Abstract: A one-piece, durable plastic block for forming concrete structures wherein uncured concrete is poured into the block which has been laid in brick-like fashion with a plurality of similar blocks, and where the block becomes an integral part of the resulting concrete structure providing strength thereto. The block has a generally rectangular shaped housing with an open top and bottom. Lateral tensive strengthening is provided by a plurality of cross straps disposed across the open top and bottom of the block and include a connecting device to attach to overlying or underlying blocks. Each end wall of the block has a connecting device for attaching it to the end wall of an adjacently placed block. There is also a notch at the top and bottom of each end wall providing for the continuity of concrete between blocks and to allow the installation of reinforcing bars across this interface.
