Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to a construction-unit as a solution to the problem of resettlement of displaced or poor populations. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    One of the most pressing worldwide problems, with regards to construction, is the widespread shortage of family housing in poor countries. 
         [0003]    Natural disasters have repeatedly contributed to declining conditions for many already poor populations. Development of a housing construction method that is fast, efficient and appropriate is, therefore, of great importance. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    With the previously described background in mind, it is a huge advantage that the homes being built for house disaster victims are well insulated and cost-efficient as regards the used materials. Designing these dwellings to withstand future natural disasters is critical. 
         [0005]    The simplicity of the light-weight constructing method involves the recipients and demands only very simple instructions. 
         [0006]    The production process can take place locally in order to involve local entrepreneurs and help local economic growth. 
         [0007]    The proposed solution can have particular relevance in cold and inaccessible territories and can also be very suitable for use in areas threatened by earthquakes or in those areas where wood and steel are in short supply. 
         [0008]    The present invention relates to a construction-unit that is adapted for being combined with one more similar unit to constitute a self-carrying structure to use for shelter or dwelling wherein each construction-unit make up for both one sidewall and half a roof in one segment. 
         [0009]    The units may be shaped as half an arch and can be joined with a similar unit to make a whole self-carrying shelter. 
         [0010]    The shelter can, in an emergency situation, be used as a temporary or transitional insulating shelter. 
         [0011]    Due to its light weight the shelter can easily be transported to another location to be placed on a plinth to be used as the primary part of the building envelope of a permanent house. 
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0012]    The unique aims for the invention are to avoid transitional waste and to avoid future slum. 
         [0013]    Too many shelter solutions consist of emergency tents or transitional housing materials that turn into waste after a relatively short life. The invention is both economically and environmentally attractive as they can be reused for permanent dwellings. 
         [0014]    The concept inspires housing construction method away from the typical corrugated iron-sheeted roof-structures that architecturally defines slum. By integrating local materials such as clay or lime-stone, it is possible to plaster the shelter until it has a more permanent solid structure. 
         [0015]    The present invention relates to a construction-unit that is adapted for being combined with one more similar unit to constitute a self-carrying structure to use for shelter or dwelling wherein each construction-unit make up for both one sidewall and half a roof in one segment and where the weight is less than 75 kg. The self-carrying structure can be obtained by placing the two similar units rotated 180 degrees relative to each other in a horizontal plane and making them face each other at their top. This means that when two construction-units are joined they can transfer static and dynamic loads to the base. A limited weight makes it easy to handle without machinery. 
         [0016]    In an embodiment of the invention the weight is less than 60 kg. 
         [0017]    In an embodiment of the invention the weight is less than 50 kg. 
         [0018]    In an embodiment of the invention the weight is less than 25 kg. 
         [0019]    In an embodiment of the invention the weight is less than 20 kg. 
         [0020]    In an embodiment of the invention the weight is less than 15 kg. 
         [0021]    In an embodiment of the invention at least 30% of the volume consists of polymer. The use of polymer can in an expanded version secure a low weight in relation to the volume which is an advantage when handling the construction-units. Expanded polymer also secure a high insulating effect in order to hold obtain a warm indoor climate when used for housing. Polymer can in a harder version give a high strength. 
         [0022]    In an embodiment of the invention where at least 40% of the volume consists of polymer. 
         [0023]    In an embodiment of the invention where at least 60% of the volume consists of polymer. 
         [0024]    In an embodiment of the invention where at least 80% of the volume consists of polymer. 
         [0025]    In an embodiment of the invention where at least 90% of the volume consists of polymer. 
         [0026]    In an embodiment of the invention the main constituent is a material-composition based on polymers such as polyurethane or polystyrene. The fabrication of construction-units of polyurethane is basically a process of mixing the two-part composite and filling the mixed liquid into a separable mold right after mixing it. This solution demands certain procedures of production that relates to security of handling Polyurethane. It is important to make the mold able to stand up to the forces within the expanding polyurethane. In an embodiment of the invention the material-composition may include or be based on other organic or synthetic materials. 
         [0027]    In an embodiment of the invention the main constituent is a cement-based material-composition such as polystyrene concrete or aerated concrete. This combination can make the unit insulating towards cold, heat or sound. The combination of materials can contribute to making the unit light in weight and thereby possibly manageable with only manpower and without machinery. If using expanded polystyrene with cement a buoyancy-restricting additive is added to the polystyrene to prevent it from seeking towards the top in the unhardened mixture. The material-composition may include clay, mud, dirt, limestone, chalk or ash combined with other organic or synthetic materials. In an embodiment of the invention there are multiple horizontal holes in the longitudinal direction of the construction-unit for ventilate it to avoid problems caused by moisture. 
         [0028]    In an embodiment of the invention the thickness of the construction-unit may be between 10 mm and 600 mm.

         [0033]    In an embodiment of the invention the construction-unit is adapted for being assembled with a similar construction-unit in a direction perpendicular to the span of the self-carrying structure in a horizontal plane by having tongue or groove or by using an assembling-unit that fits into holes, grooves or dents in the side of the construction-units that has contact after being assembled. 
         [0034]    In an embodiment of the invention the construction-unit is adapted for being assembled and tightened together with multiple similar construction-units by leading tension-bars through precast horizontal holes in the construction-units. When a desired number of units have been assembled the units can be tautened by making threads at the end of the previously described tension-bars and fasten with nuts and washers. 
         [0035]    In an aspect of the invention the static functional shaping of the construction-unit when in use is related to a curved design in the direction where two construction-units form a span when they are combined to constitute a self-carrying structure and in relation to that direction form a linear design in the perpendicular direction in a horizontal plane when placed as a part of an assembled shelter. 
         [0036]    In an aspect of the invention the upright position of the construction-unit is obtained when in use by connecting it with a similar construction-unit at their top by letting a groove in the top of the construction-units enclose a pole, a pipe or a band or by fitting into a profile-beam. 
         [0037]    In an aspect of the invention the horizontal static forces at the lowest part of the construction-unit in the direction where two construction-units form a span when they are combined to constitute a self-carrying structure can be adapted by a frame or a band that is both able to fix the lowest part of the construction-unit and is also able to be fixed on to a foundation, plinth or a wall. Alternatively the construction-units can be placed and possibly there is made a tongue on the top of the plinth to fit into a groove in the bottom of the construction-units. Another way to absorb horizontal forces is to connect supports in the traverse direction by for either bars, wires, rafters or poles. 
         [0038]    In an aspect of the invention the horizontal static forces, at the top of the construction-unit in the direction of the span of the self-carrying, can be adapted by connecting the two similar construction-units with a rope or a steel wire that is twisted around a tension-bar running through holes in the construction-units. 
         [0039]    In an aspect of the invention the horizontal static forces, at the top of the construction-unit in the direction of the span of the self-carrying, can be adapted by connecting the two similar construction-units with a plate consisting of metal or polymer placed right under a top-tube and provided with holes that secure passage of the tension-bar running through holes in the construction-units.

The construction-unit can be designed as an optimal compression-arch that minimizes inner bending moments from evenly distributed static or dynamic loads. A version of the construction-unit refers to the shape of a hanging chain rotated 180 degrees in a vertical plane. The unit can have a varying curvature with a decreasing radius in the vertical plane towards its top.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0119]      FIG. 1  illustrates a three-dimensional view of the assembled construction  40  in a possible version consisting of sixteen construction-units  23  in order to indicate the longitudinal direction  1  and the traverse direction  2  of the assembled shelter-construction  40  placed as when in use. The construction-units  23  can make a construction in any desired length by adding more construction-units  23 . 
         [0120]      FIG. 2  illustrates a cross-section of a possible version of the invented construction-unit  23  in a vertical plane in the traverse direction  2  of the assembled construction. The cross-section reveals four following functional details:
       First function revealed on  FIG. 2  is the curved design that is similar to a hanging chain turned 180 degrees in a vertical plane. Mathematically this is a Hyperbolic Cosine. This Hyperbolic Cosine gives an ideal compression-arch in order to lead evenly distributed load to the supports with minimal or no bending moments.   Second function revealed on  FIG. 2  is a groove  3  in the top of the construction-unit  23 . This is meant for enfolding  11  a pole or a tube  10  placed in longitudinal direction  1  perpendicular to the cross-section. The enfolding  11  is possible when assembling the unit with a similar unit facing each other at the top. This is illustrated on  FIG. 10  and  FIG. 11 .   Third function revealed on  FIG. 2  is one or more horizontal holes  4  meant to tighten multiple construction-units  23  together in the longitudinal direction  1  by leading a steel-bar  17  through and fastened with thread, washer  19  and nut  18 . This is illustrated on  FIG. 16  and  FIG. 17 .   Fourth function revealed on  FIG. 2  is the groove  5  at the bottom of the construction-unit suitable for fitting onto a tongue on top of the plinth or foundation.
