An improved mechanically secured block building system generally for concrete masonry structures comprising a masonry block unit with a height and width essentially one-half the length of the unit, with multiple cavities through the block and with a recessed channel; an anchor bar with a plurality of threaded and non-threaded apertures in a special configuration to match the cavities in the block unit and able to lay in the recessed channel of the block; and a fastener wherein the mechanical secured block building system can be assembled in unique ways due to a cube effect of the masonry block to construct multiple width walls, grade beams, and horizontal decks. An alternative embodiment includes the preferred mechanical secured block building system further comprised of (d) a footer block and (e) a footer plate.

1. A mechanical secured block building system for constructing structures with concrete masonry units, the system comprising: (a) a masonry unit, the masonry unit being made of concrete and comprising: a masonry longitudinal length, a masonry width measured perpendicularly to the masonry longitudinal length, wherein the masonry width which is substantially one half the longitudinal length and which is substantially uniform along the masonry longitudinal length, a masonry top surface, the masonry top surface being substantially planar, a masonry bottom surface, the masonry bottom surface being substantially planar, a masonry height which is substantially one half the longitudinal length and which is measured between the masonry top and masonry bottom surfaces, the masonry height being substantially uniform along the masonry longitudinal length, a first through-cavity formed through the masonry unit from the top surface to the bottom surface, a second through-cavity formed through the masonry unit from the top surface to the bottom surface, a third through-cavity formed through the masonry unit from the top surface to the bottom surface, and an anchor bar recessed channel formed in the masonry top surface and oriented substantially along the masonry longitudinal length;(b) an anchor bar, the anchor bar comprising: (i) a first set of apertures, the first set of apertures comprising a first non-threaded aperture and a first threaded aperture, wherein the first non-threaded aperture and the first threaded aperture are located in first and second diagonally opposing quadrants of a coordinate system defined by a longitudinal centerline of the anchor bar and a line that is perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline; and(ii) a second set of apertures neighboring the first set of apertures, the second set of apertures comprising a second non-threaded aperture that is substantially the same as the first non-threaded aperture, and a second threaded aperture that is substantially the same as the first threaded aperture, wherein the second non-threaded aperture and the second threaded aperture are located in third and fourth diagonally opposing quadrants of the coordinate system but spaced longitudinally from the first set of apertures,wherein the first set of apertures is aligned with the first through-cavity and the second set of apertures is aligned with the third through-cavity when the anchor bar is placed into the anchor bar recessed channel of the masonry unit andwherein a width of the anchor bar is smaller than a width of the recessed channel of the masonry unit; and(c) a fastener, the fastener comprising: (i) a first fastener end and a second fastener end,(ii) a head portion at the first fastener end,(iii) a stem portion rigidly affixed to the head portion, the stem portion comprising a threaded portion at the second fastener endwherein the head portion does not fit through the first non-threaded aperturewherein the stem portion slides freely through the first non-threaded aperture, andwherein the threaded portion is configured to threadably engage the first threaded aperture whereby the mechanical secured block building system can be assembled in unique ways due to a cube effect of the masonry block to construct multiple width walls, grade beams, and horizontal decks. 2. The mechanical secured block building system in claim 1 further comprising: (d) a footer block, the footer block being made of concrete and comprising: a footer longitudinal length substantially the same as the masonry longitudinal length; a footer width measured perpendicularly to the footer longitudinal length and substantially one half the longitudinal length, wherein the footer width is substantially uniform along the footer longitudinal length, a footer top surface, the footer top surface being substantially planar, a footer bottom surface, the footer bottom surface being substantially planar, a footer height measured between the footer top and footer bottom surfaces, the footer height being substantially uniform along the footer longitudinal length, a footer recess formed on the footer bottom surface, and a footer through-hole formed from the footer top surface to the footer recess; and(e) a footer plate, the footer plate comprising: a footer threaded aperture, the footer threaded aperture configured to threadably engage the threaded portion of the lower most fastener, wherein the footer plate fits within the footer recess such that, when received by the footer recess, the footer plate does not protrude below the second bottom surface and the footer plate is substantially prevented from rotating within the footer recess. 3. The mechanical secured block building system of claim 1, wherein the masonry unit is one of a plurality of the same masonry units, wherein the anchor bar is one of a plurality of the same anchor bars, and wherein the fastener is one of a plurality of the same fasteners, the pluralities of masonry units, anchor bars, and fasteners forming a corner of a wall structure having multiple levels, wherein each anchor bar of the plurality of anchor bars at the corner overlaps vertically at a substantially right angle with the anchor bars of the plurality of anchor bars at the levels above and below. 4. The mechanical secured block building system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of wall systems further comprises at least a first wall system and a second wall system and wherein each of the first and second wall system is further comprised of a plurality of block courses and each are placed contiguously as touching wall systems andwherein the second wall system has alternating longitudinal and perpendicular blocks that intersect and connect with the first wall system through a perpendicular block unit and anchor bar to create an integral wall system of multiple walls. 5. The mechanical secured block building system of claim 4 wherein a pier comprised of the plurality of block units are placed perpendicular to other blocks and in courses along a longitudinal run of the wall systems. 6. The mechanical secured block building system of claim 1 wherein a pier comprised of plurality of block units are placed perpendicular to other blocks and in courses along a longitudinal run of the wall system. 7. The mechanical secured block building system of claim 1 whereby the wall system is placed substantially horizontal to the ground wherein a strong, flat structure results which may be used as a deck, floor and roof structure. 8. A construction system for building a masonry structure with unitized post tensioning reinforcement, the system comprising: a) a plurality of concrete masonry units where the units have a length equal to two times a unit's width and the unit's width is equal to the unit's height, each unit with at least one cavity, each unit having an uppermost and lowermost plane with the hollow cavity therein, and each unit having the planes being substantially parallel to one another;b) a series of elongated anchor bars that are comprised of a durable material, each anchor bar with a threaded aperture and a comparatively larger non-threaded aperture, the first bar placed contiguously to the first plane having the hollow cavity of the masonry unit and the second bar placed contiguously to the uppermost top plane having the hollow cavity of the masonry unit wherein the first bar and second bar are placed substantially parallel to each other with the apertures aligned such that the non-threaded aperture of the uppermost bar is aligned with the threaded aperture of the lowermost bar;c) a plurality of fasteners made of a durable material and the fasteners acting as tendons with a means to rigidly and removably connect each of the anchor bars first to the bar aligned above, if any, and secondly to the bar below with the masonry unit interposed between the connected bars; whereby the mechanical secured block building system can be assembled in unique ways due to a cube effect of the masonry block to construct multiple width walls, grade beams, and horizontal decks.
