Abstract: A stress analysis investigation is presented of a building block incorporating a cavity containing air at atmospheric pressure. The shape of the cavity is decided initially by thermal insulation considerations but this has to be modified and its location in the block chosen after a stress analysis, so that high values of vertical strength divided by effective horizontal conductivity can be achieved.
