A masonry construction module is provided which possesses versatility in the formation of various types of structures. The module has corrugations on all of its side walls which interfit complementally with the corrugations of adjacent modules in a horizontal course, thus rendering the courses of modules self-aligning and interlocked. The opposite ends of the module are respectively recessed and step projected to promote self-alignment and interlocking with modules in courses above and below. Sloping end shoulder surfaces shed water and form a barrier to water, sight and sound. The modules are designed to be laid up without mortar but can be laid up with mortar if desired and core openings can accept concrete reinforced with metal or the like to integrate structures. The corrugated side surfaces also provide ideal adhesion with stucco and the like.

A construction module in the general form of a rectangular parallelepiped including side faces which are arranged upright in use and are corrugated for interlocking engagement with the corrugations of like modules in a structure, and the module having male and female end faces, the female end face comprising the relief negative of the male end face, whereby opposing male and female end faces of plural modules in stacked relationship in a structure may interfit in positively locked relationship, the male and female end faces of the module including concentrically arranged inner and outer shoulder surfaces extending continuously around the margin of the module with the inner shoulder surface being substantially rectangular and the outer shoulder surface extending to and joining said corrugated side faces of the module, each corrugated side face of the module having at least one rib projecting from the normal plane of the side face and at least one adjacent recess parallel to the rib and being formed inwardly from the normal plane of the side face with the outer surface of said rib and the inner surface of said recess being flat, and the module having a flat end face normal to said side faces at each opposite end thereof, and defining planes of maximum projection of the male end face of the module and maximum relief for the female end face of the module so that said module provides positive interlocking and self-aligning means on all side surfaces as well as on the opposite end faces thereof that present a flat abutment surface.
