Abstract

The present invention relates to a building block serving as a mold when carrying out civil engineering and construction works and forming an external appearance of a structure, a building structure and a method of bricking a wall using the same. The building block comprises first and second exterior walls facing each other and spacing from each other in back and forth directions, and a connecting portion connecting the first and second exterior walls to each other and having an upper portion provided with a first mounting groove for mounting a width-directional reinforcing bar. Here, concavo-convex coupling portions are formed at inner peripheries of the first and second exterior walls, for concavo-convexly coupling to each adjacent block, and here, leakage preventing recesses are respectively formed at outer peripheries of the first and second exterior walls.

8. The building block of claim 6 or 7, wherein both ends of the connecting portion, in back and forth directions are protruded by a degree equal to or more than the convex portions of the upper and lower peripheries.

9. The building block of claim 1, further comprising a heat insulator established at a space formed by the first and second exterior walls and the connecting portion.

10. The building block of claim 9, wherein fixing members for fixing the heat insulator are formed at each inner wall of the first and second exterior walls.

11. The building block of claim 9, wherein a second mounting groove for mounting the width-directional reinforcing bar is formed on an upper surface of the heat insulator so as to match the first mounting groove.

12. The building block of claim 1, wherein a pipe hole for distributing a wire or laying a pipe is formed at least one of the first and second exterior walls.

13. The building block of claim 1, wherein detachable surface protecting films are respectively attached onto outer wall surfaces of the first and second exterior walls.

14. The building block of claim 1, wherein the first and second exterior walls and the connecting portion are formed of a ceramic material.

15. The building block of claim 1, wherein the building block is a plane block having a “

—

”

shaped plane or a corner block having a “

”

shaped plane.

16. The building block of claim 1, wherein the building block is a three-directional intermediate block having a “

”

shaped plane, and wherein the second exterior wall has planes divided into a “

”

shaped portion and a “

”

shaped portion, and is provided with a connecting portion connecting the two portions of the second exterior wall and having an upper portion provided with a mounting groove for mounting a width-directional reinforcing bar.

17. The building block of claim 1, wherein the building block is a four-directional intermediate block having a “

”

shaped plane, and wherein the first exterior wall has planes divided into a “

”

shaped portion and a “

”

shaped portion, the second exterior wall has planes divided into a “

”

shaped portion and a “

”

shaped portion, a connecting portion connecting the two portions of the first exterior wall and having an upper portion provided with a mounting groove for mounting a width-directional reinforcing bar is provided, and a connecting portion connecting the two portions of the second exterior wall and having an upper portion provided with a mounting groove for mounting a width-directional reinforcing bar is provided.

18. A building structure using four types of building blocks (first to fourth blocks) in accordance with claim 1, comprising:

a first line in which the first and second blocks are concavo-convexly coupled to each other and adhered to each other, alternatively right and left, and a width-directional reinforcing bar mounted at first mounting grooves of the first and second blocks is provided;

a second line in which the third and fourth blocks are concave-convexly coupled to each other and adhered to each other, alternatively right and left, and a width-directional reinforcing bar mounted at first mounting grooves of the third and fourth blocks is provided;

length-directional reinforcing bars placed in the first to fourth blocks; and
