Abstract


A new construction theory is discussed, based on the erection of masonry walls that can be reinforced in all three spatial dimensions, regardless of the material employed and using plain mortar instead of concrete.
The AllWall integral masonry system is especially designed to facilitate the mason’s work and lower labour costs, while controlling wall cracking and broadening the scope of application of masonry technique.
NORMABLOC, the Spanish association of concrete manufacturers, is encouraging the use of the AllWall building system with its new concrete block, BLOC+.
