[0001] The invention refers to a load bearing building wall comprising the fine wall members.
[0002] The
Polish patent description no. 168290 referred to a building wall comprising the fine wall members forming two-armed corner.
The load bearing part of the wall is constructed in the form of a vertical panel with
small pillars to which textural layers are attached. On the external side of the building
wall, an insulating material layer is laid. The arm of the wall member located in
the panel pillars is provided with an advantageous recess enabling connection with
the pillars of the textural layer.
[0003] The familiar external load bearing walls comprising the fine wall members, as one-layer
walls, are characterised by large thickness, therefore, good thermal and acoustic
parameters, nevertheless, their scope of structural application is minor. The porous
structure and hollows of the wall forming materials used in one-layer walls enable
their application in construction of heating and ventilation ducts. The two-layer
wall is characterised by a more efficient load bearing section. However, apart from
the strips located near the openings, where the headers with the ceiling are based,
long sections of walls, particularly those not carrying the ceilings load, retain
a considerable resistance excess. The known brick load bearing walls with service
ducts, particularly those used for heating and ventilation of compartments, are characterised
by a complex structure and their construction is labour-consuming, therefore, the
number of service ducts is limited to a necessary minimum which entails worsening
of service conditions and impairing correct operation of the installation.
[0004] The specificity of the load bearing wall, as provided in the invention, consists
in the assumption that wall is provided with a vertical bent panel made of cuboidal
blocks shaped into a set of separated pillars combined in strips between the axes
of vertical grooves which, being covered by the internal finishing layer, function
as service ducts running to the upper storeys between the tongues of the narrowed
ring beam. On the external side of the wall with grooves, there is a layer of insulating
materials provided with a textural façade layer.
[0005] At the points of exceeded load bearing capacity of the separated pillars, a full
wall or a ferroconcrete reinforcement in the vertical grooves are constructed.
[0006] It is advantageous that the cuboidal block has at least one corner groove in which
the internal finishing layer of the vertical grooves may be recessed as well as that,
in parallel to the corner groove, an oblique slit may be formed in which anchors are
set.
[0007] In the walls thicker than one cuboidal block, the vertical grooves may run to the
upper storeys through the internal openings of the traditional ring beam. The internal
finishing layer advantageously made of plaster-cardboard panels may be laid on both
sides of the vertical bent panel.
[0008] The load bearing building wall in the form of a vertical bent panel comprising the
cuboidal blocks, in the configuration as provided in the invention, is characterised
by simple construction procedure and efficient load bearing section, properly diversified
according to loads which may occur. Reinforcement of the load bearing wall with a
full wall or a ferroconcrete reinforcement in vertical grooves does not result in
a change of its thickness. One of the advantages of the invention is application of
densely arranged vertical grooves used for distribution and hiding of various installations.
The option of separate connection of the heating and ventilation system in each compartment
creates conditions for attaining high operational comfort in the scope of health as
well as more reasonable and energy saving operation of the heating and ventilating
devices.
[0009] The object of the invention in practical application is shown in the drawing, with
figure 1 showing the load bearing building wall comprising the fine wall members in
the horizontal section with a vertical bent panel of the thickness corresponding to
the thickness of one cuboidal block, with separated pillars of the face width equalling

building wall of the thickness corresponding to the thickness of 1 ½ cuboidal block

Example 1
[0010] The load bearing building wall, comprising the fine wall members, of which the vertical
bent panel (1) is constructed, as well as cuboidal blocks (2), is formed into separated
pillars (3) constituting the ceiling support and carries the upper storeys load falling
on the strip between the vertical grooves (4). The vertical grooves (4) covered with
the internal finishing layer (5) constitute service ducts running to the upper storeys
between the tongues (6) of the narrowed ring beam (7). On the external layer of the
building wall, the vertical grooves (10) are covered with the insulating material
layer (11) with a textural façade layer (12). Furthermore, at the points of exceeded
load bearing capacity of the pillars (3), a full wall (13) or a ferroconcrete reinforcement
(14) in the vertical grooves are constructed. The wall in a horizontal section is
depicted on fig. 1, and the narrowed ring beam for this wall, as presented in fig.
4, is provided with a vertical bent panel (1) of a thickness corresponding to the
thickness of one block (2) with separated pillar (3) of a face width of 1 ½ block
(2) with examples of the wall reinforcement with a full wall (13) and a ferroconcrete
reinforcement (14) in the vertical grooves (4, 10).

[0011] The load bearing building wall comprising the fine wall members is constructed as
provided in example one with the difference that it is provided with a vertical bent
panel (1) made of cuboidal blocks (2), each having one corner groove (15) in which
the internal finishing layers (5) for the vertical grooves (4) are set, as provided
in fig. 8 showing the cuboidal block (2) in the top view, and fig. 9 showing a horizontal
section of the wall and examples of the finishing layer (5).
Example 3
[0012] The load bearing building wall comprising the fine wall members is constructed as
provided in example two with the difference that in parallel to the corner groove
(15) of the cuboidal block (2), there is an oblique slit (16) in which anchors for
mounting the insulating material layer (11) and various installations inside the vertical
grooves (4) are set.

[0013] The load bearing building wall comprising the fine wall members is constructed as
provided in example one or two with the difference that it is provided with a vertical
bent panel (1) made of cuboidal blocks (2) of the thickness corresponding to the thickness
of one block with separated pillars (3) of a face width of 2 blocks, vertical grooves
(4) of the section of 1 ½ and ½ x ½ of a block depicted in fig. 2 and a narrowed ring
beam (7) with tongues (6) depicted in fig. 5.

narrowed ring beam (7) with tongues (6) depicted in fig. 6.
Example 6
[0015] The load bearing building wall comprising the fine wall members is constructed as

Example 7
[0016] The load bearing building wall comprising the fine wall members is constructed as
provided in example one with the difference that, as an internal load bearing building
wall, it is provided with an internal finishing layer (5) on both sides of the panel
(1).
[0017] Load bearing building walls comprising fine wall members are made of cuboidal blocks
(2), but they can also be constructed with application of such substitutive or supplementary
materials as brick or two-arm corner shaped blocks. Reinforcement of the load bearing
wall at the points of exceeded load bearing capacity of the separated pillars (3)
is attained by construction of a full wall (13) or by application of a ferroconcrete
reinforcement (14) in the vertical grooves (4, 10), nevertheless, it is also possible
that another familiar solution be applied, namely the application of higher class
wall materials or reinforcement of horizontal joints by means of a steel mesh. The
internal finishing layer (5) based on gypsum-cardboard panels may be limited to covering
only the vertical grooves (4), and on the surface of the separated pillars (3), a
plaster finishing coat is laid or only the joints are levelled.

the upper storeys between the tongues (6) of the narrowed ring beam (7), whereas on
the external side o the building wall provided with vertical grooves (10), an insulating
material layer (11) is mounted with a textural façade layer (12).
