This.- invention:relates-.tol a -Lwalllslab 'andi more j particularly to a wall slabffformedloiwcon'cretiousl-.materiafl .and specially adapted for use in the erection of buildings.

An object of the invention is to provide a wall slab, of such shape that a -plurality of the slabs may be readily assembled into a complete wallwith waterproof joints between vthe slabs, each slab having a vertical marginal rib at,r each margin and a vertical intermediate 'rib between the marginal ribs, said ribs extending inwardlyk and forming means for the attachment of the inside lathing, or other inside wall support therey to, thus providing, in eiect, a hollow wall structure. f

Figure l shows a fragmentary Vertical se'cf tional view of a building structure, showing one of the wall slabs in section, and

Figure 2 shows a cross sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of -Figure l.

Referring now more particularly to the drawing whereinlike numerals of reference designate the same parts in each of the figures, the numeral l designates a Wall slab as a whole which is approximately rectangular in elevational view. Each slab .has a vertical groove 2 in one margin and a vertical rib 3 on its other margin, the rib or one slab being positioned to fit into the groove of the adjacent -slab as more clearly shown in Figure 2. The grooves 2 may v be lled with a plastic of corking material, as 4,

during the progress of the work to form water tight joints between the slabs.

Each slab has the inside vertical marginal ribs or flangesas 5, 5. 'I'hese flanges taper slightly inwardly and extend from top to bottom of the slab. The marginal anges on each slab t closely against the opposing marginal anges of adjacent slabs as also shown in Figure 2. One of the cornerv slabs has its vertical marginal rib 5a thickened as shown in Figure 2 so that it will be of approximately the same thickness It is another Yobject of the'- invention to pro--v -as the width of' the abutting ange 61 of# the-adjacent Vsla-b and the inner face of this thickened flange is` provided with the groove 4 tov receive `theK adjacent-ribv 3l of the aol-jacent slab.

Each slab has also an intermediate vertical 5 rib, orl flange, l arranged approximately midway between the marginal flanges and between the marginal anges 5, 6 and the intermediate flange of each slab are the transverse webs 8, whose inner margins are arcuate as shown. Theupper 10 and lower ends of the slabs are inwardly thickened forming the transverse upper and lower end ribs 9.'v It is to be noted that the side rib 3, the marginal and intermediate'flanges 5, 5, 1,

the transverse webs 8 and the upper and lower 16 transverse ribs S, I0, are formed integrally with -the corresponding slab, thus forming a single unit. The flanges 5, 6, 1 of the respective slabs extend inwardly the same distance, so that the innermargins of the flanges of a'wall will lie 20 in a common plane and these ilanges form means for the attachment of wall lathing -thereto to receive a plastered inside wall or any other selected type of inside wall may be secured thereto. 25

t The numeral ll` designatesl a foundation into which thelowe-r ends of the wall slabs may be counter-sunk as clearly shown in Figure l. As a` preferred form of securing the wall slabs to the foundation, an inside angle angle iron as l2 30 may be provided, extending all the way around the structure and being countersunk into the foundation and into the transverse ribs I0.

bedded in the foundation I l and extend upwardly 40 through the horizontal leg I8 of said angleiron Withtheir upper en ds threaded to receive the securing nuts i9, whereby the lower ends of the slabs will be secured to the foundation.

Across the upper margins of the wall slab is 45 an angle iron 2U whose upper horizontal leg 2| overlies the upper ends of the slabs and whose Vertical leg 22 ts against the inner margins of the transverse-ribs 9, said angle iron being countersunk into the material of said rib 9. 50

Anchor bolts 23 may be `embedded in the material of the ribs 9 with their outer ends extending through vertical slots 24 of the leg 22 and being threaded to receive the nuts 25 thereon.

The framework 26 above may be supported on 55 general contour having a plane outer surface,

inwardly extending marginal side anges and an inwardly extending intermediate flange par'- allel with said marginal flanges, a rib on the outer face of one of said marginal flanges and a groove on the outer face of the other of said marginal flanges, transverse webs between the marginal flanges and the intermediate flange, one of said marginal flanges being thicker than the other of said marginal flanges; a reinforcing angle iron counter sunk into the outer corner of said thicker flange adapted to receive a framework of a building, an anchor bolt em' bedded in the material of said flange and adapted to hold said angle iron in position.

2. A wall slab approximately rectangular in general contour having a plane outer surface, inwardly extending marginal side flanges and an inwardly extending intermediate flange parallel with said marginal anges, a rib on the outer face of one of said marginal flanges and a groove on thev outer face of the other of said marginal flanges, upper and lower transverse ribs between the marginal flanges and the intermediate anges, an intermediate transverse web between and parallel to the transverse ribs, the upper and lower of said transverse ribs being thicker than the web and the flanges and having removed portions adapted to receive legs of steel beams, boltsimbedcled in said transverse ribs and extending outwardly approximately perpendicular to the plane of the wall slab whereby said structural beams may be connected to the wall slab.
