More Information
Summary:A stackable block structure system for dry stacking concrete reinforced walls which provides for alignment and leveling during construction includes a stretcher block having a recess of triangular cross-sectional configuration formed on a bottom surface and disposed intermediate a pair of coplanar, parallelly disposed laterally extending rectangular edge portions. The top surface of the stretcher block includes a flat portion disposed intermediate a pair of parallelly extending rectangular edge portions the top surfaces of which form upwardly converging surfaces of truncated triangular cross-sectional configuration. Inside sections of the top surface edge portions are configured to matingly and adjustably abut respective outside sections of the bottom surface recess surfaces of a block in an adjacent stacked row. A corner block includes a first portion of generally parallelepiped configuration and an integral second portion of similar configuration to the stretcher block.
