Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to buildings, walls, and construction methods. [Background technology]

[0002] When constructing a building, a foundation is installed in the ground to transfer the load from the building to the ground and support the building. Then, concrete is poured on the ground inside the foundation to form a concrete floor, also known as a floor slab. Such a concrete floor may also function as a pressure-resistant plate that supports the load of the building together with the foundation.

[0003] To form a concrete floor on the ground, for example, lean concrete is poured onto crushed stone placed on the ground, a foundation is formed on the lean concrete, reinforcing bars are placed on the ground inside the foundation, formwork is installed, and concrete is poured into the formwork to form the concrete floor (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2008-297865 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] As mentioned above, the construction of a building requires the installation of formwork necessary for pouring concrete floors, and the removal of formwork after the concrete has hardened. Thus, in conventional buildings and construction methods, the installation and removal of formwork in the foundation work is essential, which increases labor costs, lengthens the construction period, and raises the overall cost of the building.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a building and construction method that enable a reduction in labor costs and a shortening of construction period, as well as a wall suitable for said building and construction method. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the building of the present invention comprises an exterior wall formed from multiple self-supporting wall bodies created by a cement-based mixed fluid injected by a 3D printer, which is placed on a foundation installed on the ground, and a concrete floor formed from concrete poured onto the ground inside the exterior wall using the exterior wall as formwork.

[0008] In a building constructed in this manner, the exterior walls are formed by arranging self-supporting wall bodies, and since the wall bodies are formed by the solidification of a cement-based mixed fluid, the exterior walls can be treated in the same way as the foundation, and therefore can be used as formwork for forming concrete floors.

[0009] Furthermore, the building may have multiple steel columns erected on the inside of the exterior wall and connected to the foundation, and the wall body may have reinforcing bars embedded during 3D printing, with the reinforcing bars being fastened to the steel columns to fix the exterior wall to the steel columns. With a building constructed in this way, the exterior wall is fastened to and integrated with the steel columns that form the structure of the building, and the building has a structure similar to that of a steel frame building, so the steel columns compensate for any insufficient tensile strength of the exterior wall, making it sturdy.

[0010] Furthermore, the walls of a building may have bulging sections that extend outward from the exterior wall to accommodate steel columns. With a building constructed in this way, the steel columns can be housed in the recesses on the interior side of the bulging sections of the wall, so that the steel columns do not get in the way in the interior enclosed by the exterior wall, and a large interior space can be secured.

[0011] Furthermore, the exterior wall may have a portion formed by stacking wall bodies vertically, with through-holes penetrating the wall bodies vertically, and the through-holes in the lower wall body and the through-holes in the upper wall body stacked above the lower wall body being in vertical communication with each other. The building may also be equipped with reinforcing bars for wall body connection inserted into the through-holes and mortar filled into the through-holes. With a building constructed in this manner, the exterior wall can be made taller by stacking and connecting wall bodies vertically, and the tensile strength of the vertically stacked wall bodies can be improved because the wall bodies fabricated by the 3D printer are connected by reinforcing bars for wall body connection.

[0012] Furthermore, the building may be provided with a filler to fill the gaps between adjacent walls in the horizontal direction on the exterior wall. With a building constructed in this way, when the building vibrates due to seismic motion, adjacent walls are allowed to vibrate independently, thus suppressing cracks and damage to the exterior wall formed by the walls.

[0013] Furthermore, the wall structure is Self-sufficient It is created using a cement-based mixed fluid that is extruded by a 3D printer. In an independent state In the middle of the horizontal direction wall thickness It bulges out in one direction, wall thickness A recess is formed on the other side of the direction. While extending vertically It is equipped with a bulging section. By having a bulging section in the wall, the self-supporting ability of the wall is improved even if the wall thickness is thin, allowing it to be stably installed on the foundation, and the design freedom of the wall shape is also improved, thus improving the design freedom of the exterior wall shape.

[0014] Furthermore, the wall may be provided with multiple reinforcing bars protruding into the recesses formed by the bulging portions. With a wall constructed in this manner, a steel-framed building can be realized by fastening it to steel columns erected in the recesses using the reinforcing bars. In addition, since the reinforcing bars can be bent or otherwise aligned with the steel columns, some displacement of the wall's position can be tolerated, allowing for flexible adjustments at the construction site.

[0015] Furthermore, the construction method involves an exterior wall formation process, in which multiple self-supporting wall bodies, formed from a cement-based mixed fluid injected by a 3D printer, are arranged and installed on a foundation placed on the ground to form the exterior wall, and a concrete floor is created by using the exterior wall formed in the exterior wall formation process as formwork and pouring concrete inside the exterior wall. formation This includes a concrete floor formation process. With this construction method, a freestanding wall is arranged to form the exterior wall, and the exterior wall is used as formwork for forming the concrete floor. Therefore, the concrete floor can be formed without installing formwork, and the installation and dismantling of formwork becomes unnecessary.

[0016] Furthermore, the construction method of this embodiment includes a steel column installation step in which steel columns are erected on a foundation inside the exterior wall formed by the exterior wall formation step, and a fastening step in which reinforcing bars pre-embedded in the wall are fastened to the steel columns. With this construction method, the exterior wall is fastened to the steel columns that form the structure of the building and integrated, so that the building has a structure similar to that of a steel frame building. As a result, the steel columns can compensate for any sufficient tensile strength of the exterior wall, making the building more robust. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to the present invention, the building and construction method make it possible to reduce the labor involved in construction and shorten the construction period, and the wall structure according to the present invention is optimal for the aforementioned building and construction method.

[0049] Swelling part 1a 5L ,1a 5U In plan view, it is arc-shaped and bulges outward, forming a recess on the interior side that accommodates the steel column 3, which will be described later. Bulging part 1a 5L ,1a 5U Wall 1 1L ,1 1U Similarly, a total of six L-shaped reinforcing bars 1e are placed in the designated positions. 5L ,1e 5U bulging part 1a 5L ,1a 5U It is installed so as to protrude radially toward the interior side.

Reinforcement bar 1e 5L ,1e 5U is reinforcing bar 1e 1L ,1e 1U Similarly, it is described as L-shaped, but it may also be C-shaped as described above.

[0050] Through hole 1b 5L ,1b 5U is wall 1 5L ,1 5Uvertically penetrates, and the wall body 1 5L , 1 5U is provided at the same position with respect to. Therefore, when the wall bodies 5L , 1 5U are stacked vertically, the through holes 1b 5L , 1b 5U communicate with each other, and a pair of vertical holes that penetrate the wall body 1 5L , 1a 5U are formed with the bulging portion 1a 5L , 1 5U sandwiched therebetween.

[0051] The protruding portion 1c 5U is provided closer to the outside except for the notch 5U at the left end of the wall body 1 1f 5U and protrudes vertically from the left end of the wall body 1 with a thickness of about 1 / 3 of the wall thickness.

Therefore, the wall body 1 5U 5L ​Wall 1 above 5U When stacked, wall 1 5L of left End and notch 1f 5U The left end of the wall 1 is flush with the wall 1 5L ,1 5U It forms a single rectangular opening at the left end, with the bottom open.

[0053] Note that while six reinforcing bars 1e are provided for each wall 1, the number of reinforcing bars 1e installed for a single wall 1 can be arbitrarily changed. Also, the upper wall W U Each wall 1 that forms 1U ,1 2U ,1 3U ,1 4U ,1 5U ,1 6U is the lower wall W L Each corresponding wall 1 1L ,1 2L ,1 3L ,1 4L ,1 5L ,1 6L Since they will be stacked on top of each other using a crane or similar equipment, wall 1 is necessary to allow support from the crane's lifting equipment. 1U ,1 2U ,1 3U ,1 4U ,1 5U ,1 6U It is advisable to install multiple reinforcing bars embedded in the wall and protruding from the outside. The reinforcing bars used for suspension can be removed after the exterior wall W is completed.

[0054] Each wall 1 configured in this way is fabricated and manufactured using a 3D printer. As shown in Figure 5, the 3D printer 100 includes a hopper 101 into which mortar is fed, a nozzle 102 capable of injecting mortar, a pipe 103 connecting the hopper 101 and the nozzle 102, a pump 104 located in the middle of the pipe 103 to transport the mortar in the hopper 101 to the nozzle 102, a drive device 105 that drives the nozzle 102 forward, backward, left, right, and up and down, and a controller 106 that controls the opening and closing of the nozzle 102, the pump 104 and the drive device 105.

[0055] The mortar that is put into the hopper 101 is self-supporting when ejected from the nozzle 102 in a manner suitable for molding by the 3D printer 100, and Hard It is preferable that the mixture has high thixotropy. Although the wall 1 is made of mortar, it may also be made of various cement-based mixed fluids other than mortar, such as cement paste or concrete. If the mixed fluid has high thixotropy, it is possible to satisfy good injection of the mixed fluid by the 3D printer 100 and the self-supporting nature of the mixed fluid after injection. Therefore, it is preferable that the cement-based mixed fluid has high thixotropy.

[0056] To achieve rapid hardening with a cement-based mixed fluid, rapid hardening agents, cement hardening accelerators, and quick-setting agents can be used. To ensure that the mixed fluid maintains its desired fluidity until it is extruded from the 3D printer 100, it is advisable to mix setting retarders such as oxycarboxylic acids (citric acid, tartaric acid, gluconic acid, malic acid, etc.) or their salts into the cement-containing powder.

[0057] Furthermore, when manufacturing by mixing cement-based mixed fluids, short and long fibers formed into needle shapes from synthetic resin fibers such as polypropylene fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, polyester fibers, and aramid fibers, or inorganic fibers such as steel fibers, glass fibers, silica fibers, ceramic fibers, and carbon fibers may be mixed into the cement as reinforcing materials.

[0058] The nozzle 102, although not shown in detail, includes an outlet for injecting mortar and a shutter or valve for opening and closing the outlet, the opening and closing operation of which is controlled by the controller 106. The piping 103 is provided with at least a flexible portion to allow movement within the range of motion of the nozzle 102, as the nozzle 102 moves forward, backward, left, right, up and down by the drive device 105 during the molding of the wall 1. Note that the entire piping 103 may be flexible.

[0059] Although not shown in detail, the pump 104, when driven by a motor, sucks up the mortar introduced into the hopper 101 and discharges it toward the nozzle 102. The pump 104 is, for example, a screw pump, but it is preferable to use a pump with a stable discharge rate. The pump 104 is driven and controlled by the controller 106, and discharges a predetermined flow rate of mortar toward the nozzle 102 when forming the wall 1.

[0060] The drive unit 105, although not shown in detail, comprises a cubic lattice frame, a holding unit for holding the nozzle 102, a guide device attached to the frame that guides the movement of the holding unit in the forward / backward, left / right, and up / down directions, and three motors that drive the holding unit in the forward / backward, left / right, and up / down directions. The controller 106 commands the drive unit to move the nozzle 102 in the forward / backward, left / right, and up / down directions.

[0061] In the 3D printer 100 configured in this way, when data modeling the three-dimensional shape of the wall 1 to be printed is input to the controller 106, the controller 106 divides the three-dimensional shape of the wall 1 into thin layers in the vertical direction, obtains two-dimensional data for each divided layer, and determines the printing path for each layer to create a printing procedure for the wall 1. Then, the controller 106 drives the pump 104 to supply mortar to the nozzle 102 and drives the drive device 105 according to the obtained printing procedure to move and open / close the nozzle 102 and inject the mortar. The 3D printer 100 first forms the bottom layer of the wall 1 corresponding to the two-dimensional data of the object without using a mold. Once the printing of the bottom layer is complete, the 3D printer 100 continues to form the layers to be stacked on top of it using the same procedure as described above. As the 3D printer 100 progresses in creating the wall 1 and the predetermined number of layers are printed, the 3D printer 100 stops printing, and the L-shaped portions of two reinforcing bars 1e are placed on the bulging portion 1a of the completed layers of wall 1 so that they are embedded, with the tips of each reinforcing bar 1e protruding radially into the bulging portion 1a. Then, the 3D printer 100 resumes printing, and the layers to be stacked on top of the previously completed layers are formed using the same procedure as described above. Once the predetermined number of layers are printed, the 3D printer 100 stops printing again, and the reinforcing bars 1e are placed radially on the bulging portion 1a of the completed layers of wall 1. The 3D printer 100 repeats the above procedure to print all the layers necessary for the production of wall 1. Once all the layers have been printed in this way, the production of wall 1 is complete, and a wall 1 with the reinforcing bars 1e embedded in the bulging portion 1a is obtained.

[0062] As mentioned above, the 3D printer 100 divides the three-dimensional shape of the wall 1 into thin layers in the vertical direction and prints the wall 1 by fabricating each divided layer, so that the wall 1 can stand on its own after completion.

[0063] Next, the procedure for constructing building B using the completed wall 1 will be explained. First, a foundation F is poured on the ground G on which the exterior wall W, formed by the wall 1, will be placed. The foundation F is formed by pouring concrete into reinforced formwork, although it is not shown in the diagram. As shown in Figure 1, the foundation F is shaped to be able to abut the bottom surface of the exterior wall W in at least a plan view in order to support the exterior wall W, and to be able to support the steel columns 3 that are erected in the recesses formed by the bulging portions 1a of each wall 1. Although not shown in the diagram, anchor bolts are embedded in the part where the steel columns 3 are erected to enable the connection of flanges 3a provided at the lower end of the steel columns 3.

[0064] After the construction of the foundation F is completed, prior to erecting the steel columns 3 on the foundation F, the wall body 1, which was previously manufactured by the 3D printer 100, is installed on the foundation F. First, mortar is laid on the upper surface of the foundation F where the outer wall W will be placed, and then, as shown in Figure 6, the six wall bodies 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 15L, and 16L of the lower wall WL are arranged in the circumferential direction to assemble the lower wall WL of the outer wall W. Since the wall bodies 11L, 12L, 13L, 14L, 15L, and 16L are self-supporting, they stand on their own after being placed on the foundation F without any support, and the lower wall WL is formed by the six wall bodies 1 (outer wall formation process). Note that, as in this embodiment, when the outer wall W is composed of a lower wall WL and an upper wall WU, the outer wall formation process, which is performed prior to the steel column installation process described later, outer wall This process may involve assembling only the lower wall WL of the W.

[0065] Adjacent lower wall W L In this structure, the wall bodies 1,1 are installed side by side in the circumferential direction with a predetermined gap between them. The protrusions 1c and 1d of adjacent wall bodies 1 are arranged so that they are staggered on the inside and outside when viewed from the interior side. As a result, the protrusions 1c and 1d face each other in a direction that penetrates the wall body 1 without interfering with each other. Therefore, a crank-shaped gap is formed between each adjacent wall body 1,1 in a plan view.

[0066] As shown in Figure 1, rock wool 8 is filled into the crank-shaped gap between adjacent wall bodies 1,1, and the gaps between the end of one wall body 1 and the protruding portion 1c of the other wall body 1, and between the protruding portion 1d of one wall body 1 and the end of the other wall body 1 are sealed by filling them with caulking material 5. In this way, the gaps between adjacent wall bodies 1,1 are filled with a filler made of flexible rock wool 8 and caulking material 5, so that when the building B vibrates due to seismic motion, the adjacent wall bodies 1,1 are allowed to vibrate independently, thereby suppressing cracks and damage to the exterior wall W formed by wall body 1. Note that glass wool may be used instead of rock wool 8 as the filler, or other elastic materials such as rubber may be used as the filler.

[0067] Note that wall 1 2L and wall 1 3L When they are adjacent, the notch 1f 2L and notch 1f 3L These two are connected to each other, and a rectangular opening is formed between them, and wall 1 2L and wall 1 3L Between them, wall 1 2L protruding part 1d 2L and wall 1 3L protruding part 1c 3L Only the crank-shaped gap between them is filled with a filler consisting of rock wool 8 and caulking material 5. Also, the wall body 1 3L and wall 1 4L When they are adjacent, the notch is 1g 3L and notch 1f 4L These two are connected to each other, and a rectangular opening is formed between them, and wall 1 3L and wall 1 4L Between them is wall 1 3L protruding part 1d 3L and wall 1 4L protruding part 1c 4L Only the crank-shaped gap between them is filled with a filler consisting of rock wool 8 and caulking material 5. 4L bulging portion 1a 4L The length of the right side is the length of wall 1 4U bulging portion 1a 4U Shorter than the length of the right side, wall 15L bulging portion 1a 5L The length on the left side is the wall 1 5U bulging portion 1a 5U Because it is shorter than the length to the right, wall 1 4L and wall 1 5L When they are adjacent, wall 1 4L The rightmost part and wall 1 5L Since the left end is far from the wall body 1, forming an opening, 4L The rightmost part and wall 1 5L The space between the left end and the left end is not filled with any material.

[0068] Thus, 6 wall bodies 1 1L ,1 2L ,1 3L ,1 4L ,1 5L ,1 6L Install it on the foundation F and lower wall W L After the assembly is complete, as shown in Figure 7, six steel columns 3 are erected on the foundation F, each positioned in a recess formed on the interior side at six bulging sections 1a of each wall body 1 (steel column installation process). Specifically, each steel column 3 is equipped with a flange 3a at its lower end, and the flange 3a is connected to anchor bolts embedded in the foundation F within the recesses at six bulging sections 1a of each wall body 1, thereby fixing and erecting it on the foundation F.

[0069] In this way, the lower wall W L After erecting six steel columns 3 on the interior side, the lower wall W of the exterior wall W is constructed as shown in Figure 8. L Using this as formwork, the lower wall W L Concrete is poured onto the ground inside to form the concrete floor 2 (concrete floor formation process). In this embodiment, the wall body 1 4L The rightmost part and wall 1 5L Since an opening is provided between the left end and the wall body 1 4L The rightmost part and wall 1 5L A barrier should be installed between the left end and the wall to prevent the concrete from leaking out. 4L The lower right edge and wall 1 5LIf the lower left end of the structure is extended to form a wall below the opening that can be used as formwork, the installation of the aforementioned weir is unnecessary.

[0070] When wall bodies 1 are arranged in this manner to form the exterior wall W, the exterior wall W is composed of independent wall bodies 1, and since wall bodies 1 are made of mortar, the exterior wall W can be treated the same as the foundation F, and can therefore be used as formwork for forming the concrete floor 2. Furthermore, the concrete floor 2 can be formed without installing formwork, eliminating the need for formwork installation and dismantling work, thus reducing the construction period.

[0071] Once the concrete floor 2 has been poured, the completed lower wall W L Reinforcing bars 6 for connecting the wall bodies are inserted into the through holes 1b of each wall body 1, and mortar 7 is filled into the through holes 1b, and the lower wall W L Mortar is laid on the upper end. The reinforcing bars 6 for connecting the wall have a length that allows them to be inserted through the entire length of the through holes 1b, 1b that connect when the upper wall 1 is stacked on the lower wall 1. Then, as shown in Figure 9, the wall 1 1L ,1 2L ,1 3L ,1 4L ,1 5L ,1 6L Above each corresponding upper wall W U Wall 1 1U ,1 2U ,1 3U ,1 4U ,1 5U ,1 6U They are lifted by a crane and stacked. Wall connection reinforcing bars 6 are connected to each wall of the upper layer. 1U ,1 2U ,1 3U ,1 4U ,1 5U ,1 6U through hole 1b 1U ,1b 2U ,1b 3U ,1b 4U ,1b 5U ,1b 6U The upper wall 1 is designed so that the reinforcing bars 6 for connecting the wall are inserted inside. 1U ,1 2U ,1 3U,1 4U ,1 5U ,1 6U Each corresponds to the lower wall 1 1L ,1 2L ,1 3L ,1 4L ,1 5L ,1 6L Align the layers from directly above and then lower them to create the stacks. Upper wall 1 1U ,1 2U ,1 3U ,1 4U ,1 5U ,1 6U Lower wall 1 1L ,1 2L ,1 3L ,1 4L ,1 5L ,1 6L When stacked, the upper wall 1 1U ,1 2U ,1 3U ,1 4U ,1 5U ,1 6U through hole 1b 1U ,1b 2U ,1b 3U ,1b 4U ,1b 5U ,1b 6U Pour mortar 7 into the hole to fill it.

[0072] Furthermore, a crank-shaped gap is formed between the ends of the upper wall sections 1,1 by the abutting of the protrusions 1c,1d, and this crank-shaped gap is filled with a filler consisting of rock wool 8 and caulking material 5.

[0073] In this way, the lower wall W L Upper wall W above U When these are stacked to form the outer wall W, the lower wall W L Wall 1 and upper wall W U Since the wall 1 is connected to the wall connecting reinforcing bars 6, the upper and lower wall 1,1 are firmly connected.

[0074] Then, after the exterior wall W is completed, steel beams 4 are placed across the upper ends of the six steel columns 3 to form a structural framework for building B using the steel columns 3 and steel beams 4. After the structure is completed, the reinforcing bars 1e embedded in the bulging portion 1a of each wall body 1 are welded to the steel columns 3 located within the same bulging portion 1a (fastening process). As a result, each wall body 1 constituting the exterior wall W is fastened to the steel columns 3 located within its own bulging portion 1a. In this way, the exterior wall W is fastened to the steel columns 3 that form the structure of building B and integrated, giving building B a structure similar to that of a steel frame building. Therefore, the tensile strength deficiency of the exterior wall W can be compensated for by the steel columns 3, resulting in a robust building B.

[0075] After the connection between the exterior wall W and the steel column 3 is completed, although not shown in the diagram, a ceiling slab is formed on the steel beam 4 and the roof finishing work is carried out. In this embodiment, the building B consists of only one floor, but if it is to have two or more floors, the same procedure as the assembly of the first floor's exterior wall W is used to stack the wall bodies 1 that form the exterior walls of the upper floors on top of the exterior wall W, and then the steel columns 3 and steel beams 4 are assembled on top of the steel column 3 and the wall bodies 1 are fastened to the steel columns 3. Also, if the building B has multiple floors, the exterior wall formation process, which is carried out prior to the steel column installation process, outer wall Of the W layers, only the lowest layer or the lowest layer exterior wall W is the lower wall W. L and upper wall W U If it is composed of the lower wall W L This process may also be considered as simply assembling the components. outer wall Of the W layers, only the lowest layer or the lowest layer exterior wall W is the lower wall W. L and upper wall W U If it is composed of the lower wall W L This concept includes the process of assembling only the steel frame. If building B has multiple floors, the steel frame column installation process in this invention refers to the process of installing the steel frame column 3 on the lowest floor.

[0076] In constructing building B according to this embodiment, since the wall body 1 that constitutes the exterior wall W is self-supporting, the wall body 1 can be placed on the foundation F without waiting for the steel columns 3 that support the wall body 1 to be installed on the foundation F. In other words, in building B according to this embodiment, a steel-framed building can be realized by installing the wall body 1 that constitutes the exterior wall W on the foundation F before installing the steel columns 3 on the foundation F, and then fastening the steel columns 3 and the wall body 1 together, so that the steel columns 3 do not get in the way when installing the wall body 1 on the foundation F.

[0077] In this embodiment, once the assembly of the outer wall W is complete, the wall body 1 2L ,1 2U ,1 3L ,1 3U Notch 1f 2L ,1f 2U ,1f 3L ,1f 3U A rectangular window opening is formed by the wall 1 3L ,1 3U ,1 4L ,1 4U 1g notch 3L 1g 3U ,1f 4L ,1f 4U A rectangular window opening is formed by the wall 1 4L ,1 5L Between the ends and wall 1 4U ,1 5U 1g of the notched part 4U ,1f 5U This forms a rectangular entrance / exit.

[0078] Then, after the roof of building B is finished, the aforementioned window opening will have a window frame (not shown in the diagram) and a shoji screen. and window and A door frame and door are installed at the entrance. . Pull Interior construction work will then be carried out inside Building B.

[0079] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the lower wall W LAlthough the steel columns 3 are erected on the foundation F after the installation and the concrete floor 2 is poured, if the steel columns 3 get in the way of assembling the exterior wall W, the steel columns 3 may be erected inside the exterior wall W and the concrete floor 2 poured after all of the wall bodies 1 that make up the first floor exterior wall W have been assembled. Also, the process of fastening the exterior wall W and the steel columns 3 may be done before pouring the concrete floor 2, or before the lower wall W L The connection between wall 1 and steel column 3. of After completion, upper wall W U Layers of wall 1 are stacked to form the upper wall W U The steel columns 3 may also be fastened to the reinforcing bars. Furthermore, since the connection between the exterior wall W and the steel columns 3 is made by welding the reinforcing bars 1e embedded in the wall body 1 of the exterior wall W to the steel columns 3, the reinforcing bars 1e protruding from the wall body 1 can be bent or otherwise aligned with the steel columns 3, allowing for some displacement of the wall body 1 and enabling flexible adjustments at the construction site. In addition to using the reinforcing bars 1e, anchor bolts may also be embedded in the wall body 1, and brackets that can be connected to the anchor bolts may be provided on the steel columns 3 to fasten them using anchor bolts.

[0080] As described above, the building B of this embodiment comprises an exterior wall W formed from a plurality of self-supporting wall bodies 1 created by a cement-based mixed fluid injected by a 3D printer 100, which is placed on a foundation F installed on the ground G, and a concrete floor 2 formed by concrete poured on the ground inside the exterior wall W using the exterior wall W as formwork. With building B configured in this way, the exterior wall W is formed by arranging self-supporting wall bodies 1, and the wall bodies 1 are formed by the solidification of the cement-based mixed fluid, so the exterior wall W can be treated the same as the foundation F, and the exterior wall W can be used as formwork for forming the concrete floor 2. Therefore, with building B of this embodiment, the concrete floor 2 can be formed without installing formwork, and the installation and dismantling of formwork becomes unnecessary, thus reducing the labor involved in construction and shortening the construction period.

[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, building B is equipped with multiple steel columns 3 erected on the inside of the exterior wall W and connected to the foundation F. The wall body 1 has reinforcing bars 1e embedded during fabrication by the 3D printer 100, and the reinforcing bars 1e are fastened to the steel columns 3 to fix the exterior wall W to the steel columns 3. With building B configured in this way, the exterior wall W is fastened to and integrated with the steel columns 3 that form the structure of building B, and building B has a structure similar to that of a steel frame building, so the steel columns 3 compensate for any tensile strength deficiency of the exterior wall W, making it robust. In addition, since the wall body 1 is fabricated by the 3D printer 100 and is self-supporting, the wall body 1 constituting the exterior wall W can be installed on the foundation F prior to the installation of the steel columns 3 on the foundation F, and the reinforcing bars 1e installed in the wall body 1 can be used to fasten it to the steel columns 3 later. Thus, according to the building B of this embodiment, the wall body 1 can be installed on the foundation F without being obstructed by the steel columns 3, making it possible to use exterior walls W with complex shapes, and enabling the realization of a steel-framed building even when using exterior walls W manufactured by a 3D printer 100. Therefore, according to the building B of this embodiment, the advantages of using a 3D printer 100 to manufacture exterior walls W can be enjoyed, and a steel-framed building B can be constructed inexpensively and in a short amount of time.

[0082] Furthermore, in the building B of this embodiment, the wall 1 has a bulge 1a that extends outward from the outer wall W to accommodate the steel column 3. As a result, the steel column 3 can be accommodated in the recess on the interior side of the bulge 1a, and the steel column 3 does not get in the way in the interior enclosed by the outer wall W, thus ensuring a large interior space. Note that while the wall 1 can have a large interior space by having the bulge 1a, it is not necessary for the wall 1 to have the bulge 1a.

[0083] Furthermore, in the building B of this embodiment, the exterior wall W has a portion formed by stacking wall bodies 1 vertically, and the wall body 1 has through holes 1b that penetrate in the vertical direction, and the through holes 1b of the lower wall body 1 and the through holes 1b of the upper wall body 1 stacked above the lower wall body 1 are in vertical communication with each other, and the building B is equipped with wall connecting reinforcing bars 6 inserted into the through holes 1b,1b and mortar 7 filled into the through holes 1b,1b. With the building B configured in this way, the exterior wall W can be made taller by stacking and connecting wall bodies 1 on top of each other, and the tensile strength of the wall bodies 1,1 stacked vertically can be improved because the wall bodies 1 fabricated by the 3D printer 100 are connected by wall connecting reinforcing bars 6. Note that the strength of the wall body 1 constituting the exterior wall W can be improved by dividing it into upper and lower parts and reinforcing it with wall connecting reinforcing bars 6, but the lower wall body 1 and the upper wall body 1 may be fabricated as a single unit by the 3D printer 100. Therefore, the exterior wall W may be formed solely by wall bodies 1 arranged horizontally.

[0084] Furthermore, in this embodiment, building B is equipped with rock wool (filler) 8 and caulking material (filler) 5 to fill the gaps between adjacent wall bodies 1 in the horizontal direction on the exterior wall W, allowing relative movement between the wall bodies 1,1. With building B configured in this way, when building B vibrates due to seismic motion, adjacent wall bodies 1,1 are allowed to vibrate independently, thus suppressing cracks and damage to the exterior wall W formed by the wall bodies 1. Alternatively, the gaps between wall bodies 1,1 may be filled with mortar to permanently connect the wall bodies 1,1 that are arranged in the circumferential direction.

[0085] Furthermore, the wall body 1 in this embodiment is formed from a cement-based mixed fluid injected by a 3D printer 100, and is equipped with a bulging portion 1a that bulges out toward one side in the width direction and forms a recess on the other side in the width direction midway along the horizontal direction. By providing the wall body 1 with this bulging portion 1a, the self-supporting ability of the wall body 1 is improved even if the wall thickness of the wall body 1 is thin, allowing it to be stably installed on the foundation F, and the design freedom of the shape of the wall body 1 is also improved, thus improving the design freedom of the shape of the exterior wall W.As mentioned above, the installation position of the bulging portion 1a on the wall body 1 is at the center in the horizontal direction of the wall body 1, but it is not limited to this, and the position can be arbitrarily changed on the wall body 1, and multiple bulging portions 1a can be provided on a single wall body 1.

[0086] Furthermore, since the wall body 1 in this embodiment is equipped with multiple reinforcing bars 1e that protrude into the recess formed by the bulging portion 1a, a steel-framed building B can be realized by fastening the reinforcing bars 1e to the steel column 3 erected in the recess, and because the reinforcing bars 1e can be bent or otherwise aligned with the steel column 3, a slight misalignment of the wall body 1 can be tolerated, allowing for flexible adjustments at the construction site.

[0087] Furthermore, the construction method of this embodiment includes an exterior wall forming step in which multiple self-supporting wall bodies 1, formed by a cement-based mixed fluid injected by a 3D printer 100, are arranged and installed on a foundation F installed on the ground G to form an exterior wall W, and a concrete floor 2 which is poured inside the exterior wall W using the exterior wall W formed in the exterior wall forming step as a formwork. formation This construction method includes a concrete floor formation process. With this construction method, a self-supporting wall 1 is arranged to form an exterior wall W, and the exterior wall W is used as formwork for forming the concrete floor 2. As a result, the concrete floor 2 can be formed without the installation of formwork, eliminating the need for formwork installation and dismantling work, thus reducing labor costs and shortening the construction period.

[0088] Furthermore, the construction method of this embodiment includes a steel column installation step in which steel columns 3 are erected on the foundation F inside the exterior wall W formed by the exterior wall formation step, and a fastening step in which reinforcing bars 1e, which are pre-embedded in the wall body 1, are fastened to the steel columns 3. With this construction method, the exterior wall W is fastened to the steel columns 3 that form the structure of the building B and integrated, so that the building B has a structure similar to that of a steel frame building. As a result, the sufficient tensile strength of the exterior wall W can be compensated for by the steel columns 3, making the building B sturdy.

[0089] In addition, in the aforementioned building B, there are no partition walls inside the interior of the building behind the exterior wall W. However, if it is desired to divide the interior into several rooms, partition walls (not shown) may be installed. Furthermore, to ensure structural strength, steel columns may be erected inside the building and connected to other steel columns 3 with steel beams to form a structural system. The partition walls may also be made from a cement-based mixed fluid injected by a 3D printer 100 and may be placed on the foundation F and used as formwork for forming the concrete floor 2.

[0090] Furthermore, the shape of the wall 1 can be arbitrarily modified as long as it is self-supporting when produced by the 3D printer 100. As mentioned above, it does not need to have bulging sections 1a, and multiple bulging sections 1a may be provided on a single wall 1.

[0091] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, modifications, alterations, and changes are permitted as long as they do not deviate from the scope of the claims. [Explanation of Symbols]
