ABSTRACT Current wall building methods using modular blocks generally employ materials such as concrete, clay, stone,mud and glass, erected with the vertical joints staggered, and relying upon a mortar or other adhesive to bind adjoining surfaces to provide the desired structural lateral stability. The degree of verticality and flatness of the finished wall is however in direct proportion to the ability of the erector to lay true and even beds, and to continually "adjust" the separate units as the wall grows. In this invention the modular block is rigid insulation, with various holes running vertically through the block from top to bottom. The block may be manufactured using either extrusion or casting methods, either of which will provide a perfectly true unit, with all sides flat and of exact dimension. The block, being lighter in weight than conventional block materials, is much larger in size, and is erected in stretcher bond, but with all joints DRY. Lateral stability of the wall is effected by the use of pegs of similar rigid insulation, which are driven through the holes of the blocks vertically,each peg penetrating 50% into each of the blocks above and below. The wall system of building these blocks relies upon friction for basic strength, together with a staggered horizontal and vertical bond with the pegs providing a resistance against bending. The pegs offer also the ability to provide an absolutely flat interior and exterior surface of the wall, since each peg locates the blocks above each other with absolute accuracy. The wall system offers also the advantage of being fast in erection time, and can be accomplished without the use of skilled labour. The block and peg sizes and shapes will be adjusted to suit the heights of walls required, and the desired friction and bending moments required.
