[0001] The invention makes reference to a construction system of walls with prefabricated
structural components that self-secure (buckles) to one another. Up to today the references
are made generally to two masonry systems:
- 1. Humid structure
- 2. Dry structure.
[0002] In the first system, the structural elements used are stones, bricks, clay-bricks,
with synthetic material in between, humid mortar of cement, lime and sand.
[0003] In the second system, the structural elements used are leveled slates of wood, floating
screed, metallic panels with polyurethane or polyster as internal insulation that
are screwed to a metallic or wooden frame that is manufactured for this aim. In the
interior masonry, so much in the humid as in the dry structure, the insulation that
is used is either polyster rockwool or polyurethane.
[0004] For the construction of a wall with the above methods, several working phases are
required with an important cost of materials and hours of work.
[0005] The present invention belongs to the dry structure and its aim is to decrease the
working phases and the construction time of a wall, and consequently the cost, as
the construction of the frame and the external surface of the wall which is built,
will not be required, the insulation and the final parget are already embodied, and
the wall is ready to be painted.
[0006] The masonry system with prefabricated self-secured (buckled) structural elements
according to the present invention, has the feature that a wall is built with the
use of jigs that are screwed on its extreme support surfaces, the floor, props, roof
of a building, on which, sizeable structural components of rectangular cross-section
are self-secured (buckled), that have the feature of possessing a cover circumferentially,
from metallic or synthetic material, shaped so that they self-secure (buckle) at the
jigs and between them, have an internal structure of light-weight concrete or other
aggregates, and on the exterior surface have an insulation of high density polyster,
fastened on the internal structure, with flanges for the incrustation of the structural
components' connecting joints, on which the final parget has been overlaid, while
the wall's internal surface is realized by support against the frame, which is a result
of the circumferential covers of the structural components, floating screed, wood
or various other surfaces.
[0007] The advantages that result of this invention are mostly that the construction of
a frame is not required, nor is the use of adhesive materials for the connection of
structural components. In addition, the structural components of the present invention
can be manufactured in large dimensions, because their materials have a small special
weight and consequently a large cover surface with very good thermo insular features.
The frame that results from the connection of the circumferential covers to the structural
components is capable to accept important loads, even seismic loads. The time and
the cost of the manufacture of the wall with the present invention are minimized.
[0008] The present invention is easily comprehensible with the description that follows
with report to the attached drawings where:
Figure 1 shows the isometric design of a wall part manufactured according to the present
invention.
Figure 2 shows the isometric design of a structural component manufactured according
to the present invention.
Figure 3 shows a form of circumferential cover of the structural component of the
present invention.
Figure 4 shows in detail a form of the self-securing of the structural components
to each other.
Figure 5 shows the wall of figure 1 in isometric design from the interior.
Figure 6 shows the cross-section of the jigs 1 and 2 in detail.
[0009] In figure 1 the jigs 1 and 2 are screwed on to the props and to the floor respectively,
via the holes 11 (figures 5 and 6) and onto them the structural components 3 are self-secured
(buckled), which are able to be manufactured, in dimension with regard to their length,
at the entire cost and in its half. The self-securing of the structural components
to the jigs 1 and 2 are ensured by the alcoves that appear in figures 3 and 5 that
with a simple pressure of the structural components makes contact with the extrusions
7 of the jigs 1 and 2 that appear in figure 6.
[0010] In the same way, the structural components self-secure (buckle) to each other via
the surfaces 7 and 9 that appear in figures 2, 3 and 4. The configuration 10 in figure
4 corresponds with the configuration 12, strengthening at the width the relative movement
of the structural components.
[0011] In figure 2 appears a structural component according to the present invention, that
is constituted by a circumferential cover 6, with the configurations 7, 9, 10, 11
and 12, the external insulation 4 with the parget 14 and the internal structure of
light-weight concrete or other aggregates or synthetic materials 5.
[0012] In figure 3 appears a construction of a circumferential sheath, where the component
8 constitutes as the reinforcement to the structural component in a vertical direction.
[0013] In figure 4 appear in detail the collaborating surfaces of the two structural components
7 and 9, 10 and 12 at their self-securing phase, as well as the flange 13 that have
the external insulation for the incrustation of the structural components' connecting
joints.
[0014] In figure 5 appears the frame that is created by the circumferential covers of the
structural components 3 and the jigs 1 and 2 with the fixing holes 11.
[0015] In figure 6 appears the cross-section of the jigs 1 and 2 of the figures 1 and 5
in detail, where extrusions 7 self-secure (buckle) the structural components 3 of
the figures 1, 2 and 5 via the surfaces 9 of figures 2, 3 and 4.
