ABSTRACT:
A novel building construction including recycled or discarded tires uses compacted bales of such tires as a structural core material. Earth is graded or formed for a foundation in the usual manner, and the compacted bales are arranged either horizontally or vertically and secured together to form cores for floor or wall structures. The tire bale core is then covered with construction screen or reinforcement bar and finally with concrete. When such compacted bales include an axial hollow center, the bales may be concentrically arranged along the axial centers to form air passages for heating and cooling air flow through the floor and/or wall interior. The bales may be stacked to form floors more than one bale layer deep, if desired, and the walls may be constructed more than one bale in thickness in a similar manner. The hollow passages provided by such construction also permits the use of at least some of the hollow vertical passages formed in the walls to be used as forms for the pouring of internal concrete columns to provide structural strength for an overlying roof structure. Remaining hollow passages may be filled with insulating material if desired.
