A brick for masonry construction, including: first and second identical rectangular cuboids; and a third rectangular cuboid fixed between the first and second rectangular cuboids, wherein the fixing disposes the first and second rectangular cuboids parallel to one another, and wherein size of the third rectangular cuboid and the fixing thereof forms at least one niche being parallel to at least one thin facet of the first rectangular cuboid and being disposed between the first and second rectangular cuboids.

A polyurethane foam block can include a base having a plurality of recesses and a top surface having a plurality of connective components protruding outward from the top surface where each connective component of the plurality of connective components can align with a recess of the plurality of recesses. The polyurethane foam block can include a plurality of sidewalls extending upward from the base and defining an interior and a plurality of partitions extending from the base to the top surface to divide the block into a plurality of cavities. A wall can include base blocks and header blocks. The header blocks can be shaped and constructed similarly to the base blocks with one exception being the header blocks can include an-upward facing channel cutout. The wall can include a beam extending through channels of header blocks.

The present disclosure relates to the building industry and in particular to a block for use in automated building construction. In one aspect, the block comprises a generally cuboid body having a top and a base, a length extending between a pair of opposed ends, and a width extending between a pair of opposed sides; the body including a plurality of hollow cores extending from said top to said base, and arranged in a row between said opposed ends; wherein each core has a rectilinear cross-sectional shape; and wherein the thickness of the block between each pair of adjacent cores is at least double the thickness of the block on all other sides of each core, so that the block is divisible into a plurality of substantially identical block portions, each portion including four walls of substantially uniform wall thickness about its core.

An interlocking system of modular units engageable to form vertically and horizontally stable assemblies. The modular units include blocks and modular panels, each having vertical and optional horizontal bores that provide passage for plumbing, electrical wiring, and other connectivity. The modular units may be formed of lightweight cementitious materials, and may find use in assemblies such as walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, and entire building structures.

The present invention relates to structure members having a body made of a composite material comprising at least one type of fiber and at least one type of resin, and pluralities of connection extensions which are one-piece with said body in order to provide connection to another structure member with the same properties, and the present invention relates to a structure formed by said structure members.

A radiation shielding block for constructing structural walls having flat opposed front and rear surfaces defining a thickness of the block, continuously curved, sinusoidal opposed left and right surfaces and top and bottom surfaces. The continuously curved, sinusoidal surfaces have a regular repeating wavelength pattern having a wave direction that is perpendicular to the flat front and rear surfaces, and a length that is two complete wavelengths of a sinusoidal wave. A plurality of the radiation shielding blocks are stackable in a staggered wythe construction having a plurality of wythes and at least one successive course of blocks set atop a previous course of blocks such that the continuously curved, sinusoidal surfaces of the successive course of blocks engage complementary continuously curved, sinusoidal surfaces of the previous course of blocks, and the successive course of blocks is offset by one wavelength from the previous course in a front-rear direction.

The invention is a system and method for building a polar zonohedron structure from precast cement panels. The building system may include a plurality of panels configured to register with each other. Each panel includes a precast cement base with side walls enclosing a cavity within the precast cement base. The panels include at least one ridge protruding from at least one surface of a side wall of the panel and at least one aperture on at least one surface of a side wall of the panel. Each ridge is preferable configured to interlock with each aperture; in his way, the panels interlock with each other to form the polar zonohedron structure.

The invention relates to a construction block (2) made of inert material, such as concrete, comprising two opposite main faces (4, 6), an upper face (8), a lower face (10), and two opposite lateral faces (12, 14), the upper and lower faces (8, 10) and the lateral faces (12, 14) having, respectively, complementary reliefs that are able to interlock when several of the blocks are juxtaposed. The relief of the upper face (8) comprises two tenons (16) extending in parallel and at a distance from the two main faces (4, 6), respectively, and the relief of the lower face (10) comprises two corresponding slots (16′) extending in parallel and at a distance from the two main faces (4, 6), respectively.
