Connector for reinforcement within a formwork

A reinforcement mesh for load-bearing building panels, comprising:

• at least a pair of first bars;
• a plurality of second bars, which are parallel to and at a certain distance from each other, oriented at right angles to the first bars;
• each second bar being connected to both the first bars at respective coupling nodes;
• wherein each second bar extends along a respective main direction between a first and a second end, each provided with a through socket;
• each through socket being substantially coaxial with the through sockets of the corresponding ends of the other second bars so as to form a joining line which may be passed by a third bar for connecting, during the assembly step, two adjoining meshes.

A building structure comprising:

• a basic horizontal element, substantially flat and forming a treadable surface, comprising a plurality of stirrup bodies rising from the surface and aligned for identifying at least one habitable room;
• a plurality of modular walls each provided with a plurality of wall elements alongside each other and having lower ends connected to the stirrup bodies for laterally delimiting the habitable room;
• the wall elements each comprising a pair of panels parallel to each other and spaced at a predetermined distance so as to form a hollow space between them for receiving construction material;
• an upper horizontal element connected to the upper ends of the wall elements for delimiting the top of the habitable room;
• wherein the hollow space is filled with a volume of clayey soil having a percentage of between 19% and 26% of inert material and delimited by lower connection means anchored to the stirrup bodies and upper connection means anchored to the upper horizontal element;
• the volume of clayey soil compacted such as to have a compression strength of at least 22 kg/cm2 and a shear strength of at least 4 kg/cm2.

A process for making a load-bearing building panel wherein it comprises the following steps:

• preparing a predetermined quantity of fibrous material to substantially occupy the volume of the panel;
• preparing a tank full of a water-vinegar solution, wherein the vinegar corresponds to a quantity of between 55% and 70% of the solution;
• cutting the fibrous material into strips of predetermined length;
• immersing the strips of fibrous material in the tank for a preset length of time;
• preparing a predetermined quantity of hydraulic lime or plaster;
• pouring the hydraulic lime or plaster and the fibrous material into a mixer for amalgamating them, thereby obtaining a mix ready for pouring into the formwork.
