A building block system of a plurality of transportable, lightweight, and reusable hollow prefabricated non-masonry interlocking mortarless building blocks that have corresponding mating formations being protuberances and concavities that run vertically up the building blocks being joined together and when aligned in a staggered manner upwardly are held together with threaded reinforcement rods extending vertically between and connected to the top and bottom channels through connectable couplings and capped off with complementary cap attachments.

This invention relates to the building art, and more particularly to blocks for the construction of buildings, structures, and hardscaping items, and to a method for assembling building blocks without using mortar. A building block, configured as a parallelepiped, comprises three pairs of opposing faces, including four lateral faces and two faces constituting an upper and a lower bases, each of the faces including a plurality of elements constituting projections and recesses, wherein each of the elements is shaped as a regular pyramid with rounded edges, and the pyramid vertex angle between two opposing faces is within the range from 90 to 179.9 degrees. The projections and recesses are arranged in rows and columns, wherein the pyramid bases at each of the parallelepiped faces are arranged in a single plane which is a face of the parallelepiped, and the respective sides of the pyramid bases are parallel to the parallelepiped faces, wherein the sides of the base of a pyramid that constitutes a projection are adjacent to the respective sides of the bases of adjoining pyramids that constitute the recesses. Projections and recesses at the block faces enable coupling of four blocks, three of which having paired adjacent faces that are perpendicular to each other and in contact at the edges. Also described are various embodiments of the block and of a method for assembling building blocks.

A block for decorating an outer wall or an inner wall in construction work and a construction method for bricklaying work, and more particularly, to a wall structure using blocks and frames each having a wedge-shaped coupling part formed therein and a method of constructing a wall using the same, wherein frames, which are integrally formed with beams, slabs, and pillars of a building to serve as a frame structure, are fixed and mounted, an isosceles triangular wedge-shaped concave groove or protrusion is formed on inner surfaces of the mounted frames, and blocks and intermediate blocks, in which an isosceles triangular wedge-shaped concave groove or protrusion is formed, are laid on the frames, thereby solving a disadvantage of bricklaying work in that it is vulnerable to horizontal vibration and improving seismic performance.

A method for retrofitting a preexisting wall to include bullet resistance. The retrofitted wall incorporates ballistic paver blocks that are capable of augmenting either an interior or exterior wall. The flexibility gained by using ballistic paver blocks affords cost and weight savings over traditional concrete, or alternatively, metal shielding.
