Masonry block constructions with polymeric coating

摘要

In the construction of a structural block wall the method includes the steps of erecting on a base a wall of mortarless structural blocks, applying to opposite faces of the wall a fibre reinforced polymeric coating and anchoring the wall to the base with the fibre reinforced coating. The resultant wall possesses a structural integrity wherein compressive loads are borne by the structure blocks and tensile loads are borne by the fibre reinforced skin extending over the surface of the wall and onto the base to anchor the wall to the base.
