I'm planning to build two side walls for a cabinet using stacked lecablocks, which will then be plastered. They will sit on a concrete floor, and I believe using about 5 blocks each, 9 cm wide and 59 cm deep, stacked on top of each other on each side should suffice...
Once the construction is fully completed, I will have a concrete slab on top of them - with a sink in the middle - which ensures they stay in place and provides a good support for the slab in the middle (otherwise, I want to attach an angle iron around the wall to hold the rest of the slab). There will also be a wooden door - like a plank door - between them.
The question is how do I proceed from here? Should I fasten them to the floor and with what? Fasten them to each other and with what?
Picture of the laundry room project - the lecablock walls are intended to be placed in the middle, one on each side of the machine, and function as cabinets. I'm planning to remove the floor while working with the blocks - there's a concrete floor underneath.
I had drilled in 8mm rebar into the floor and wall, using chemical anchors to secure them. Then mortar as usual between the blocks since you will plaster on the outside.
edit:
Wood or blocks in the walls?
Possibly screw in low galvanized screws into the wooden wall and cast in as locking if so.
