CONCRETE WALL WITH FORMWORK SERVING ALSO AS REINFORCEMENT
Application 478/MUMNP/2003 published 2006-07-07, filed 2003-05-06
The invention concerns a wall made of concrete or the like produced from an unfolded formwork integrated in the wall and comprising two boxing panels (8, 8', 10) facing each other and connected by linking elements (1) articulated to the casing panels via stiffeners (2) integral with the casing panels. The space between said casing panels after they have been unfolded is filled with a filler material (7) such as concrete. At least one of the casing panels comprises an embedment made of concrete, mortar or the like, in added thickness relative to the stiffeners ( (2) and the articulated linking elements (1). Said embedment (11, 12) is arranged outside and/or inside the casing panel, the stiffeners ( (2) and the articulated linking elements (1) and the casing panel (8) when it is embedded form an inner reinforcement of the wall encased in the wall and covered by said embedment. The use of separate stiffeners, which must be inserted before casting concrete, is thus avoided or highly reduced. Drawing: 3Sheets Total Pages: 17 Fig. 1
