Le bâtiment conforme à l'invention comprend schematiquement une structure de base horizontale circulaire 1, une structure verticale d'étage 2, formant dans l'exemple représenté un seul étage et une structure de toit circulaire 3 de forme générale convexe.The building according to the invention schematically comprises a circular horizontal base structure 1, a vertical storey structure 2, forming in the example shown a single storey and a circular roof structure 3 of generally convex shape.
Suivant l'exemple représenté, la structure 0 de base horizontale et circulaire se compose de deux cuvettes identiques 4 et 5 réalisées chacune à l'aide d'éléments identiques assemblés 41f 5-*, en forme de secteurs de cercle à bord relevé. Ces éléments sont juxtaposés suivant des rayons de cette structure de 5 base circulaire dont le centre est situé sur l'axe vertical X-X du bâtiment.According to the example shown, the basic horizontal and circular structure 0 consists of two identical bowls 4 and 5 each produced using identical elements assembled 4 1f 5- *, in the form of sectors of a circle with raised edge. These elements are juxtaposed along radii of this circular base structure whose center is located on the vertical axis XX of the building.
Les deux cuvettes 4 et 5 renversées l'une par rapport à l'autre, sont en appui d'emboîtement par leur périphérie, les éléments 4-,, 5-, comportant à cet 0 effet, sur leur bord relevé, des demi-emboîtements identiques 42/ 52 (voir figure 4).The two bowls 4 and 5 overturned relative to each other, are in interlocking support by their periphery, the elements 4- ,, 5-, comprising for this purpose, on their raised edge, half identical sockets 4 2/5 2 (see Figure 4).
Par ailleurs, ces éléments juxtaposés 4*) et 5, sont assemblés par des emboîtements 43, 53 disposés suivant leurs plans de juxtaposition radiale (voir 5 figure 3).Furthermore, these juxtaposed elements 4 *) and 5, are assembled by sockets 4 3 , 5 3 arranged along their radial juxtaposition planes (see 5 Figure 3).
L ' extrémité centrale 43, 53 des éléments juxtaposés 4, , 5, des deux cuvettes renversées 4 et 5 sont assemblées , par un montage à tenon et mortaise , sur des couronnes circulaires 44, 54 , elles-mêmes _ réalisées chacune en deux demi-couronnes (voir figure 4 ) .The central end 4 3 , 5 3 of the juxtaposed elements 4,, 5, of the two inverted bowls 4 and 5 are assembled, by a tenon and mortise mounting, on circular crowns 4 4 , 5 4 , themselves _ made each in two half-crowns (see Figure 4).
Des piliers 45 supportent la couronne 54 en prenant appui sur la couronne inférieure 44 (voir figure 2 ) . 5 La structure de base ainsi réalisée constitue une structure étanche dont la résistance aux secousses sismiques est obtenue notamment par un câble 6 disposé sous tension et venant ceinturer horizontalement cette structure de base 1 à hauteur du plan de jointoiement périphérique des deux cuvettes 4 et 5.Pillars 4 5 support the crown 5 4 by resting on the lower crown 4 4 (see Figure 2). 5 The basic structure thus produced constitutes a waterproof structure whose resistance to earthquake shaking is obtained in particular by a cable 6 placed under tension and coming to surround this basic structure 1 horizontally at the height of the peripheral joint plane of the two bowls 4 and 5.
Les couronnes coaxiales 44, 5 sont elles- mêmes ceinturées par un câble sous tension.The coaxial rings 4 4 , 5 are themselves surrounded by a live cable.
La face supérieure de la seconde cuvette renversée 5 constitue le plancher du rez-de-chaussée du bâtiment et se prolonge, à l'extérieur, par des éléments de plancher-terrasse 7 supportés par des consoles 7, et limités par des éléments de balustrade 8. La structure verticale d'étage comprend des piliers 9 et 10 et des éléments 11 formant un panneau de plancher d'étage.The upper face of the second inverted bowl 5 constitutes the floor of the ground floor of the building and is extended, outside, by floor-terrace elements 7 supported by consoles 7, and limited by railing elements 8. The vertical storey structure comprises pillars 9 and 10 and elements 11 forming a storey floor panel.
Les piliers 9 et 10 sont en appui par leurs extrémités inférieures en 9*ι et 10, (voir figure 3), au milieu d'éléments 4*, de la première cuvette 4 et traversent la seconde cuvette 5 en 92, 102 à hauteur de demi-emboîtements formés sur les plans de jointoiement orientés radialement des éléments 5,. Les éléments 41 et 5, des deux cuvettes 4, 5 sont donc décalés angulairement d'un angle correspondant à la moitié de l'angle au centre de chaque élément.The pillars 9 and 10 are supported by their lower ends in 9 * ι and 10, (see Figure 3), in the middle of elements 4 *, the first bowl 4 and pass through the second bowl 5 in 9 2 , 10 2 at the height of half-sockets formed on the radially oriented jointing planes of the elements 5 ,. The elements 4 1 and 5 of the two bowls 4, 5 are therefore angularly offset by an angle corresponding to half the angle at the center of each element.
Ces piliers 9 et 10 sont de préférence reliés radialement l'un à l'autre par une arcade 12 située directement sous les éléments de plancher d'étage 11.These pillars 9 and 10 are preferably connected radially to each other by an arch 12 located directly under the floor floor elements 11.
De préférence, l'angle au centre de chaque élément 4, 5 ou 11 correspond à la moitié de l'angle au centre des piliers 9, 10 orientés radialement et entre deux piliers adjacents se trouvent donc, chaque fois, deux éléments juxtaposés 5-, et 11 ainsi qu'un élément 4.- juxtaposé de part et d'autre avec deux moitiés de deux autres éléments 4** .Preferably, the angle at the center of each element 4, 5 or 11 corresponds to half the angle at the center of the pillars 9, 10 oriented radially and between two adjacent pillars therefore there are, each time, two juxtaposed elements 5- , and 11 and one element 4.- juxtaposed on either side with two halves of two other elements 4 **.
Les éléments de plancher 11, supportés par des demi-emboîtements sur les piliers 9 et 10 ainsi que par l'arcade 12, sont réunis dans leur zone centrale par une balustrade intérieure 13, ces éléments de plancher 11 se prolongeant à l'extérieur du bâtiment pour former un balcon 112 délimité par une balustrade 14.The floor elements 11, supported by half-sockets on the pillars 9 and 10 as well as by the arch 12, are joined in their central zone by an internal balustrade 13, these floor elements 11 extending outside the building to form a balcony 11 2 delimited by a balustrade 14.
Les piliers 9 et 10 sont surmontés par des poutres de toit 15 disposées radialement et sont réunis, au centre du bâtiment, par une couronne 16 ceinturée également par un câble sous tension.The pillars 9 and 10 are surmounted by roof beams 15 arranged radially and are joined, in the center of the building, by a crown 16 also surrounded by a live cable.
Les poutres radiales 15 supportent des éléments assemblés juxtaposés radialement 17 constituant ensemble une coupole aboutissant à la couronne 16.The radial beams 15 support assembled elements juxtaposed radially 17 together constituting a dome leading to the crown 16.
La périphérie de la structure de toit 3 est délimitée par une balustrade de toiture 18 en appui sur les piliers extérieurs 10 et emboîtés avec les poutres 15.The periphery of the roof structure 3 is delimited by a roof balustrade 18 bearing on the external pillars 10 and fitted with the beams 15.
Des câbles, sous tension 19 sont disposés dans des plans verticaux orientés radialement depuis la périphérie de la structure de base 1 en passant par la structure de toit 3 afin que par les effets combinés de ces câbles avec le câble 6 ceinturant horizontalement la structure de base 1, on aboutisse à une structure rigide indéformable se comportant comme si elle était monobloc alors qu'elle est obtenue à partir d'un grand nombre d'éléments en béton juxtaposés dont les dimensions sont, de préférence, déterminées pour pouvoir être transportables sur route.Cables, under tension 19 are arranged in vertical planes oriented radially from the periphery of the basic structure 1 passing through the roof structure 3 so that by the combined effects of these cables with the cable 6 horizontally encircling the basic structure 1, we end up with a rigid non-deformable structure behaving as if it were in one piece while it is obtained from a large number of juxtaposed concrete elements whose dimensions are preferably determined to be transportable on the road .
Ces câbles 19 relient (voir figure 2) la périphérie de la couronne 16 à la périphérie de la structure de base 1 à hauteur de chaque ensemble radial formé par les piliers 9, 10 et les poutres 15 ; l'extrémité des câbles 19 raccordés à la périphérie de la structure de base, se dédoublent en 19! et 192 pour être accrochés à des éléments 4, différents de la cuvette 4 (voir figures 6 et 7).These cables 19 connect (see FIG. 2) the periphery of the ring 16 to the periphery of the basic structure 1 at the height of each radial assembly formed by the pillars 9, 10 and the beams 15; the end of the cables 19 connected to the periphery of the basic structure, split in 19 ! and 19 2 to be attached to elements 4, different from the bowl 4 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).
Un câble sous tension 20 pourra également être prévu pour ceinturer horizontalement les éléments 11 formant le plancher de l'étage du bâtiment.A live cable 20 may also be provided to horizontally surround the elements 11 forming the floor of the floor of the building.
10 A l'intérieur de la couronne de toiture 16 est disposé un élément creux 20 formant le bassin d'une piscine, cette piscine étant surmontée d'un dôme 21 supporté par des piliers 22.10 Inside the roof crown 16 is disposed a hollow element 20 forming the basin of a swimming pool, this swimming pool being surmounted by a dome 21 supported by pillars 22.
Des panneaux horizontaux 23 entourés par une 2 balustrade 24 sont également juxtaposés radialement afin de constituer un plancher de* dôme (voir figure 4).Horizontal panels 23 surrounded by a 2 balustrade 24 are also juxtaposed radially in order to form a * dome floor (see FIG. 4).
Le bassin 20 de la piscine ainsi que le dôme 21 sont de préférence réalisés en deux moitiés _0 assemblées,The basin 20 of the swimming pool as well as the dome 21 are preferably made in two halves _ 0 assembled,
La face extérieure du bâtiment antisis ique conforme à l'invention est constituée par des éléments de paroi 24 (voir figures 4 et 5) disposés de part et d'autre d'ouvertures 26 constituant des portes- «ς fenêtres des pièces d'habitation du rez-de-chaussée. Ces portes-fenêtres sont délimitées sur le bord supérieur par des linteaux 27. A hauteur du premier étage, sont prévus des blocs-fenêtres 28 reliés par des panneaux de paroi 29, lesquels sont éventuellement pourvus de panneaux capteurs solaires 30.The external face of the anti-icing building according to the invention is constituted by wall elements 24 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) arranged on either side of openings 26 constituting doors- ς windows of living rooms on the ground floor. These French windows are delimited on the upper edge by lintels 27. At the height of the first floor, there are window units 28 connected by wall panels 29, which are optionally provided with solar collector panels 30.
De tels panneaux capteurs solaires 31 pourront également être prévus au-dessus des éléments d'ossature 17 constituant ensemble la coupole du bâtiment.Such solar collector panels 31 may also be provided above the framework elements 17 which together constitute the dome of the building.
Comme déjà indiqué, ce bâtiment antisismique est supporté par la structure de base 1 et plus précisément par la première cuvette à paroi étanche 4. Il est à noter que cette cuvette 4 de la structure de base 1 pourra être réalisée d'un volume fonction du poids du bâtiment qu'elle supporte, afin de constituer un bâtiment flottant dont la ligne de flottaison ne dépasse pas le bord de la cuvette 4. Le bâtiment pourra ainsi être disposé afin de flotter dans l'eau d'un bassin, ce qui permettra notamment de l'orienter en permanence par rapport au soleil. As already indicated, this earthquake-resistant building is supported by the base structure 1 and more precisely by the first basin with a sealed wall 4. It should be noted that this basin 4 of the base structure 1 may be produced in a volume which depends on the weight of the building which it supports , in order to constitute a floating building whose water line does not exceed the edge of the bowl 4.
