Abstract
A prefabricated modular wall element (20) comprises a precast reinforced concrete wall panel (21) having a front face (24). A plurality of spaced-apart individual slabs (33) of stone or brick are partially embedded in the front face (24) of the panel (21) during casting of the panel (21) and project outwardly of the front face (24) with channels being formed between the slabs (33). The slabs are arranged on the front face (24) such that the front face (24) simulates a wall constructed of stone. A pair of spaced-apart support legs (38) are provided at a bottom (27) of the wall panel (21) for keying into a concrete foundation (42) to support the wall element (1) in an upright.
Claims20
A prefabricated modular wall element, including:
- a precast reinforced concrete wall panel,
- said wall panel having a front face, a rear face, end faces, a top and a bottom,
- a plurality of individual slabs of stone or brick,
- each slab being partially embedded in said wall panel and projecting outwardly from said front face of the wall panel,
- the slabs being spaced apart on the wall panel having channels formed between outwardly projecting portions of adjacent slabs on the wall panel,
- said slabs being arranged on the wall panel such that the front of the wall element simulates a wall constructed of stone or brick according to the type of slabs embedded in the wall panel,
- at least two ground-engaging support legs being provided at the bottom of the wall panel,
- said support legs being spaced apart,
- each of said support legs projecting forwardly of the front face of the wall panel and projecting rearwardly of the rear face of the wall panel.
