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.

Masonry Block With Partial Cells
20180245345 · 2018-08-30 ·

A masonry block configured to be larger than conventional two cell masonry block yet include cells that align with conventional cells in conventional two cell masonry blocks is disclosed. Thus, the masonry block disclosed herein may be used together with conventional two cell masonry blocks. In addition, the masonry block configured to be larger than conventional two cell masonry block may be formed from materials lighter than conventional materials yet possessing similar strength. As such, a mason is able to assembly more of a wall with the masonry block per unit of time using the masonry block disclosed herein than a conventional block. In at least one embodiment, a mason is able to lay about 50% more liner feet of block with the masonry block herein than using conventional two cell masonry block. Thus, the masonry block disclosed herein enables masons to realize substantial labor cost savings per job.
