ABSTRACT:
A method of constructing a building having load-bearing and insulation properties comprising the steps of erecting a loose frame by first arranging a plurality of horizontally disposed lower steel channels in the form of a closed polygon on a base support, the channels having their ends welded together to form the lower corners of the frame. A plurality of vertical steel supporting posts are mounted on the lower corners and have their lower ends welded to the channels. A plurality of horizontally disposed upper steel beams are arranged in the form of a matching polygon above the channels, the beams having their ends welded together to form the upper corners of the frame. The beams are supported at the upper corners by welding the upper ends of the posts to the beams so as to dispose each upper corner above a lower corner whereby the upper polygon has a matching parallel relation to the lower polygon. A first plurality of horizontally spaced vertical steel rods is welded to the exterior side of the beams and channels. A layer of plastic insulation material is disposed between the beams and the channels. A second plurality of horizontally spaced vertical steel rods is welded to the interior side of the beams and channels so as to sandwich the layer of insulation between the first and second plurality of vertical rods. A first and a second plurality of vertically spaced horizontal steel bars are tied to the vertical rods at their points of intersection. Exterior and interior layers of wire mesh are overlaid on the horizontal bars and tied to the bars, thus completing the loose frame. A bracing is arranged at one of the posts so as to dispose the same in a plumb or true vertical position. A layer of concrete is applied to both sides of the frame and a sufficient time lapse is allowed for the concrete to set so as to provide the building with an initial rigidity after which the bracing can be removed.
