DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a building comprising prefabricated components, these components, in particular wall and ceiling panels, being fabricated with the aid and a shell, and this lost shell being produced from semifinished parts.
As general prior art, it is already known to erect buildings made of prefabricated parts. Constructing such buildings is fast but usually expensive. These expenses involve high wage expenses, costs for furnishing formwork, lifting equipment, transport costs, and other secondary costs.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
By comparison, it is the object of the present invention to create a building which can be constructed quickly and inexpensively from a commercial standpoint and nevertheless has a long life.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention, this object is attained in that these semifinished parts are beams and angle elements forming the sides of the prefabricated components. This has the advantage that the building made of prefabricated components can be built quickly and inexpensively, since the aforementioned costs are reduced considerably. The less formwork is needed, for instance, the lower the costs are for furnishing these shells. Moreover, compared with the known prior art, there are fewer formwork faces to be installed and dismantled, which results in a reduction in wage expenses.
The semifinished parts are advantageously produced resting on formwork, preferably in the area of the construction site, in handy sizes. These semifinished parts or frames may be available in various sizes, which are so light in weight that they can be carried by hand. Next, once the mortar or Torcret concrete fill has set, the semifinished parts are put together.
So that the semifinished parts will be sufficiently rigid, they advantageously have a reinforcement of structural steel. In order also to be able to align the individual semifinished parts more easily and accurately, they are preferably provided with adjusting means, for instance in the form of sheaths and arbors, or tongues and grooves. Openings for doors, windows, cutouts and so forth, are inserted into the corresponding semi-finished parts.
The semifinished parts, set up and aligned, are joined by wire or connection reinforcements and are then fixed with Torcret or mortar at the connecting points. Once the Torcret material or mortar has set, the shell can be filled with filler product, such as concrete, lightweight concrete, or other construction materials. The possibility also exists for the shell to serve as a form box for brick building blocks or other blocks or various kinds of filler product. The thus-furnished part is a prefabricated component, in particular, a wall, ceiling or roof panel for buildings of all kinds.
The semifinished parts have profiled features, preferably conical indentations, which afford space for structural reinforcement and casting composition and for transferral aids. These transferral aids may be continuous, horizontal metal profiles with adjustable-height elements, such as screws, or they may be reinforcing irons or profile steel for the vertically extending alignment of the prefabricated components and securing against tilting, and may also be complete transfer gauges for complete alignment of the prefabricated components in any desired position, including in an inclined position.
A faster course of work can alternatively be attained by providing that a steel tape is wrapped around the entire shell in the outer region, preferably resting in the conical groove of the semifinished parts. If the steel tape is dimensioned adequately, then filling of the shell elements can immediately be begun. Thus the time saved for Torcret setting at the connecting points is saved.
Instead of the steel tape, the possibility alternatively exists of holding the semifinished parts together with the aid of squared timbers or steel girders. Then the applicable part can be filled on the same day or immediately thereafter. Another characteristic results from the fact that the semifi
