Abstract
Abstract System of housing and building construction by means of prefabricated components, which include vertical panels for forming partitions and exterior partition walls, as well as roof members, all based on reinforced concrete. The roof members consist of angle beams that follow the pitch of the roof. These members structurally join partition wall panels belonging to two parallel fronts, which panels are, in turn, braced by panels belonging to partitions. The partition wall panels are further joined to the foundation by means of reinforced wet joints. The roof members and panels also have metal elements opposite each other for connection.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A system of housing and building construction by means of prefabricated components, which includes a foundation, vertical panels for forming partitions, vertical wall front panels and roof members, all based on reinforced concrete, wherein the roof members consist of angle beams that follow the pitch of the roof said angle beams being provided at their ends with members forming parallel cross sections on whose opposite interior surfaces are attached vertical metal plates, said plates extending below said member such that when said angle beams are in position on top of said vertical wall front panels to join two parallel fronts said vertical metal plates extend below the top surface of said vertical wall front panels and are attached to opposite inner side walls thereof to act as lateral braces and support, said wall front panels being braced in turn by panels forming partitions, perpendicular to the parallel fronts, and provided with recesses therein for bearing on and being fastened to the foundation by means of wet joints reinforced and anchored in said foundation.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
173 words
A system of housing and building construction by means of prefabricated components, which includes a foundation, vertical panels for forming partitions, vertical wall front panels and roof members, all based on reinforced concrete, wherein the roof members consist of angle beams that follow the pitch of the roof said angle beams being provided at their ends with members forming parallel cross sections on whose opposite interior surfaces are attached vertical metal plates, said plates extending below said member such that when said angle beams are in position on top of said vertical wall front panels to join two parallel fronts said vertical metal plates extend below the top surface of said vertical wall front panels and are attached to opposite inner side walls thereof to act as lateral braces and support, said wall front panels being braced in turn by panels forming partitions, perpendicular to the parallel fronts, and provided with recesses therein for bearing on and being fastened to the foundation by means of wet joints reinforced and anchored in said foundation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A system according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of covering panels and wherein the angle beams forming the roof members each have on top, running from the longitudinal edges, recesses for receiving and supporting said covering panels.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
73 words
A system according to claim 1, wherein the vertical wall front panels have metal plates fastened on their upper interior edges, aligning with the vertical metal plates of the roof members, to which they are joined by welding, metal reinforcements projecting, furthermore, from the vertical edges of said front panels, which are inserted in wet joints formed between every two consecutive panels, including a vertical reinforcement to which the panel reinforcements are joined.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
78 words
A system according to claim 3, wherein the panels forming the partitions have complementary reinforcements that project from their vertical edges for anchoring to the wet joints uniting vertical wall front panels and for connection to the assembly of panels belonging to perpendicular partitions, said partition panels further being provided at the upper edge with metal end members situated at the corners, which are joined together in coplanar panels and with the vertical plates of the roof members.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
A system according to claim 4, characterized in that at least part of the panels forming the partitions have metal intermediate members on their upper edge, situated to coincide with points of contact with perpendicular partitions, for connection with the metal end member belonging to said perpendicular partition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
A system according to claim 5, characterized in that the union between partition forming panels bearing on each other perpendicularly is accomplished by means of union of the reinforcements of said panels, through openings made in each of said panels and subsequent concrete pouring and sealing of said openings.
