ABSTRACT:
A structure and method for reinforcing a wall including a plurality of blocks having vertically aligned passages and a sill plate positioned on top of the blocks. An opening is formed into one of the passages and lower and intermediate reinforcing bars are inserted through the opening and into the vertically aligned passages. An aperture is formed in the sill plate above the vertically aligned passages and an upper reinforcing bar is extended through the aperture and positioned partly within the vertically aligned passages, wherein it is connected to the lower and intermediate reinforcing bars, thereby forming an elongate reinforcing member. A cementous material which cures to a hardened state is placed in the vertically aligned passages whereby the elongate reinforcing member is fixedly attached to the wall therein. An upper portion of the upper reinforcing bar is threaded and adapted to threadably receive a nut which engages the sill plate.
