ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to modular building construction and to modules for use therein. The modules may be used for floor, wall, ceiling and roof construction in single story and multi-story buildings. The floor, ceiling and roof modules are constructed of at least two sheets of rigid, foamed plastic material such as polyurethane and polystyrene of the same width and length which are offset laterally with respect to each other by 50% of the width and length, thus providing floors, ceilings and roofs of staggered construction. The spaces left in the upper layer by the offset are filled in by partial sheet of the same plastic material of the same thickness so that all the edges of the sheets of the assembled floor, ceiling or roof modules are aligned. T-plates comprising a head and a stem fastened normally to the head are secured adhesively, and, if desired, also mechanically to the edges of the assembled modules with the stem between the sheets, either spaced from each other or provided with grooves to receive the stem, and the head against and secured adhesively to the aligned edge of the sheets of the assembled modules. The wall modules preferably have the two sheets overlying one another so that all edges of the sheets of the module are aligned and T-plates are secured to these edges as described above. The wall modules may be provided with access openings, such as doors for ingress into and egress from the interior of the building and windows for light and air, which are framed by T-plates.
