Re: Cinder Block Ceiling- How

KThere is two building in Taylor Nebraska 1 is the court house which this is ceiling and roof assembly, the other is a two story with a auto shop on the bottom and living area above this is a ceiling and floor assembly 
John  u Predmore my dad built the court house in 1956 and this building is still in use today. This assembly is built with a light weight lintel block  dry stacked horizontaly to the best of what I can see. I did not see how it was done i was only two. But from what I can see there is evidence of a wood sport  that the block were layed on and then grouted. I can see the the top or the reinforcement. There has to be a building  design on this some place. O the other building has a span over 12 feet  floor and ceiling assembly  witch has to carry a forty lbs per square foot and dead load to carry the block  and material's.
