A sound barrier wall has a plurality of footings spaced apart and vertical I beam wall stiffeners mounted to the footings. Alternatively, the vertical wall stiffeners are mounted to a crash barrier. A horizontal wall stiffener can be disposed between the adjacent vertical wall stiffeners. A plurality of wall panels is vertically stacked between adjacent vertical wall stiffeners. Each wall panel includes a sound insulating block, and plurality of support members disposed on opposite sides of the sound insulating block for providing structural support. Each support member has a head portion in contact with a surface of the sound insulating block and a stem portion extending into the sound insulating block. An I beam can be disposed between the vertically stacked wall panels. A top cap is mounted over the vertically stacked wall panels and protective layer is formed over the wall panels and vertical wall stiffeners.

This application relates to a method of manufacturing a load-bearing hemp shiv concrete blocks using magnesium-based cement, the method including: measuring proportional parts of ingredients: a hemp shiv in 70-75% proportion by volume; a Magnesium Oxychloride Cement (MOC) in 20-25% proportion by volume; and water in 5-10% proportion by volume. The method includes depositing the measured ingredients in a mixer and mixing for a time period appropriate to the conditions to produce a slurry, wherein the time period is between ten minutes and thirty minutes; removing the slurry from the mixer; depositing the slurry into one or more molds comprising a frame with a lockable lid and a removable base; pressing, via a press, the slurry in the molds to a suitable level; allowing the pressed slurry to set and cure within the sealed molds to produce one or more load-bearing fiber based concrete blocks; removing the one or more load-bearing hemp shiv concrete blocks from the one or more molds by removing the lid of the molds.

An insulating wall assembly features a plurality of insulation panels fitted together end-to-end and each having least one slot in a side thereof facing into an interior space of a building. At each slot, a respective set of supports each have an insertion portion engaged in the slot and a fastening portion reaching outwardly from said slot past the first face of the insulation panel. A respective framing member is fastened to each set of supports with a longitudinal dimension of said framing member running along the slot in which said set of supports are engaged. Each framing member has a first leg fastened face-to-face with the fastening portions of the respective set of supports and a second leg facing away from the insulation panels to present a surface for fastening of wall-finishing panels thereto. Holes in the supports accommodate electrical wiring or other lines within the finished wall assembly.
