Abstract

Disclosed is a method for reinforcing a block masonry wall of blocks by use of a fixture, fixture holder, and deformed steel wire. The fixture holder has a hollow pipe shape and includes six blade receptacles protruding outward from a periphery thereof by a predetermined distance. The blade receptacles are spirally formed in a longitudinal direction of the fixture holder by a predetermined pitch. The deformed steel wire has an approximately regular-polygonal longitudinal direction thereof by a constant pitch. The deformed steel wire includes an intersectional connecting portion and/or beam connection loop. A block used in the reinforcing method includes a center hole and a side surface groove, and further includes first and second side holes at opposite sides of the center hole. The side surface groove is formed only at one side surface or either side surface of the block. All the holes have a rounded rectangular shape. The masonry wall reinforcing method includes the steps of: connecting a horizontally extending basic deformed steel wire to a vertically extending intersectional connection type deformed steel wire and covering them with mortar; and connecting a fixture holder, which is oriented toward an inner wall, to the vertically extending intersectional connection type deformed steel wire and covering them with mortar. A beam block reinforcing method includes the steps of: laying a row of beam blocks such that holes of the beam blocks horizontally communicate with one another, and penetrating a first deformed steel wire through the holes of the beam blocks; and horizontally disposing a second deformed steel wire on upper surfaces of the beam blocks.
