A modular dome-like structure comprises a semispheric wall. A lowermost course of the semispheric wall is constructed using a plurality of springers. An intermediate course of the semispheric wall is constructed using a plurality of a first voussoir type. A second to uppermost course of the semispheric wall is constructed using a plurality of a second voussoir type. An uppermost course and third to uppermost of the semispheric wall is constructed using a plurality of a third voussoir type. The modular dome-like structure may have a cap constructed using a plurality of fourth voussoir type and a keystone or the modular dome-like structure may have an oculus. The modular dome-like structure may further include a lateral opening in the semispheric wall. The lowermost course and the intermediate course may be laid in a stretcher bond.

A modular building block assembly comprises a modular building block having a first load-bearing surface with a key. There is a recess in the key. The recess has a shoulder disposed therein and side walls extending from the shoulder to a mouth thereof. A reinforcement rod extends into the recess and a coupling for connecting vertically aligned reinforcement rods is disposed in the recess. The vertically aligned reinforcement rods each threadedly engage the coupling. A locking plate engages the coupling to prevent the coupling from rotating relative to the locking plate. The locking plate sits within the recess and rotation of the locking plate within the recess is prevented by the side walls of the recess.
