Construction provided with façade panels and method for producing such a construction

Abstract

A construction includes a supporting structure made from concrete reinforced by metal rods. The supporting structure has at least two levels, each level having a slab. A plurality of façade panels is fixed to the supporting structure to form at least a part of a façade of the construction. The plurality of façade panels has at least a top façade panel mounted above a bottom façade panel. Each façade panel is made from a mixture containing a curable material in which organic plant-derived elements are embedded. The mixture in the cured state has a density of less than 1000 kg/m 3 and a compressive strength comprised between 3 and 6 MPa. Each façade panel is mounted movable with respect to the supporting structure with a vertical functional clearance.

         9 . Construction comprising:
 a supporting structure made from concrete reinforced by metal rods, the supporting structure having at least a first level comprising a first slab and first posts and a second level comprising a second slab and second posts and a third slab;   a plurality of façade panels fixed to the supporting structure to form at least a part of a façade of the construction, the plurality of façade panels having at least one first façade panel mounted under at least one second façade panel;   wherein each façade panel is made from a mixture containing a curable material in which organic plant-derived elements are embedded, the mixture comprising at least 50% by volume of organic plant-derived elements, the curable material being a mortar and the organic plant-derived elements being wood particles, the mixture in the cured state having a density of less than 1000 kg/m 3  and a compressive strength comprised between 2 and 6 MPa;   wherein each façade panel is mounted supported by at least 75% of a length of a foot of the façade panel;   wherein the at least one first façade panel is mounted movable at least with respect to the second slab in a vertical direction with a vertical functional clearance to adjust a difference of thermal expansion between the supporting structure and the at least one first façade panel,   wherein the at least one second façade panel is mounted movable at least with respect to the third slab with a vertical functional clearance to adjust a difference of thermal expansion between the supporting structure and the at least one second façade panel; and   wherein the at least one second façade panel is supported solely by the second slab or the at least one second façade panel is supported solely by the at least one first façade pane.   
     
     
         10 . Construction according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one second façade panel is supported solely by the second slab and the at least one second façade panel is separated from the at least one first façade panel by a sealing part configured to perform waterproofing. 
     
     
         11 . Construction according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one second façade panel is supported solely by the at least one first façade panel and wherein the at least one first façade panel has a recess designed to receive one end of the second slab, the recess being located in a top part of the at least a first façade panel and being separated from the second slab by a resiliently deformable layer. 
     
     
         12 . Construction according to  claim 11 , wherein the recess extends over the whole length of the at least one first façade panel and wherein the length of the first slab is greater than the length of the at least one first façade panel. 
     
     
         13 . Construction according to  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of façade panels are fixed to the supporting structure by means of a plurality of connectors, wherein the façade panels of the plurality of façade panels are made from a mixture of wood elements and cement and/or lime, and wherein connectors are fixed directly in the façade panels of the plurality of façade panels by screw-fastening. 
     
     
         14 . Construction according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one second façade panel is fixed to the at least one first façade panel by an adhesive mortar. 
     
     
         15 . Method for producing a construction comprising the following successive steps:
 providing a first slab of a first level of a supporting structure made from concrete reinforced by metal rods;   placing a foot of at least one first façade panel on the first slab;   adjusting the plumbness of the first façade panel and fixing the first façade panel on the first slab by means of a plurality of connectors;   forming a second slab of a second level of the supporting structure above the first level, the second slab being made from concrete reinforced by metal rods, the second slab being mounted fixedly on the first slab by means of first posts, the at least one first façade panel being fixed to the second slab and mounted movable vertically with respect to the second slab;   placing a foot of at least one second façade panel on the top of the at least one first façade panel;   adjusting the plumbness of the second façade panel and fixing the second façade panel on the second slab by means of a plurality of connectors;   forming a third slab of a third level of the supporting structure above the second level, the third slab being made from concrete reinforced by metal rods, the third slab being mounted fixedly on the second slab by means of second posts, the at least one second façade panel being fixed to the third slab and mounted movable vertically with respect to the third slab,   method wherein each façade panel is made from a mixture containing a curable material in which organic plant-derived elements are embedded, the mixture in the cured state having a density of less than 1000 kg/m 3  and a compressive strength comprised between 2 and 6 Mpa, and   wherein each façade panel is mounted supported by at least 75% of the length of the foot of the façade panel.   
     
     
         16 . Method for producing a construction comprising the following successive steps:
 providing a supporting structure made from concrete reinforced by metal rods provided with at least a first slab and first posts of a first level and a second slab and second posts of a second level arranged above the first level, and a third slab of a third level arranged above the second level;   placing a foot of at least one first façade panel on the first slab;   adjusting the plumbness of the at least one first façade panel and fixing the at least one first façade panel on the first slab by means of a plurality of connectors;   placing a foot of at least one second façade panel on the second slab;   adjusting the plumbness of the at least one second façade panel and fixing the at least one second façade panel on the second slab by means of a plurality of connectors;   method wherein each façade panel is made from a mixture containing a curable material in which organic plant-derived elements are embedded, the mixture comprising at least 50% by volume of organic plant-derived elements, the curable material being a mortar, the organic plant-derived elements being wood particles, the mixture in the cured state having a density of less than 1000 kg/m 3  and a compressive strength comprised between 2 and 6 MPa,   wherein the at least one first façade panel is mounted movable at least with respect to the second slab in a vertical direction with a vertical functional clearance to adjust a difference of thermal expansion between the supporting structure and the at least one first façade panel,   wherein the at least one second façade panel is mounted movable at least with respect to the third slab with a vertical functional clearance to adjust a difference of thermal expansion between the supporting structure and the at least one second façade panel, and   wherein each façade panel is mounted supported by at least 75% of the length of the foot of the façade panel.
