Abstract
A system of structural elements are disclosed for the construction of earth filled walls. The structural elements of the system form a variety of matching elements according to various applications. The present invention includes prefabricated elements as part of a structural system and walls built by the elements, as well as the use of the structural system and structural elements for the construction of walls.
Claims27
A structural system for the construction of walls comprising a framework consisting of solid frame elements and being filled with earth material, said frame elements extending in at least one plane and having at least one support area on at least one side, said frame elements further including at least one longitudinal beam having a cross-section with at least one portion thereof arranged at an acute angle against the main plane of the frame or slab, the upper surface thereof forming a substantially flat support for said earth material, at least one such longitudinal beam being located at the front side of said wall and having an upper front edge portion being positioned at a greater height compared with said flat support and forming a board for retaining a portion of said earth material resting on said flat support, the system further including holes extending at least partly vertically through said framework and distance elements between at least two of said frame or slab elements which are positioned one above the other such that the earth material at least partially filling said vertically extending openings forms at least one sloped surface extending at least partly through the scope between said frame or slab elements positioned one above the other.
