A system for building a load bearing structure for supporting a compressive load, the system including a plurality of wooden members including: a first member including a first body having a recess therein; a second member including a second body having protrusion extending therefrom; and a third member including a third body having a recess therein; wherein the protrusion of the second member is locatable within the recess of the first or third member to interconnect the first and second or third and second members together to form the loading bearing structure, wherein the protrusion is not rotatable within the recess, and; wherein the third member has a recess with a depth greater than the height of the protrusion of the second member such that a cavity is formed between an upper inner wall of the third member and a top portion of the protrusion of the second member when the second and third members are interconnected.

A construction block (100) including a rigid outer shell (106) and a thermally insulating insert (112). The outer shell (106) defines a pair of outer shell side elements (114, 116) extending substantially vertically and substantially parallel to each other and at least one outer shell transversal element (132) extending between the outer shell side elements (114, 116). The outer shell side and transversal elements (114, 116, 132) are hollow and together define an outer shell cavity (110) delimited by the outer shell (106). The insert (112) is contained inside the outer shell cavity (110).

The present invention generally relates to a precision dry-stack masonry unit made of two spaced-apart face shells and at least one connector joining the face shells. The connector has a top surface, a right surface and a left surface. The top surface of the connector and the face shells form a horizontal channel above the connector, and the right surface and the left surface of the connector and the face shells form vertical channels to each side of the connector. Each of the channels is configured to accommodate one or more reinforcement bars.

A wall block having a block body and a vertical plane of symmetry. The block body having a front portion, a rear portion and a neck portion. The wall block including a core extending through the neck portion and dividing the neck portion into first and second neck wall members extending rearward from the front portion to the rear portion. The wall block having a flange extending downward from the block body. The wall block having a channel positioned in the rear portion of the block body. The wall block having a first plane parallel to the plane of symmetry that passes through the first neck wall member and a second plane parallel to the plane of symmetry that passes through the second neck wall member, the first and second planes being located approximately midway between the plane of symmetry and the lateral outermost points of the wall block.

The present invention comprises: an external wall installation step for forming a wall by inserting elastic pieces therein such that a core block and an exterior block elastically make contact, and coupling the same to an inner core block; a side end elastic member installation step, of a beam side end, for having an interval region at both end sides of a beam and an external wall inner surface and for fixing elastic members to an interval region; a top elastic member installation step, of a beam top to be interposed between a deck plate, which is installed at the top of the beam, and the beam; a slab forming step for installing the deck plate, a dry heating panel, and a floor finishing panel on the top elastic members; and a slab side end finishing step for sealing and finishing an interval portion among the side end surfaces of the slab and the external wall inner peripheral surface, and thus expected are effects of: ensuring shock resistance of the slab in a building constructed by using assembly-type blocks; having shock resistance, by using an elastic means for a connection region between the wall, built by the assembly-type blocks, and the slab so as to relieve the direct shock transmission; and simultaneously enabling a noise-blocking function capable of preventing shock, noise and the like, transmitted from the slab, from being transmitted to a lower floor.
