Abstract

A construction system for massive dwellings or alike; a unit shall be built in 5 days after preliminary work. First, shall be prepared precast items: sills and headers, using templates and reinforcing them to resist shear and diagonal stresses; and exterior and interior wall molds to use numerous times. Then foundation shall be set to have a slab floor with pipes inside a steel structure, and wall molds erected on each side of it, following a predetermined color and graphic code. Afterwards, shall be inserted precasts and all openings of building to pour concrete masonry and form a monolithic structure. A steel structure shall be embedded on top of walls for anchoring concrete T-beams. A material to insulate and form a stem of said T-beams shall be put on platform surface, and then a metallic mesh for reinforcing said T-beams, and for setting pipes, lastly, concrete shall be poured over.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I. A construction system for constructing massively dwellings or of the like, that shall be at least in 5 days after preliminary work using rock masonry, comprising: 
 (a) preparing precast items, sills and headers for window, and sills and headers for doors using templates for,  
 (b) making wood molds, which can have any chosen shape and size, thereby accommodate any type of opening of a building,  
 (c) pouring into said wood molds concrete, and after said concrete hardening,  
 (d) reinforcing the precasts with two rebars, one said rebar shall be at least one and a half inches from the top of said precasts, and the other one at least one and a half inches from the bottom of thereof, so the reinforcement fulfills the function of beams, thereby said precasts shall resist shear and diagonal stresses, and in the intervening time,  
 (e) drilling holes to exterior and interior wall molds, the molds can be at least of panels of plywood, approximately of four by eight inches, and to said exterior wall molds shall be nailed wales to of about two by four, to be used numerous times in constructing numerous building units,  
 (f) preparing one of various foundations where trenches are dug using a color code of perimeter molds,  
 (g) filling said trenches with one layer of the rocks that are poured over concrete to form a slab floor which guarantees space for soil volume, and before concrete hardening  
 (h) embedding a structure of rebars and stirrups on the perimeter for setting pipes of at least plumbing, electrical lines, telephone lines, and television cable inside, thereby protecting them against rock masonry, and also for anchoring wall molds  
 (i) erecting exterior wall molds following a predetermined color and graphic code to dispose the wall molds into their correct position, and using shoring elements to straighten said wall molds into a perfect vertical position, on one side of the structure and on the other side is erected interior wall molds following said predetermined color and graphic code, and inserting ties of said exterior mold into said interior molds to tighten both together, thereby said structure is sandwiching said exterior and interior molds and ready for  
 (j) inserting the precast sill against and in between returns, on which is placed a window, and on which is placed the precast header,  
 (k) placing a door against and in between returns, on which is placed the precast header, thereby, holding all the foregoing items, and the walls are ready for,  
 (l) pouring into said walls concrete masonry, and before said concrete hardening,  
 (m)embedding a construction material on top of walls for anchoring concrete T-beams and firmly connect thereof to said walls,  
 (n) setting on top of platform of a roof a material for providing temperature insulation to roof and forming a stem of the T-beams, thereby, overriding the cost of forming stems of said T-beams, and  
 (o) placing a metallic mesh on top for reinforcing T-beams, and for setting pipes of at least plumbing, electrical lines, telephone lines, and television cable, and after reinforcement,  
 (p) pouring concrete over and finish the slab roof, leaving the supporting platform for a day, thereby is moved to the next construction site the following day to built a roof in one day,  
 (q) whereby, said wall form and said pipes are swiftly installed so costs are reduced in terms of paying hours work to the labor,  
 (r) whereby, said wall is not made of wood but relatively said concrete with said rocks or other material instead of said rocks costs are again reduced in terms of material cost.  
 
   
   
     II. The construction system of claim I wherein said using rock masonry, it is not constrained to said rocks since several other construction materials can be used instead of thereof, provided the material coheres well to concrete and thereof is a high percentage in volume of construction material used, thereby, possibilities are limitless, as ruble from a war zone or natural disasters, used tires, ginger bread, and numerous other materials can be used instead of said rock.  
   
   
     III. The precast items of claim I wherein said templates means for making said precast items' production automatic, thereby, as many as needed can be produced avoiding the precasts not being produced under specifications required, and the production done swiftly by unskilled labor.  
   
   
     IV. The wood molds of claim I wherein said opening of a building containing said opening selected from the group consisting of at least windows and doors, and panels of glass or any other materials.  
   
   
     V. The wood molds of claim I wherein said concrete shall have a compressive strength no less than 500 pounds per square inch.  
   
   
     VI. The concrete of claim V wherein said the compressive strength shall be tested for seven days.  
   
   
     VII. Pouring into said wood molds of claim I wherein said concrete shall be cured for at least twenty-eight days at a temperature above 50° F. without moving them, after pouring.  
   
   
     VIII. The reinforcing wherein said rebars form a structure with rod stirrups or hangers.  
   
   
     IX. The rebars of claim VIII wherein said rod stirrups mean stirrups of at least made of rods of one quarter inch less in diameter than said rebars, and in U-shape bents.
