The block and tackle is still used in the manner it has always been used, to gain a mechanical advantage in lifting or pulling objects. It is used extensively aboard ships today.

Block and plank is a construction type that utilizes precast concrete "planks" for the floor system and concrete masonry unit "blocks" for the bearing walls. Some of the key advantages are: affordability, and short time to erect compared to a poured in place alternative. Most commonly used in hotel, residence hall, and apartment buildings.
