Benefits of technology
The patent text describes a masonry construction method that combines wood and masonry to take advantage of their strengths and durability. The method reduces construction costs, is faster to build, and is more flexible for integration with common wood components. The result is a house that is stronger against earthquakes, resistant to fire and flood, and more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. The method also allows for easy customization and integration with various interior features. Overall, the method provides a structurally stable and cost-effective hybrid combination of wood and masonry.
Problems solved by technology
The disadvantages of masonry houses, comparing with wood frame house, are the high construction cost, especially in US, where timber products are inexpensive and wood stud houses are easier to meet stricter earthquake building codes.

Embodiment Construction
[0050]The proposed is a construction method to build with prefabricated masonry building blocks. The method reinforces the structure with conventional wood studs instead of rebar-reinforced cement. The wood studs form a skeleton that encloses and holds the masonry blocks around their entire perimeter. Each studs of the skeleton are directly tied down to the foundation as seismic enforcement. The method leverage conventional carpentry skills to keep the overall building cost low.
Hold Down to the Rails
[0051]FIG. 1 is a 3D overview of the design. An array of Ω shape steel rails (2), made from metal, such as construction rebar, are embodied into the poured concrete foundation (1). The exposed parts of rail (2) along the foundation wall run in parallel with the foundation (1) throughout the entire foundation wall. They are positioned right under the edge of the prefabricated masonry panel blocks (5) so that the wood stud keys (4) can tied to it directly using metal strap-ties (3). An exa...

Abstract
This disclosure relates to masonry construction of residential houses using prefabricated masonry panels or blocks, such as Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) panels or Concrete Masonry Units (CMU). Unlike existing masonry construction methods, this masonry structure is reinforced by common wood studs as join keys. All wood studs are individually strap-tied directly to the foundation and horizontally bound together to form a network of cells enclosing masonry blocks throughout the entire building. Considerations are given to prevent wood studs absorbing moisture from masonry material.
