DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to the techniques for erecting load-bearing walls and dividing walls of a building by means of modularly assemblable panels of an expanded synthetic material, destined to receive a lining and wherein the load structure comprises a framework of wooden posts and beams.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The use of modularly assembleable elements off expanded synthetic material, typically of expanded polystyrene or polyurethane, for forming perimetral walls and internal dividing walls, traversed or not by steel-reinforced concrete pillars, which are formed in cavities which are purposely formed into the expanded polystyrene bodies, as well as of floor slabs, roofs, etc., has long now become a widespread practice in the building industry because of the numerous advantages that these building techniques offer in respect to more traditional techniques, under innumerable conditions. both in the residential and commercial building industry.
While the use of modular panels of expanded synthetic material for erecting perimeteral walls and dividing walls has enjoyed a ready acceptance in the building industry where the load structure is commonly made by a framework of steel-reinforced concrete, the technique hasn't had a similar acceptance where the most common building technique is that of erecting a Building structure in the form-of a wooden framework. This difference of acceptance may be ascribed to the fact that while in the case of reinforced-steel load-bearing structures the modular panels provided with internal channels advantageously provide in a very simple and effective manner the "molds" in which the steel reinforcing means may be set and the concrete poured. This fundamental advantage is no longer so significant in the case of buildings with a wooden framework, wherein the wooden structural members normally provide ideal fastening "ribs" for external and internal wood panelling, tile facing, or plaster or mortar coat. In this type of wooden framework buildings, the thermal insulation is commonly made by "filling" the space between the two wall linings, internal and external, with loose isolating material or with panels or mats of insulating material, such as for example expanded polystyrene or polyurethane panels or glass or rock fiber mats supported on paper, and alike materials, which may be suitably shaped or cut to measure during the laying. In other words, the erection of the structure may be made according to traditional techniques, before laying the insulating material, which may be done usually after having completed one of the two external or internal paneling.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that the use of modular panels of an expanded synthetic material having peculiar characteristics may have outstanding advantages also for erecting wooden framework buildings.
It is therefore a main objective of the present invention to provide a modular panel of an expanded synthetic material particularly suited for erecting perimetral walls and internal dividing walls, wherein the load is substantially borne by wooden risers or posts which are part of a load-bearing framework structure of the building. The panels of the invention are substantially composite, load-bearing panels, which beside permitting the fastening of the facing or finishing material of the wall to the wooden posts, which are part of the composite panel for conferring to the panel load-bearing properties and which upon mechanical connection constitute the wooden load-bearing framework of the building, permit also a great simplification of the erection of the load-bearing wooden framework structure itself.
Basically the panel of the invention comprises a parallelepiped self-supporting body of an expanded synthetic material, having a standardized thickness, a width modularly standardized and a height which may be predetermined during production of the panels, In order to coincide, or be congruent, with the height between two floors of the building to be constructed, and
