Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a transverse-type building exterior block and a method for constructing the same, wherein components are pre-manufactured in a factory for easy transport, delivered to a construction site of a main building, and manufactured into a large-area exterior block, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for extensive equipment, manpower, and storage yards, and facilitating rapid construction.
Claims13
A transverse-type building exterior block comprising:
- a main unit, the main unit including a plurality of semi-units horizontally arranged and coupled and fixed to one another, each semi-unit including a plurality of base units vertically arranged and coupled and fixed to one another;
- and
- an exterior panel attached to one entire side of the main unit so as to cover the one entire side of the main unit and be secured to the main unit,
- wherein each base unit comprises:
- an upper horizontal frame;
- a lower horizontal frame;
- a plurality of vertical frames arranged side by side between the upper horizontal frame and the lower horizontal frame, the plurality of vertical frames being arranged at intervals along a longitudinal direction of the upper horizontal frame and coupled and fixed at upper ends thereof to the upper horizontal frame and coupled and fixed at lower ends thereof to the lower horizontal frame;
- a fixing bracket in the shape of ‘’ provided on one side of the upper horizontal frame in a direction perpendicular to the plurality of vertical frames;
- and
- height adjustment bolts vertically penetrating and fixed to the lower horizontal frame at midpoints on both sides of a center along an entire length of the lower horizontal frame.

A method for constructing a transverse-type building exterior block, the method comprising:
- a base unit manufacturing step of manufacturing a plurality of base units by assembling upper and lower horizontal frames and a plurality of vertical frames arranged in parallel, while fixing a ‘’-shaped fixing bracket to each upper horizontal frame, the fixing bracket through which bolts vertically penetrate at an interval;
- a semi-unit manufacturing step of manufacturing a plurality of semi-units by vertically arranging the manufactured base units and welding or bolting the vertically arranged base units to one another;
- an exterior panel manufacturing step of manufacturing exterior panels which match a size of each base unit or each semi-unit;
- an individual component transportation step of loading the manufactured semi-units and the exterior panels into a vehicle and transporting the semi-units and the exterior panels to a field yard or assembly site;
- a main unit manufacturing step of manufacturing a main unit by arranging a plurality of the transported semi-units in a horizontal direction and welding or bolting the semi-units to one another;
- a block completion step of completing a block by attaching the transported exterior panels to one entire side of the main unit so that the exterior panels cover the one entire side and securing the exterior panels to the main unit;
- and
- an exterior wall installation step of transporting and lifting the completed block to an exterior wall frame of a building, placing the fixing bracket of the block onto a ‘’-shaped support bracket of the exterior wall frame, and securing the fixing bracket by tightening nuts on a bolt.
