Abstract: A system for anchoring a wall including superposed rows of construction blocks to an adjacent upstanding structure, each row including a plurality of the construction blocks, the system comprising: an inter-block element insertable between adjacent ones of the construction blocks and securable thereto; and an anchor including an anchoring portion securable to the upstanding structure and a coupler, the coupler securing the anchor and the inter-block element to each other with the anchoring portion at a predetermined distance from the inter-block element and such that with the anchoring portion operatively secured to the upstanding structure and the inter-block element operatively inserted between the adjacent ones of the construction blocks and secured thereto, the anchoring portion and the inter-block element are movable vertically relative to each other over a predetermined range of motion with the anchor remaining secured to the inter-block element. Also a wall including the system.

Abstract: A lintel for use in supporting construction blocks over an aperture in a wall including the construction blocks, the lintel comprising a lintel body defining substantially longitudinally opposed end sections and an intermediate section extending therebetween, the lintel body defining a block supporting element in the intermediate section for supporting the construction blocks over the aperture; and a pair of end elements each mounted to a respective one of the end sections, each of the end elements defining a lintel supporting element for supporting the lintel in the wall between adjacent rows of the construction block on a respective side of the aperture. Each of the end elements is securable to a respective lintel body end section at upper and lower positions relative thereto. Also, a wall including the lintel.
