ABSTRACT:
A reinforced masonry wall system includes a foundation and layers of masonry block having aligned vertical openings formed therein. Base reinforcing members are set in the foundation and extend upright at a height approximately the same as the height of a masonry block. Covers are placed on the upper ends of the placed reinforcement members to protect the reinforcement members from falling mortar. The wall is built over the base reinforcement members. When additional vertical members are attached, the cover is removed and the ends of the reinforcing member are cleaned. An elongated reinforcing member is inserted through the aligned openings of the masonry blocks and connected to the previously attached reinforcing member. The process can be repeated to construct a wall of increased height with the reinforcing members connected in an end-to-end configuration. Tools are provided for removing the cover, cleaning the ends of the reinforcing member and tightening the newly placed reinforcing member while avoiding lifting blocks several feet over elevated vertically extending reinforcement members.
