MASONRY BLOCK MADE OF HEAT-INSULATING MATERIAL, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A MASONRY STRUCTURE FROM SUCH A MASONRY BLOCK

摘要

The masonry block made of heat-insulating material serves for producing a masonry structure which has vertical uprights and horizontal crossmembers, integrally connected to said uprights, in a regular arrangement in the form of a concrete grid. The uprights and crossmembers of the load-bearing concrete grid are enclosed on all sides by heat insulation. Said heat insulation is formed from masonry blocks 1 which can be laid in place. Each masonry block 1 has, on one bearing plane 2, a lengthwise duct 3 and at least one circumferentially closed channel 4. The cross-sectional surface area of the duct 3 is approximately half the size of the cross-sectional surface area of the circumferentially closed channel 4. The circumferentially closed channel 4 passes vertically through the masonry block, over the height thereof, and the duct 3 and channel 4 intersect at right angles. The bearing plane which is located opposite the bearing plane 2 with the duct 3 is planar. The height of the masonry block is approximately 250 mm at most. The masonry block consists preferably of retempered polystyrene and cement, if appropriate with aggregates. IMAGE
