Benefits of technology

The invention provides a reinforcement mesh for load-bearing building panels, a load-bearing building panel that is easy to assemble and transport, and a building structure with load-bearing partitions that is of excellent quality and inexpensive to make. The goal is to overcome the previous limitations of the prior art.

Problems solved by technology

Disadvantageously, this means that, since the lengths of the walls on which the panels will be mounted are not known beforehand, the horizontal chains are mounted in situ so as to limit the overlappings.
This makes the construction of the walls particularly laborious.
Disadvantageously, this process prevents the formwork from being mounted in situ and makes the transport of the formwork difficult.
In effect, since the formwork is internally hollow (due to the hollow space which divides the two panels) the volume occupied by the formwork is extremely large (especially relative to its weight), forcing the builder to use very bulky means of transport for transporting a very limited weight, with a considerable waste of resources.
Moreover, the need to use concrete (as construction material) and polystyrene (for making the panels) makes the construction of the buildings particularly expensive, both in terms of the cost of the plant for processing the polystyrene and the transport difficulties in the absence of adequate infrastructure routes.

first embodiment

[0197]In a first embodiment, the beams 48 are made of laminated wood (obtained, for example, from waste timber).

[0198]In the embodiment illustrated, these beams 48 have a cross-section of 140×200 mm and are positioned with a spacing of 56 cm.

[0199]The beams 48 are anchored, at their ends, to the layers of reinforced concrete located at the upper ends 33b of the wall elements 33.

[0200]This anchoring is obtained by metal fasteners (hooks 52) embedded in the concrete and preferably connected to the end junction bodies 37 of each formwork 35.

[0201]An internally hollow weight reduction body 49 (or hollow block) is interposed between each pair of successive beams 48. It should be noted that the weight reduction body 49 is interposed substantially to size between the two beams.

[0202]Preferably, the hollow block is made from the same ingredients as the panels, but with considerably greater density characteristics.

[0203]Moreover, the weight reduction body 49 has a shape such as to overlie at...

second embodiment

[0237]In a second embodiment, described below, the straw remains in the tank for approximately 24 hours.

[0238]After that period of time, the straw is poured into a mixer (concrete mixer).

[0239]Meanwhile, the method comprises preparing a predetermined quantity of hydraulic lime or plaster and pouring the hydraulic lime or plaster into the mixer with the straw for amalgamating them, thereby obtaining a mix ready for pouring into the formwork.

[0240]In the first embodiment, approximately 160 kg / m3 hydraulic lime or plaster introduced into the concrete mixer.

[0241]In the second embodiment, the panel 10 is made with a combination of straw and lime (or plaster) with a binding element.

[0242]Preferably, the binding element is defined by the paper.

[0243]However, alternatively, especially where the paper is not readily available (for example, in those places where a separate collection of waste is not performed), the binding element may be defined by beer processing waste (for example, beer sp...

Abstract

Described is a building structure comprising a basic horizontal element, substantially flat and forming a treadable surface, comprising a plurality of stirrup bodies rising from the surface and aligned for identifying at least one habitable room, a plurality of wall elements each comprising a pair of panels parallel to each other and spaced at a predetermined distance so as to form a hollow space between them for receiving a construction material and an upper horizontal element connected to the upper ends of the wall elements for delimiting the top of the habitable room. The hollow space is filled with a volume of clayey soil having a percentage of between 19% and 26% of inert material and delimited by lower connection means anchored to the stirrup bodies and upper connection means anchored to the upper horizontal element; the volume of clayey soil compacted such as to have a compression strength of at least 22 kg / cm2 and a shear strength of at least 4 kg / cm2.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to a reinforcement mesh for load-bearing building panels, a load-bearing building panel (preferably comprising the mesh), a building structure with load-bearing partitions and a method for making a load-bearing building panel.[0002]The invention applies to the building sector and, more specifically, to the construction of low-cost building structures with load-bearing partitions in difficult areas.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Numerous solutions are known in the prior art for the construction of multi-storey residential buildings with load-bearing partitions by the installation of load-bearing panels provided with metal reinforcement (generally made of steel) embedded in a volume of construction material, such as concrete, mortar or the like.[0004]Depending on the structural needs and the climatic-territorial characteristics of the construction area, it is possible to use so-called “single” panels, that is, which act as internal support for the oute...
