Abstract
A wall support system may include a top support plate locatable on a top surface of a floor of the above ground level; a bottom support plate locatable beneath the top support plate on a bottom surface of the floor; a securing means for securing the top support plate to the bottom support plate; a bottom support prop having a first end configured to be coupled to the bottom support plate and a second end configured to be coupled to a load bearing structure associated with the multi-level building; and a top support prop having a first end configured to be coupled to the top support plate and a second end configured to be attached to an inner surface of a pre-cast concrete slab wall substantially vertically positioned on the floor of the above ground level.
Claims16
A wall support system for use in constructing walls of an above ground level of a multi-level building, the wall support system comprising:
- a top support plate locatable on a top surface of a floor of the above ground level;
- a bottom support plate locatable beneath the top support plate on a bottom surface of the floor of the above ground level;
- a securing means for securing the top support plate to the bottom support plate, thereby sandwiching a portion of the floor of the above ground level therebetween;
- a bottom support prop having a first end configured to be coupled to the bottom support plate and a second end configured to be coupled to a load bearing structure associated with the multi-level building;
- and
- a top support prop having a first end configured to be coupled to the top support plate and a second end configured to be attached to an inner surface of a pre-cast concrete slab wall substantially vertically positioned on the floor of the above ground level, wherein the top support prop is configured to extend diagonally from the top support plate to the pre-cast concrete slab wall to support the pre-cast concrete slab wall during construction of the multi-level building.
A method of constructing walls of an above ground level of a multi-level building, the method comprising:
- situating a top support plate on a top surface of a floor of the above ground level;
- situating a bottom support plate on a bottom surface of the floor of the above ground level;
- securing the top support plate to the bottom support plate, thereby sandwiching a portion of the floor of the above ground level therebetween;
- coupling a first end of a bottom support prop to the bottom support plate;
- coupling a second end of the bottom support prop to a load bearing structure associated with the multi-level building;
- coupling a first end of a top support prop to the top support plate;
- and
- coupling a second end of the top support prop to an inner surface of a pre-cast concrete slab wall substantially vertically positioned on the floor of the above ground level, wherein the top support prop extends diagonally from the top support plate to the pre-cast concrete slab wall, thereby supporting the pre-cast concrete slab wall during construction of the multi-level building.
