Abstract:
Carcassing fabric system for the construction of buildings in particular of single-family home dwelling houses comprising:a base assembly having a plurality of modular concrete tying elements forming a base perimeter for a plurality of outside walls of a house, said base assembly intended to be anchored into a foundation by a plurality of reinforced concrete piles and connected to each other by a plurality of horizontal clamping reinforcements,a bearing structure having a plurality of metal poles mounted onto the tying elements and fastened onto a top end of a plurality of metal crooks mounted within said tying elements,an inwards open continuous accommodation space (L) extending over the whole length of the tying elements (3, 103, 203) for receiving the horizontal clamping reinforcements (18, 19) thereby forming an uniterrupted chain over the whole base perimeter (2),each of the metal crooks comprises an upper end and an opposite lower bent end, each of the crooks (15) depend at their upper ends (15a) from a bracket (14, 114, 214) which projects inwards; from the tying elements such that the lower opposite bent end is located within the continuous accommodation space, anda plurality of anchoring reinforcements (12) of the concrete piles extend substantially vertically from the foundations (F), the anchoring reinforcements are bent while extending through the tying elements in order to extend substantially horizontally into the continuous accommodation space, preferably above the bent ends of the crooks,wherein each of the crooks, of the horizontal clamping reinforcements and of the reinforcements of the anchoring piles, are to be embedded into a concrete slab (17) cast on site into the continuous accommodation space in order to ensure there exists a close linked connection therebetween and to permit a transmission of forces exerted upon the house at the foundations, thereby making the system paraseismic.
