Abstract
Scaffold systems (SMV) to make substantially vertical building works, with sensitive time and manpower savings. In an advantageous embodiment, a scaffold is formed by a couple of modular semi-scaffolds which face each other, a semi-scaffold being placed in a cis-position over the work under erection and the other semi-scaffold is set in the trans-position.
Claims7
A building system for erecting a wall extended in a vertical direction, the building system comprising:
- at least two scaffold-forming elements, each of the scaffold-forming elements being modular, specular, space adjustable, and movable as an integral body, without needing de-mounting and re-mounting;
- and
- wherein each of the scaffold-forming elements includes:
- a first superior subsystem (S1) comprises a frame with top cross-bar (T1) having an inwardly protuberance (PRO), which is configured to cover and adjust total height of the scaffold-forming element by a vertical sliding movement under the action of an upper jack, and also adapted for closing the scaffold-forming element under a horizontal slab, by pushing upwardly against the slab;
- a second carrier subsystem (S2) which is configured to slide upwardly under the action of a lower jack, the second subsystem being located at a central portion of the scaffold-forming element;
- a third subsystem (S3) is adapted for supporting the scaffold-forming element in a first stationary configuration, in which the third subsystem is located beneath the second carrier subsystem, and in a second configuration in which the scaffold-forming element moves as an integral body;
- and
- a fourth subsystem (S4) including a prevailingly vertical body which is configured to form and act as a semi-scaffold fixed to at least a face of said second carrier subsystem and facing the extended wall;
- and
- wherein the semi-scaffold of one of the scaffold-forming elements is separate from a corresponding semi-scaffold of another one of the scaffold-forming elements located on another side of the extended wall.
