Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new construction of a wall member for building of houses in one or several flats.
  • a wall member of the general type, which the present invention relates to appears from e.g. Swedish Patent Specification No. 8902760-1 disclosing a wall member having essentially C-shaped cross-section, with an upper flange and a lower flange and a web extending therebetween. Pillar beams extend between the upper and lower flanges and support the load between the flanges. In such a construction, the web can be made thinner and, thus, a better insulation of the wall member can be obtained. Such insulation is placed in the free spaces between the flanges and the pillar beams.
  • foot portion (lower beam flange) of this wall member is not necessarily foreseen with reinforcements, no hint is given that the foot portion does not sustain any essential load being transferred via the pillar beams (vertical bracing).
  • the pillar beams are cast in one piece with a foundation plate.
  • a number of edge blocks are adapted along the foundation.
  • Each edge block is provided with an outer plastered surface and the remaining portion is made of cellular plastics comprising vertical grooves in which the concrete flows at the casting of the foundation plate for forming load carrying "legs".
  • An upper beam or flange transmits load from brick walls or similar positioned thereabove through the "legs" to the the foundation plate.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a wall member for buildings comprising an upper flange, a bottom foot portion, a depending front web extending between the upper flange and the foot portion, and several essentially vertical pillar beams extending from the upper flange to the foot portion.
  • said foot portion has a smaller dimension in the transversal direction compared to said upper flange and is essentially without reinforcements whereby the load from a wall member positioned thereabove is transmitted to the flange and thence to the building member therebelow via the pillar beams without any essential loading of the foot portion and the front web.
  • the upper flange is provided with an uppwardly and inwardly extending support portion which forms an inside portion of the flange, and an abutment surface which forms an outside portion, whereby the abutment surface is recessed in relation to the support portion.
  • a guiding surface between said support portion and said abutment portion for cooperation with a foot portion of an upper wall member for guiding it to its correct position at the abutment surface.
  • Said pillar beams may be chamfered at the bottom portion for decreasing the transveral dimension to essentially the same dimension as said foot portion.
  • the pillar beams extend down to the bottom level of the foot portion with the same uninterrupted cross-section for forming bottom pillar abutment surfaces for cooperation with a corresponding abutment portion of a lower wall member, which abutment portion is provided with recesses with a shape corresponding to said bottom pillar abutment surfaces for load transmitting cooperation therebetween.
  • Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of the wall member according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a part of the first embodiment of the wall member shown in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 2 of a second embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows across-section of the wall member 1 according to the invention supported by a foundation plate 2 or a foundation beam, e.g. of the type ERGE.
  • the wall member 1 comprises an upper flange 3, a depending front web 4 and a lower foot portion 5.
  • the foot portion 5 stands on a support such as said foundation plate 2 usually via a sealing 6, which can be a rubber sealing, asphaltic board or plastics or other similar materials used today.
  • the foot portion 5 only performs a sealing action against the foundation plate 2.
  • essentially vertical pillar beams 7 extend between the upper flange 3 and the foot portion 5, c.f. Fig. 2, for transmitting load from the upper flange to the support 2.
  • FIG. 2 A perspective view of the wall member is shown in Fig. 2.
  • the pillar beams 7 are positioned at suitable mutual distances in dependence of the expected load.
  • first insulation disks 8 which fill the space between the pillar beams 7 and abuts the front web 4 and extends from the upper flange 3 to the foot portion 6.
  • second cellular plastics disks 9 positioned along the entire inside of the wall member and extending from the upper flange 3 and down to the support 2, or an inner floor, see the upper part of Fig. 1.
  • cellular plastics material for preventing cold bridges at the inside of the upper flange at 19 and at the inside of the foot portion at 20, 21 as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the upper flange 3 is provided with an inwardly and upwardly extending support portion 11 for supporting an ceiling member 10 or similar.
  • a fillet 12 is positioned between the support portion 11 and the ceiling member 10.
  • the outside portion of the upper flange forms an abutment portion 14 for a second wall member 1' stacked on top of the first wall member via a rubber sealing 13.
  • the abutment portion 14 is recessed in relation to the support portion 11 as appears from Fig. 1.
  • the pillar beams 7 have a substantially constant cross-section along the length thereof and are chamfered at the lower portion as shown at 15, Fig. 2, for adaption to the foot portion 5.
  • the upper flange 11 is provided with a tensile reinforcement 16 in a conventional way.
  • the front web 4 can be provided with a net reinforcement (not shown) for preventing formation of cracks.
  • the foot portion 5 is essentially without any reinforcement.
  • the wall member according to the invention is dimensioned and calculated so that the upper flange 16 and the pillar beams 7 transmit the prevailing loads from a building member positioned thereabove (wall member 1') to a building member positioned therebelow (the foundation plate 2 or an ERGE foundation beam or another wall member 1').
  • the pillar beams 7 support the load.
  • the foot portion 5 is constructed only to perform a sealing action against the support and transmits no load.
  • the front web 4 is unloaded and can be constructed thin in order to let place for a great amount of insulation materials 8 and 9.
  • the outer side of the front web 4 is surface treated directly after the casting and looks like a plastered surface which makes the outside essentially free from maintenance.
  • a surface connecting said support portion 11 and said abutment portion 14 forms a guide surface 22 guiding the foot portion 5 of an upper wall member 1' to its correct position at the lower wall member 1, which makes the mounting work easier and safer.
  • the wall member is further provided with an inner lining 18 in the nature of plaster gypsum boards or any other conventional construction.
  • Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the wall member according to the invention.
  • the pillar beams 7" extend right down to the bottom level of the foot portion without any chamfer.
  • the lower portion of the pillar beams form feet for cooperation with a lower building member.
  • the foot portion 5 of the wall member is still more unloaded.
  • the support portion 11 is provided with recesses 23 for enclosing the feet of the pillar beams of an upper wall member. Said recesses can be provided with guide surfaces parallel to guide surface 22 for guiding the feet of the pillar beams in the correct position.
  • the transversal dimension of the foot portion can be narrow, while the upper flange is wider, preferably double the witdth of the foot portion or more.
  • the pillar beams have a width therebetween.
  • the wall member according to the invention can be used as a cellar wall member completely or partly positioned below the ground level, or as a wall member for flats thereabove in a house with several flats.
  • the wall members are interconnected in the side direction with conventional methods, such as grooves and pin connections etc. The same applies to the vertical stacking and connection to the ceiling members.
