ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a mud, or, as it is commonly known in the West, "adobe", construction. The present invention relates to a method of constructing such a wall with interior wire reinforcements which are adapted to tie the foundation, the wall and a roof member, such as a roof truss, into an integral assembly. It includes a series of formed wire "trusses", or tie members, arranged in spaced relationship along the wall extending from a point within the foundation form to a height to include at least one member of the roof truss. Cooperating with the trusses are a pair of laterally spaced, longitudinally extending wire mesh members, the trusses and wire mesh being suitably tied together to form an integral structure. The wall is constructed either by pouring adobe mud into a form, or by plastering a thick adobe mud onto the wire mesh, which will extend through that material and lock itself into it in courses of about twelve inches high. When the next course is placed on the wire mesh, the space between the two adobe walls is filled with more adobe to form a solid wall as it rises. When the wall, including the wall cap beam, is in place, roof truss members are threaded into, or otherwise attached to, the upper ends of the wire truss, thereby locking the roof beam to the wall and the foundation in a unitary structure.
