Definitions
- the present invention relates to a building comprising at least one masonry structure (i.e. comprising elements superimposed with one another, with the interposition or not of cementing material) comprising a formwork.
- Disposable formworks are currently known for the realization of insulated masonry, comprising two panels of expanded polystyrene (hereinafter also EPS) facing one another and connected together by plastic or metal crossbeams.
- EPS expanded polystyrene
- expanded polystyrene has very different characteristics from non-expanded polystyrene; in particular, expanded polystyrene has low thermal conductivity, and relatively low density.
- the expanded polystyrene panels present on the two faces of the wall thus defined guarantee that it has high thermal insulation characteristics and, together with the large mass of concrete present in the masonry, also guarantee high acoustic insulation. At the same time an earthquake-resistant load-bearing structure can also be created.
- Typical uses of such disposable formworks of the known type are for example the realization of masonry structures of buildings in the event of obtaining high thermal and/or acoustic insulation between the rooms separated by such walls, and between the inside and the outside of the building.
- Disposable formworks of this type are known, for example, from US patent no. US 5,390,459 .
- the heating inside the room is comprised of a high temperature heat source and a surface with relatively reduced emission such as, for example, a pellet burner, a fireplace, a radiator, etc.; in this case the temperature is very high in the immediate vicinity to the heat source and increasingly lower moving away from it which, on one hand, reduces the thermal comfort of the room and, on the other hand, could cause convective motions that cause the movement of dust in the environment.
- the main task of the present invention is that of overcoming the drawbacks mentioned above, and in particular that of obtaining a disposable formwork that enables masonry structures to be realized, load-bearing or not, earthquake-resistant or not, able both to hinder the passage of heat and/or noise through them, and to reduce or however discourage thermal nonuniformities in an environment delimited by such masonry structures, and therefore to be able to obtain a building that, when using such a formwork, has one or more masonry structures whose temperature is particularly uniform, also in the presence of localized or particularly intense heat sources.
- Another aim of the present invention is that of obtaining a disposable formwork, the installation of which is easy and quick.
- Yet another aim is that of obtaining a disposable formwork that can be installed on top of or below another similar formwork, guaranteeing the perfect coplanarity of the outer surfaces of the masonry structures obtained after the solidification of the concrete cast in the superimposed formworks.
- a further aim of the present invention is that of obtaining a disposable formwork that enables masonry structures to be realized to which it is easy to fix hanging accessories, even heavy ones.
- Another aim of the invention is that of obtaining a disposable formwork that allows masonry structures to be realized that are sufficiently resistant to fire.
- Another aim of the invention is that of realizing a building whose exterior walls have sufficient fire resistance, in particular both at openings, such as the passages for doors or windows, present on the exterior walls, and at any floors that subdivide the storeys.
- a building according to claim 1 and in particular by realizing a disposable formwork for insulated masonry comprising a first panel, thermally and/or acoustically insulating, and a second panel, facing said first panel and connected to the same by one or more crossbeams, wherein the second panel is made of a material having a density comprised between 150 and 2500 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m 3 ) and a specific heat capacity comprised between 0.5 kJ/kgK (kilojoule over kilogram degrees Kelvin) and 2 kJ/kgK (kilojoule over kilogram degrees Kelvin).
- such density and specific heat capacity refer to the material that constitutes the second panel, and not to the second panel as a whole, which can have for example a honeycomb structure, and/or comprising cavities or openings that increase the volume thereof without changing the weight.
- the second panel can be advantageously made of one or more of the following materials, alone or in combination with each another, or with other materials: perforated brick, cellular brick, cellular brick obtained by wood flour, wood-cement, solid brick, bricks obtained from demolition scraps, concrete, reinforced concrete, autoclaved aerated concrete, high-temperature mineralized wood wool with magnesite, pressed wood fiber, pressed glass or rock wool, cellular glass, panels from polyurethane scraps, fiberglass or polymer, polypropylene, polyethylene, unexpanded polystyrene (PS), PVC.
- perforated brick cellular brick, cellular brick obtained by wood flour, wood-cement, solid brick, bricks obtained from demolition scraps, concrete, reinforced concrete, autoclaved aerated concrete, high-temperature mineralized wood wool with magnesite, pressed wood fiber, pressed glass or rock wool, cellular glass, panels from polyurethane scraps, fiberglass or polymer, polypropylene, polyethylene, unexpanded poly
- the second panel is made of a material that has a reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT).
- Table 1 shows the density, specific heat capacity and reaction to fire values of some materials that can be advantageously used for making the second panel.
- Table 1 MATERIAL SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY DENSITY REACTION TO FIRE J/KgK KJ/KgK Kg/m 3 UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); D.M.
- expanded polystyrene cannot be used except in combination with other materials, for making a second panel as, although it has a specific heat capacity (about 1.35 kJ/kgK) within the claimed range, its density is too low (20-30 kg/m 3 ). The same can be said for expanded polyurethane.
- the second panel can have a thickness comprised between 35 mm and 250 mm, more preferably comprised between 50 mm and 200 mm.
- the first panel can have a thickness comprised between 45 mm and 300 mm, more preferably comprised between 52 mm and 250 mm.
- a first surface of the second panel facing the first panel there are means for fixing to the one or more crossbeams.
- such fixing means are mechanical fixing means (e.g. jointed); more preferably such fixing means do not comprise non-mechanical fixing means, such as gluing, welding, overmoulding.
- such fixing means comprise:
- first seats and/or the second appendages cover the entire height of the first surface of the second panel.
- the second panel comprises constraining means for a similar second panel positioned on top of or below it.
- such constraining means comprise one or more first male elements projecting respectively from an upper surface and/or from a lower surface of the second panel, and one or more first female elements, obtained respectively on the lower surface and/or on the upper surface of the second panel, such first male elements and first female elements of such second panel being positioned and configured so as to couple respectively with corresponding first female elements and first male elements of a further similar second panel located below or on top of such second panel.
- the constraining means comprise the one or more crossbeams and the fixing means, a first end of such one or more crossbeams simultaneously engaging with the fixing means of two second panels superimposed on each other, aligned vertically or staggered to one another.
- the second panel comprises centering means with a similar second panel placed side by side thereto.
- such centering means comprise: a first rabbet defined in a first side wall of the second panel, and a corresponding second rabbet defined in a second side wall of the second panel, such first and second rabbet being shaped and positioned in such a way that, by placing side by side the second panels of two of such formworks to bring into engagement the first side wall of one of such second panels with the second side wall of the other second panel, the first rabbet of one of such second panels and the second rabbet of the other of such second panels mate with each other.
- such centering means comprise: a second female element defined in a first side wall of the second panel, and a corresponding second male element defined in a second side wall of the second panel, such second female element and second male element being shaped and positioned in such a way that, by placing side by side the second panels of two of such formworks to bring into engagement the first side wall of one of such second panels with the second side wall of the other second panel, the second female element of one of such second panels and the second male element of the other of such second panels join with each other.
- first panel and/or the second panel have a square, or substantially square, or rectangular, or substantially rectangular, shape.
- the invention relates to a building comprising an insulated masonry element that separates the inside of such building from the outside environment, such insulated masonry element comprising one or more formworks.
- masonry means a masonry structure (e.g. an interior or exterior wall of a building) comprising elements superimposed with each other, with the interposition or not of cementing material.
- the aforesaid insulated masonry structure comprises an opening adapted to place in communication the inside of the building with the outside environment; in this case one or more formworks are positioned with the respective second panel turned towards the outside environment, at least partially defining the perimeter edge of the opening.
- one or more formworks define the entire perimeter edge of the opening.
- the positioning of the second panel of one or more formworks towards the external environment, at least partially, preferably totally, defining the perimeter edge of the opening guarantees, thanks to the "thermal flywheel" effect previously described, that such area of the masonry has a substantially uniform temperature, even in the case, for example, of high exposure to the sun of such second panel. This reduces the formation of possible hot or cold areas both inside and outside the building, with the consequent increase in thermal comfort, and the reduction in the risk of formation of condensation and mould, both inside and outside the building.
- the second panel is made of a material having reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree 15 March 2005(IT), such specific positioning of the second panel guarantees that any fire outside the building could not penetrate into it through the openings.
- such opening may be a compartment of a door or a window.
- the building according to the invention comprises at least two storeys subdivided by a floor, wherein the insulated masonry that comprises one or more formworks separates such two storeys and in this case, one or more formworks can be advantageously positioned in correspondence of the floor, and with the respective second panel turned towards the outside environment.
- the positioning of the second panel at the floor, turned towards the outside environment guarantees, thanks to the "thermal flywheel” effect previously described, that such area of the masonry has a substantially uniform temperature, also in the case, for example, of high exposure of the sun to such second panel.
- This reduces the formation of possible hot or cold areas both inside and outside the building, with the consequent increase in thermal comfort, and the consequent reduction in the risk of formation of condensation and mould, both inside and outside the building.
- the second panel is made of a material having reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT)
- such specific positioning of the second panel guarantees that any fire outside the building could not penetrate from the outside of the building to the floor area.
- this particular advantageous embodiment guarantees that any fire present in the outer façade of the building does not propagate between the storeys subdivided by the floor, as the second panel prevents the propagation of fire between the regions of masonry positioned on top of and below such second panel.
- an insulated masonry structure can comprise a plurality of formworks.
- such plurality of formworks can comprise two formworks superimposed with each other, aligned vertically or staggered to each other, so that the first panel of the upper formwork is superimposed with the first panel of the lower formwork and the second panel of the upper formwork is superimposed with the second panel of the lower formwork.
- such plurality of formworks can comprise two formworks superimposed with each other, aligned vertically or staggered to each other, so that the first panel of the upper formwork is superimposed with the second panel of the lower formwork and the second panel of the upper formwork is superimposed with the first panel of the lower formwork.
- such plurality of formworks in such building can comprise two formworks placed side by side so that the first panel of one of such two formworks is placed side by side with the first panel of the other of such two formworks, and the second panel of one of such two formworks is placed side by side with the second panel of the other one of such two formworks.
- such plurality of formworks can comprise two formworks placed side by side to each other so that the first panel of one of such two formworks is placed side by side with the second panel of the other of such two formworks, and the second panel of one of such two formworks is placed side by side with the first panel of the other of such two formworks.
- the aforesaid insulated masonry can comprise one or more of such formworks and one or more traditional formworks comprising two panels made of thermally and/or acoustically insulating material connected to each other by one or more crossbeams; in such advantageous embodiment, a formwork can be arranged on top of, or below, or side by side to a traditional formwork.
- the traditional formwork comprises means adapted to be coupled with the means of the formwork for the constraining thereof to a similar second panel placed on top of or below it.
- the traditional formwork comprises means adapted to be coupled with centering means of the second panel for the centering thereof with a similar second panel placed side by side thereto.
- the aforesaid insulated masonry can comprise one or more of such formworks and one or more traditional formworks comprising two panels made of thermally and/or acoustically insulating material connected to each other by one or more crossbeams; in such advantageous embodiment, a formwork can be placed side by side to a traditional formwork.
- the panels of the traditional formwork comprise means adapted to be coupled to the centering means of a formwork.
- the formwork 1 comprises a first panel 2, made of thermally and/or acoustically insulating material such as expanded polystyrene (which is only a thermal insulator), wood-cement, expanded polypropylene, expanded polyethylene, expanded polyurethane, etc.
- acoustically insulating material such as expanded polystyrene (which is only a thermal insulator), wood-cement, expanded polypropylene, expanded polyethylene, expanded polyurethane, etc.
- the formwork 1 comprises a second panel 3, facing the first panel 2, and connected thereto by one or more crossbeams 4.
- the crossbeams 4 are made of plastic, or metal, or a combination of such materials.
- the second panel 3 is made of a material having a density comprised between 150 and 2500 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m 3 ) and a specific heat capacity comprised between 0.5 kJ/kgK and 2 kJ/kgK.
- the specific heat capacity and the high density of the second panel 3 ensure that once the latter has reached a certain temperature, it tends to maintain it, therefore acting as a "thermal flywheel" which tends to keep the temperature of the environment delimited by such second panel 3 constant.
- the second panel 3 contributes both to reducing sudden temperature changes in the environment delimited thereby, and to making the temperature in such environment uniform, also in the presence of localized heat sources.
- the second panel 3 can be for example made of one or more of the following materials, alone or in combination with each other, or with other materials: perforated brick, cellular brick obtained by wood flour, wood-cement, solid brick, bricks obtained from demolition scraps, concrete, reinforced concrete, autoclaved aerated concrete, high-temperature mineralized wood wool with magnesite, pressed wood fiber, pressed glass or rock wool, cellular glass, panels from polyurethane scraps, fiberglass or polymer, polypropylene, polyethylene, unexpanded polystyrene (PS), PVC.
- perforated brick cellular brick obtained by wood flour, wood-cement, solid brick, bricks obtained from demolition scraps, concrete, reinforced concrete, autoclaved aerated concrete, high-temperature mineralized wood wool with magnesite, pressed wood fiber, pressed glass or rock wool, cellular glass, panels from polyurethane scraps, fiberglass or polymer, polypropylene, polyethylene, unexpanded polystyrene (PS
- such materials also have high mechanical resistance and are therefore suitable for the easy fixing to the second panel 3 of a hanging accessory, such as an item of furniture, a painting, a shelf, for example through the fixing of anchors, nails, etc. to such panel 3.
- the panels 3 illustrated in the embodiments of Figures 1-4 , 9, 10 , 15-20 , 26 can for example be advantageously made of brick, brick-wood, cellular brick, unbaked clay, terracotta, cement, concrete; such second panels are preferably made with a geometry that provides empty spaces and that is commonly called "perforated".
- the second panels 3 illustrated in the embodiments of Figures 5-8 , 11-14 , 21-25 are instead made of concrete or autoclaved aerated concrete, or wood-cement or wood or solid brick, solid brick-wood or solid cellular brick, or another solid material.
- the second panel is made of a material that has a reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT).
- the first panel 2 and/or the second panel 3 have, in a front view, a square, or substantially square, or rectangular, or substantially rectangular, shape.
- the second panel 3 has a thickness comprised between 35 mm and 250 mm, preferably comprised between 50 mm and 200 mm.
- the first panel 2 has a thickness comprised between 45 mm and 300 mm, preferably comprised between 52 mm and 250 mm.
- a first surface 3a of the second panel 3, facing the first panel 2 there are means for fixing to one or more crossbeams 4 that connect the first and the second panel.
- such fixing means comprise one or more first seats 5 obtained in a first surface 3a of the second panel 3; such first seats 5 are coupled or can be coupled to at least partially counter-shaped first appendages 6, projecting from a first end of one or more crossbeams 4.
- the first seats 5 affect the entire height of the first surface 3a of the second panel 3, so that it is possible to longitudinally insert a first appendage 6 of a crossbeam 5 into the respective first seat 5 of a second panel 3 starting from the upper or lower end of such first seat 5.
- the first seats 5 have, in a plan view of the second panel 3 (still with reference to their installation to constitute a vertical masonry structure), a substantially T-shaped section, with a first leg 5a, placed at the first surface 3a of the second panel 3, which defines on such first surface 3a an access opening to the first seat 5, and a first head 5b, obtained in the body of the second panel 3.
- the first appendages 6 of the crossbeams 4 preferably have a plan section which is also T-shaped, defining a second head 6b, advantageously at least partially counter-shaped to the first head 5b of the first seats 5, and that can be positioned inside such first head 5b, preferably by means of the longitudinal insertion into the seat 5 itself.

Description
- The present invention relates to a building comprising at least one masonry structure (i.e. comprising elements superimposed with one another, with the interposition or not of cementing material) comprising a formwork.
- Disposable formworks are currently known for the realization of insulated masonry, comprising two panels of expanded polystyrene (hereinafter also EPS) facing one another and connected together by plastic or metal crossbeams.
- It is specified that expanded polystyrene has very different characteristics from non-expanded polystyrene; in particular, expanded polystyrene has low thermal conductivity, and relatively low density. After positioning a plurality of formworks alongside and/or superimposed with one another, concrete in the liquid state is poured into the cavity defined between the mutually connected expanded polystyrene panels of the different formworks; as the concrete cures, it permanently grips the panels and the crossbeams of the formworks, so as to constitute, together with them, a wall or another architectural element.
- The expanded polystyrene panels present on the two faces of the wall thus defined guarantee that it has high thermal insulation characteristics and, together with the large mass of concrete present in the masonry, also guarantee high acoustic insulation. At the same time an earthquake-resistant load-bearing structure can also be created.
- Typical uses of such disposable formworks of the known type are for example the realization of masonry structures of buildings in the event of obtaining high thermal and/or acoustic insulation between the rooms separated by such walls, and between the inside and the outside of the building.
- Disposable formworks of this type are known, for example, from US patent no.
US 5,390,459 . - Versions of such disposable formworks are also known in which the expanded polystyrene panels comprise, on their faces delimiting the thickness of the panel, a plurality of protuberances being variously distributed that define between one another the same number of seats into which similar protuberances of another panel of the same type are inserted, belonging to a similar formwork that must be coupled at the top or at the bottom thereto.
- The coupling of the protuberances projecting from a panel into the seats of a panel on top of or below the same, guarantees that such panels remain perfectly coupled and coplanar to one another even if they are subjected to the hydrostatic thrust due to the mass of concrete while it is being poured between the panels. However, such solutions of the known type have some drawbacks; in particular the expanded polystyrene panels used for making such formworks of the known type hinder the passage of heat through them, but they are substantially ineffective in compensating for sudden and/or high ambient temperature changes and nonuniformity of temperatures within the environment delimited by them.
- Such changes and lack of uniformity can arise for example if the heating inside the room is comprised of a high temperature heat source and a surface with relatively reduced emission such as, for example, a pellet burner, a fireplace, a radiator, etc.; in this case the temperature is very high in the immediate vicinity to the heat source and increasingly lower moving away from it which, on one hand, reduces the thermal comfort of the room and, on the other hand, could cause convective motions that cause the movement of dust in the environment.
- Furthermore, in the case of walls of a building that subdivide the inside of it from the outside environment, there is the problem that, at the openings such as the passages for doors and windows, and at the floors that subdivide the various storeys, there are often thermal bridges that can locally generate hotter or colder areas than the rest of the wall, which can reduce the thermal comfort inside the building. Furthermore, such localized temperature nonuniformities can promote the formation, inside or outside the building, of condensation, with the consequent risk of mould being generated and/or any objects (such as furniture, doors, windows, etc.) in contact with the wall being damaged.
- Another drawback of the walls made with such disposable formworks of the known type consists of the fact that, in the event of fixing a hanging accessory to the wall, such as a painting, a shelf, etc., the presence of the expanded polystyrene panel makes the fixing of such accessory a bit complicated. Such drawback is encountered both in the event of fixing the hanging accessory to the inside of the building and to the outside thereof.
-
DE 199 37 588 A1 discloses a building with the features of the preamble ofclaim 1. - The main task of the present invention is that of overcoming the drawbacks mentioned above, and in particular that of obtaining a disposable formwork that enables masonry structures to be realized, load-bearing or not, earthquake-resistant or not, able both to hinder the passage of heat and/or noise through them, and to reduce or however discourage thermal nonuniformities in an environment delimited by such masonry structures, and therefore to be able to obtain a building that, when using such a formwork, has one or more masonry structures whose temperature is particularly uniform, also in the presence of localized or particularly intense heat sources.
- Another aim of the present invention is that of obtaining a disposable formwork, the installation of which is easy and quick.
- Yet another aim is that of obtaining a disposable formwork that can be installed on top of or below another similar formwork, guaranteeing the perfect coplanarity of the outer surfaces of the masonry structures obtained after the solidification of the concrete cast in the superimposed formworks.
- A further aim of the present invention is that of obtaining a disposable formwork that enables masonry structures to be realized to which it is easy to fix hanging accessories, even heavy ones.
- Another aim of the invention is that of obtaining a disposable formwork that allows masonry structures to be realized that are sufficiently resistant to fire. Another aim of the invention is that of realizing a building whose exterior walls have sufficient fire resistance, in particular both at openings, such as the passages for doors or windows, present on the exterior walls, and at any floors that subdivide the storeys.
- The invention is defined by the features of appended
claim 1. - These and other aims according to the present invention are reached with a building according to
claim 1, and in particular by realizing a disposable formwork for insulated masonry comprising a first panel, thermally and/or acoustically insulating, and a second panel, facing said first panel and connected to the same by one or more crossbeams, wherein the second panel is made of a material having a density comprised between 150 and 2500 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3) and a specific heat capacity comprised between 0.5 kJ/kgK (kilojoule over kilogram degrees Kelvin) and 2 kJ/kgK (kilojoule over kilogram degrees Kelvin). - It is underlined that such density and specific heat capacity refer to the material that constitutes the second panel, and not to the second panel as a whole, which can have for example a honeycomb structure, and/or comprising cavities or openings that increase the volume thereof without changing the weight.
- In preferred embodiments, the second panel can be advantageously made of one or more of the following materials, alone or in combination with each another, or with other materials: perforated brick, cellular brick, cellular brick obtained by wood flour, wood-cement, solid brick, bricks obtained from demolition scraps, concrete, reinforced concrete, autoclaved aerated concrete, high-temperature mineralized wood wool with magnesite, pressed wood fiber, pressed glass or rock wool, cellular glass, panels from polyurethane scraps, fiberglass or polymer, polypropylene, polyethylene, unexpanded polystyrene (PS), PVC.
- In a preferred embodiment, the second panel is made of a material that has a reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT).
- The following Table 1 shows the density, specific heat capacity and reaction to fire values of some materials that can be advantageously used for making the second panel.
Table 1 MATERIAL SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY DENSITY REACTION TO FIRE J/KgK KJ/KgK Kg/m3 UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); D.M. 15 March 2005(IT); SOLID BRICK 840 0,84 1500 A1 PERFORATED CELLULAR BRICK 1000 1 800 A1 PERFORATED BRICK 840 0,84 1200 A1 CONCRETE 880 0,88 1800-240 A1 CELLULAR CEMENT 1000 1 450 A1 WOOD-CEMENT 1810 1,81 350-550 A2 LIME AND CEMENT PLASTER 910 0,91 1800 A1 GYPSUM PLASTER 850 0,85 1500 A1 ROCKWOOL 1030 1,03 150 A1 - It is underlined that expanded polystyrene cannot be used except in combination with other materials, for making a second panel as, although it has a specific heat capacity (about 1.35 kJ/kgK) within the claimed range, its density is too low (20-30 kg/m3). The same can be said for expanded polyurethane.
- Preferably, the second panel can have a thickness comprised between 35 mm and 250 mm, more preferably comprised between 50 mm and 200 mm.
- Preferably, the first panel can have a thickness comprised between 45 mm and 300 mm, more preferably comprised between 52 mm and 250 mm.
- Advantageously, on a first surface of the second panel facing the first panel there are means for fixing to the one or more crossbeams.
- Preferably, such fixing means are mechanical fixing means (e.g. jointed); more preferably such fixing means do not comprise non-mechanical fixing means, such as gluing, welding, overmoulding.
- In an advantageous embodiment, such fixing means comprise:
- one or more first seats formed in the first surface of the second panel, coupled or that can be coupled to at least partially counter-shaped first appendages projecting from a first end of the one or more crossbeams,
and/or - one or more second appendages projecting from the first surface of the second panel, coupled or that can be coupled to at least partially counter-shaped second seats obtained at a first end of the one or more crossbeams.
- In a preferred embodiment, the first seats and/or the second appendages cover the entire height of the first surface of the second panel.
- Advantageously, the second panel comprises constraining means for a similar second panel positioned on top of or below it.
- In a preferred embodiment, such constraining means comprise one or more first male elements projecting respectively from an upper surface and/or from a lower surface of the second panel, and one or more first female elements, obtained respectively on the lower surface and/or on the upper surface of the second panel, such first male elements and first female elements of such second panel being positioned and configured so as to couple respectively with corresponding first female elements and first male elements of a further similar second panel located below or on top of such second panel.
- In another advantageous embodiment, the constraining means comprise the one or more crossbeams and the fixing means, a first end of such one or more crossbeams simultaneously engaging with the fixing means of two second panels superimposed on each other, aligned vertically or staggered to one another. Advantageously, the second panel comprises centering means with a similar second panel placed side by side thereto.
- In an advantageous embodiment, such centering means comprise:
a first rabbet defined in a first side wall of the second panel, and a corresponding second rabbet defined in a second side wall of the second panel, such first and second rabbet being shaped and positioned in such a way that, by placing side by side the second panels of two of such formworks to bring into engagement the first side wall of one of such second panels with the second side wall of the other second panel, the first rabbet of one of such second panels and the second rabbet of the other of such second panels mate with each other. - In a further advantageous embodiment, such centering means comprise:
a second female element defined in a first side wall of the second panel, and a corresponding second male element defined in a second side wall of the second panel, such second female element and second male element being shaped and positioned in such a way that, by placing side by side the second panels of two of such formworks to bring into engagement the first side wall of one of such second panels with the second side wall of the other second panel, the second female element of one of such second panels and the second male element of the other of such second panels join with each other. - In a preferred embodiment, the first panel and/or the second panel have a square, or substantially square, or rectangular, or substantially rectangular, shape.
- The invention relates to a building comprising an insulated masonry element that separates the inside of such building from the outside environment, such insulated masonry element comprising one or more formworks.
- It is underlined that the expression "masonry" means a masonry structure (e.g. an interior or exterior wall of a building) comprising elements superimposed with each other, with the interposition or not of cementing material.
- In such building according to the invention the aforesaid insulated masonry structure comprises an opening adapted to place in communication the inside of the building with the outside environment; in this case one or more formworks are positioned with the respective second panel turned towards the outside environment, at least partially defining the perimeter edge of the opening.
- Preferably, one or more formworks define the entire perimeter edge of the opening.
- The positioning of the second panel of one or more formworks towards the external environment, at least partially, preferably totally, defining the perimeter edge of the opening, guarantees, thanks to the "thermal flywheel" effect previously described, that such area of the masonry has a substantially uniform temperature, even in the case, for example, of high exposure to the sun of such second panel. This reduces the formation of possible hot or cold areas both inside and outside the building, with the consequent increase in thermal comfort, and the reduction in the risk of formation of condensation and mould, both inside and outside the building. Furthermore, in the advantageous case in which the second panel is made of a material having reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree 15 March 2005(IT), such specific positioning of the second panel guarantees that any fire outside the building could not penetrate into it through the openings.
- Advantageously, such opening may be a compartment of a door or a window.
- The building according to the invention comprises at least two storeys subdivided by a floor, wherein the insulated masonry that comprises one or more formworks separates such two storeys and in this case, one or more formworks can be advantageously positioned in correspondence of the floor, and with the respective second panel turned towards the outside environment.
- As in the advantageous case of the opening, also in this case the positioning of the second panel at the floor, turned towards the outside environment guarantees, thanks to the "thermal flywheel" effect previously described, that such area of the masonry has a substantially uniform temperature, also in the case, for example, of high exposure of the sun to such second panel. This reduces the formation of possible hot or cold areas both inside and outside the building, with the consequent increase in thermal comfort, and the consequent reduction in the risk of formation of condensation and mould, both inside and outside the building.
- Furthermore, in the advantageous case in which the second panel is made of a material having reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT), such specific positioning of the second panel guarantees that any fire outside the building could not penetrate from the outside of the building to the floor area. Furthermore, this particular advantageous embodiment guarantees that any fire present in the outer façade of the building does not propagate between the storeys subdivided by the floor, as the second panel prevents the propagation of fire between the regions of masonry positioned on top of and below such second panel.

Figure 33 is a schematic lateral section of part of the masonry structure and of the floor ofFigure 32 . Examples of disposable formworks for insulated masonry structures are represented in the appended figures, and indicated overall withnumber 1. - The
formwork 1 comprises afirst panel 2, made of thermally and/or acoustically insulating material such as expanded polystyrene (which is only a thermal insulator), wood-cement, expanded polypropylene, expanded polyethylene, expanded polyurethane, etc. - The
formwork 1 comprises asecond panel 3, facing thefirst panel 2, and connected thereto by one ormore crossbeams 4. - Preferably, the
crossbeams 4 are made of plastic, or metal, or a combination of such materials. - The
second panel 3 is made of a material having a density comprised between 150 and 2500 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3) and a specific heat capacity comprised between 0.5 kJ/kgK and 2 kJ/kgK. - The specific heat capacity and the high density of the
second panel 3 ensure that once the latter has reached a certain temperature, it tends to maintain it, therefore acting as a "thermal flywheel" which tends to keep the temperature of the environment delimited by suchsecond panel 3 constant. - The
second panel 3 contributes both to reducing sudden temperature changes in the environment delimited thereby, and to making the temperature in such environment uniform, also in the presence of localized heat sources. - The
second panel 3 can be for example made of one or more of the following materials, alone or in combination with each other, or with other materials: perforated brick, cellular brick obtained by wood flour, wood-cement, solid brick, bricks obtained from demolition scraps, concrete, reinforced concrete, autoclaved aerated concrete, high-temperature mineralized wood wool with magnesite, pressed wood fiber, pressed glass or rock wool, cellular glass, panels from polyurethane scraps, fiberglass or polymer, polypropylene, polyethylene, unexpanded polystyrene (PS), PVC. - As well as having high thermal inertia, such materials also have high mechanical resistance and are therefore suitable for the easy fixing to the
second panel 3 of a hanging accessory, such as an item of furniture, a painting, a shelf, for example through the fixing of anchors, nails, etc. tosuch panel 3. - The
panels 3 illustrated in the embodiments ofFigures 1-4 ,9, 10 ,15-20 ,26 can for example be advantageously made of brick, brick-wood, cellular brick, unbaked clay, terracotta, cement, concrete; such second panels are preferably made with a geometry that provides empty spaces and that is commonly called "perforated". - The
second panels 3 illustrated in the embodiments ofFigures 5-8 ,11-14 ,21-25 are instead made of concrete or autoclaved aerated concrete, or wood-cement or wood or solid brick, solid brick-wood or solid cellular brick, or another solid material. - In a preferred embodiment, the second panel is made of a material that has a reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT). Advantageously, the
first panel 2 and/or thesecond panel 3 have, in a front view, a square, or substantially square, or rectangular, or substantially rectangular, shape. - It is underlined that in the present document, expressions such as "upper", "lower", "side", "front", "rear" and the like refer to a condition of the
formwork 1 installed to constitute a vertical, or substantially vertical, masonry structure and, therefore, with the first and the second panel positioned vertically, such as in the advantageous embodiments illustrated inFigures 1 ,4 ,5 ,8 . - Advantageously, the
second panel 3 has a thickness comprised between 35 mm and 250 mm, preferably comprised between 50 mm and 200 mm. - Advantageously, the
first panel 2 has a thickness comprised between 45 mm and 300 mm, preferably comprised between 52 mm and 250 mm. Advantageously, on afirst surface 3a of thesecond panel 3, facing thefirst panel 2, there are means for fixing to one ormore crossbeams 4 that connect the first and the second panel. - In an advantageous embodiment, such as the one illustrated in
Figure 3 , and those illustrated inFigures 18-20 ,22 and23 , such fixing means comprise one or morefirst seats 5 obtained in afirst surface 3a of thesecond panel 3; suchfirst seats 5 are coupled or can be coupled to at least partially counter-shapedfirst appendages 6, projecting from a first end of one ormore crossbeams 4. - Advantageously, the
first seats 5 affect the entire height of thefirst surface 3a of thesecond panel 3, so that it is possible to longitudinally insert afirst appendage 6 of acrossbeam 5 into the respectivefirst seat 5 of asecond panel 3 starting from the upper or lower end of suchfirst seat 5. - Preferably, as for example in the embodiments represented in
Figures 3 ,19 ,20 and23 , thefirst seats 5 have, in a plan view of the second panel 3 (still with reference to their installation to constitute a vertical masonry structure), a substantially T-shaped section, with afirst leg 5a, placed at thefirst surface 3a of thesecond panel 3, which defines on suchfirst surface 3a an access opening to thefirst seat 5, and afirst head 5b, obtained in the body of thesecond panel 3. - In this case, the
first appendages 6 of thecrossbeams 4 preferably have a plan section which is also T-shaped, defining asecond head 6b, advantageously at least partially counter-shaped to thefirst head 5b of thefirst seats 5, and that can be positioned inside suchfirst head 5b, preferably by means of the longitudinal insertion into theseat 5 itself. - Advantageously, in the case in which the
first seats 5 have such T-shaped section, thefirst appendages 6 can advantageously comprise asecond leg 6a, connected to thesecond head 6b and conformed and positioned so as to exit from thefirst leg 5a of aseat 5 with which suchfirst appendage 6 is associated when the respectivesecond head 6b is inserted into thehead 5b of such first seat; advantageously, thesecond leg 6a is connected to the rest of thecrossbeam 4, the latter therefore remaining constrained to thesecond panel 3 in the perpendicular direction to thesecond panel 3 itself, thesecond head 6b of thefirst appendage 6 not being able to exit through thefirst leg 5b of theopening 5. - Other possible shapes of the
first seats 5 are however possible; for example, in the embodiments ofFigures 18 and22 , theseats 5 have a plan with a section that we will define as "double T", which differs from a T-shaped section in that afurther head 5c is associated with theleg 5a, parallel and distanced from thefirst head 5b. - In such embodiment, wherein the
first seats 5 have such "double T" shaped section, thefirst appendages 6 can advantageously also have a "double T" shaped section, counter-shaped to that of thefirst seats 5, or even a T-shaped section, shaped so that thesecond head 6b of such appendage is positioned in thefirst head 5b or in thefurther head 5c of the respective first seat 5 (obtaining in the latter case the possibility to have two distances between the first and the second panel, corresponding to thesecond head 6b positioned in thefirst head 5b or in thefurther head 5c). - Other configurations of the first seats 5 (e.g. dovetail, Q or Ω shaped, etc.) and the respective, at least partially counter-shaped, ones,
first appendages 6 are however possible. - In a further advantageous embodiment such as the one illustrated in
Figure 7 , and those illustrated inFigures 15-17 ,24 ,25 and26 , the fixing means advantageously comprise one or moresecond appendages 7 projecting from thefirst surface 3a of thesecond panel 3; such second appendages are coupled or can be coupled to at least partially counter-shapedsecond seats 8 obtained in a first end of the one ormore crossbeams 4. - Advantageously, the
second appendages 7 affect the entire height of thefirst surface 3a of thesecond panel 3, so that it is possible to longitudinally insert asecond appendage 7 into asecond seat 8 of acrossbeam 4 starting from the upper or lower end of suchsecond appendage 7. - In further advantageous embodiments such as those illustrated in
Figures 7 ,17 ,21 and26 , thesecond appendages 7 are made as a single part, in other words a single body, with thesecond panel 3. - In further advantageous embodiments such as the ones illustrated in
Figures 15, 16 ,24 and 25 , thesecond appendages 7 are additional elements (i.e. not made as a single piece), fixed in turn to thesecond panel 3, for example, but not necessarily, inthird seats 9 obtained in thefirst surface 3a thereof; suchthird seats 9 can be, for example, shaped similarly to thefirst seats 5 described above. - In the case in which the
second appendages 7 are additional elements, they are preferably part of aninsert 70, afirst end 70a of which, at least partially counter-shaped to thethird seats 9, is inserted and fixed into them; a second part ofsuch insert 70, comprising thesecond appendage 7, instead projects from thethird seat 9, and therefore from thefirst surface 3a of thesecond panel 3. - Advantageously, the
second appendages 7 can have a T-shaped section in the plan view, preferably, but not necessarily, similar to the section of thefirst appendages 6 described above; in this case thesecond seats 8 coupled or that can be coupled with suchsecond appendages 7 can preferably have a T or "double T" plan shape preferably, but not necessarily, analogous to the section of thefirst seats 5 described above. - In any case, other possible shapes of the
second appendages 7 and the respective, at least partially counter-shaped,second seats 8 are possible. - Advantageously, also the
first panel 2 comprises, on asecond surface 2c thereof, facing thesecond panel 3, second fixing means 20 to one ormore crossbeams 4 that connect the first and the second panel; preferably such second fixing means 20 can have an analogous shape to one of the advantageous embodiments described above of the fixing means of thesecond panel 3 to thecrossbeams 4. - In a further embodiment, not represented, the
crossbeams 4 can be fixed to the first panels through gluing, or can be incorporated with an end thereof into the body of the first panels 2 (e.g. during the production or moulding of the latter). - Advantageously, the
second panel 3 comprises constraining means for a similarsecond panel 3 positioned on top of or below it. - In an advantageous embodiment, such constraining means comprise one or more first male elements projecting respectively from an
upper surface 3b and/or from alower surface 3c of thesecond panel 3, and one or more first female elements, obtained respectively on thelower surface 3c and/or on theupper surface 3b of thesecond panel 3; the first male elements and first female elements of asecond panel 3 are positioned and configured so as to couple respectively with corresponding first female elements and first male elements of a further similarsecond panel 3 located below or on top of suchsecond panel 3. - Advantageously, for example in the case in which the
second panel 3 is constituted of or comprises a perforated brick, such as in the advantageous embodiment ofFigures 9 and 10 , the first male elements can comprise one ormore anchors 10, partially inserted intoopenings 11, obtained in theupper surface 3b and/orlower surface 3c of thesecond panel 3 and preferably affecting the entire height thereof, thus constituting through openings that connect thelower surface 3c andupper surface 3b of thesecond panel 3; advantageously theanchors 10 exit with afirst end 10a thereof perpendicularly from theupper surface 3b (and/or from thelower surface 3c) of thesecond panel 3, so as to be inserted intoopenings 11 of a furthersecond panel 3 on top (or below) of a furthersimilar formwork 1 associated at the top or at the bottom with theformwork 1 to whichsuch plug 10 belongs. - One or more of the
anchors 10 therefore connect the twosuperimposed panels 3 to each other, guaranteeing that they remain perfectly coupled and coplanar even if they are subjected to the hydrostatic thrust due to the mass of the concrete inside theformworks 1. - In a further advantageous embodiment, e.g. the one represented in
Figures 11 and 12 and13 and 14 , the constraining means can comprise constrainingappendages 12 projecting from theupper surface 3b and/or from thelower surface 3c of thesecond panel 3, which can be inserted into at least partially counter-shaped constrainingseats 13 obtained correspondingly, respectively on thelower surface 3c and/orupper surface 3b of a similarsecond panel 3 placed on top of or below it. - Such constraining
appendages 12 and constrainingseats 13 can have different shapes and arrangements. - For example, in the advantageous embodiment illustrated in
Figures 11 and 12 , the constrainingappendages 12 project from theupper surface 3b of thesecond panels 3, and the constrainingseats 13 are obtained in thelower surface 3c of thesecond panels 3, preferably aligned with the constrainingappendages 12. - In the embodiment of
Figures 13 and 14 , the constrainingappendages 12, defining rabbets, project instead both from theupper surface 3b and from thelower surface 3c of thesecond panels 3 and, correspondingly, the constrainingseats 13 are obtained both on suchupper surface 3b and on thelower surface 3c. - In a further advantageous embodiment, an example of which is represented in
Figure 26 , the constraining means for a similarsecond panel 3 placed on top of or below asecond panel 3 can comprise thecrossbeams 4 and the fixing means of thefirst surface 3a thereto, e.g. the fixing means previously described. - In this case, a first end of a
crossbeam 4 can be fixed both to thefirst surface 3a of asecond panel 3, and to thefirst surface 3a of a similarsecond panel 3, on top of or below it, possibly arranged staggered, as inFigure 26 (or the two superimposedsecond panels 3 can be advantageously aligned vertically with each other); thecrossbeam 4 therefore keeps the two superimposedsecond panels 3 constrained to each other, guaranteeing that they remain perfectly coupled and coplanar even if they are subjected to the hydrostatic thrust due to the mass of the concrete during the casting thereof. Advantageously, thesecond panel 3 may comprise centering means of a similarsecond panel 3 placed side by side thereto. - Advantageously, as in the examples of
Figures 6 ,9 ,15-19 ,21-25 , such centering means can comprise afirst rabbet 14 defined in afirst side wall 3d of thesecond panel 3, and a correspondingsecond rabbet 15, defined in asecond side wall 3e of thesecond panel 3; such first and second rabbet are conformed and positioned so that, by placing thesecond panels 3 of twoformworks 1 side by side to bring into engagement thefirst side wall 3d of one of suchsecond panels 3 with the second side wall of the othersecond panel 3, thefirst rabbet 14 of one of suchsecond panels 3 and thesecond rabbet 15 of the othersecond panel 3 are coupled to each other. - In a further advantageous embodiment, represented for example in
Figure 20 , the centering means can comprise a secondfemale element 16 defined in thefirst side wall 3d of thesecond panel 3, and a corresponding secondmale element 17, defined in thesecond side wall 3e of thesecond panel 3; such secondfemale element 16 and secondmale element 17 are advantageously conformed and positioned so that, by placing thesecond panels 3 of twoformworks 1 side by side to bring thefirst side wall 3d of one of suchsecond panels 3 in engagement with the second side wall of the othersecond panel 3, the secondfemale element 16 of one of suchsecond panels 3 and the secondmale element 17 of the other of saidsecond panels 3 mate with each other. - Advantageously, the
first panel 2 comprises, in anupper face 2a and in alower face 2b, delimiting the thickness of thefirst panel 2 itself, portions provided with a plurality ofprotuberances 18, variously distributed, which define between them the same number ofseats 19 into whichsimilar protuberances 18 of another similarfirst panel 2 of anotherformwork 1 of the same type are inserted, which must be coupled on top of or below it. - Preferably,
such protuberances 18 andseats 19 are distributed on the entire surface ofsuch faces protuberances 18 and theseats 19 defined can have in plan view a regular shape, e.g. square, round, triangular, trapezoidal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc., or irregular, e.g. comma, V, U or C shaped, or other complex shapes. - A second aspect relates to a building, represented schematically in
Figure 27 and indicated bynumber 50, comprising aninsulated masonry structure 51 that separates the inside 52 ofsuch building 50 from theoutside environment 53. - Such
insulated masonry structure 51 comprises one ormore formworks 1. - In a preferred embodiment such as the one illustrated in
Figures 27 to 31 , insuch building 50 the aforesaidinsulated masonry structure 51 comprises anopening 54 adapted to place theinside 52 of thebuilding 50 in communication with theoutside environment 53; in the advantageous example ofFigure 27 , thebuilding 1 is a house, and theinsulated masonry structure 51 is a perimeter wall ofsuch building 1, in which fiveopenings 54 are made, and in particular four openings for windows and an opening for a door. - Advantageously, in the
masonry structure 51, one ormore formworks 1 are positioned with theirsecond panel 3, turned towards theoutside environment 53, at least partially defining aperimeter edge 54a ofsuch opening 54. - In an advantageous embodiment such as those illustrated in
Figures 27, 28 and29 , themasonry structure 51 comprises a plurality offormworks 1, which define theentire perimeter edge 54a of theopening 5a; for example, theopening 54 can be advantageously substantially rectangular or square, and theformworks 1 can define the four sides of theperimeter edge 54a ofsuch opening 54. Other shapes for the opening 54 (e.g. circular) are however possible. - Advantageously, an
opening 54, e.g. the passage of a door or a window, can be defined by the joining of a plurality ofsecond panels 3 which delimit, for example with an edge thereof, an edge ofsuch opening 54; in a further advantageous embodiment, anopening 54 can be defined within a singlesecond panel 3. - The positioning of the
second panel 3 of one or more formworks 1 towards the external environment, at least partially, preferably totally, defining theperimeter edge 54a of theopening 54, guarantees, thanks to the "thermal flywheel" effect previously, described, that such area of themasonry 51 has a substantially uniform temperature, even in the case, for example, of high exposure to the sun of suchsecond panel 3. - In the advantageous case in which the second panel is made of a material having reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT), such specific positioning of the
second panel 3 guarantees that any fire outside thebuilding 50 could not penetrate into it through theopening 54. - In a further advantageous embodiment, the
building 50 comprises at least twostoreys floor 56. - In this advantageous case, the insulated masonry that comprises the one or
more formworks 1 separates such twostoreys such floor 56 from theoutside environment 53. - In this advantageous case, one or more formworks 1 according to the invention can be advantageously positioned at the
floor 56, and with thesecond panel 3 turned towards the outside environment. - In this case, the
first panel 2 ofsuch formwork 1 can advantageously have an opening orgroove 20a, adapted to allow the entry of an end of thefloor 56 into the gap between suchfirst panel 2 and thesecond panel 3, so as to allow such end to be incorporated into the concrete when it is cast into theformwork 1. - Also in this advantageous case, the positioning of the
second panel 3 at thefloor 56, turned towards the outside environment guarantees, thanks to the "thermal flywheel" effect previously described, that such area of themasonry structure 50 has a substantially uniform temperature, also in the event, for example, of high exposure to the sun of suchsecond panel 3. Furthermore, in the advantageous case in which thesecond panel 3 is made of a material having reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU); Italian Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT), such specific positioning of thesecond panel 3 guarantees that any fire outside thebuilding 50 could not penetrate from the outside of thebuilding 50 to the floor area. Furthermore, this particular advantageous embodiment guarantees that any fire present in the outer façade of thebuilding 50 does not propagate between the storeys subdivided by thefloor 56, as thesecond panel 3 prevents the propagation of fire between the regions ofmasonry 51 positioned on top of and below suchsecond panel 3. - In a
building 50 according to the invention, aninsulated masonry structure 51 comprises a plurality offormworks 1. - In an advantageous embodiment, in
such building 50 such plurality offormworks 1 can comprise twoformworks 1 superimposed with each other, aligned vertically or staggered to each other, so that thefirst panel 2 of theupper formwork 1 is superimposed with thefirst panel 2 of thelower formwork 1 and thesecond panel 3 of theupper formwork 1 is superimposed with thesecond panel 3 of thelower formwork 1. - In an advantageous embodiment, in
such building 50 such plurality offormworks 1 can comprise twoformworks 1 superimposed with each other, aligned vertically or staggered to each other, so that thefirst panel 2 of theupper formwork 1 is superimposed with thesecond panel 3 of thelower formwork 1 and thesecond panel 3 of theupper formwork 1 is superimposed with thefirst panel 2 of thelower formwork 1. - In a further advantageous embodiment, in
such building 50 such plurality offormworks 1 can comprise twoformworks 1 placed side by side so that thefirst panel 2 of one of such twoformworks 1 is placed side by side with thefirst panel 2 of the other of such twoformworks 1, and thesecond panel 3 of one of such twoformworks 1 is placed side by side with thesecond panel 3 of the other one of such twoformworks 1. - In a further advantageous embodiment, in
such building 50 such plurality offormworks 1 can comprise twoformworks 1 placed side by side to each other so that thefirst panel 2 of one of such two formworks is placed side by side with thesecond panel 3 of the other of such twoformworks 1, and thesecond panel 3 of one of such two formworks is placed side by side with thefirst panel 1 of the other of such twoformworks 1. - In an advantageous embodiment, in
such building 50 the aforesaid insulated masonry can comprise one or more ofsuch formworks 1, and one or moretraditional formworks 60 comprising twopanels more crossbeams 62; in such advantageous embodiment, aformwork 1 can be arranged on top of, or below, or side by side, with atraditional formwork 60. Preferably, in an advantageous embodiment, thetraditional formwork 60 comprises means adapted to be coupled with the means of theformwork 1 for the constraining thereof to a similar second panel placed on top of or below it; in a preferred embodiment, such means adapted to be coupled with the constraining means comprise one or more male elements, not illustrated, projecting respectively by an upper surface and/or a lower surface of thepanels panels first panel 2 orsecond panel 3 of aformwork 1 placed below or on top of suchtraditional formwork 60. - In a further advantageous embodiment, a
formwork 1 can for example be coupled with atraditional formwork 60 arranged on top of or below it, using one or more crossbeams which, in this case, are engaged both with theformwork 1 and with thetraditional formwork 60 placed on top of or below it. In an advantageous embodiment, in thebuilding 50 the insulatedmasonry 51 can comprise one or more ofsuch formworks 1 and one or moretraditional formworks 60 placed side by side to each other or to aformwork 1. - Advantageously, the
panels traditional formwork 60 comprise means adapted to be coupled to the centering means of a formwork. - The functioning of the
formwork 1 is described below; two or more formworks 1 can be installed side by side and/or superimposed with each other (vertically aligned and/or staggered) such as in the examples ofFigures 4 and8 , and/or in one or more traditional formworks 60 (such as in the advantageous embodiments represented inFigures 28-33 ) defining overall one or more masonry elements, or masonry structures, such as an interior or exterior wall of abuilding 50. - The
first panels 2 of theformworks 1 are for example installed turned towards the outside of the environment(s) circumscribed by such masonry structures, while thesecond panels 3 are turned towards the inside of such environments. Alternatively, for example atopenings 54, such as passages for windows or doors, orfloors 56, theformworks 1 may be installed with thesecond panels 3 turned towards theoutside environment 53. - Once the desired shape of such masonry structures has been obtained, concrete in the liquid state is cast to fill the gap between the first and the second panel of the
various formworks 1; the constraining means of thesecond panels 3 guarantee that the mutually superimposedsecond panels 3 remain perfectly coupled and coplanar even if they are subject to the hydrostatic thrust due to the mass of the concrete during the casting thereof. - In the same way, the coupling of the
protuberances 18 projecting from thefirst panels 2 into theseats 19 of thefirst panels 2 below, guarantees that suchfirst panels 2 remain perfectly coupled and coplanar even if they are subjected to the hydrostatic thrust due to the mass of concrete during the casting thereof. - As it solidifies, the concrete firmly grips the first and second panel, and the
crossbeams 4 that connect them, constituting together with such components the masonry structure. - Such masonry structure is thermally and/or acoustically insulated thanks to the
first panels 2 of theformworks 1, turned for example towards the outside of the environment delimited by the masonry structure, or towards theoutside environment 53. - The
second panels 3, turned instead for example towards the inside of the environment delimited by the masonry structure, or towards theoutside environment 53, for example at theopenings 54 orfloors 56, thanks to their high thermal inertia and density, act as a thermal flywheel for such environment, compensating for any sudden temperature changes due, for example, to the presence of high temperature punctiform heat sources, such as fireplaces, pellet burners, the sun shining, etc. - Furthermore, the
second panels 3, having a high density, are adapted to the easy and stable fixing thereto, and therefore to the masonry structure, of hanging accessories, such as shelves, paintings, etc., e.g. with anchors, nails, etc. - Again, being made of material that has reaction to fire in class A1 or A2 according to standard UNI EN 13501-1:2009(EU), of Ministerial Decree of 15 March 2005(IT), the
second panels 3 effectively protect the masonry structure made by them from fire. - Finally, it is clear that the formwork and the building according to the present invention are susceptible to numerous modifications and variants within the scope of the appended claims;
