LOAD BEARING INTERLOCKING STRUCTURAL BLOCKS, MODULAR BUILDING SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES

摘要

Construction materials intended for use as structural elements, such as structural blocks, used in the construction of buildings and civil engineering structures. The blocks can comprise hemp hurd and fibers, flax fiber, hydraulic lime and hydrated lime. In one aspect, the blocks may comprise a body shape configured so as to allow it to interlock with other blocks in the construction of a structure. Methods for manufacturing the blocks and structures comprising such materials and methods for building such structures are also disclosed.

主权项

1. A structure comprising a plurality of interlocking structural blocks, the blocks adapted for separate sections of the structure, wherein each block is made from a primarily fibrous material and a primarily lime based material, each block comprising a plurality of embedded members, one end of each member extending from one surface of the block, and a plurality of apertures extending within the block from an opposed surface of the block to the terminating end of the embedded member, the apertures adapted for engaging an extending end of an embedded member of an adjacent block.
