Process for constructing dry-mounted walls
The novelty and the inventive step of this process for constructing walls start from the overpassing of the concept of self-supporting wall as a solid and compact structure. We create a "moving wall", a wall that"must" be able to move, so hindering earthquakes and major thrusts. We get this through the elimination of binders and locking joints, the positioning of the elements using the diamond configurations and the creation of grooves and pins which, when in place, never block the elements but, in case of thrusts, leave them free to move aligned with the axes of the wall, along a system of transversal planes created by the surrounding elements in diamond configuration, like cars on their rails, allowing the gravity to reposition each element at the center of the wedge created by the underlying elements at the end of the shakes.
