Definitions

  • This invention concerns building structures.
  • the invention provides a permanent building structure of adjustable dimensions.
  • Such a structure has application in various types of building. For example, it may be used in industrial buildings offering office or warehouse space. It may also be employed in buildings for commercial, domestic, horticultural, or leisure purposes.
  • a building structure in accordance with the invention comprises an outer shell of adjustable dimensions arranged to define a substantially enclosed space, a section at least of the outer shell having a rigid lower portion, a rigid upper portion movable relative to the lower portion between a lowered position in which the two portions overlap to a substantial extent and a raised position in which the two portions overlap to a lesser extent, and means for fixing the upper portion relative to the lower portion in the raised position at least.
  • the outer shell may have only one adjustable section constituting either the whole or simply a part of the shell. Alternatively, it may have a plurality of independently adjustable sections.
  • the lower and upper portions have structural beams, with the beams of one portion slideably engaging those of the other.
  • the beams of the upper portion are provided by portal frames and the beams of the lower portion constitute stanchions mounted in foundations.
  • the portal frames and the foundations are so arranged that jacks can be temporarily inserted between them for raising and lowering the upper portion of the outer shell.
  • the beams may conveniently be H-section in form and, in each engaged pair, the side of one may be held in slideable engagement with the side of the other by one or more guides.
  • the free end of at least one of the two beams may have one, or more than one, guide fixed to it which embraces the other beam in sliding or rolling engagement.
  • each guide has a U-shaped section and fits over respective edges of the two beams.
  • either or both of the upper and lower portions may also include wind bracing,together with some form of cladding.
  • FIGS. 1 to 10 show a building comprising an outer shell 10 which is adjustable as a whole to alter the dimensions of the building.
  • the shell 10 has a fixed, rigid lower portion 12, and a rigid upper portion 14 supported by the lower portion for movement between a lowered position and a raised position.
  • the lower portion 12 of the building comprises a plurality of rolled steel stanchions 16 embedded in concrete foundations 18 (see figures 6 and 7). Braces 20 are mounted between the stanchions 16 to provide stability, and a conventional form of cladding 22 is supported against the interior sides of the stanchions 16 for weatherproofing.
  • Openings 3 in the cladding 22 serve for doors and windows.
  • the stanchions 16 are H-shaped in section and arranged with one side 24 of the H supporting the cladding and with the other side 26 projecting outwardly beyond the cladding.
  • the sides 26 are maintained in slideable engagement with corresponding rolled steel beams 28 forming the limbs of a plurality of portal frames 30.
  • the beams 28 are H-shaped in section and they are arranged so that one side 32 of the H overlies the side 26 of the associated stanchion 16.
  • the other, exterior, side 34 and the outer edge of the overhead member 36 of the portal frame 30 carry a conventional form of cladding 38.
  • the upper portion 14 may have braces 40 permanently provided between the beams 28 to give it stability; or it may be devoid of such braces when lowered and only have them fixed in place when it is in the raised condition.
  • Openings 42 in the cladding 38 are supplied for windows and doors. These openings may be permanent or they may be covered over with cladding 38 and opened up according to the current needs of the occupier. In any event, however, when the upper portion 14 is in the lowered condition, suitably sited openings 42 are provided to coincide with the access openings to the lower portion 12.
  • At least one pair of guides 44 is arranged to act between each stanchion 16 and the associated beam 28. Since the arrangement is the same in each case, only one will be described.
  • the guides 44 are situated at the lower end of the beam 28 so as to co-operate with its inner side 32 and the outer side 26 of the stanchion 16.
  • Each guide 44 is in the form of a U-shaped slide as shown in figures 8 to 10.
  • the slides 44 embrace the sides 26, 32 and are secured to the sides 32 as by welding, but are not in any way attached to the sides 26.
  • the slides 44 are arranged to guide the beam 28 for sliding along the stanchion 16, and to facilitate such movement the longitudinal ends 46 of the portion of each slide embracing the side 26 are raised away from that side. Additionally, the slides 44 serve not only to limit movement of the beam 28 outwardly from-the stanchions 16 but also to restrict lateral movement of these elements relative to one another.
  • one or more sets of bolts or clamps 48 are fixed between the stanchions 16 and the beams 28 to engage their sides 26 and 32.
  • the portal frames 30 When the upper portion 14 is in its lowered position, the portal frames 30 are supported on the free upper ends of the stanchions 16, and the bolts or clamps 48 tops and the bottoms of the secure the limbs 28 against the/stanchions 16. In this condition, the lower ends of the beams 28 are spaced a short distance above portions of the foundations 18.
  • Jacks are then temporarily inserted between the foundations 18 and the portal limbs 28 at some or all of the available points around the building. These jacks are fixed in position, connected up to power suppliesand fully tested. Following this, they are inflated to take the load of the upper portion 14,but not further.
  • the guides 44 are then lubricated for ease of sliding and any potential-obstructions are removed.
  • the means securing the portal frames 30 to the stanchions 16 are eased,at the top first, and then at the bottom, after which they are removed.
  • the jacks are now inflated simultaneously in one or more stages to raise the upper portion 14 to the desired position, whereupon the portal frames 30 and stanchions 16 are fixed together again. Finally, the jacks are released.
  • Lowering of the upper portion 14 is a similar exercise, although it is preferable to make any adjustments required in the cladding and bracing at the end.
  • the height of the building can thus be adjusted as desired and by making appropriate alterations in the interior, the building can be converted for example from one to two stories or from a small to a much increased storage volume.
  • Any services are preferably arranged on a ring system, either with freely connectable extensions or with spare line capacity as appropriate to accommodate alterations. Additional cladding is also provided to seal between the upper and lower portions of the building.
  • this illustrates a modified form of the building which has two independently adjustable sections 50, 52.
  • FIG. 1 The buildings shown in figures 1 and 11 each have only a single span.
  • Figures 12 to 15 concern a multispan building, having as many as four independently adjustable sections 60, 62, 64 and 66.
  • stanchions 70 which are H-shaped in cross-section, embedded centrally within foundations 72. Respective limbs 28 of the portals 30 of one span are located by their guides 44 against the stanchions 70 on one side. Likewise, respective limbs 28 of the portals 30 of another span are located by the guides 44 against the stanchions 70 on the other side. As before, bolts or clamps 48 serve to secure each limb 28 against the adjacent side of the associated stanchion 70 in the desired position.
  • Each span can be raised or lowered independently of thedbher simply by placing jacks on the foundations 72 under some of all of the relevant portal limbs 28. Of course, if one span is raised while the other remains lowered, it will be necessary to apply cladding 74 to the raised span as illustrated in figure 14 for weatherproofing.
  • the described structures have a high degree of adaptability, but can still be constructed simply in a weather-tight manner. They remain rigid and stable in all conditions and are consequently suitable for industrial, leisure and indeed many other uses.
