IMPROVED BUILDING FORM

摘要

Applicant's invention is embodied in a building block form (10) for use in constructing walls, particularly load bearing walls in residential buildings as well as in the method for use of such form blocks. The preferred embodiment of applicant's form block (10) is fashioned from high density polystyrene and exhibits conduits (26, 32) into which concrete is poured to form integral concrete columns. Each form block (10) of applicant's invention further exhibits tongue and groove features (12) for mating with adjoining form blocks (10) to define substantially any shape and size wall structure. Conduits (26, 32) of vertically adjoining form blocks (10) define extended conduits (26, 32) for concrete columns which extend the height of the wall structure. The resulting wall structure is stronger, more insect and rot resistant, and more fire resistant than many comparable structures, and environmentally beneficial in its lack of wood products.
