A process of constructing a structural concrete building using one or more concrete-fillable prefabricated cartridges, the process comprising:
- providing a concrete-fillable prefabricated cartridge comprising:
- an inner wall frame,
- a first removable form attached to an outer portion of the inner wall frame such that liquid concrete may be poured into a cavity defined by the inner wall frame and the first removable form, and
- one or more reinforcement bars disposed within the cavity of the concrete-fillable prefabricated cartridge, wherein the one or more reinforcement bars are one or more first reinforcement bars;
- placing the concrete-fillable prefabricated cartridge upon a slab foundation;
- filling the concrete-fillable prefabricated cartridge with liquid concrete;
- allowing the liquid concrete to cure;
- removing the first removable form;
- providing a concrete-fillable prefabricated panelized wall cartridge comprising:
- a panelized wall frame,
- a second removable form attached to an outer portion of the panelized wall frame such that liquid concrete may be poured into a wall cartridge cavity defined by the panelized wall frame and the second removable form, and
- one or more second reinforcement bars disposed within the cavity of the concrete-fillable prefabricated cartridge;
- placing the concrete-fillable prefabricated panelized wall cartridge upon the slab foundation;
- attaching the concrete-fillable prefabricated panelized wall cartridge to the slab foundation;
- filling the concrete-fillable prefabricated panelized wall cartridge with liquid concrete;
- allowing the liquid concrete to cure in the concrete-fillable prefabricated panelized wall cartridge;
- and
- removing the second removable form.
