Embodiment Construction

[0012] The building structure of the present invention may be of any useful type built on foundations as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. In particular, the building structure of the present invention is particularly suited for inground foundations where the ground level extends partway up the side walls of the building. The building structure of the present invention is also useful in applications where the foundations are made at or below the water table and wherein the building is exposed to penetration by groundwater.

[0013] The building structure may be of the type having peripheral footings upon which the external walls are located and which support a suspended timber flooring above the ground. Another type of building structure that may be constructed according to the present invention is a slab construction wherein an overground foundation in the form of a concrete slab is laid with an integral peripheral footing. Such slab constructions are particularly advanta...

Abstract

A building structure comprising a footing (21b), wherein the footing (21b) includes a channel (23), and at least one panel (24), wherein the panel (24) is located within said channel (23), wherein the footing (21b) is disposed on a waterproofing membrane (22) which membrane extends along side walls of the footing (21b) and into said channel (23) and wherein the panel (24) has an external waterproofing membrane (25) that is in waterproof engagement with the membrane of the footing (21b) in the channel (23) and wherein the waterproofing membranes (22, 25) comprise an absorptive clay disposed between water permeable layers.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a building structure and to a method of forming a building structure, in particular to a building structure and method that provides improved waterproofing properties in the building structure. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Larger structures which are built on inground foundations are notoriously difficult to waterproof and current procedures that are used to provide waterproofing require peripheral excavation which are time consuming and costly and depending on site conditions, may restrict economic use of a site. [0003] In addition, excavations for inground foundations often are made at or below the water table which increases the need or an efficient means of waterproofing same. [0004] We have now found a building structure and a method of forming a building structure which increases land use efficiencies and provides improved waterproofing. [0005] Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the...
