Process and apparatus for erecting walls made of glass structural bricks and at least a joint mortar, together with a joint lining and, if necessary, reinforcement

摘要

The invention relates to a method for erecting walls made of glass structural bricks and a joint-lining in which the said bricks are built up with the joint-mortar, if necessary strengthened with reinforcing elements, with substantially horizontal and vertical joints, brick by brick, from bottom to top of the wall and the joints therein are lined, in connection with which, and for the purpose of reducing the need for skilled masons to such an extent that correct laying of the glass bricks may also be carried out by unskilled and untrained labor, and so that the amount of equipment required at the work-site may be considerably reduced or completely eliminated, provision is made, according to the invention, for the respective outer and inner linings of the horizontal and vertical joints to be applied, whereupon the lining of at least one horizontal joint, possibly after inspection of the reinforcing rods between the said joint-linings, is used as a lost outer shuttering for the joint-mortar and serves thereafter as a retainer for the glass bricks which are placed upon the linings of the horizontal joints and against the linings of the vertical joints, thus forming, together with the joint-linings, mould- cavities for the joint-mortar to be poured into the joints.
