Abstract:
1. A method of constructing a well-insulated rigid monolithic concrete building using a plurality of T-beams with vertical stem portions and cross-sectional flange portions, said method comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of rebars in a vertical arrangement on a foundation; anchoring the rebars onto the foundation with anchoring elements to form a frame for the walls of the building; arranging forms in a vertical arrangement; embedding rigid foam insulation material in between the rebars; arranging a plurality of reinforcement bars at an angle from the plurality of rebars to form the frame for the roof of the building; connecting the plurality of rebars and the plurality of reinforcement bars with connecting elements; arranging forms in the bottom portion of the frame for the roof; pouring in a concrete mixture to fill voids around the plurality of rebars, forms, and the rigid foam insulation material thereby forming T-beams with vertical stem portions and cross-sectional flange portions to form the walls; and pouring in a concrete mixture to fill voids around the plurality of reinforcement bars and forms thereby forming T-beams with vertical stem portions and cross-sectional flange portions to form the roof.
