An insulated construction panel having a top end, a bottom end, a first end, a second end, a front side and a rear side, the panel for constructing a single or multi-thickness concrete form, the panel including regularly spaced coplanar passages extending completely through the panel from the top end of the panel toward and through to the bottom end of the panel. For each of the regularly spaced coplanar passages, an angular passage perpendicularly intersecting each coplanar passage at the top end and extending toward and through a portion of a front side surface of the front side and rear side surface of the rear side of the panel, each angular passage extending only partially through the panel from the top end toward the bottom end. For each of the regularly spaced coplanar passages, an angular passage perpendicularly intersecting each coplanar passage at the bottom end and extending toward and through a portion of the front side surface of the front side and the rear side surface of rear side of the panel, each angular passage extending only partially through the panel from the bottom end toward the top end.

A building block and a set of modular building elements is intended for construction of foundational and wall structures. The building block comprises a plurality of outer walls, a cavity, at least one inner wall, and at least two connecting elements. The outer walls are arranged in an n-gon shape surrounding the cavity and the cavity is open on both lower and upper sides. The cavity is divided by the inner wall into at least two parts. At least one part is adapted for the insertion of an insulating insert. Each connecting element is adapted for insertion into the cavity. The first connecting element is intended for insertion into the cavity of a different one of two neighbouring building blocks of a different row than the second connecting element. Each connecting element is attached to a wall of the building block and offset from that wall in a direction towards the inside of the cavity. Each connecting element comprises a wall of the connecting element protruding from a respective wall of the building block. The wall of the connecting element comprises a free end and side edges. The side edges approach each other from a place of attachment to the wall towards the free end. An insulating layer at least partially surrounds a part of the cavity adapted for the insertion of the insulating insert. The set of modular building elements comprises foundation building blocks comprising the cavity enclosed by the solid bottom and hollow building blocks.

A reinforced masonry includes at least one wall panel (M) having at least one accessible face (F) almost vertical and adjacent to a set of respective almost horizontal curb elements (C). Each curb element (C) is associated with the at least one wall panel (M). The reinforced masonry (1) includes a plurality of rod elements (3) fixed, individually or in bundles and by use of fixing material (5), within respective hollow seats (7) carried out, almost vertically and mutually spaced, at least in the accessible face (F) of the at least one wall panel (M). The reinforced masonry (1) further includes, for each seat or group of hollow seats (7), a first reinforcing element (9) fixed to portions of the at least one accessible face (F) of the wall panel (M) which are adjacent to the longitudinal development of the seat or group of hollow seats (7).

A insulated masonry wall system having insulation blocks between structural and face blocks to provide structures that are strong, inexpensive, avoid thermal bridges, and resist transmission of heat. The walls are attractive and versatile, and an enormous variety of decorative face members may be utilized. The face blocks are attached to the structural blocks to prevent facing materials from falling even if fire destroys the insulation blocks between the structural blocks and the facing. The system resists water penetration and effectively drains water that does penetrate any portion of the system.

A fire resistant structural masonry assembly has a plurality of connected triangular masonry units, end caps, minor corners, major corners, lintels, and rebar. Mortar is affixed to the first and second mortar beds and of the triangular masonry units and between the first end cap mortar bed and the first side or the second side of the triangular masonry unit. The R value of a plurality of connected load supporting walls have an R value greater than a standard brick. The fire resistant structural masonry assembly has an overall weight less than identically sized concrete block units (CMU) and clay brick, wherein the chase of the triangular masonry unit is adapted to receive wiring and insulation.
