Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of construction and masonry together with the field of construction toys, but not the only ones. From these fields, terminology and examples are taken, with an explanatory and non-restrictive aim.
  • the main objective of this invention is the creation of a kit for the construction of dry-mounted walls having an innovative modality of resistance to earthquakes.
  • Another innovative characteristic of this invention is the form of the modular element, which allows the easy and cheap creation of any single piece, making industrially profitable its production.
  • FIGS. 1-3 are perspective views of a modular element having grooves running along an entirety of the upper faces thereof
  • FIGS. 4-6 are perspective views of the related finishing elements to be used for the basement ( FIG. 4 ), for finishing lateral edges ( FIG. 5 ), or the top ( FIG. 6 ), obtained by splitting the elements.
  • FIGS. 7-8 are perspective views of a modular element having grooves running partially along the upper faces.
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the beginning of the construction of the wall starting from the lateral pillar and the finishing elements.
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a pillar having four faces with vertical grooves as female joints.
  • FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the beginning of the construction of the wall starting from the lateral pillar with the finishing elements and a first row of modular elements in place.
  • the present disclosure relates to a process for constructing walls, where the traditional concept of self-supporting wall being a solid and compact structure is abandoned.
  • This transversal planes transform any sort of thrust into an upwards transversal thrust, always hampered by the force of gravity and the weight of the structure. At the end of the stresses, the force of gravity will reposition each element in its original position, at the center of the wedge created by the underlying elements, using the same transversal planes.
  • the result of this invention is a dry-mounted wall, assembled in a diamond configuration composed of modular elements, their related completion elements and the containment bars and pillars.
  • the modular element is a six faces parallelepiped having a squared or rhomboid base.
  • the height of the parallelepiped when positioned, will be the thickness of the wall and its basis will constitute the two facades of the wall.
  • the two diagonals of its basis are disposed vertically and horizontally.
  • the element When in its final position, the element has two external parallel faces placed vertically, two internal faces laying upwards and two internal faces laying downwards.
  • two pins are inserted per each face, disposed at the same height and at the same distance from their closest external face, symmetrically (see, e.g., FIGS. 1, 2, and 7 ).
  • the two opposite contiguous internal faces have two grooves each, laying symmetrically in correspondence of the pins which are on the opposite faces (see FIGS. 1, 3, 7, and 8 ) from the edge in common between the two faces, these grooves run along the faces in parallel with the external face of the element, for its entire length ( FIGS. 1 and 3 ) or just to the height of their matching pins ( FIGS. 7 and 8 ).
  • These grooves will always be slightly wider than the thickness of the forecasted pins, and slightly deeper than their height in order to not block or stress or press or strain anyhow the pins when the elements are assembled in their final position of static equilibrium. The force of gravity and the friction between the elements in the diamond configuration will grant the stability of the wall.
  • both faces holding pins have to face upwards or both downwards and in the same way for all the elements of that wall.
  • the number of pins, their shapes, materials and/or dimensions may vary, provided that the corresponding grooves are matching the selected pins.
  • pins allow to reduce wastage due to the carving and increase the resistance of the male joint in front of thrusts and stresses; for wood, so much as for many other materials, a pin inserted in an element, even if the two of them are composed of different materials, provides a much higher endurance in front of thrusts and stresses than a pin carved from the same piece.
  • the specific materials utilized for pins and for elements will determine dimensions, profile, shape, height, and thickness of the pins.
  • Grooves are 10 mm large and their depth is 20 mm; any of them is 20 mm distant from its closest external face and 40 mm distant from the other groove.
  • the external part of pins is 8 mm thick and 19 mm high.
  • the dry building technique allows the pieces movement, and the specific play created by pins and grooves forces elements to slide like cars over their rails, uniquely in a direction aligned to the axis of the facade and transversal to the ground due to the diamond composition, while the two parallel grooves minimize the possibility of swinging and the risk of misalignment of the single elements, which are forced to slide and climb along the planes created by the contiguous elements, transforming all the strains into transversal and ascensional thrusts always hindered by the force of gravity that, at the end of the quakes, will reposition any single element at the center of its wedge in the diamond composition, bringing back the entire structure in the original position of static equilibrium.
  • finishing elements being the modular elements set in a diamond configuration, finishing elements are junction elements connecting them to the basement ( FIG. 4 ), to lateral pillars ( FIG. 5 ) and with the top of the wall or the ceiling ( FIG. 6 ); they are also used to create doors, windows or technical holes for cabling or plumbing; they are obtained by dividing the modular element along one or more of its axes; their use is of immediate understanding ( FIGS. 9, 10, and 11 ).
  • the section in two halves along the plane parallel to the external face results in two symmetrical pieces that can be used to enlarge the thickness of the walls by multiples of 50 mm.
  • These finishing elements may have additional pins along the faces obtained by the splitting, allowing the anchoring to the facing elements ( FIG. 5 ), or allowing to satisfy technical needs ( FIGS. 9-11 ).
  • modular elements can be forecasted, such as two different elements, one with all male joints and one with all female joints, to be laid alternately, or having other variants with more than two different elements having different shapes, creating different configuration with the same sort of joints, grooves and pins and without horizontal planes, always allowing any element to move, remaining within the perimeter of the invention.
