The presen-t invention relates to a wall unit in-cluded in an exterior wall in a building and has both load-bearing and heat-insulating functions.
Such wall units are known in a variety of embodi-ments, although as with exterior building walls produced in other ways, -they have in common tha-t -they are distinctly separated from -the foundation wall forming the footing of the house. The separate erec-tion of foundation wall and outer wall, as well as providing a damp course and air in-filtration sealing in joints between them is comp~icated and laborious.
Thé present inven-tion therefore provides a labour-saving and cheapening simpliEication of the wall and foo-t-ing structures.
According to the present invention there is pro-vided a wall unit included in an outer wall in a house and having both load-bearing and heat-insulating functions, said wall unit comprising a slab of insulating material -to a height of more than one storey, s-tuds rigidly uni-ted with the insula-ting slab, said wall unit extending as an unbroken unit to form an exterior wall above a bottom floor s-truc-ture and also as a buliding footing thereunder down to the ground level, the studs being extended substantially to -the full height of the insulation slab and -the wall unit being carried at its bot-tom edge by a horizontal beam fixed to the foundation. Preferably the wall unit extends below ground level~
In one embodiment of -the present invention the bottom edge of the insulating slab has a slo-t which runs through or in edge contact with the studs for fixing coac-tion between the slab and the studs and an upwardly direc-ted edge flange on-the horizontal bec~m, with -the bottom ends of ~k , I . , J ~ ' 7~
-the studs bearing directly or via an intermediate element on a horizontal, outwardly directed bottom flange of the beam, which has the upwardly directed edge flange, and the top edge of the slab has a slot, said slot being adapted for fixing coaction be-tween the slab, studs and a downwardly directed leg on an angle section having -the function of a wall plate. Sui-tably the -top edge of the slab has a slo-t through the studs.
In another embodiment of the presen-t inven-tion -the studs are on the inside of -the insulating slab, said slab has recesses and is made of styrene cellular plastics and -the studs are made of multiply laminate and glued to the bot-toms and sides of -the recesses in the slab.
In still another embodiment of the presen-t inven-tion the slab downwardly and on its exterior accommodates exterior damp-insulating and surface-protecting cladding, a-t least below ground level. Preferably the slab in a portion of lesser thickness accommodates exterior damp-insulating and surface-protecting cladding.
The present invention also provides a wall com-prising wall units as set forth above arranged side by side, the wall units are carried by the sheet me-tal beam arranged as a footing along the wall, implemented as a Z-section and placed on building foundations wi-th its web oriented ver-tically along the inside of the wall unit and having the studs bearing directly or via an intermediate element, on the bottom outwardly directed flange of the beam. Suitably the wall is adapted to serve as a founda-tion wall and pro-tec-tion against ground radon, in which the Z-sec-tion beam carries with its top inwardly directed flange a second sheet metal beam having a C-sec-tion wi-th mutually opposing end ilanges and res-ting on its bottom chief flange, as well as one or more fur-ther sheet me-tal C-beams, s-tacked one on the . ~ ~

Preferably the wall is a basement or cellar wall. Sui-tably the building founda-tions are spot foundations or a foundation slab.
In an embodiment of the present invention vertical struts are placed between a subs-tructure fixed to the founda-tions and the top flange of the Z-section beam and be-tween the chief flanges on each of the second and the further beams. Desirably the top chief flange of the upper beam con-stitutes bearing for a floor structure forming a cellar ceiling. Pre~erably the Z-section beam is included in a frame structure made up from such beams and kept together wi-th coupling elements, said frame concurring with the plane configuration of -the building foundation and as a unit may be laid out before erecting the wall units for setting-out of the building foundation, and is furthermore utilizable as a form in pouring the foundation slab.

Figure 8 is a vertical partial section, similar to the one illustrated in Figures 1 and 3, but with the wall unit clad with facade brickwork.
The exterior wall illustrated in Figure 1 is built up from wall units, each of which primarily consists of a slab 1 of heat-insulating material with vertical recesses for accommodating studs 2, which are firmly united wi~h the insulat-ing material in the slab, e.g. by glueing along the sides and bottoms of the recesses. The slab 1 has sufficient length for extension over more than one storey, and forms with its stu~s
2 a unit which serves without a break as both exterior wall above the bottom floor structure 3 and also down to the founda-tion below the latter, under ground level also.
The wall unit is downwardly carried by a horisontal beam 4, which replaces the normal building footing and is fixed to the foundations. In the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2, this beam is a Z-section and has its web 5 engaging against the inside of the insulating s1ab 1, in which the studs 2 are accommodated in this case, the web thus engaging against the studs a1COJ and being connected to them with the aid Or con~entional fixing elements 6. The bottom edge of the wall unit bears ag;~inst the lower, horisontal, outwardly directed flange 7 of the beam 4. This flange has its end portion up-wardly foldcd to form an end flange 8 for coaction with a slot in the insulating slab 1, in which the end flange ~ thrusts.
The slot is situated in relation to the studs 2, the bottom ends of which bear against the flange 7~ such that one side is gxipped by the end flange 8, whereby the lower portion of the wall unit i5 effectively fixed.
7~
The wall unit is upwardly provided with a notch for the whole of its width, one surface of -the notch being horisontal and provided with a slot running through the in-sulating slab 1 and the upper end surfaces of the studs.
The downwardly directed leg 9 of an angle section 10 thrusts into this slot, the section itself serving as a top plate for supporting roof trusses an attic floor structure 11 or the like, and also for fixing the position of the upper portion of the wall unit. In the illustrated embodiments the studs 2 are situated on the inside of the insulating slab 1, and they extend substantially to the full height of the slab. Figure 1 may be regarded as a depiction of a single-storey building or a building with several storeys. The wall unit serving as a combination of footing and outer wall may extend in height over several storeys, or only up through the bottom storey height, possbile upper storeys having their own similar separate wall units.
The insulating slab 1 may suitable be produced from cellular plastics or similar material, particularly foamed styrene plastics, and the studs 2 can be made froln wood, r.etal or plastics with appropriate strength properties. A suitable material is multi-laminated wood.
The wall units consisting of the insulating slab 1 with the studs 2 have low weight even for considerable for-mats, if they are made from cellular plastics and wood, forexample, and are therefore easy to handle. Exterior and interior claddings 12 and 13 are therefore suitably erected after the ~1a;.1 uni'~s.1'o avoid the joints between the wail units coinciaing with the ~oints in i.nterior cladding 13, such as building bc~rd, the latter are made at the studs 2 situated at the distance from the side edges of the insulating slab 1.
Figures 1 and 2 give examples on how the beams ~
carrying the wall units are arranged on posts 14, e.g. steel piping, cast into spot foundations 15. The beams 4 are put together from previously determined beam lengths to form a frame structure, such as the one illustrated in Figure 6, representing the building foundation area and configuration ~%~197~;
in plan. Ready-manufactured coupling elements, e.g. corner elements 16, are suitably used for putting the structure toyether. The frame is put into position, and setting-out can be reduced to one reference point and a reference direc-tion, or two reference points/ these points or point havingcounter~art on the frame. In the embodiment according to Figure 1, the posts 14 are also fixed to the beams 4 or the corner elements 16, and the frame adjusted to the right heiyht before the spot foundations 15 are poudred round the lower ends of the posts. Suitably, the frame is then fin~
adj~sted bcfore the concrete has set.
The beams carrying the wall units may be incorporated in a structure including a foundation slab, and in this case the beam framework may be used (see Figure 7) as a form when the slab is poured. Here it i5 suitable to reinforce the frame. e.g. with tension rods 17 provided wiih th;eads and nuts 18 at either end, the rods being arranged between opposing beams. The excess portions of the threaded ends can be cut off after the concrete ahs set in order to minimize the indenta'ions made in the wall unit. The frame is also used first as ar. aid in setting-out and may have been provided w-th the wall units as well.
Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the wall unit used in a building with a cellar. The Z beam 4 is here illustrated as placed on a foundation slab, but may of course be placed as illustrated in Figure 7. In order that earth pressure may be taken into account, the wall unit is reinforced with an interior structure which simultaneously affords protection against ground radon. This structuxe consists, apart from the Z beam 4, of further sheet metal beams 19 having a C-shaped section with mutally opposing and flanges. Between the chief flanges of each such C-beam 19, as well as between the upper flange of the beam 4 and the substructure there are spaced vertical struts, e.g. of wood, plastics or metal, provided as reinforcing. The upper chief flange of the upper beam 19 is used here as bearing for the bottom floor struc-ture 20.

The interior wall structure may be used for reinforcing the wall unit to an optional height, e.g. corresponding only to the cellar depth or corresponding substantially to the full height of the wall unit, where the building may be of any kind at all, e.g. an industrial building with great height to its caves and no basement. Instead of several beams 4, 19, it is possible to use a single high ~ beam (n~t shown), e.g.
with a welded~in web, extending up to the desired height.
Similarly it is possible to use an entirely optional number of C beams 19.
Instead of the sheet metal Z beams carrying the wal units, other beams can be conceived as utilizable, e.g. con-crete beams 21 with cross sections according to Figures 5a, Sb or 5c. In these cases as well, the wall unit studs 2 are fixed to the beams with conventional fixing elements 6.
The portions of the insulating slab 1 (Figures 1-4 and 8) under ground and immediately above ground are provided with a damp insulating exterior layer 22, possibly contoured, for providing an air space between the exterior layer 22 and the insulating slab 1.
Figure 8 illustrates the wall unit clad with facade brickwork. ~ damp insulating and ourface-reinforcing material, e.g. a slab 2; of concrete, is placed against the wall unit 1 such as to form a footing or the brickwork 24.
There is also schematically illustrated in Figure 1 means for the mentioned adjustment in height of the structural frames 4, 16. The spot foundations 15 are poured in tubular forms, down into which the posts 14 are thrust. Adjusting screws 25 bear against the ends of the tubular walls at each foundation, these screws being mounted in a yoke, a plate 26, which is in turn attached to the post 14 or lifts it via the beam 4.
Strips 27 of heat-insulating material are inserted in edge slots :Ln the joints between the wall units, see Figures 2 and 4, covering and sealing the joint.
The wall unit is downwardly carried by a horisontal beam 4, which replaces the normal building footing and is fixed to the foundations. In the embodiment according to Figures 1 and 2, this beam is a Z-section and has its web 5 engaging against the inside of the insulating s1ab 1, in which the studs 2 are accommodated in this case, the web thus engaging against the studs a1COJ and being connected to them with the aid Or con~entional fixing elements 6. The bottom edge of the wall unit bears ag;~inst the lower, horisontal, outwardly directed flange 7 of the beam 4. This flange has its end portion up-wardly foldcd to form an end flange 8 for coaction with a slot in the insulating slab 1, in which the end flange ~ thrusts.
The slot is situated in relation to the studs 2, the bottom ends of which bear against the flange 7~ such that one side is gxipped by the end flange 8, whereby the lower portion of the wall unit i5 effectively fixed.

The wall unit is upwardly provided with a notch for the whole of its width, one surface of -the notch being horisontal and provided with a slot running through the in-sulating slab 1 and the upper end surfaces of the studs.
The downwardly directed leg 9 of an angle section 10 thrusts into this slot, the section itself serving as a top plate for supporting roof trusses an attic floor structure 11 or the like, and also for fixing the position of the upper portion of the wall unit. In the illustrated embodiments the studs 2 are situated on the inside of the insulating slab 1, and they extend substantially to the full height of the slab. Figure 1 may be regarded as a depiction of a single-storey building or a building with several storeys. The wall unit serving as a combination of footing and outer wall may extend in height over several storeys, or only up through the bottom storey height, possbile upper storeys having their own similar separate wall units.
