Abstract
A wall construction system includes a first block having a first surface and a first void and a second block having a second surface and a second void. The second block is positioned atop the first block to define an interface plane at the adjacent first and second surfaces. The wall construction system further includes a shear member encased within cementitious material within the first and second voids at the interface plane. The cementitious material engages opposing walls of the first and second voids.
Claims21
A wall construction system, comprising:
- a first block having a first surface and a first void;
- a second block having a second surface and a second void, wherein the second block is positioned atop the first block to define an interface plane at the adjacent first and second surfaces;
- and
- a shear member encased within cementitious material within the first and second voids at the interface plane;
- wherein the cementitious material engages opposing walls of the first and second voids;
- and
- wherein the shear member is spaced apart from the opposing walls of the first and second voids.
