-
FIG. 9 illustrates a cross section on a scale larger than the one of the previous images.

FIG. 10 illustrates, on a small scale and in different floors, the possible coupling of l-shaped and u-shaped floors with the first “L” or “U” modular element installed, according to the expansion/modification needs of the project, etc., taking into account the lateral slope of the roof slabs. -
FIG. 11 illustrates a schematic and perspective view of the movement of 2 or 3 external lateral molds (a), according to the versions of the projects and the whole internal mold (b) to cast the modular element. -
FIG. 12 illustrates a perspective view of an example of one of the techniques to lift the “L” or “U” modular element through slings (18) incorporated to the “hanger” of (19) a crane jib (20) after the casting and the setting time required to be lifted and left on the ground, piles, etc. - With regard to technical resources used, the appearance on the market of cranes or crane jibs incorporated to trucks together with additives and self-compacters as fluidizers to be incorporated to the reinforced concrete, which improve and control the casting with low or high temperatures and with internal or external molds which allow to obtain with a single casting a regular or irregular volumetric prismatic piece formed by the support beams, the floor, the walls, the coating, are the principle of the claimed subject matter, enabling them to be cast in factory and transported or to be cast in place and coupled with the crane depending on the project.
- With regard to needs which led to the claimed subject matter, to provide one-store or two-stores houses for people with very low purchasing power, easy to manufacture and set-up using reinforced concrete as base material (facility to obtain the materials), with only one casting for every modular element (support beams, floor, walls and coating) with low labor and therefore with costs 50% lower than the ones for similar traditional houses—concrete is a material with a cost lower than other materials, unskilled labor and incorporated coating. These houses facilitate self-construction, are easily and fast enlarged, need no maintenance and have bioclimatic properties that traditional houses usually do not have (because of the use of expanded polystyrene in the walls and air chambers below the floor slab between the support beams)
- The possibility to couple one or more modular elements to existing houses in a very fast way in order to solve any immediate housing problem.
- It is also possible to deliver one or more modular elements with or without finishes, so the user himself may continue, reducing the cost even more.
- Another advantage of the claimed subject matter is its simple and minimum infrastructure for casting and assembling since it only needs the molds (in a quantity proportional to the houses/time required) and a 25T truck crane and unskilled labor carried out by work cooperatives which shall employ staff and shall also have houses for their own workers, for mutual assistance associations, municipalities or other purposes.
- Once the precast modular element of continuous reinforced concrete slab, of varying composition and thickness and of diverse shapes and sizes, forming a volumetric piece with regular or irregular prismatic shape, with support beams made of the same material integrated to the external part of the lower face, which may be transported or cast in place, and may be used alone or with other similar elements in one or two levels as rooms, houses or other purposes is used, modifications and/or improvements may be made in the different versions of the element. Such modifications or improvements shall be included in the scope of protection determined in the main parts of the claims.
- Although the subject matter has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features or acts described above. Rather, the specific features and acts described above are disclosed as example forms of implementing the claims.
