Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing lightweight concrete composite blocks includes a form, a station conveyor, a form-loading station, a form assembly station, a curing oven, and a block removal station. The station conveyor conveys the form or a multitude of forms around the apparatus in a continuous loop to produce a desired rate of production of lightweight concrete composite blocks. The form-loading station fills the form with a lightweight concrete composite. The form assembly station assembles the form to seal the composite within the form. The curing oven cures the lightweight concrete composite into a lightweight concrete composite block. The block removal station removes the lightweight concrete composite block from the form prior to the return of the form to the form-loading station for re-use.

Abstract: A reinforced masonry wall system includes a foundation and layers of masonry block having aligned vertical openings formed therein. Base reinforcing members are set in the foundation and extend upright at a height approximately the same as the height of a masonry block. Covers are placed on the upper ends of the placed reinforcement members to protect the reinforcement members from falling mortar. The wall is built over the base reinforcement members. When additional vertical members are attached, the cover is removed and the ends of the reinforcing member are cleaned. An elongated reinforcing member is inserted through the aligned openings of the masonry blocks and connected to the previously attached reinforcing member. The process can be repeated to construct a wall of increased height with the reinforcing members connected in an end-to-end configuration.
