BLOCK FORMS FOR RECEIVING CONCRETE

摘要

A foam block wall system (10) is formed from a plurality of interconnected individual foam blocks (12). The individual foam blocks (12) have a plurality of vertically oriented, quadrilateral core members (24) spaced evenly within the block (12). The spaces between the core members (24) define a plurality of vertically oriented chambers which receive liquid concrete (25). A plurality of connectors (40, 70) serve to connect the individual blocks (12) into an integrated structure. A generally U-shaped bracket (70) is secured to the floor or other supporting structure to provide support for the bottom layer of blocks. A generally H-shaped connector (40) rests between successive vertical layers to provide both vertical and lateral stability. Generally U-shaped connectors (100) connect adjacent blocks (12) to provide vertical and lateral stability. A cabling system secures the individual blocks to the floor, also providing vertical and lateral support.
