Abstract

A structural arrangement for securing scaffolding to a building wall. The structural arrangement includes the building wall with a recess, a façade anchor secured to the building wall and having a receptacle for accommodating at least one securing element. The securing element engages in the receptacle in the façade anchor on the one hand and in the recess in the wall on the other hand. The façade anchor provides a supporting face facing the building wall. A compensating material is provided between the supporting face and the building wall in such a manner that the façade anchor makes contact over its supporting face with, and is supported by the building wall indirectly via, the compensating material.

Claims (29)

1. A method for at least temporarily attaching a scaffold to a building wall ( 2 ) comprising the steps of:

forming a recess ( 15 ) in the building wall ( 2 );

seating an expansion element in ( 14 ) the recess ( 15 );

applying an adhesive compensating material ( 36 ) on the building wall ( 2 ) in the region of the recess ( 15 ) and surrounding the recess ( 15 );

applying a support surface ( 9 ) of a façade anchor ( 1 ) against the compensating material ( 36 );

attaching the façade anchor ( 1 ) to the building wall ( 2 ) via a wall attaching means ( 42 ), wherein the wall attaching means ( 42 ) is introduced into a receptacle ( 8 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ) and into the expansion element ( 14 ),

introducing a scaffold attaching means ( 11 ) into the receptacle ( 8 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ), and

attaching the scaffold to the scaffold attaching means ( 11 ),

wherein an insulation material is applied to the surface of the building wall ( 2 ), wherein a thickness of the insulation material is chosen such that a free end portion ( 17 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ) facing away from the supporting surface ( 9 ) at least partially protrudes from the insulation material

wherein, after the provision of the insulation material, a mineral outer layer ( 31 ) is applied on the insulation material, and that the mineral outer layer ( 31 ) is also applied to the free end portion ( 17 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 )

further comprising dismantling of the scaffold, wherein the scaffold attaching means ( 11 ) is removed from the receptacle ( 8 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ) and the façade anchor ( 1 ) is made flush with the mineral outer layer ( 31 ) by trimming in the area of the free end portion ( 17 )

wherein a closure body ( 32 ) is inserted into the receptacle of the façade anchor ( 1 ), wherein the closure body ( 32 ) projects with an edge on the outside of the mineral outer layer ( 31 ).

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the adhesive compensating material ( 36 ) is formed from a curable material.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scaffolding attaching means ( 11 ) is in the form of an eyebolt, and wherein the scaffolding is attachable in an eyelet ( 12 ) of the eyebolt.

4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the façade anchor ( 1 ) is made of at least two different materials.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compensating material ( 36 ) is formed from a pressure-stable material.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compensating material ( 36 ) is provided by the mixing of two material components.

7. A method for at least temporarily attaching a scaffold to a building wall ( 2 ) comprising the steps of:

forming a recess ( 15 ) in the building wall ( 2 );

seating an expansion element in ( 14 ) the recess ( 15 );

applying an adhesive compensating material ( 36 ) on the building wall ( 2 ) in the region of the recess ( 15 ) and surrounding the recess ( 15 );

applying a support surface ( 9 ) of a façade anchor ( 1 ) against the compensating material ( 36 );

attaching the façade anchor ( 1 ) to the building wall ( 2 ) via a wall attaching means ( 42 ), wherein the wall attaching means ( 42 ) is introduced into a receptacle ( 8 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ) and into the expansion element ( 14 );

introducing a scaffold attaching means ( 11 ) into the receptacle ( 8 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ); and

attaching the scaffold to the scaffold attaching means ( 11 ),

wherein an insulation material is applied to the surface of the building wall ( 2 ), wherein a thickness of the insulation material is chosen such that a free end portion ( 17 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ) facing away from the supporting surface ( 9 ) at least partially protrudes from the insulation material,

wherein, after the provision of the insulation material, a mineral outer layer ( 31 ) is applied on the insulation material, and that the mineral outer layer ( 31 ) is also applied to the free end portion ( 17 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ),

further comprising dismantling of the scaffold, wherein the scaffold attaching means ( 11 ) is removed from the receptacle ( 8 ) of the façade anchor ( 1 ) and the façade anchor ( 1 ) is made flush with the mineral outer layer ( 31 ) by trimming in the area of the free end portion ( 17 ), and

wherein a closure body ( 32 ) is inserted into the receptacle of the façade anchor ( 1 ), wherein the closure body ( 32 ) projects with an edge on the outside of the mineral outer layer ( 31 ).
