Description

WALL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A WALL ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to a wall assembly of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 and a
method for producing a wall assembly.
A wall assembly according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in KR 10-2000400 B1. The
upper and lower bars are designed as sheet metal angles that are mounted on a supporting wall.
The vertical struts are then passed through the holes in the upper bar and arranged in receptacle
cups on the lower bar. The perforated area of the wall is then bricked up.
The invention is based on the object of creating a wall assembly of the generic type that is easy
to construct. A further object of the invention is to specify a simple method for constructing a wall
assembly.
This object is achieved with respect to the wall assembly by a wall assembly having the
features of claim 1 and by a wall assembly having the features of claim 4. This object is achieved
with respect to the method by a method having the features of claim 13.
It has been shown that the exact arrangement of the reinforcing structure on the supporting
structure is not always possible without problems. If the upper and/or lower beam is not positioned
exactly in the vertical direction, the resulting joints between the layers of bricks between which
the respective beam is positioned are too thick or too thin, which negatively affects the overall
visual impression of the wall. In order to avoid this visual impairment, it is provided according to
the invention that the reinforcing structure is connected to the supporting structure via an
adjustment device that allows an adjustment of at least one bar of the reinforcing structure in
relation to the supporting structure in the vertical direction.
The adjustment device advantageously allows an adjustment of at least one bar of the
reinforcing structure in the horizontal direction. A simple design results when the adjustment
device includes a first detent surface on the reinforcing structure, which engages in a second detent surface on the supporting structure. This enables easy adjustment and secure fixation in the vertical and/or horizontal direction.
It has been shown that the arrangement of the bars and the struts in the prior art is comparatively
complex. An independent inventive concept relates to the arrangement of the struts and at least the
lower bar. In order to reduce the effort involved in arranging the bars and struts in relation to the
prior art, it is provided according to independent claim 4 according to the invention that the lower
bar and all struts are firmly connected to one another independently of the mortar of the wall and
form a force-absorbing, stable assembly.
As a result, the lower bar can be arranged, fixed, and adjusted together with the struts as an
assembly on the supporting structure. As a result, the effort involved in producing the area of the
wall which is broken through is significantly reduced. During the production of the wall, the lower
bar and struts can be positioned and fixed as an assembly on the supporting structure. The bricks
can then be positioned on the struts and connected to one another and to the struts by means of
mortar. Very easy production of the wall on the construction site is thus possible.
It can be provided that the upper bar is connected to all struts via detachable connections, in
particular via screw connections, which allow the position of the upper bar in relation to the struts
to be adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the struts during production of the wall assembly.
As a result, despite the prefabrication, a slight adaptation of the position of the upper bar is
possible, for example to adapt to variations in the joint height. Because the upper bar is fixed on
the struts via detachable connections, the arrangement of the layer of bricks arranged directly
below the upper bar is also simplified. The upper bar can be removed to arrange the layer or layers
of brick immediately below the top bar or can be arranged on the struts only after this layer or
layers of brick have been arranged. In this way, this layer or layers of bricks can easily be arranged
between adjacent struts, even if the recesses of the bricks extend to the transverse side of the bricks.
At least one strut is preferably connected to at least one bar via a welded connection. All struts
are particularly preferably connected to the lower bar via welded connections. This allows the lower bar to be mounted together with the struts. It can be advantageous for the struts to be connected to the upper bar and to the lower bar via welded connections. The struts then form a dimensionally stable, force-transmitting frame with the upper and the lower bar, which can be mounted as an assembly and adjusted in relation to the supporting structure. In this case, the frame structurally specifies both the distance between the upper and the lower bar and the grid in which the bricks are to be arranged and thus the distance between adjacent bricks in a layer.
It can be provided that the at least one strut ends at the upper bar. Alternatively it can be
provided that the at least one strut protrudes beyond the upper bar. In this case, the at least one
strut can position one or more layers of bricks arranged above the upper bar. It can be provided
that the at least one strut ends at the lower bar. Alternatively it can be provided that the at least one
strut protrudes downward below the lower bar. In this case, the at least one strut can position one
or more layers of bricks arranged below the lower bar.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, the peripheral sides of the bricks to which the recesses
extend are transverse sides of the bricks in at least one layer of bricks. The transverse sides of the
bricks extend from one flat side of the wall to the other flat side of the wall. It can be provided that
at least one, in particular the uppermost or the uppermost two layers of bricks arranged under the
upper bar have at least one recess which is formed on a long side of the brick forming a flat side
of the wall. As a result, these bricks can be pushed laterally against the struts and do not have to
be tilted between the struts in order to be arranged on the struts. As a result, even with a small
distance between the upper bar and the layer of bricks arranged directly below the uppermost bar,
it is possible to mount the bricks with the upper bar fixed on the struts.
The supporting structure advantageously comprises at least one support arranged outside of
the wall. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that at least one bar is fixed outside the
perforated area in the mortar between layers of bricks lying one on top of another. In this case, the
supporting structure is at least partially formed by the area of the wall arranged outside of the
perforated area.
Each brick of the perforated area preferably has at least one recess. Advantageously, a strut of
the reinforcing structure extends through each recess of a brick that is arranged in the perforated
area. In a preferred embodiment, each brick of the perforated area has two recesses. As a result,
the bricks of the perforated area - possibly with the exception of the one to three layers of bricks
arranged under the upper bar - can be formed identically. The recesses extending outside of the
perforated area then have no function.
The struts are preferably arranged in a regular grid. However, in order to achieve an irregular
structure of the perforated area, the distances between adjacent struts can also vary.
For a method for producing a wall assembly, it is provided that the lower bar of the reinforcing
structure and the struts are fixed as an assembly on the supporting structure and adjusted at least
in the vertical direction, advantageously in the vertical direction and in at least one horizontal
direction in relation to the supporting structure. Bricks are then advantageously arranged on the
struts. The bricks are advantageously laid with an intermediate layer of mortar. The bricks are
advantageously fixed on the struts via the mortar.
In one embodiment variant, it is provided that the upper bar is fixed on the supporting structure
with the lower bar and the struts of the reinforcing structure as an assembly. In an alternative
embodiment, it is provided that after the last layer of bricks has been arranged below the upper
bar, the upper bar is fixed to the struts, in particular via screw connections.
In the following, exemplary embodiments of the invention will be explained in greater detail
with reference to the drawings. In the figures:

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show a perspective illustration of a wall assembly 1. The wall assembly
1 comprises a wall 2. The wall 2 is constructed from bricks 7. The wall 2 comprises a perforated
area 3 in which openings 4 are formed between adjacent bricks 7 of a layer 8 of bricks 7. The
openings 4 results due to an increased distance a between adjacent bricks 7 of a layer 8 of bricks.
The distance a is not filled with mortar. Mortar 23, which is not shown in Figures 1 and 2, is provided between sections of bricks 7 arranged directly one above the other and directly adjacent to one another. In Figure 3, mortar 23 between some of the bricks 7 is shown as an example.
The wall assembly 2 comprises a reinforcing structure 5 for supporting the wall. The
reinforcing structure 5 is fixed to a supporting structure 6. The reinforcing structure 5 absorbs
forces acting perpendicularly on the wall 2 and dissipates them into the supporting structure 6. In
Figures 1 and 2, the reinforcing structure 5 is largely covered by bricks 7 of the wall 2.
The wall 2 has an outer flat side 9 and an inner flat side 10. The flat side 9 is the visible side
of the wall 2. The inner flat side 10 can face toward the outer wall of a building and therefore
cannot be visible from the outside. Alternatively it can be provided that the inner flat side 10 is
also a visible side. In the exemplary embodiment, the supporting structure 6 is arranged adjacent
to the inner flat side 10. The supporting structure 6 is hardly or not at all visible from the outer flat
side 9.
Each brick 7 has an upper side 11 and a lower side 12. Each brick 7 has longitudinal sides 13
which extend along one of the flat sides 9, 10 of the wall. Each brick 7 has transverse sides 14
which extend from one flat side 9 to the other flat side 10. In the perforated area 3, the transverse
sides 14 delimit the openings 4.
In the exemplary embodiment, the supporting structure 6 comprises two supports 22. A
different number of supports 22 can also be provided. The reinforcing structure 5 is fixed to the
supports 22 via adjustment devices 19. The adjustment devices 19 allow the reinforcing structure
5 to be adjusted in the vertical direction in relation to the supporting structure 6. In addition, an
adjustment in at least one horizontal direction can also be possible. The adjustment in the
horizontal direction is advantageously an adjustment in the longitudinal direction of the wall 2
and/or an adjustment perpendicular to the wall 2.
As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the reinforcing structure 5 comprises an upper bar 16 and a lower
bar 17. The bars 16 and 17 are designed as flat metal strips. However, a different design, for
example as an angle or as a profile, can also be advantageous. As shown in Figure 3, the bars 16 and 17 are arranged in the exemplary embodiment between layers 8 of bricks 7 lying one on top of the other. In an alternative design, it can be provided that the bars 16 and/or 17 delimit the wall
2 at the top and/or bottom. Struts 18 extend between the bars 16 and 17. In the exemplary
embodiment, the struts 18 end at the bars 16 and 17. However, it can also be provided that the
struts 18 are continued upward over the upper bar 16 and/or downward beyond the lower bar 17,
in particular in order to position further layers 8 of bricks 7 arranged above the upper bar 16 and/or
below the lower bar 17.
The struts 18 extend through layers 8 of bricks 7 lying one on top of another. The struts 18 are
advantageously aligned vertically. In the exemplary embodiment, the struts 18 are arranged at a
regular distance c from one another. The distance c is preferably measured in the horizontal
direction. Different distances c between adjacent struts 18 can also be advantageous. In the
exemplary embodiment, the struts 18 are firmly connected both to the upper bar 16 and to the
lower bar 17. The bars 16 and 17 form a dimensionally stable, fixed frame 21 with the struts 18.
The frame 21 is dimensioned such that it is at least capable of absorbing the forces which act on
the section of the perforated area 3 enclosed by the frame 21.
As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, the bars 16 and 17 lie completely between the flat sides 9
and 10 of the wall 2 and do not protrude beyond the flat sides 9 and 10. The bars 16 and 17
advantageously have a distance d from the flat sides 9 and 10 which is preferably at least partially
filled with mortar 23. As a result, the bars 16 and 17 are hardly visible.
In the exemplary embodiment, fastening tabs 30 are formed on the bars 16 and 17, which
protrude beyond the wall 2 on the inner flat side 10 and using which the reinforcing structure 5 is
fixed to the supporting structure 6.
As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the struts 18 protrude into recesses 20 of bricks 7 lying one above
the other. The struts 18 are arranged completely within the wall 2 between the flat sides 9 and 10.
After arrangement, the recesses 20 are advantageously filled with mortar 23 so that the struts 18
are not visible in the finished wall 2.
As Figure 6 shows, the supports 22 are designed as U-profiles in the exemplary embodiment.
The supports 22 preferably consist of steel. However, a different design of the supports 22 can also
be advantageous. Adjacent struts 18 have a distance c from one another. The distance c is equal
for all struts 18 in the exemplary embodiment. This results in a regular pattern of bricks 7 and
openings 4. Different distances c can also be advantageous.
The struts 18, together with the upper bar 16 and the lower bar 17, form a stable frame 21
which is designed to absorb the forces which act perpendicularly on the area of the wall 2 (Figure
1) enclosed by the frame 21, for example wind forces.
As shown in Figure 7, the struts 18 are connected to the lower bar 17 via welded connections
26 in the exemplary embodiment. Corresponding welded connections 26 are advantageously
provided between the struts 18 and the upper bar 16 . A stable design of the frame 21 is achieved
in this way.
Figure 8 shows an exemplary embodiment of one of the adjustment devices 19 in an enlarged
view. The further adjustment devices 19 are advantageously designed accordingly. Adjustment
devices 19 are preferably provided both for the lower bar 17 and for the upper bar 16. A first detent
surface 27 is formed on the support 22 and is formed by horizontally extending grid elevations. In
the exemplary embodiment, the detent surface 27 is formed on a first detent plate 37 which is
firmly connected to the support 22. A second detent surface 28 engages in the first detent surface
27 and is connected to the fastening tab 30 in the vertical direction. The second detent surface 28
is formed on a second detent plate 38 (Figure 10). In the exemplary embodiment, a fastening screw
32 is provided which protrudes through the second detent plate 38. The fastening screw 32 is
screwed into a fastening nut 33, as also shown in Figure 9. In the first detent surface 27 and the
support 22, a vertical slot 29 shown schematically in Figure 8 is provided. In Figure 9, the slot 29
in the support 22 is visible. The vertical slide 29 allows the fastening screw 32, the fastening tab
30, and the first detent plate 37 to move in relation to the support 22 and thus the fastening tab 30
and the reinforcing structure 5 to be adjusted in the vertical direction in relation to the support 22.
The fastening tab 30 advantageously has a horizontal slot 31, which is shown in Figure 10, for
example. The horizontal slot 31 allows an adjustment in the horizontal direction, parallel to the
longitudinal direction of the wall 2.
In the embodiment according to Figures 8 and 9, the fastening tab 30 is formed in two parts.
The fastening tab comprises a horizontal extension 39 on the associated bar 16 and an angle 40,
which is displaceable in relation to the horizontal extension 39 in the horizontal direction
perpendicular to the plane of the wall 2 via slots 41 and is fixable by means of a fastening screw
42. As a result, an adjustment in the direction perpendicular to the wall 2 is possible.
In the exemplary embodiment according to Figure 10, the fastening tab 30 is formed in one
piece with the associated bar 16 and is angled. No adjustment in the direction perpendicular to the
plane of the wall 2 is provided here. With regard to the slots 29 and 31 and the detent surfaces 27
and 28, the embodiment of Figure 10 corresponds to the embodiment of Figures 8 and 9.
Due to the detent surfaces 27 and 28, a simple adjustment is possible since the fastening screw
32 in the fastening nut 33 only has to be tightened slightly at first until a preliminary adjustment
is achieved. Due to the detent surfaces 27 and 28, a pre-fixation is achieved even with a slight
tightening.
As shown in Figures 11 to 17, the fastening tabs 30 on the upper bar 16 protrude downwards
in the exemplary embodiment and the fastening tabs 30 on the lower bar 17 protrude upwards. In
the exemplary embodiment, the frame 21 is delimited at the top by the upper bar 16 and at the
bottom by the lower bar 17. No part of the reinforcing structure 5 protrudes beyond the upper bar
16 and the lower bar 17. A different orientation of the fastening tabs 30 can also be advantageous.
As shown in Figures 14 to 17, the fastening tabs 30 are formed as one-piece angles in the
illustrated exemplary embodiment. As Figure 16 shows, the upper bar 16 and the lower bar 17
have a distance b from one another. The distance b can be specified in a structurally fixed manner
if the upper bar 16 is permanently connected to the struts 18. However, it can also be provided that
the distance b is adjustable. For this purpose, adjustable connections are advantageously provided between the struts 18 and the upper bar 16, as will be described hereinafter with regard to Figure
23.
However, a different design of the adjustment devices 19 can also be advantageous.
Figures 19 to 21 show the lower bar 17 as an individual part before it is fixed to the struts 18.
The upper bar 16 can advantageously be of identical design. In the exemplary embodiment, the
lower bar 17 has openings 36 for the struts 18. As a result, the position of the struts 18 on the
respective bar 16, 17 is specified. During the production of the frame 21, the struts 18 are
positioned on the bars 16, 17 and then preferably welded.
Figure 22 shows an alternative embodiment for a supporting structure. In the embodiment
according to Figure 22, the wall 2 (Figure 1) forms the supporting structure. An anchoring section
34, which protrudes laterally from the perforated area 3 of the wall 2 into the area of the wall 2 in
which no openings 4 are formed between adjacent bricks 7, is arranged on the upper bar 16. The
anchoring section 34 has openings 35 into which mortar can penetrate. The anchoring section 34
is fixed by the mortar in the area of the wall 2 that is not provided with openings 4. It can be
provided that the upper bar 16 and/or the lower bar 17 are anchored by means of anchoring sections
34 on one or both sides instead of on supports 22 between layers of bricks of the wall 2 lying one
on top of another.
Figure 23 shows an alternative embodiment for fastening the upper bar 16 to the struts 18. In
the exemplary embodiment according to Figure 23, the upper bar 16 is fixed to the struts 18 via
screw connections 24. For this purpose, a nut 25 is screwed onto a thread formed on the strut 18
in each case above and below the upper bar 16. By fixing the upper bar 16 via detachable
connections, in the exemplary embodiment via screw connections 24, the upper bar 16 can be fixed
to the struts 18 after the uppermost layer of bricks 7 has been arranged below the upper bar 16.
This simplifies the production of the uppermost layer or layers below the upper bar 16.
Figures 24 to 26 show the design of the bricks 7 in detail. All bricks 7 that protrude into the
perforated area 3 are preferably of identical design. Other designs of individual bricks 7, preferably
individual layers 8 of bricks 7, can also be advantageous.
Figure 24 shows the upper side 11, a longitudinal side 13, and a transverse side 14 of the brick
7. In Figure 24, recesses 20 of the brick 7 are also clearly visible. Figure 25 shows a top view of
the upper side 11 and Figure 26 shows a side view of a longitudinal side 13. As shown in Figures
24 to 26, two recesses 20 are provided on the opposite transverse sides 14 of the brick 7. For bricks
7 which protrude into the perforated area 3 with only one side, a design having only one recess 20
can also be provided.
The recesses 20 are open to a circumferential side of the brick extending between the upper
side 11 and the lower side 12. Via the peripheral side, the brick 8 can be pushed over a strut 18
and fixed there using mortar 23 (Figure 3). If the recesses 20 are open on opposite transverse sides
14, the brick 7 can be tilted for this purpose.
In Figure 25, an alternative design for the recesses 20 is shown by dashed lines. The recesses
20 indicated by dashed lines open to a common longitudinal side 13 and are closed to the transverse
sides 14. This design of the recesses 20 allows a brick 7 to be pushed in the horizontal direction
onto two struts 18 starting from one flat side, preferably starting from the outer flat side 9. As a
result, an arrangement of bricks 7 directly below the upper bar 16 is also possible.
The recesses 20, which open onto the transverse sides 14, have the result that the longitudinal
sides 13 are formed continuously closed. This results in an attractive exterior of the wall 2 in the
perforated area 3.
To produce the wall 2, it is provided that initially at least the lower bar 17 and the struts 18,
which are firmly connected to the lower bar 17, are mounted on the supporting structure 6 and are
adjusted in relation to the supporting structure and, if necessary, in relation to layers 8 of bricks 7
arranged underneath the lower bar 17. It can be provided that the upper bar 16 forms a
dimensionally stable frame 21 with the lower bar 17 and the struts 18 and the entire frame 21 is mounted on the supporting structure 6 and adjusted. However, it can also be provided that the upper bar 16 is only mounted when the layer 8 of bricks 7 arranged directly below the upper bar
16 has been laid. If one or more layers 8 of bricks 7 are provided below the lower bar 17, as in the
exemplary embodiment, this lowermost layer 8 or these lowermost layers 8 of bricks 7 are
preferably produced first. This layer or layers 8 of bricks 7 arranged below the lower bar 17 can
have openings 4. However, it can also be provided that this layer or layers 8 of bricks 7 are
produced without openings 4.
After the arrangement and adjustment of the lower bar 17 with the struts 18, the bricks 7 are
positioned in layers in the grid provided by the struts 18 and fixed by means of mortar 23. If both
recesses 20 extend to transverse sides 14 of the bricks 7, the bricks 7 can be tilted for arrangement
on the struts 18.
After reaching the upper bar 16, a further section of the wall 2 can be produced above the upper
bar 16, wherein this further section of the wall 2 can have openings 4 or can be produced without
openings 4.
If the upper bar 16 was not positioned and fixed together with the lower bar 17, then after the
last layer 8 of bricks 7 has been produced below the upper bar 16, the upper bar 16 is positioned
on the struts 18 and fixed. The upper bar 16 is advantageously connected to the struts 18 via
detachable connections, for example via the screw connections 24 shown in Figure 23. A
connection via welded connections 26 can also be advantageous. The upper bar 16 is adjusted in
relation to the supporting structure 6 and connected thereto.
