beams.
