Disclosed is a method of construction of a wall from first, second and end modules each forming part of the wall. The method includes assembly of two modules being first, end or first and end modules having portions forming part of the wall by aligning these modules in a desired alignment and connecting them together with connection means to form a supporting structure for second modules. The connection means has a tie portion generally extending in the direction of the alignment. The tie portion has a portion corresponding with connection portions of a second module and cooperation of the corresponding tie portion, extending between guides formed as part of the tie portion, with the connection portions connects the second module to the supporting structure. In such manner, a portion of a wall may be constructed. Use of mortar of scaffolding and concrete pouring techniques may thus be avoided in construction of a structure.
A wall, comprising first, second, and end modules, and a connection means for tying adjoining modules together in tension, wherein the first module comprises a web and a flange, wherein said web is formed with rectangular holes for accommodating the connection means connecting the module with a further module to form a supporting structure for second modules.
A wall, comprising first, second, and end modules, and a connection means for tying adjoining modules together in tension, wherein the first module comprises a web and a flange forming part of a face of the wall, wherein said web is formed with rectangular holes for accommodating the connection means connecting the module with a further module to form a supporting structure for second modules.
A wall, comprising first, second, and end modules, and a connection means for tying adjoining modules together in tension, wherein the end module comprises a web and a flange, wherein said web is provided with a recess having rectangular holes for accommodating key means for connection of said end module to a further module forming a support structure for second modules.
A kit for use in construction of a wall, comprising first, second and end modules, or frames, window frames, capping members and first, second, third and/or fourth connection means, wherein the first module comprises a web and a flange forming part of a face of the wall, wherein said web is formed with rectangular holes for accommodating the connection means connecting the module with a further module to form a supporting structure for second modules.
