Benchmark (BM) lightweight aggregate interlocking block has the characteristics of energy saving, no plastering, convenient construction, etc., which can be used for internal infilled walls at all parts (240 mm thick block can also be used for external infilled walls). The U-shaped bricks are used in building ring beams, structural columns and lintel formwork. It eases the formwork construction process, saves energy consumption, shortens the construction period, and reduces the materials used, achieving the purpose of ensuring a high-quality building at minimum construction cost. Taking the practical project as an example, this paper studies the performance and characteristics of BM light aggregate interlocking block, and introduces the key construction technologies, aiming to provide relevant reference for the application of BM light aggregate interlocking block in practical projects.
