ABSTRACT:
A hollow building-block-type module for a wall construction that utilizes a plurality of such modules laid up with mortared joints in staggered courses and with horizontal and vertical reinforcing bars embedded in concrete poured into the spaces or voids within the hollow blocks. The module comprises parallel side walls joined by vertical webs to define an integral void between adjacent webs of the module and voids between adjacent webs of abutting modules. The voids in each course are vertically aligned in stacks with voids of other courses and the webs are provided with notches for locating the horizontal reinforcing bars away from an adjacent side wall. The module also has lips projecting inwardly from the side walls defining an integral void so that a vertical rod inserted in a stack of voids between a side wall and the horizontal reinforcing bars is also spaced away from the interior surface of the respective side walls of the vertically aligned voids. Further, at least some of the lips have a centrally located, inwardly projecting divider element with a greater inward extension than the lip itself so as to position a vertical reinforcing bar entirely on one side of the vertically aligned divider elements of a vertical stack of voids. The divider element restricts undesired inclination or vertical misalignment of the respective vertical reinforcing bar.
