Abstract
A wall support system may include a top support plate locatable on a top surface of a floor of the above ground level; a bottom support plate locatable beneath the top support plate on a bottom surface of the floor; a securing means for securing the top support plate to the bottom support plate; a bottom support prop having a first end configured to be coupled to the bottom support plate and a second end configured to be coupled to a load bearing structure associated with the multi-level building; and a top support prop having a first end configured to be coupled to the top support plate and a second end configured to be attached to an inner surface of a pre-cast concrete slab wall substantially vertically positioned on the floor of the above ground level.
Claims16
A wall support system for use in constructing walls of an above ground level of a multi-level building, the wall support system comprising:
- a top support plate locatable on a top surface of a floor of the above ground level;
- a bottom support plate locatable beneath the top support plate on a bottom surface of the floor of the above ground level;
- a securing means for securing the top support plate to the bottom support plate, thereby sandwiching a portion of the floor of the above ground level therebetween;
- a bottom support prop having a first end configured to be coupled to the bottom support plate and a second end configured to be coupled to a load bearing structure associated with the multi-level building;
- and
- a top support prop having a first end configured to be coupled to the top support plate and a second end configured to be attached to an inner surface of a pre-cast concrete slab wall substantially vertically positioned on the floor of the above ground level,
- wherein the top support prop is configured to extend diagonally from the top support plate to the pre-cast concrete slab wall to support the pre-cast concrete slab wall during construction of the multi-level building.
A method of constructing walls of an above ground level of a multi-level building, the method comprising:
- situating a top support plate on a top surface of a floor of the above ground level;
- situating a bottom support plate on a bottom surface of the floor of the above ground level;
- securing the top support plate to the bottom support plate, thereby sandwiching a portion of the floor of the above ground level therebetween;
- coupling a first end of a bottom support prop to the bottom support plate;
- coupling a second end of the bottom support prop to a load bearing structure associated with the multi-level building;
- coupling a first end of a top support prop to the top support plate;
- and
- coupling a second end of the top support prop to an inner surface of a pre-cast concrete slab wall substantially vertically positioned on the floor of the above ground level, wherein the top support prop extends diagonally from the top support plate to the pre-cast concrete slab wall, thereby supporting the pre-cast concrete slab wall during construction of the multi-level building.
