SUPPORTING STRUCTURE OF A CONGLOMERATE OR REINFORCED CONCRETE, IN PARTICULAR ANTI-EARTHQUAKE, FOR PLANAR AS WELL AS VAULTED OR ARC-SHAPED CONSTRUCTIONS, PRODUCED OF MODULAR ELEMENTS

摘要

Modular building elements which form when assembled a network of conglomerate or reinforced concrete as a bearing structure which is also anti-seismic. The modular elements are to be used for constructing flat or flat and/or vaulted brickwork, with or without air spaces. Each type of element is completed by a polyvalent modular element to be used as a single accessory for any corner, meeting point, cross wall attachment, etc. All the modular elements are equipped with groove devices suited to their particular characteristics to ensure that the assembled structure seals in conglomerate in each point, uninterrupted throughout the entire brickwork. The conglomerate network formed by the combination of all the molding characteristic of the modules is made up of vertical and horizontal seams designed to replace the pillars and beams of a reinforced concrete framework. This is anchored to the modular elements, at the same time attaching them to one another. The resulting structure allows construction of a building requiring no framework of reinforced concrete pillars and beams. When resistant modular elements are used, they contribute to the bearing function of the structure. When non-resistant modular elements are used, the network alone assumes the bearing function (FIG. 7).
