Disclosed is a method of construction of a wall (40) from first, second and end modules (10, 20, 30) each forming part of the wall. The method includes assembly of two modules being first, end or first and end modules (10, 30) having portions forming part of the wall (40) by aligning these modules (10) in a desired alignment and connecting them together with connection means (50) to form a supporting structure (200) for second modules (20). The connection means (50) has a tie portion (51) generally extending in the direction of the alignment. The tie portion (51) has a portion corresponding with connection portions (26) of a second module (20) and cooperation of the corresponding tie portion (58), extending between guides (56) formed as part of the tie portion (51), with the connection portions (26) connects the second module (20) to the supporting structure (200). In such manner, a portion of a wall (40) may be constructed. Use of mortar of scaffolding and concrete pouring techniques may thus be avoided in construction of a structure.
A method of construction of a wall from first, second and end modules each having a portion forming one part of the face of the wall including:
A kit for use in construction of a wall, comprising first, second and end modules;
A wall, comprising first, second, and end modules, and a connection means for tying adjoining modules together in tension, wherein the connection means for tying adjoining modules together comprises a tie rod with longitudinally spaced lugs having apertures for accommodating a wedge for anchoring said connection means to a key.
A method of constructing a structural column comprising:
A wall, comprising first, second, and end modules, and a connection means for tying adjoining modules together in tension, wherein the second module comprises a web and a flange forming part of a face of the wall, wherein angled slots are formed in said web proximate ends of the module for engagement with corresponding tie portions of the connection means connecting together modules of a supporting structure.
