Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides an improved method of constructing a building that is cost-effective and meets fire safety regulations. The method involves using a skeleton made of upright building elements, such as columns or dividing walls, and placing lightweight wall elements between them. The lightweight wall elements have properties that slow down the spread of fire and prevent it from spreading through the walls. The method also includes steps to cover the walls with a covering layer that has fire-retardant properties. The resulting building has low density, is lightweight, and can conform to fire safety regulations without additional measures. The method can be used to construct high-quality buildings with low building costs."

Problems solved by technology

Nevertheless, higher values can also be considered lightweight.

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The drawings, and in first instance FIG. 1-3 show a part of a building wall in accordance with one aspect of the present invention. This building may be a house, but also buildings like offices or other utility buildings are conceivable. FIGS. 1 and 2 show that the building wall comprises a skeleton including upright building elements, in this case columns 1, and wall elements 2 filling the space between the columns 1. As is shown in FIGS. 1a, 1b and 1c the columns may consist of steel (FIG. 1a), wooden (FIG. 1b) or concrete (FIG. 1c) columns 1a, 1b, 1c. The concrete columns may be prefab columns or may be poured in situ. The wall elements 2 can have such dimensions, that they completely fill the space between the columns of one story, so that there is only one wall element 2 between each adjacent pair of columns 1. This obviates the need for complicated (mechanical) connections between wall elements.

[0034]FIGS. 5-7 show the shape of one wall element 2. From FIG. 5 it is cle...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of constructing a building, comprising the step of providing a skeleton for a building wall of the building. The skeleton includes at least upright building elements such as columns or dividing walls. At least one lightweight, heat insulating and fire retarding wall element is placed between each adjacent pair of said columns. The columns are covered to provide substantially closed wall surfaces. The wall surfaces are covered with a covering layer having properties so as to provide fire-resistance to the complete wall. The covering layer on the inside wall surface may include a base layer of modified resin mortar, and a top layer of plaster mortar. The covering layer on the outside wall surface may include a base layer of modified resin mortar and a top layer of mineral mortar. Lightweight, heat insulating floor elements are placed and interconnected, and supported if necessary, and thereafter structural fill-material, such as concrete, is poured onto the floor elements to form a floor. The invention also includes a building, and wall and floor elements.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present application is based on and claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No.______ , filed Oct. 26, 2005, titled METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING A BUILDING, SUCH BUILDING, AND WALL AND FLOOR ELEMENTS FOR USE THEREIN, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to a method of constructing a building, a building preferably constructed according to this method and wall and floor elements for use therein. [0003] In the prior art, several building methods are known in which lightweight wall elements are used. In most cases, the wall elements are made of expanded polystyrene. Examples of these methods and the resulting buildings are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,353,562, U.S. Pat. No. 4,823,534 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,617,686. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] An aspect of the present invention is to provide an improved method of constructing a ...
