Description
- This application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/260,694, filed Jan. 9, 2001.
- The present invention relates generally to foundational supports for supporting a structure.
- A structure, such as a house, cabin, shed, and the like, is typically built on a foundation that is set in the ground. Building foundations generally require excavating the site and pouring concrete into forms that are laid out in a design that provides support to the building.
- Constructing a foundation on level land is a fairly straightforward task. However, when building on critical slopes, issues arise with exposure of the soil to elements such as wind, rain, or snow that cause erosion or slide problems. Conventional foundations on critical slope properties usually require extensive soil stabilization techniques. These techniques include cast-in-place piles, auger-cast piles, pin piles, and the like, that are set in the ground during the construction of the foundation. These soil stabilization techniques may considerably increase the construction cost, potentially making the costs prohibitive.
- In other circumstances, it may be desired to build a structure, such as a dock or boathouse, near the shore of a lake or the bank of a river. The lake shore or river bank may or may not be a critical slope. However, due to environmental concerns, penetration of the water or land near the water to construct the foundation for the structure may not be desirable or even possible under government building permits.
- The present invention provides a structural support that solves the foregoing problems and other shortcomings in the prior art.
- The present invention is directed to a cantilevered structural support for structures such as houses, cabins, boat houses, docks, piers, and the like, to be built on critical slope properties and/or over or near sensitive land or water. The structural support of the present invention is cantilevered in manner that permits a significant percentage (e.g., 40% or more) of the structure to be supported outward from the critical slope or over the sensitive land or water. The present invention provides a less expensive alternative to conventional building foundations that require extensive soil stabilization techniques. It is also useful for construction or replacement of docks or piers where penetration of the water is not desirable. Other suitable applications for the present invention include, for example, supporting a structure over water such as a cabin or boat house.
- The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will become more readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- FIG. 1 illustrates a pair of cantilevered structural supports constructed in accordance with the present invention and shown in an environment supporting a freestanding structure;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a cantilevered structural support constructed in accordance with the present invention wherein a support member is attached to a counterbalance by way of securing plates and anchor bolts that extend into the counterbalance;
- FIG. 3 is a front elevation view of the cantilevered structural support shown in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the cantilevered structural support shown in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 5 is top plan view of the cantilevered structural support shown in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 6 is a front elevation view of another cantilevered structural support constructed in accordance with the present invention wherein a support member is attached to a counterbalance by way of a plate and welded head studs (Nelson studs) embedded in the counterbalance;
- FIG. 7 is a side elevation view of the cantilevered structural support shown in FIG. 6; and
- FIG. 8 is a top plan view of the cantilevered structural support shown in FIG. 6.
- A cantilevered structural support constructed according to the present invention includes a counterbalance and an elongate support member attached thereto for supporting the load of a freestanding structure. FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a cantilevered
structural support 10 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a pair ofcantilevered support members counterbalance 16 to support afreestanding structure 18, such as a house, dock, or other type of structure. As described in more detail below, thesupport members counterbalance 16 by way ofanchor bolts 20 that extend into thecounterbalance 16.Steel plates 22 are connected to theanchor bolts 20 and extend over the top of thesupport members support members counterbalance 16. - While a preferred embodiment of the invention described herein includes a concrete block as a counterbalance and a steel I-beam attached thereto as a support member, persons of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that other types of material may be used for the counterbalance and/or support member. Furthermore, while FIG. 1 illustrates the use of a single counterbalance with two support members, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that other embodiments of the invention may use any number of support members or counterbalances. For example, a separate counterbalance may be provided for each of the
support members - Each of the
support members portion 24 that is attached to thecounterbalance 16 and acantilevered portion 26 that extends outward from the counterbalance. The length of the cantileveredportion 26 may vary in accordance with the dimension of thestructure 18 that the cantileveredstructural support 10 is designed to hold, the magnitude of the load of thestructure 18, and the size and material of which thesupport members counterbalance 16 are constructed. The present invention departs from the prior art in that the cantileveredstructural support 10 is designed to support afreestanding structure 18 in which a significant portion of thestructure 18 is supported by thecantilevered portion 26. In particular, the perimeter of thestructure 18 defines a footprint having an area that is supported by thesupport members cantilevered portion 26 of thesupport members structure 18. - FIG. 2 illustrates a cantilevered
structural support 30 having asupport member 32 attached to acounterbalance 34 in a manner as shown in FIG. 1. In a preferred embodiment, thecounterbalance 34 is a concrete block poured in place, and either stands alone or is supported by piles, e.g., cast-in-place piles, set in the ground. The shape, volume, and weight of thecounterbalance 34 is adjusted in accordance with the load that the cantileveredstructural support 30 is designed to support and the nature of the ground (soil type, slope, etc) in which thestructural support 30 is set. - The
counterbalance 34 may alternatively be formed of other material and by other methods, such as a precast concrete block of sufficient weight to counterbalance the load carried by thesupport member 32. The precast concrete block is lifted and set in place at the construction site. If the attachment of thesupport member 32 to thecounterbalance 34 requires bolts or rods that are embedded in the counterbalance, as shown in FIG. 2, the bolts or rods are preferably embedded in thecounterbalance 34 when the counterbalance is formed. - Further exemplary embodiments of the
counterbalance 34 may include a slab formed of material, such as steel, or a combination of material, such as concrete and steel, having sufficient weight to counterbalance the load carried by thesupport member 32. Thecounterbalance 34 may also comprise a natural rock formation of sufficient weight and structural integrity to hold asupport member 32 and counterbalance the load that the cantileveredstructural support 30 is designed to carry. - In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the
support member 32 is a steel I-beam of the form shown in FIG. 2. Other support members suitable for use with the present invention include, for example, wood beams, laminated wood beams, precast/prestressed or post-tensioned concrete beams, composite steel and concrete beams, fiberglass beams, steel or combination wood/steel trusses, or any combination of the above. - In FIG. 2, the
support member 32 is attached to thecounterbalance 34 by way ofanchor bolts 36 that are secured to one or moreoverhead plates 38. FIGS. 3-5 provide additional views of the cantileveredstructural support 30 shown in FIG. 2. In embodiments where thecounterbalance 34 is formed of poured concrete, theanchor bolts 36 are preferably embedded in the concrete when it is poured. Theanchor bolts 36 extend upwards from thecounterbalance 34, with one or more anchor bolts preferably located on each side of thesupport member 32. To attach thesupport member 32 to thecounterbalance 34, thesupport member 32 is placed on thecounterbalance 34 between theanchor bolts 36.Plates 38, preferably formed of steel with precut holes, are placed over the top of thesupport member 32, with theanchor bolts 36 extending through the holes in the plates. The anchor bolts are preferably threaded, with nuts having corresponding threads and washers being used to secure theplates 38 to theanchor bolts 36, thus securing thesupport member 32 to thecounterbalance 34. In other embodiments of the invention, theanchor bolts 36 may be welded or otherwise securably attached to thesteel plates 38 and/or thesupport member 32 to secure thesupport member 32 to thecounterbalance 34. - To resist lateral stresses on the
support member 32, theplates 38 are preferably welded or otherwise bonded to thesupport member 32. For example, where a steel plate and steel I-beam are used, continuous welding or tack welding may be used. The diameter and length of theanchor bolts 36, and the thickness of theplates 38, depend on the load that the cantileveredstructural support 30 is designed to hold. - FIG. 3 provides a front elevation view of the cantilevered
structural support 10 shown in FIG. 2, while FIG. 4 provides a side elevation view. FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the cantilevered structural support shown 10 in FIG. 2. FIGS. 3-5 further illustrate the anchor bolts and plates used to secure thesupport member 32 to thecounterbalance 34 in this embodiment of the invention. - Another exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 6-8 in which a cantilevered
structural support 50 has asupport member 52 and acounterbalance 54. Thesupport member 52 is attached to thecounterbalance 54 by way of welded head studs (Nelson studs) 56 and aplate 58 embedded in thecounterbalance 54. The embeddedplate 58 andhead studs 56 are preferably set in thecounterbalance 54 when the counterbalance is formed. Thesupport member 52 is attached to the embeddedplate 58 by way of a secure bonding, such as a continuous weld, along the edges 60 of thesupport member 52 that contact theplate 58. FIG. 6 is a front elevation view of this embodiment of the invention, while FIGS. 7 and 8 provide a side elevation view and top plan view of the same. - In other embodiments of the invention, the support member may be attached to the counterbalance by way of bolts, epoxy, or expansion anchors. In applications where the support member and counterbalance are both formed of concrete, the support member may be attached to the counterbalance by way of reinforcing steel dowels, inserts, rebar with mechanical couplers, epoxy grouting of rebar into the concrete, or tiebacks.
- Depending on the conditions of the soil where the counterbalance is set, the counterbalance may sit in the earth without further anchor. Other soil conditions may require further anchoring of the counterbalance to the earth. In these circumstances, known piling methods may be used, such as steel pilings, precast concrete pilings, auger-cast pilings, cast-in-place pilings, drilled pier, tiebacks, pin piles, and helical pier pilings. Dywidags may also be used to anchor the counterbalance in place.
- The present invention is not limited by the shape or type of structure that the cantilevered structural support is designed to hold. FIG. 1 illustrates in dotted line a
freestanding structure 18 having a rectangular shape resting on top of thesupport members support members structure 18 may be occupied by persons or objects, or it may be a structure, such as a dock, that is designed with a surface on which people can walk. In a dock application, the cantileveredportions 26 of thesupport members structure 18 may further be configured as a boathouse that permits a boat to park between thesupport members - While preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that various changes can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention, therefore, should be determined from the following claims and equivalents thereto.
