Abstract:
A concrete section and method for constructing a wall includes first and second concrete sections identically configured and dimensioned to allow the entire concrete wall to be constructed via one concrete section design, thereby minimizing labor time and parts. The single design for all concrete sections for constructing a concrete wall is achieved by vertically “offsetting” corresponding and oppositely disposed first and third locking fingers; and vertically offsetting corresponding and oppositely disposed second and fourth locking fingers. First and second locking finger receiving recesses are also vertically offset to horizontally align a first recess of a second concrete section with a fourth locking finger of a first concrete section; and to horizontally align a second recess of a first concrete section with a first locking finger of a second concrete section. All horizontal alignment occurs when the bottom walls of the first and second concrete sections are coplanar orientated, thereby promoting the snug joining of a locking finger with a cooperating recess.

Claim (Index 23):
A method for constructing a concrete wall from lightweight concrete sections, said method comprising the steps of:\n providing a plurality of rectangular configured concrete section having an outer front wall with a predetermined design, planar outer side walls, planar outer top and outer bottom walls, and an inner planar wall having a relatively large recess therein with a depth defined by the transverse dimension of planar inner side walls; securing a fiberglass mesh with substantially one-quarter inch square configured openings across a bottom wall and across said inner side walls of said recess, said fiberglass mesh providing a binding element for polyurethane poured into said recess to maintain contact between hardening polyurethane and said side and bottom walls of said recess; and installing vertical and/or horizontal stabilizing bars that extend through said concrete section before said polyurethane is poured into said recess in said inner planar wall; whereby, said vertical and/or horizontal stabilizing bars are covered by polyurethane that ultimately hardens to form a substantially planar wall flush with said inner planar wall, thereby providing stability to a constructed concrete wall assembled with a plurality of said concrete sections such that said vertical and/or horizontal stabilizing bars are joined to cooperating vertical and/or horizontal stabilizing bars of vertically and/or horizontally adjacent comparably fabricated lightweight concrete sections.
