Wall elements, unit construction system and method

Abstract

A wall element comprises an inner surface, an outer surface, studs and at least one partial cavity and/or cavity. The studs are located between the inner surface and outer surface. The at least one partial cavity and/or cavity are also located between the inner surface and outer surface. The at least one partial cavity and/or cavity are designed to be filled with reinforced concrete The cavity and/or the partial cavity span from the top to the bottom and/or from side to side of the wall element.

1 . Wall element, comprising an inner surface, an outer surface, studs and at least one partial cavity and/or cavity, wherein the studs are located between the inner surface and outer surface, and wherein the at least one partial cavity and/or cavity are also located between the inner surface and outer surface, and wherein the at least one partial cavity and/or cavity are designed to be filled with reinforced concrete, and wherein the cavity and/or the partial cavity span from the top (T) to the bottom (B) and/or from side to side of the wall element. 
     
     
         2 . Wall element according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one partial cavity or cavity are at least partially set up by the inner surface and outer surface and at least one stud. 
     
     
         3 . Wall element according to  claim 1 , wherein the partial cavity is located along an edge area of the wall element, and wherein the partial cavity is designed to be combined with a corresponding partial cavity of a wall element or sealed by a wall element that is to be installed subsequently. 
     
     
         4 . Wall element according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one of an insulation, anchoring points for attachments, MEP installations. 
     
     
         5 . A unit construction system comprising a first and a second wall element according to  claim 1  which further support a slab element. 
     
     
         6 . Unit construction system according to  claim 5 , wherein all elements are in fluidic communication. 
     
     
         7 . Unit construction system according to  claim 5  further comprising a third wall element installed subsequently to the first or second wall element, wherein at least one partial cavity in the edge area of the first and/or second wall element is forming a cavity together with the third wall element, and wherein the cavity/cavities is/are designed to be filled with reinforced concrete. 
     
     
         8 . Unit construction system according to  claim 5 , wherein the slab element is positioned to lay on top of an inner edge of the wall element(s). 
     
     
         9 . Unit construction system according to  claim 5 , wherein a formwork for the slab element is connected to the wall elements. 
     
     
         10 . Unit construction system according to  claim 5 , further comprising a guide, designed to position the wall element. 
     
     
         11 . Method for installing a unit construction system comprising the steps:
 Installing wall elements;   Positioning slab elements;   Pouring concrete such that the concrete is filling up the cavities in the wall elements.   
     
     
         12 . Method according to  claim 11 , wherein the step of positioning the slab elements comprises a positioning of the slab elements to be in fluidic communication with the wall elements. 
     
     
         13 . Method according to  claim 11 , wherein the step of installing the wall elements comprises alignment of partial cavities in the respective wall elements to form a cavity. 
     
     
         14 . Method according to  claim 11 , wherein reinforcement is inserted into at least one cavity. 
     
     
         15 . Method according to  claim 11 , wherein the step of placing the slab element comprises laying the slab element on top of an inner edge of the wall element(s). 
     
     
         16 . Method according to  claim 11 , wherein the step of placing the slab element comprises placing a formwork for the slab element that is connected to the wall elements. 
     
     
         17 . Method according to  claim 11 , further comprising the step of placing a guide prior to the step of installing the wall elements and the step of installing the wall elements comprises installing the wall elements by means of the guide.
