Block for use in automated building construction
11608633 · 2023-03-21 · ·

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.

Methods, Systems, and Kits for Building Interlocking Seawalls
20220042306 · 2022-02-10 ·

This disclosure provides methods, systems, and kits for building seawalls using mechanically interlocking blocks. The interlocking blocks have interiors that can be filled with sand, gravel, or cementitious material after formation of a wall. The interlocking blocks that can be connected on any side to form a structure, wall, foundation, floor, building, flotation device, gardening structure, or toy. The interlocking blocks typically comprise center openings and connecting openings on each side and can be connected with hardware through the connecting openings. The center openings allow for materials such as pipes, wires, conduit, and rebar to pass through interlocked blocks. Connected blocks can also be filled with fortifying material to strengthen the structure. Sides of connected blocks can be covered with faceplates to direct flow of fortifying material and aid in the creation of desired configurations. Also provided are connectors for connecting sides of the interlocking blocks.

PRE-INSULATED BLOCK
20220081902 · 2022-03-17 ·

An insulated block includes two sides and a self-adhering foam core joined to the two sides during the curing of the foam core. The foam core includes protrusions and recessions to facilitate joining of each insulated block with another insulated block. The insulated block is configured to be joined to other insulated blocks to create a structure or foundation which does not require mortar.

Modular building blocks and building system
11149433 · 2021-10-19 ·

Devices, structures, and methods for designing, constructing, and fitting modular structural building blocks together into a unified structure. Modular blocks are rapidly fit together into finished assemblies. Finished assemblies include reinforcing elements aligned in a structurally sound pattern. The unified structure includes walls, provisions for corners, and provisions for door/window spaces. The unified structure optionally includes raised floors or lowered ceilings, offset from ordinary associated height, using blocks disposed side-by-side with intermediate supports. The unified structure optionally includes one or more curved structures, such as vaulted ceilings, rounded walls or silos, tunnels, or otherwise.

Insulatable Cementitious Building Block
20210102374 · 2021-04-08 ·

The insulatable cementitious building block is a concrete block formed with first, second, and third spaced parallel rectangular walls, where the second wall is half the height of and is intermediate to the first and third walls. First and second vertical end cross webs connect the first and second walls from the bottom of the first and second walls to the height of the second wall. First and second spaced intermediate vertical cross webs are in planes between the planes of the end cross webs and connect the second and third walls. These intermediate cross webs are also from the bottom of the second and third wall to the height of the second wall. The first, second, and third walls together with the cross webs form openings that accommodate inserts. Alternatively, the spaces may be filled with liquid expandable foam.

Interlocking construction block
