Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention


Present invention relates to a construction block for configuring a wall and else of a construction. This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-138646 filed in Japan on Jul. 4, 2014.


Description of Related Art


In the past, a brick formed by calcining clay molded in a shape of block, or a concrete block formed by molding and hardening a stiff-consistency concrete in a shape of block are known as a construction block.


For example, a wall separating a residential premises and a street is normally constructed by piling concrete blocks, and in some cases, by inserting reinforcements inside the concrete blocks. A size of the concrete block is standardized, and it is possible to obtain concrete blocks with various qualities, and it is easy to supply large quantities of concrete blocks inexpensively.


In concrete blocks, there are a concrete block with hollow structure (hollow concrete block) and a concrete block with solid structure (solid concrete block), and they can be sorted into a reinforced concrete block, a fill-up concrete block, a curtain wall concrete block, and else.


The reinforced concrete block is used to construct a bearing wall by arranging reinforcement at a hollow part of the hollow concrete block, and by filling concrete or mortar into the hollow part. The fill-up concrete block is used to construct a bearing wall by configuring a frame by combining the concrete blocks in the shape of L, T, H, and else, and by filling concrete into inside of the frame. Further, the curtain wall concrete block is used to construct a wall body by laying blocks between rigid frame of steel-framed or reinforced concrete structure.


In addition, there are three types in the hollow concrete block, which are BI type, BS type, and BM type, and their sizes are defined by JIS.


Here, a plate-like lightweight concrete block configured as rectangular solid structure equivalent to the connected size of a plurality of hollow concrete blocks in a planar direction, in which long grooves are formed at end face of at least one of short side and long side thereof, and a method for constructing a boundary wall by piling a plurality of the plate-like lightweight concrete blocks in a planar state, and by arranging reinforcements at the long grooves, and by filling mortar into the long grooves, are proposed (for example, refer to patent literature 1).


Also, a greening block capable of easily combining the blocks vertically and horizontally by fitting structure, which does not form mortar joints on outer surface, and configured to greening the block by growing plants from upper parts and voids of the blocks, is proposed (for example, refer to patent literature 2).


Patent Literature 1: JP 2002-339480 A


Patent Literature 2: JP 2004-147553 A


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

However, as a block used for constructing a wall and else, it could be simply a rectangular cube, but generally, a block with a basic form of rectangular cube and added with convex-concave shape for strengthening a bond is heavily used. For example, a concrete block heavily used for constructing moat is having three longitudinal cavities, and provided with recessed grooves on both sides, and for bonding both blocks side by side, mortar is filled between mating both recessed grooves. However, with this configuration, there is no direct connection with each other, so its strength stability cannot be trusted only by mortar.


Also, by adopting an engagement structure with protrusion and recess, which are mutually engageable with adjacent blocks vertically and horizontally, it is possible to easily combine the blocks vertically and horizontally. However, as the technology disclosed on patent literature 2, it is not possible to secure a sufficient bonding strength between blocks combined vertically for the greening block, which does not form mortar joints on outer surface, and configured to greening the block by growing plants from upper parts and voids of the blocks. In other words, with a bonding structure by two protrusions 11 and two protrusions 16a respectively extending in longitudinal direction in FIG. 2 of patent literature 2, it is not possible to secure a bonding strength when force is applied in a thickness direction of the blocks perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.


Also, in regions with strong tremor or in regions that the liquefaction occurred at the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, even reinforcements were inserted inside the concrete blocks, the reinforcements could not support a weight of the blocks and damage occurred such as the walls inclined, or fallen from the base.


Therefore, considering the above conventional circumstances, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a construction block and a wall face structure with high durability and versatility.


The other purpose of the present invention and specific advantages obtained by the present invention will be more apparent from an explanation of embodiments explained in below.

Also, this construction block 10 comprises three vertical holes 16 formed between both of the side face walls 15(R) and 15(L), as illustrated in FIG. 2. The three vertical holes 16 are closed off by the top face wall 13 and opened at the bottom face.


Also, this construction block 10 comprises four protrusions 17 protruding from bottom face of side walls between the vertical grooves 14(R) and 14(L) and the vertical holes 16, as illustrated in FIG. 2. The four protrusions 17 are formed on the bottom face in such a manner that they respectively continue over full width of the horizontal groove 13A in width direction of the horizontal groove 13A and that they are distributed in horizontal direction of the horizontal groove 13A, and they are having a shape to engage with the horizontal groove 13A formed on the top face wall 13 in a state securing a space for inserting the horizontal reinforcement.


Further, this construction block 10 comprises recessed slits 18 respectively formed in vertical direction on each side face of the front face wall 11 and the rear face wall 12, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.


Here, in order to confirm an effect of the protrusions 17 of the construction block 10, shear and pressure test was conducted about a piled structure of construction blocks without the protrusions 17 for comparison, and by comparing shear strength between them, a result as follows was obtained.


Test bodies were two types each with three blocks as illustrated in FIG. 3. A test body A used a concrete block C type as a construction block without the protrusions, and piled for three blocks by applying mortar at ribs after filling mortar into horizontal grooves for inserting horizontal reinforcements. A test body B used a concrete block C type with 10 mm notch at lower part as a construction block with the protrusions, and piled for three blocks by applying mortar at ribs after filling mortar into horizontal grooves for inserting horizontal reinforcements. Curing time was two days.


Testing method used a vertical actuator testing machine 100, and placed blocks at both sides of the test body on bases 110, and applied a force to a central block until destruction by monotonous application of force via a force applying jig 120 (width 150 mm). Displacement gauges (CDP100 made by Tokyo Sokki Kenkyujo Co., Ltd.) 130 were fixed at four points of the jig, and recorded relative displacement with respect to the blocks at both sides, and displacement of four points were determined on average.


As a result of the shear and pressure test, load-deformation curves as illustrated in FIG. 5 were obtained. Also, maximum load of each test body is indicated in table 1.
