Abstract

The present invention refers to a modular constructive super light block, which is based on a module of variable dimensions and materials, characterised in that it has cavities and structural ribs lengthwise the inner portion thereof, as well as structural connectors at the 4 side portions and a tongue and groove system, which replace arches and coffers, brick and cement-sand block, either hollow or solid. The invention may be manufactured out of different materials, such as cellular concrete, foamed concrete, or by the mixture of recycled wastes of any type such as cardboard, paper, plastic, PET, etc. This block may also be amalgamated with binders of any type such as concrete with pearls of EPS or volcanic rock, polymers, resins, etc., which are crushed and mixed together. The module may be manufactured by extrusion or moulding processes, Esther in a plant or in situ for replacing in construction materials such as EPS or expanded polystyrene, bricks in any of the embodiments thereof , cement-sand blocks, either hollow or solid, the inventive block being used in slabs as structural lightening arch, which replaces the current arches which are only used as fillers, in walls being used as coffers for lightening concrete walls, or as masonry in load walls, thus substituting blocks, etc. The inventive module offers the possibility of having different compression resistances which are of from about 5 Kg/cm2 to the desired resistance, and optionally may be reinforced with polypropylene or metallic fibres or fibres of any type for obtaining a flexion resistance. With the adequate formwork, the module may directly receive the finish. The purpose of the present invention is to achieve, by means of the use of novel technology materials such as cellular and foamed concrete, polymers, recycled rubbish, etc., light structures, which are seism-resistant, cost-effective, easily used and mounted structures for constructing any space, either housing, commercial, educative or of any required type, at a fare price and in a reduced time.
