Method for assembling building elements and building thus produced

Abstract

The method for assembling a set of construction elements ( 1 ) comprises at least the following steps: a) assembling two complementary external faces of two construction elements ( 1 ) by adhesion, b) continuing the assembly carried out in step a) by adhering other faces of the elements ( 1 ) to complementary external faces of other construction elements ( 1 ) until a predefined portion of a building or engineered structure is obtained, c) adhering sheets ( 15, 16 ), so-called cladding sheets, made of a wood-based material to at least a portion of the coplanar faces of the elements ( 1 ) assembled in the preceding steps, d) repeating steps a) to c) until the part is obtained. The invention also relates to a building made with at least three elements assembled according to the method of the invention.

1 . A method for assembling a set of construction elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ), the outer walls ( 3  to  8 ) of each element ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) defining a receiving volume of a main body ( 2 ) having the shape of a polyhedron with at least two parallel faces ( 9  to  14 ) and occupying the entirety of the receiving volume, with the main body ( 2 ) being made of a rigid insulating material formed by expanded polystyrene or EPS having a density of at least 10 kg/m 3 , with each of the faces ( 9  to  14 ) of the main body ( 2 ) being completely covered by at least one sheet ( 3  to  8 ,  15 ,  16 ;  20 ;  25  to  28 B) made of a wood-based material, and with each sheet ( 3  to  8 ) being adhered to the face ( 9  to  14 ) of the main body ( 2 ) receiving it, characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps:
 a) assembling two complementary external faces ( 3  to  8 ) of two construction elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) by adhesion, 
 b) continuing the assembly carried out in step a) by adhering other faces ( 3  to  8 ) of the elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) to complementary external faces ( 3  to  8 ) of other construction elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) until a predefined portion (P; M, S, D, O, T) of a building or engineered structure is obtained, 
 c) adhering sheets ( 15 ,  16 ;  20 ;  25  to  28 B), so-called cladding sheets, made of a wood-based material to at least a portion of the coplanar faces ( 3  to  8 ;  17 ,  18 ;  19 ) of the elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) assembled in the preceding steps, 
 d) repeating steps a) to c) until the predefined portion (P, M, S, D, O, T) of the building or engineered structure is obtained. 
 
     
     
         2 . The method as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized in that, after step d), in an additional step e), a sheet ( 21 ) of a protective and/or decorative coating is adhered to at least one of the faces ( 20 ) of the portion (M) of the building or engineered structure produced. 
     
     
         3 . The method as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized in that, in step c), the cladding sheets ( 15 ,  16 ;  20 ;  25  to  28 B) are adhered to the coplanar faces ( 3  to  8 ;  17 ,  18 ;  19 ) of the assembled elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) such that the connecting joints between two assembled elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) are never aligned with the connecting joints of two abutting cladding sheets ( 15 ,  16 ;  20 ;  25  to  28 ). 
     
     
         4 . The method as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized in that each wood-based sheet ( 3  to  8 ,  15 ,  16 ;  20 ;  25  to  28 B) is a sheet having a thickness of at least 5 mm and made of strips of wood called Oriented Strand Board (OSB) or plywood. 
     
     
         5 . The method as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized in that at least one gutter ( 23 ,  24 ) is formed in the main body of at least one element ( 100 ), the gutter defining a passage for conduits and technical ducts. 
     
     
         6 . A building or engineered structure, at least a portion (P; M; S; D; O; T) of which is made with at least three construction elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) assembled according to the inventive method of assembly, characterized in that the elements ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ) are assembled so as to define a honeycomb structure with solid cells ( 1 ;  100 ;  200 ;  300 ;  400 ), the outer walls of the honeycomb structure being defined by the cladding sheets ( 15 ,  16 ;  20 ;  25  to  28 B).
