Abstract
The invention concerns a modular wall or double wall element (S) for dry assembly characterized in that some at least (1a, 1b, 31a, 31b) of its faces arranged to co-operate with adjacent modular elements have contact parts (2a, 2b; 32a, 32a, ′ 32b, 32b′) designed to be pressed against said adjacent modular elements, and separating parts (3a, 3a′, 3b, 3b′ 33a′, 33b) arranged to remain separated by a clearance of said adjacent modular elements, said clearance being sufficiently large to limit, even eliminate, infiltration of water by capillary action. The invention is applicable to the field of construction building.

A modular element (S;
- C;
- A) for a wall or double wall for dry assembly, characterized in that at least some (1a, 1b;
- 31a, 31b;
- 231a, 231b) of its faces designed to co-operate with adjacent modular elements have contact portions (2a, 2b;
- 32a, 32a′, 32b, 32b′;
- 102a, 102b) designed to be applied against said adjacent modular elements, and separation portions (3a, 3a′, 3b, 3b′;
- 33a, 33b;
- 203a, 203a′) designed to remain separated by a clearance (J;
- J′) from said adjacent modular elements, said clearance (J;
- J′) being sufficiently large to limit or even eliminate infiltration of water by capillarity.
The modular element (S;
- C;
- A) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it comprises at least one hollow (25, 26;
- 125, 125′, 126, 126′;
- 225, 226) extending between its upper (1a) and lower (1b) faces in order to oblige possible infiltration of water to run vertically as well as to lighten said modular element (S;
- C;
- A).
The modular element (S;
- C;
- A) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that its side faces (31a, 31b;
- 231a, 231b) designed to co-operate with adjacent modular elements each have at least one substantially flat land (32a, 32a′, 32b, 32b′)and a zigzag-shaped portion (33a, 33b) defining a mutually mating interfitting arrangement, in order to ensure guiding of said modular element (S;
- C;
- A) at the time of assembly, to maintain it in place once assembled, and to form a mechanical barrier against dynamic vertical infiltration of water and air.
The modular element (S;
- C;
- A) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is shaped whereby said clearance (J;
- J′) between separation portions is at least equal to 2 mm.
The modular element (S;
- C;
- A) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least its upper horizontal edge (16) designed to be placed facing outwards is shaped so as to render the horizontal line of join between two stacked modular elements visible.
The modular element (S;
- C;
- A) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that one at least of its vertical edges (36a, 36b) designed to face outwards is shaped so as to render the line of join between two adjacent modular elements visible.
The modular element (C) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it carries a U-shaped cavity or L-shaped cavity (150) extending between its upper and lower faces, in order to form an anchoring modular element.
The modular element (A) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that its side faces (231a, 231b) designed to be placed against adjacent modular elements are oriented substantially perpendicularly with respect to each other, in order to form a corner modular element.
The modular element (S;
- C;
- A) according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is in waterproof concrete to avoid impregnation by water
A wall or double wall, characterized in that it is composed of modular elements (S;
- C;
- A) according to any one of the preceding claims.
