Various embodiments described herein relate to improved structural construction using blocks. The block may comprise polystyrene (or the like) and be configured to be used with various types of building materials, including concrete, earth, and other pourable building materials. For some embodiments, the block comprises one or more exterior surfaces having one or more notches disposed thereon. Depending on the embodiment, a given notch on an exterior surface may be configured to facilitate the cutting of the block, assist in adhesion of a coating layer applied to the exterior surfaces, or both. In some embodiments, a given notch of the block may vary in depth and shape with respect to another notch of the block. Additionally, the depth and shape of a given notch may vary between different embodiments. |
