Abstract of the Disclosure A building structural unit and its method of construction is disclosed. Additionally provided is a method for the building of structural arrays with a plurality of the structural units. The structural unit of the present invention provides an inner structural core portion having provides attached to the outer surface thereof load-distributing surfaces. Suitable attachment means can be provided in order to facilitate connection of a plurality of the individual units together forming a structural array such as a wall, slab, ceiling, column, or the like. The structural units can be fastened together by means of tension members such as for example threaded rods, with each individual unit being provided with bores therethrough through which the tension members or rod can pass. Bolted or like connections at the tension member ends bear upon the provided load distributing surface to complete the desired mating of the individual units. A method for connecting the units together in order to form the desired structural array allows each unit to be completely self supported structurally upon its connection to the previous unit or to the formed array itself. A first embodiment provides a substantially rectangular shaped structural unit, useful in wall construction (Figures 2 and 3); a second embodiment provides a diagonally interfacing unit, useful in the construction of slabs, ceilings and the like (Figures 4 and 5); a third embodiment also provides an alternative diagonally interfacing unit useful in slab and ceiling construction, a fourth embodiment provides a unit member suitable for column construction; in a fifth embodiment, a generally hexagonal unit structure is disclosed.
