It is a constructive system that improves, facilitates and reduces costs in the construction of houses and buildings of one or more stories, through a new type of electro-welded steel structures pile up; through a new type of smart concrete blocks, that assembles one to each other with mortars, (mortars are blind view), because it always place to the interior of the blocks, which are linked to pillars through steel clips, whose role is make perpendicular and align; through a new type galvanized steel profiles to build roofs, which are joined to each other through connectors that allow them to easily take any degree of slope, and, through a new type of structural aluminum molds, which are used to build pillars, beams and slabs of reinforced concrete. Its main advantages are: 1. Reduces 43.22% the direct cost of construction (materials and workmanship direct) from each house basic (foundation, structure, concrete floor, metallic structure of the roof, and walls) 2. Increases 50% worker productivity 3. Reduces 50% use of mortar. 4. Improving the structural condition of homes to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes. 5. All materials used are not combustible. 6. The finishing of the walls is perfect, it does not require plaster. 7. The use of mortar inside the blocks to join them with each other, allows the pre-painted, manufactured blocks, achieving a perfect finish, and reducing the cost of painting of the houses.
The construction system of claim 1 comprising to Starlum system as comprehensive method of build houses of one or more stories, which has been designed to reduce the cost of the houses, through productivity and efficiency, while improving the structural quality, with the goal that neither earthquakes or hurricanes destroy. All components of the system work related to each other, to make easy the constructive process, reduce execution times, lower costs and provide better structural quality and long-term the durability of the houses. The reinforce concrete of the plinths, the reinforced concrete beams with steel electro welded, the pillars of concrete reinforced with steel structures electro welded, the walls with concrete blocks tied to the pillars through clips steel, reinforced upper concrete beams with electro welded steel structures, and metallic profiles of the roof fixed to the upper concrete beams, through expansion bolts, steel beams which can be graduate any degree of tilt through the connectors. All of these elements working together, offer a monolithic house that face successfully earthquakes and hurricanes. Versatility that have Starlum system is very important in relation to the electro-welded steel structures, as they may be amended in terms of thickness and distribution of steel, to make them more resilient, according to the criterion of technical engineers calculators, who according to the technical requirements of a specific real estate project, can apply to manufacturers who need modifications. On the whole this is the first and fundamental claim.
The construction system of claim 2 comprising steel electro welded structures shown in FIGS. 4, 4A, 5, 6, 7, 7A, 8, 9, 10, 11, are functioning how pillars or beams. Further comprising the function of stackable products shown in figs:
The construction system of claim 3 comprising:
The construction system of claim 4 comprising:
The construction system of claim 5 comprising:
The construction system of claim 6 comprising:
The construction system of claim 7 comprising the horizontal beams connector 71, which appears in FIG. 47, whose function is to unite the horizontal beams with the central diagonal beams. Further comprising the 3 holes of connection 70, and slots semicircular which has on lateral sides 69.
The construction system of claim 8 comprising the inclined beams connector 72 that appears in FIG. 48, which is used to build roofs on economic houses with low sizes, in which the central beam rests on a central pillar, so that the distance between supports of the central beam does not exceed 4 m. The role of this connector is to unite through galvanized bolts the central metal beam with two inclined beams laterals, achieving a slope of two inclinations and forming a very strong structural knot between the central beam and the two sloping beams. Further comprising, the holes simple and almost tubular holes through which to insert a bolt that serves as a pivot for the sloping beams can rotate.
The construction system of claim 9 comprising the connector 73 shown in FIG. 49 which is used as an anchor that connects the horizontal metal beam with the sloping metal beam. Further comprising the hole simple and semi-tubular hole through which inserts a bolt that serves as a pivot for the sloping metal beam can rotate.
The construction system of claim 10 comprising the connector 80 of the metal beams of the roof that appears in FIG. 55. Further comprising, the elements that comprise the connector metal beams, which are shown in the FIGS. 53 and 54, who are:
The construction system of claim 11 comprising:
The construction system of claim 12 comprising:
The construction system of claim 13 comprising the metal molds 90, 92, 93 which shown in FIGS. 65, 66 and 67, which are used to plank molding foundation beams, upper beams, pillars or concrete slabs. Further comprising:
The construction system of claim 14 comprising the connector 95 and 96, which shown in FIGS. 68 and 69, which is used to join with each other molds 90 in its interior and exterior parts when operating as plank mold of concrete beam of foundation.
The construction system of claim 15 comprising, the clip snap 94 shown in FIG. 71. Is used as an element of joins among all kinds of metallic molds of the Starlum System. Further comprising, the recesses 94A, of the clip snap 94, which are used to be inserted in the rectangular holes that has metal molds, which operates the system snap, and produce a strong and resistant union that holding adequately molds with each other. Further comprising:
The construction system of claim 16 comprising the use of mortar to the interior of the blocks, which operate provides to Starlum System greater resistance to the union between blocks, as opposed to traditional system used in the United States and the rest of the world. Besides the Starlum system is the only one that shows a finished, perfect, and clean without waste mortar on the walls, with the great advantage that they do not need plaster the house walls after has been finished the lift of the walls.
The construction system of claim 17 comprising:
The construction system of claim 18 comprising:
The construction system of claim 19 comprising:
