A module for realizing modular building structures comprises a bearing block having pairs of flat faces with complementary shaped joints for coupling with further similar modules arranged in side by side position, means for anchoring the bearing block to bearing blocks of side-by-side modules for realizing the building structure. The anchoring means comprise one pair of passages mutually perpendicular and staggered along a first transverse direction, the passages extending in the block from respective flat faces. The anchoring means also comprise reinforcing bars adapted to be inserted in a pair of consecutive passages belonging to two mutually side-by-side modules to define a reinforcement meshed armor. Each bar has ends associated with male and female connecting elements for coupling with facing ends of contiguous bars belonging to a side-by-side module.

The invention relates to a stone, in particular a dam stone for a flood dam. In order to be able to build a stable flood dam in an easy way, according to the invention a cover surface is provided with at least two ribs and an opposing base surface is provided with at least two grooves corresponding to the ribs so as to create an indirect connection between two stones by means of a third stone that can be detached by applying a tensile force perpendicular to the base surface. The invention further relates to the use of such a stone. In addition, the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a mass retention structure, in particular a flood dam.

The present disclosure generally pertains to blocks for building landscape walls and similar structures, the molds used to make the blocks, and the methods for making the blocks. Such block can be securely coupled to another block. A block can be vertically coupled to another block by coupling the dorsal face of one block to the ventral face of another block. The block can be horizontally coupled by coupling the male side of one block to the female side of another block. A secure, exemplary landscape wall may be created by coupling the blocks both horizontally and vertically to reach a desired height, width, and shape.
