Abstract: An alignment strut for use in constructing prefabricated walls comprises a reusable sheet metal strut having an interior pocket accommodating a lumber two by four which serves as a splice bar between adjacent struts and as a brace anchor point. Each strut is provided with means for suspending it on the upper edge of the marginal plates of a prefabricated wall structure and bears against such plates below their upper margins.

Abstract: A pre-fabricated consumable spacer extender on locking plate for use with a consumable wall assembly for forming a concrete wall in order to form a column or pilaster. A plate or plates are adapted to engage and lock two or more tie members of the wall assembly in an extended length greater than the normal width of a wall block assembly which is usually one tie member in width.The consumable locking plate includes preformed slots to mate with projections on said tie members wherein when assembled the projections may be distorted to fixedly lock the tie members together creating a rigid strength member to assure proper columns when the assembly is filled with concrete.
