Cellulose construction system

Abstract

The invention is directed to a system for constructing a building that includes a plurality of components formed substantially of cellulose and configured to be arranged together to form the walls, roof, and floor of the building. Further, reinforcements are molded into the plurality of components and a plurality of joint structures arranged along at least one of edge of at least two of the plurality to components, the joint structures configured to connect the plurality of components together.

1 . A system for constructing a building comprising:
 a plurality of components formed substantially of cellulose and configured to be arranged together to form the walls, roof, and floor of the building;   reinforcements molded into the plurality of components; and   a plurality of joint structures arranged along at least one of edge of at least two of the plurality to components, the joint structures configured to connect the plurality of components together.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the cellulose comprises molded cellulose cement. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the reinforcements comprise at least one of metal rods and reinforcing mesh. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the cellulose comprises molded recycled cellulose waste materials. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising an insulation system comprising expanded polystyrene foam. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising joint compression strips along the joint structures. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of components comprise at least one of a column, beam, roof, wall and a floor panel. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of components comprises post tensioning metal rods increase strength. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the cellulose comprises at least one of hard wood, soft wood, and bamboo. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of components further comprise at least one of rapid setting accelerant including a hardener, permanent coloring agent, water proofing and vapor barrier agent, flame retardant agent, and fire proofing agent. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  wherein expanded polystyrene foam insulation comprises recycled expanded polystyrene foam. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the reinforcements comprise a reinforcing mesh that comprises Kevlar reinforcing. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a liquid emulsion poured into a joint between the plurality of components during construction.
