Abstract
A wall-unit structural system has wall units (1) with insulating structural material (2) intermediate an exterior panel (3) for fixation of outside covering and an interior panel (4) for attachment of inside wall surfacing (5). Attachment ridges (6) are spaced apart on the interior panel to provide channels or vacancies between the attachment ridges for positioning of plumbing, electrical and other lines. Tie-down members (8) such as rebar are attached vertically to the wall units for securing the wall units to the footing (21) and for securing elevated tie-down structure (20) such as roofing and/or higher sections of wall units to secured wall units in accordance with applicable building regulations and design preferences. Bottoms (12) of the wall units have attachment members (15) for attachment to base elements such as floors (14), concrete pads, footers, metallic frame bases, wooden frame bases and other structural bases. Tops (13) of the wall units have horizontal receptacles such as an attachment trough (16) for containing such structural elements as trough concrete (17), horizontal rebar (18), joists, headers, frames, reinforcements and/or other top structure. Vertical edges of the wall units have attachment structure (24, 25, 26) for attachment to adjacent linear and corner wall units.
