ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an underground room, such as notably a cellar, including a floor, a ceiling and lateral walls formed notably by stacked box-sections, prefabricated from concrete, the entire assembly being accommodated in an excavation sunk under a floor slab of a structure, this excavation being lined with a fluid-tight enclosure and provided with a bed of sand. The underground room has vertical posts or columns of reinforced concrete extending from the floor to the level of the ceiling thereof, and having a portion of a predetermined shape. The walls of the stacked box-sections have vertical edges of a shape corresponding to the predetermined shape of the portion of the columns, with the vertical edges bearing against the columns so that the box-sections act as supporting walls to withstand the earth pressure.
