DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates to an arrangement in buildings raised in one or more floors and in applicable cases provided with a semi-floor and with or without a basement, whereby the building is meant to be erected upon a foundation as a base plate, a cellar, a bedding of compressed shingle, other types of beddings, a sleeper wall or similar. The building comprises a framework including lower frames or sills, uprights and upper frames or capping plates and also, to rigidify the framework, wall panels of a material having good insulation properties against heat and cold, preferably an aerated plastic such as polyurethane or styrene. In applicable cases the building is rigidified by means of system of joists when the building is raised as a primary construction or is a self-supporting building as the matter is in a secondary construction.


BACKGROUND

There is a need for a building which in conclusive manner insulates the inner space from external temperature. There is also a further need to be able to reduce the cost of a building and of course even to reduce the now heavy cost of raising and erecting a building. There is a need for new foundations for buildings which can simplify the foundation and reduce the cost. This need is especially accentuated for foundations for temporary buildings or buildings which are meant to be dismantled and moved for rebuilding. Besides, there is also a need for a base which is improved in safety against earthquake and furthermore, a suitable foundation for the base.


TECHNICAL PROBLEMS

It is well known how one tries to meet the requirements specified when building today where one, to achieve better insulation, applies additional insulation to the building or increases the thickness of insulation material. Furthermore even mechanical devices of simpler kind or of more exclusive kind are often utilized nowadays for heat recovery. These measures naturally cannot reduce the cost of a building and neither of course the cost of the building process, which must therefore be considered as having become more comlicated despite increased prefabrication of building sections. If one has to any great extent succeeded in meeting the demands for the insulation and sealing of buildings, one has instead, after utilizing the buildings a while, got other problems such as rot and mildew, for the insulation and sealing of buildings, one has instead, after utilizing the buildings a while, got other problems such as rot and mildew, especially in buildings of wooden construction, which in turn give heavy restoration cost such as for the replacement of windows and doors and even wall beams and wall panels. Despite increased efforts with the insulation and sealing of buildings it has in fact been shown that the buildings are often surprisingly badly seald, which depends upon the material in the buildings and is accentuated by short building times with immediate use of the buildings after they are raised and also often due to the buildings being erected during the wrong time of the year. With regard to the present development within the building industry one must perhaps realize that the material used in buildings is the decisive problem. Here one thinks mainly of wooden members such as wooden beams and uprights, wood fibre panels and other formed building constructions of living materials. In order to avoid these problems and meet the requirements specified a new way of thinking as regards the erection of buildings is apparently necessary.


THE SOLUTION

With a view to achieve an improved building of the kind mentioned the arrangement in accordance with this invention shows several changes concerning the details of the building as concerns the foundation, the framework, as beams, frames, sills and capping plates, uprights and wall panels and in applicable cases system of joists. Thus a foundation according to the invention fulfills the requirements made and shows several advantageous. The cost for a foundation can be reduced as early as when removing excavated material for the base.
