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.

Claims

1. A building block comprising:

first and second exterior walls facing each other and spaced from each other, each of the walls having an outer face and inner face and a continuous peripheral edge connecting said inner and outer faces and defining a thickness therebetween;

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,

concavo-convex coupling portions formed at the continuous peripheral edge of the first exterior wall and the continuous peripheral edge of the second exterior walls adjacent the inner face surface, for concavo-convexly coupling to each adjacent block; and

a leakage preventing recess formed at the entire peripheral edge of the first exterior wall and the entire peripheral edge of the second exterior walls adjacent the outer face surface.

2. The building block of claim 1, wherein concave portions are formed at the inner peripheries of the first and second exterior walls.

3. The building block of claim 2, wherein the connecting portion has a cross section in a shape of “

”

, and both ends thereof are more protruded than end portions of the first and second exterior walls.

4. 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.

5. The building block of claim 4, wherein fixing members for fixing the heat insulator are formed at each inner wall of the first and second exterior walls.

6. The building block of claim 4, 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.

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

8. 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.

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

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.
