Abstract
A structural carrier used in the construction and renovation of walls. The carrier consists of a continuous sheet (10, 40) of corrosion-resistant moisture proof material e.g. of plastics which is formed with a number of parallel formations (12, 42) which are undercut and which define keying formations for a cementitious covering (28, 46) material which is applied to the carrier. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Structure erection
This invention relates to the erection of structures.
In the specification of the applicant's patent application No. 80 33906 there is described a method of erecting a structure wherein structural elements are located on a prepared site and a carrier, for example of expanded metal, is used to span the spaces between selected structural elements. Plaster 5 subsequently applied to the carrier to form a continuous weatherproof wall surface.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved carrier which is suitable for use in building operations of the preceding nature.
The use of the carrier is however not limited to such applications and it may for example be employed in the renovating of existing structures and for refacing or waterproofing existing walls.
According to the invention there is provided a structural carrier which comprises a sheet of substantially moisture proof material with keying formations on at least one side of the sheet material.
The carrier may be made from continuous sheet material. Alternatively or additionally the carrier may have a waterproofing medium applied to it on one or both sides.
The carrier may be made from a plastics material. The carrier may alternatively be made from metal, which may be plastics coated or otherwise treated to improve its anti-corrosion properties, or to render it moisture impervious, or from an asbestos-cement mixture, or from any other suitable material.
The carriers of the invention may be secured to each other by interengagement of keying formations on adjacent carriers and a covering material may then be applied thereto to form a wall. The invention is not limited by the nature of the covering material but the covering material is preferably cementitious e.g. plaster. Covering material may be applied to both sides of the carrier and the material on one side may differ from the material on the other side. This material may be applied in any suitable manner. The material may be applied by hand, as with a trowel, or by means of a machine such as a shotcreting machine.
The keying formations may be formed in any suitable manner. For example the carrier may be extruded or produced by deforming a sheet of material and include a plurality of formations which are parallel and which, in use, extend horizontally, or vertically.
The keying formations may be on each side of the carrier, and the keying formations on one side may have a similar shape to the keying formations on the other side. Preferably the keying formations are undercut. This ensures that the cementitious material bonds securely to the carrier. Where the keying formations are parallel then adjacent formations preferably define a cavity between
them and partly overhang the cavity.
The invention is further described by way of
examples with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view,
partly sectioned, of a wall incorporating a carrier
according to a first form of the invention,
Figure 2 is an enlarged end elevation
illustrating a horizontal joint between adjacent
carriers, and
Figure 3 is an illustration of wall incorporating a
carrier according to a second form of the
invention.
Figure 1 illustrates, partly sectioned, a wall
which includes a carrier 10 in accordance with the
invention.
The carrier 10 is formed from sheet material
and is waterproof.
The carrier may for example be extruded from a suitable material e.g. steel, aluminium or plastics,
and, when made from metal, it may be coated with an agent e.g. plastics film, to increase its
corrosion-resistant properties.
The carrier 10 has a number of parallel,
horizontally extending channel-like formations 1 2 which project to one side of the general plane of the carrier. On the other side of the carrier the formations define cavities 14. The formations are undercut and extend over the cavities making the entrance or mouth of each cavity narrower than its base, as is clearly shown in Figure 2.
Spaced projections 16 are located between each pair of adjacent formations 12 and reinforcing wires 1 8 are fixed to the projections.
The use of the reinforcing wires is not essential and they may be dispensed with particularly when the carrier has an inherent adequate stiffness or if the carrier is reinforced in any other suitable way.
The carrier 10 is secured to vertically extendiny support strips 20 which are carried by posts 22.
The posts are erected on a prepared site and the support strips are fixed thereto by means of screws 24 or other suitable fasteners. It is alternatively within the scope of the invention to form each support strip integrally with a post. The support strips should be made from a similar material to the carrier i.e., they should be waterproof and corrosion-resistant.
The support strips inciude a plurality of spaced formations 26 which are engageable with a press fit with the cavities 14 of the carrier. This engagment is facilitated if the cavities are engaged sequentially with the formations. For example the uppermost cavity is first engaged, then the adjacent cavity, and so on down the carrier.
Figure 2 illustrates that adjacent carriers 1 OA and 1 OB are engageable with each other in the horizontal direction by overlapping and interengaging the terminal formations 1 2A and 1 2B respectively.
In so far as vertical joints are concerned these may be effected by engaging the abutting ends of adjacent carriers with a common support strip 20 which preferably is fixed to a post 22. However they can also be made in a manner analogous to that described in respect of the horizontal joints viz. by overlapping the vertical edges of adjacent carriers.
This enhances the waterproofing qualities of the joint and the support strips 20, which may be located at positions. other than at the vertical joints, need not themselves be waterproof.
Once the carriers have been erected in the manner described, and according to the
requirement, plaster 28 or any other suitable covering is applied to the carriers either by hand or with the aid of a machine such as a sho.crete machine and finished in the normal way to give a continuous weatherproof finish.
The formations 12 which overhang the cavities provide a good key for the plaster which is reinforced by means of the wires 18.
The carriers of the invention may be employed to provide single walls or cavity walls. It is also
possible to close the openings to certain of the
cavities 14 to form conduits for electrical wiring.
If two spaced carriers are used to provide a
cavity wall then the cavity may be filled with any
suitable material e.g. mortar, fines, concrete, etc.
Figure 3 is a view, similar to Figure 1, of a
carrier 40 according to a second form of the
invention. In this example the carrier is made from
a waterproof sheet material which is formed with
a plurality of parallel, vertically extending,
undercut formations 42. The formations are so
arranged that the carrier has a similar appearance
on each of its sides.
As with the embodiment of Figure 1 the carrier
40 may consist of adjacent carrier sections which
are overlapped or otherwise secured to each other to provide a water-impervious layer.
Concrete 44 is cast on the inner side of the wall
with the carrier 40, suitably braced, acting as a
shuttering. The outer side of the carrier 40 is
covered with a suitable cementitious plaster 46 to provide a smooth continuous outer surface.
The thickness of the plaster 46 may vary
according to climatic conditions, and on whether the wall is an internal or external wall.
Only one side of the wall is shown. The other
side could if desired, be similarly formed, or the
concrete could itself be plastered to provide a
smooth finish.
The plaster and the concrete engage securely
with the undercut formations 42 and the carrier forms a watertight layer between the two wall surfaces.
The invention has been described with particular reference to the erection of new walls and new structures. The use of the carrier is however not limited to these applications. A carrier according to the invention is particularly useful for renovations for it may be fixed to an existing wall in any suitable way whereafter it is plastered to provide a fresh continuous surface which is weatherproof. The carrier finds particular application in the industrialized construction of buildings in coastal regions.
