Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention generally relates to construction
elements for erecting structures, and also to methods of erecting
structures with the use of construction elements. Construction
elements for erecting structures are conventionally flat elements,
which are assembled at a site of construction for erecting a
structure. Such flat constructions elements cannot be too wide
because their transportation with the use of conventional
transportation means is not possible. It is therefore necessary to
use the construction elements with reduced width to allow their
transportation, or to produce wide construction elements at the
construction site. It is therefore believed that it would be
advisable to improve existing construction elements and methods for
erection of structures with their use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to
provide a construction element for erecting structures, as well as
method for erection of structures with its use, which eliminate the
disadvantages of the prior art.
[0003] In keeping with these objects and with others which will
become apparent hereinafter, one feature of the present invention
resides, briefly stated, in a construction element for erecting a
structure, comprising at least one first panel configured to extend
substantially vertically when it is arranged in an erected
structure to form a wall, and at least one second panel configured
to extend substantially horizontally when it is arranged in the
erected structure to form a substantially horizontal partition,
wherein said first panel and said second panel together have a
three-dimensional configuration and are connected with one another
so that said first and second panels arranged in the erected
structure extend substantially perpendicular to one another and
also said first or second panel are turnable relative to one
another to include an acute angle there between so as to reduce a
horizontal extension of the construction element for transportation
purposes.
[0004] In accordance with another feature of the present invention,
the construction element has hinge means pivotally connecting said
first and second panels with one another so that they can turn
relative to one another to assume one position in which they are
located at the acute angle relative to one another and another
position in which they extend substantially perpendicular to one
another.
[0005] In accordance with the invention, the construction element
also has means for immovably fixing said first and second panels
with one another in said another position in which they extend
substantially perpendicular to one another. Still a further feature
of the present invention is that the construction element can have
a further such second panel which is located at opposite side of
said first panel in regard to said first mentioned second panel and
is turnable relative to said first panel to be located at an acute
angle relative to said first panel or substantially perpendicular
to said first panel, so that said first panel and both said second
panels together form said three-dimensional configuration. In
accordance with the present invention, also a method of erecting a
structure, comprising the steps of providing a plurality of such
three-dimensional construction elements; transporting the
construction elements to a site for erection of the structure with
the first and second panels of the construction elements being
arranged at an acute angle relative to one another; at the site for
erection of the structure, turning the first or second panels
relative to one another so that said first and second panels extend
substantially perpendicular to one another; and assembling the
structure from the constructions elements in which the first and
second panels extend substantially perpendicular to one
another.
[0006] The novel feature of the present invention are defined in
the appended claims, while the construction and the operation of
the invention will be best understood from the following
description of the preferred embodiments which is accompanied by
the following drawings.

elements in accordance with the present invention. It has a
horizontal width determined between vertical planes 2.
[0012] Reference numeral 3 identifies substantially panels of the
construction elements which can be formed as composite
iron-reinforced concrete panels and in an erected structure extend
substantially horizontally to form or to support a floor and/or a
ceiling. A mounting element 4 is further provided, and the above
mentioned panels in a lowered position are identified with
reference numeral 5.
[0013] Further panels of the construction elements which can be
also formed as composite iron-reinforced concrete panels and in the
erected structure form inner substantially vertical wall panels are
identified with reference numeral 6. Still further panels of the
inventive construction elements which also can be formed as
composite iron-reinforced concrete panels are in the erected
structure form outer substantially vertical wall panels are
identified with reference numeral 8. A support 7 supports the
panel.
[0014] The erected structure has a foundation 9, flat composite
iron-reinforced panels 10, monolithic non-removable iron-reinforced
horizontal partition 11, tubular inclined support 12 for
temporarily supporting the wall panels during mounting. Reference
numerals 13 identifies a temporary, disassembleble steel support
for mounting, 14 is a thermal coating, 15 is a monolithic concrete,
17 is a wooden support bar, 17 are anchor bolts and 18 is a steel
armature. Reference numerals 18 and 19 identify steel
reinforcement, reference numerals 20 and 21 identify fixing
structures, and reference numeral 21 identifies a steel
reinforcement net.
[0015] In accordance with the present invention, the panel 8 with
the panel 3 form a three-dimensional construction element of one
type, while the panel 6 with one panel 3 at one side or with two
panels 3 form a three-dimensional construction element of another
type.
[0016] The erection of a structure in accordance with the present
invention is performed in the following manner.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the support 7 is placed on the
transporting vehicle 1 and support the three-dimensional inventive
structural component. The inner wall panel 6 is fixed in a vertical
position, and the outer wall panel 8 can be fixed in by the
mounting elements 4, and then turned downwardly for transportation
so that they do not extend horizontally outwardly beyond the planes
2.
[0018] FIG. 2 shows a construction element composed of the panel 3
and panel 8. The anchor belt 17 is used to fix an extending console
rib panel 3 to the panel 8, and the temporary mounting element 4 is
fixed to the wall panel 8 and allows turning to change geometry of
the three-dimensional structural component. The thermal coating 14
is glued to the outer surface of the panel 8. The step of
connecting the mounting element 4 to the wall panel 8 and the panel
3 is illustrated on lower view.
[0019] FIG. 3 shows a connection of the panels 3 with the inner
panel 6. The console (or console ribs of the panels 3 are connected
with the inner panel 6 by the anchor bolts 17. The mounting element
4 are placed and perform the same functions as in FIG. 2.
[0020] FIG. 4 shows the panel 3 in a middle of the structure,
supported on temporary mounting supports 13 with the longitudinal
wooden bar 16. It also shows reinforcement of the monolithic
horizontal element in the middle of the structure. It shows as an
example the working calculated reinforcement 18, the structural
designed reinforcement 19, fixing structures 20 composed of steel
reinforcement, the steel reinforcement net 22, the monolithic
concrete 15.
[0021] FIG. 5 shows the process of mounting of the structural
components. After the transportation, the construction elements are
converted into a working position. The panels 3 are lifted to
assume a horizontal position on the transporting vehicle and fixed
by the mounting element 4. The mounting of the first level is
performed after mounting of the flat panels 10 on the foundation
elements 9. The mounting of the three-dimensional construction
elements is performed by simultaneous actions on the panels 6, 8
and 3. The wall panels 6 and 8 are placed on the panels of the
lower level and the foundation elements 9. Then the wall panels are
immovably fixed by the tubular supports 12. The panel 3 in the
middle part of the level is supported on the temporary support 13
and abuts against the neighboring panel 3. After pouring of the
monolithic concrete over the composite iron-reinforced panels 3, a
monolithic iron-reinforced horizontal construction 11 is formed.
The process are repeated for the next, upper level, etc.
[0022] FIG. 6 shows a three-dimensional structure erected with the
use of the three-dimensional construction element in accordance
with the present invention. It can be seen, that the panels 3 can
be additionally provided with ribs which are spaced from one
another.
[0023] The invention is not limited to the details shown since
various modifications and structural changes are possible without
departing from the spirit of the present invention.
