Abstract

Building construction uses strawbales in steel framing. The straw bales may be individually encased in a steel cage to form constructional units such as blocks or panels. Concrete foundations may be provided and the straw and steel bales may be incorporated into a steel superstructure. Rainwater panel and moisture barriers may be attached to the interior and exterior facades.

Description

DESCRI PTION

In the art wherein straw bale is used for construction purposes, it is generally the structural material itself or built with a wooden frame. Until this day constructing with straw bale is labour intensive and not viable for commercially orientated construction.

In the art wherein framing systems are manufactured from any steel including galvanised coil steel, it is generally to replace the traditional "twig and stick" single wooden frame that conforms to traditional styles of construction.

Residential, industrial and commercial buildings come in all shapes and sizes and have to conform to the relevant building code and regulations for construction purposes in the area in which they are to be built.

This makes ISBISS and building system ideal as it is manufactured off plan, a highly effective way to guarantee accuracy of the structure, and tailored to suit each individual project in compliance with all of the codes and regulations applicable.

The ISBISS and building system is partially assembled prior to installation which almost entirely eradicates the waste that is normal when constructing the super structure of a building. It is also rapid, easy to install and more importantly extremely cost effective.

The ISBISS and system is unique in many ways, it integrates steel which has an extremely high content of recycled material with an abundant natural and renewable material straw bale that in many parts of the world is considered an agricultural waste material creating a new environmentally friendly building material STEELBALE. It integrates all of the structural material required for the foundation and super structure, replacing the rebar and formwork of the foundations and at the same time creates a rainwater deflector and moisture barrier as well as enabling a faster post-poured reinforced concreting foundation system. By using only two materials in the entire foundation and insulated super structure it reduces time taken and therefore produces enormous cost saving benefits. There is no brick, stone, wood, cement, sand, water, nails or chemical spraying required and because steel has magnificent properties the structure is strong, durable, resilient to earthquakes, tornados and hurricanes, fire, twisting, warping or splitting, rusting or rotting, and because straw bale has very little nutritional value is generally termite, rodent and insect free.

On top of all of this when it is time to dismantle this structure in one hundred years time or more it is 100% recyclable with the materials probably being worth the entire initial cost of construction.

ISBISS and system is the only integral foundation and super structure environmentally friendly material on the market and if STEEBALE isn't the best material, it's close and if it's not the greenest it's near, yet overall when you factor in time, cost, materials, quality and its "GREEN" bias there's probably no better.

As each building is unique, assembly and installation can only be done whilst using plans that are specifically engineered and provided for each project. Therefore the following assumes that these plans are in hand. You will however in reading the following instructions and diagrams fully understand this system and its uniqueness.

FOUNDATIONS

Referring to the installation of the ISBISS INTEGRAL FOUNDATION SYSTEM FIS

PILLAR AND BEAM FOUNDATION SYSTEM

When engineering specifications require, a moisture barrier is placed on top of the reinforced foundation footings and installed in accordance with the manufacturers, recommendations.

The steel structural foundation pillars are placed into position on top of the reinforced concrete foundation footings as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 2 -3) The steel structural foundation beams are attached to the foundation pillars to form the pillar and beam foundation system as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 4-5-6) The steel structural rainwater panels/moisture barrier is attached to the interior and exterior facades of the pillars and beams as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 7) When engineering specifications require, rebar is placed within the pillar and beam foundation system.

STRIP FOUNDATION SYSTEM

The steel structural foundation beams are placed into position on top of the reinforced concrete foundation footings as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 4-5-6) The steel structural rainwater panels/moisture barrier is attached to the interior and exterior facades of the steel structural strip foundation beams as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 7) When engineering specifications require, rebar is placed within the strip foundation system. *... * S S ** S * *5S * S * 555 * S * *S. 5* *S * S * S S. * * S

THE INSULATED STEELBALE INTEGRAL SUPER STRUCTURE ISBISS

The steel structural floor truss girders are placed into position on top of the foundation beams and secured as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 8) The steel structural floor trusses and studs are then placed into position adjoining the floor truss girders and secured as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 8-9) The concrete is then poured inside the steel structural foundation pillars and beams, and or strip beam.

The steel structural wall panels are placed into position on top of the steel structural floor truss girders and secured as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 10-11-12-13-14) The steel structural horizontal exterior bracing studs are then attached to the external side of the wall panels and secured as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 11-14) Where applicable the standard and or STEELBALE internal wall panels are placed into position and secured inside the building as per engineering specifications.

The steel structural roof trusses and studs are placed into position on top of the wall panels and secured as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS PAGE 15-16) The steel structural ceiling panels are then placed into position between the roof trusses and secured as per engineering specifications. (DRAWINGS page 15-16) Please note: The steel structural horizontal internal bracing studs are attached and secured only after the straw bale has been placed in position which occurs after the roof has been boarded which happens immediately after the last steel structural roof member has been secured.

There is rio restriction to how these members are secured together except that whether they are screwed, and or bolted and or riveted, and or welded, and or clipped, and or any other type of method that they adhere to the engineering specifications and comply with the relevant building code and regulations. * * * *. * **** * * -. ** * * * I.. ** ** * * * * * ** *
