Definitions

  • the invention relates to a building as described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to make a building with reduced expensive material, but furthermore to make the method of building at the building site even more straightforward in order to permit a building to be erected in a very short time and with a minimum of building skill.
  • the invention provides a building as described in claim 1.
  • DE-A-1940198 discloses a building element comprising a metal frame having circumferential profiles of omega cross section and having distance pieces between stiffening layers consisting of metal U-shaped profiles.
  • the application of these U-shaped profiles means the use of much expensive material and results in heavy building elements which is a great disadvantage when the building should be erected at another place than at the place of composing said panel.
  • the circumferential profiles with omega cross section are selected in this prior art panel for bounding at edges a space for receiving morter.
  • light-weight building elements are intercoupled by coupling means at the building site and after intercoupling the morter layer can be brought up as a continuous outerlayer.
  • the transport may be simplified by conveying the panel in separate, fitting components such as sheet profiles, rafters and mats, which are subsequently assembled on the building site.
  • the panels Due to the rims of the panel frames being each formed by a U-section profile the web of which has an inverted U-shaped groove, two neighbouring panels are connected with one another by coupling means being received in the U-shaped grooves, for instance by means of a coupling stroke, the panels can be also firmly secured by their grooves on annular protuberances of floor profiles and the panels can be also readily interconnected at the top by I-, T-section, angle- or cross pieces.
  • FR-A-2420613 discloses a building having panels comprising a frame, having a stiffening layer at its one side and being partly filled up with concrete. So here are not provided two remote stiffening layers. At any rate distance means between stiffening layers are not provided.
  • the building though having a light weight owing to the small quantity of material required, can be firmly anchored to the ground by means of ground anchors having at least one helical anchor to be screwed into the ground.
  • the building 1 of Fig. 1 comprises a floor frame 2 shown in Fig. 2 which is assembled from sheet profiles 3 shown in Fig. 11, which are located at the areas where outer walls have to be erected.
  • the profile 3 has a substantially U-shaped profile formed by a folded sheet of preferably 1,5 mms wall thickness, having an upwardly bulging web 4 and a rectangular, trapezoidal section with a basis width a.
  • a recess 5 is cut out of the web 4 of the adjoining profiles 3 so that after being slightly bent out the profiles 3 can be slipped one into the other and subsequently firmly fastened to one another by means of pop rivets 7 inserted into previously bored holes (see Fig. 3).
  • the ends of the profiles 3 can be interconnected by means of a U-shaped profile 64 bent over at right angles, the profiles 3 being spot-welded to the U-shaped profile 64 (see Fig. 23).
  • each ground anchor 14 has a shoulder 17 and above the latter a screwthreaded piece 18 with a nut 19 by which clamping plates 20 engaging the sheet profile 3 are retained.
  • the floor frame 2 is filled with concrete and/or filling material.
  • each structural element 22, 23, 24 has a metal frame 25 assembled from four sheet profiles 26 each mainly formed by a U-section profile, the web of which has a U-shaped groove 27. (Fig. 12).
  • the lower girder 28 of the frame 25 engages by its groove 27 the bulging web 4 of the sheet profile 3 and is riveted thereto.
  • the neighbouring structural elements 22, 23 and 24 are interconnected by means of coupling strokes 6 (Fig. 16) extending in the grooves 27.
  • the orthogonally disposed structural elements 22, 23 and 24 are interconnected by means of angle-, I-, cross-, or T-section coupling pieces 29, 30, 31 and 32 respectively shown in Figs. 15, 16, 17 and 18 respectively, engaging grooves 27 of the upper girders 33. In this manner the required resistance to wind is ensured.
  • the intermediate walls 17 are fastened as is shown in Fig. 20 to the floor slabs 73 by means of inverted U-shaped profiles 74, which are anchored to the floor 73 by means of key bolts 75.
  • the lower girders of the panels 83 of the intermediate walls 71 are positioned in the U-shaped profiles 74 and fastened thereto by screws 82. Afterwards the floor is completed by a coating 76.
  • each structural element 22, 24 is formed by a monolithic profiled piece 34 of folded sheet material having the profile of the sheet profiles 26 of Fig. 12.
  • Four frame rims 35 adapted to be relatively bent over at right angles are marked by three V-shaped notches 36 in each flange so that, as the case may be, the profiled piece 34 can be transported in a straight state to the building site, where it can be bent into the rectangular shape.
  • the flanges can - be welded to one another.
  • the flanges are connected with one another by corner plates 37 and/or angle-section pieces 38 and pop rivets.
  • Each structural element 22, 23 and 24 derives its firmness also from stay wires 39 and 40 in coplanar distribution.
  • Each stay 39, 40 has a zigzag wire 41 and straight wires 42 welded to the tops of the former.
  • the standing stay wires 39 are stronger than the lying stay wires 40.
  • Each stay 39 has a zigzag wire 41 arranged between every pair of wires 42, whereas each stay 40 has its zigzag wire 41 located in the same plane as the two straight wires 42.
  • the stay 40 is slightly narrower than the stay 39 and extends through each of the latter.
  • the ends of the stays 39 and 40 may be welded to the inner side of the sheet profiles 26. They are, moreover, welded together at their crossings. This can be simply carried out by spot-welding.
  • a fixing mat 43 for a plaster layer 44 is fastened to both sides of the sheet profiles 26, for example, again by spot-welding.
  • the fixing mat 43 is preferably formed by a plate of expanded metal.
  • the sheet profiles 26 and 60 preferably have flanges with series of holes 78, 79, through which can be passed twisting wires 69 to fasten the stay wires 39, 40 and/or the fixing mat 43 to the profiles 26, 60 to replace the welding operations.
  • the fixing mat 43 may extend, as the case may be, along two or more structural elements 22, 23, 24 and thus interconnect said structural elements. If desired, as is shown in Fig. 16, narrow mat strips 45 may be applied to the fixing mats 43 already arranged in place in overlap at the joints 49 between two neighbouring structural elements 22, 23, 24.
  • the building 1 of Fig. 1 comprises transverse girders 46 supported by two opposite outer walls and formed by Z-section profiles (see Fig. 22). These transverse girders 46 support roof plates 51 via rafters 47 lying on the transverse girders 46. Each rafter 47 comprises a frame 48 of profiles 50 stiffened by stay wires 62. The lower rims 63 of the roof plates 51 bear on the structural elements 23, 24 through wooden blocks 55, which are previously fixed to profiles 56 of Fig. 14, which fit in the grooves 27 of the sheet profiles 26 (see Fig. 4).
  • a fixing mat 57 is fastened, for example, by spot-welding or preferably by means of twisting wires 69 to flange holes 80 of the transverse girders 46 and to the profiles 26 in order to ensure that the plaster layer 58 of the walls is satisfactorily united at the corner rims to the plaster layer 59 of the ceiling.
  • Fresh air can freely penetrate into the space 81 between the roof plates 51 and the ceiling 72 formed by the transverse girders 46 with the plaster layer 59.
  • Figs. 1, 4 and 9 show that the structure element 23 has a window frame 60 formed by a fillet of sheet profiles 61 as shown in Fig. 13.
  • Each sheet profile 61 mainly comprises a U-section profile having stepped flanges 65.
  • the door frames 66 are likewise formed by sheet profiles 61.
  • Fig. 6 shows that the fixing mats 43 can be prolonged at a corner 67 of the building 1 via a rounded part. They may be spot-welded to sheet profiles and/or fastened by twisting wires 69 or round clamping rivets to stay wires 39, 40. 'Therefore, the plaster layer 44 can be continuous also at the corners 67.
  • thermoelectric materials 22 to 24 may be arranged heat insulating materials (not shown).
  • the structural elements 22, 23, 24 with the stay wires 39, 40 are robust and have, nevertheless, a light weight so that they can be manually transported. This results from the perfect stiffening and supporting . co-operation (composition material effect) between profiles and stay wires 39, 40 and from the fixing mats 43 rendered resistant to deformation by the plaster. The profiles and also the stay wires 39, 40 per se would be much too light to fulfil a supporting function.
  • the fixing mat 43 has two functions i.e. stiffening the panels and carrying the plaster coating.
  • the structural elements 22, 23, 24, which constitute infrastructural components are made to module length so that a high diversity of wall sizes is available.
  • the depth of the sheet profiles 26 and the stay wires 39, 40 will be a function of the height of the wall and the resultant transverse force to be met.
  • the same sheet profiles 26 are employed for the structural elements 22, 23, 24.
  • the variability of the dimensions and the possibility of using locally different plastering methods provide great planning freedom and enable maximum architectural integration in the local building style.
  • the metal used is preferably galvanized metal, for example, zinc-plated metal.
  • a building 1 can be transported in transportable units of a construction box of prefabricated parts from the metal words to the building site.
  • the extent of pre- mounting depends on the transport costs and on the degree of skill of the local builders.
  • buildings with flat roofs can be errected, in which for example, the outer walls directly support the roof slabs.
  • These roof slabs may or may not be provided with a plaster fixing mat. It is the very advantage of the invention that by using a uniform module, that is to say, uniform standard width of the panels 52, 53, 54 different buildings of different widths and lengths and different layouts may be built.
