Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a unit building.
- In a unit building, a column foot of a building unit, which has a framed construction built of a column and a beam by welding, is pin-connected to a base, as is disclosed in the Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-302823 (JP-A)(see
page 3, FIG. 2). - Further, a trapezoidal reinforcing frame can be provided between a ceiling beam and a floor beam of a building unit, which has a Rahmen construction built of a column and a beam by rigid connection, to increase the frame rigidity of the building unit, as is disclosed in the JP-A No. 8-199689.
- Yet further, a plate can be provided between a floor beam of an upper floor unit and a ceiling beam of a lower floor unit of a unit building so as to be fastened together with the beams thereof by a bolt intending to prevent deflection of the floor, as is disclosed in the Japan Utility Model Application Publication (JP-Y) No. 51-45847.
- Still further, webs can be provided respectively in the middle of a floor beam of an upper floor unit and a ceiling beam of a lower floor unit of a unit building so as to be joined together through a joining plate intending to increase the rigidity of the floor beam as well as the ceiling beam, as is disclosed in Japan Patent No. 3330409.
- Still further, with regard to a connecting structure of a unit building, adjacent pipe columns, which are provided in adjacent building units respectively, can be connected across a gap between the building units, as is disclosed in the JP-A No. 06-49911. The connecting structure referred to JP-A 6-49911 comprises a first nut member provided in one of the pipe columns, a second nut member provided opposing the first nut in the other pipe column, a threaded member to fasten both the nut members inside a gap between both the pipe columns, and a spacer in a round pipe shape, which spacer is placed to cover over the threaded member inside the gap between both the pipe columns.
- Still further, a unit building which is capable of providing a wide continuous space eliminating a column is disclosed in the Japan Patent No. 3260266. According to the patent, firstly, the respective predetermined column-eliminated corner portions of adjacent building units are disposed abuttingly to each other at a column-eliminated connection portion. Next, a reinforcing beam is laid on ceiling beam sides from one of the building units to the other building unit. Then, the construction is completed by connecting one end portion of the reinforcing beam to a column of one of the building units and by connecting the other end portion of the reinforcing beam to a column of the other building unit.
- With regard to JP-A 8-302823, since the rigidity of a beam is not sufficient, a column foot rotates with respect to its base and the horizontal rigidity is not improved even though the cross section of a column would be strengthened. Accordingly, it becomes necessary to add an inner column inside a wall or to add a horizontal brace inside a ceiling. These requirements restrain the planning of a building and increase the building cost.
- With regard to JP-A 8-199689, it teaches to provide a trapezoidal reinforcing frame between a ceiling beam and a floor beam of a building unit. However, the reinforcing frame has such a complicated structure that a diagonal member is connected to both ends of a horizontal member. In addition, a horizontal member of the reinforcing frame overlaps a ceiling beam of the building unit.
- With regard to the JP-Y 51-45847 and JP 3330409, these references disclose nothing more than connecting an upper and a lower beam (a floor beam and a ceiling beam) to each other at their middle portions. Therefore, in these references there is no rational consideration for improving the proof strength against a vertical load by means of increasing the rigidity of two beams, or improving the proof strength against a horizontal load by means of increasing the rigidity of a frame of a building unit.
- In addition, the connecting structure disclosed in JP-A 06-49911 has the following problems.
- (1) In the manufacturing of a building unit, it is required to attach a first nut member to a pipe column of one of adjacent building units by welding and to fix a threaded member protrudingly to the first nut member. This causes decreased productivity during manufacturing and inconvenience in the handling of a unit building during transportation and stock.
- (2) At a building site, it is required to fix a spacer over a threaded member of one of building units before placing the other unit building into an adjacent position to the first one. This makes the installation of unit buildings inconvenient.
- (3) It is required to handle a spanner, which is a tool for screwing a second nut member onto a threaded member, within a gap between both pipe columns of adjacent building units. In addition to this, the spanner has to be inserted through a window provided in a spacer toward a second nut member. These makes the handling of nut members difficult.
-
- In addition, the conventional art of JP 3260266 includes the following problems.
- (1) When a reinforcing beam is provided additionally to a ceiling beam, which is disposed intersectingly at a column-eliminated corner portion in a same plane including column-eliminated connection portions of both building units, the reinforcing beam should be a long beam extending from one of building units to the other of the same. This makes the management of materials and the construction difficult.
- (2) Since the reinforcing beam is provided in the outside of a ceiling beam, an excess space is required for the reinforcing beam in the peripheries of both building units. When an additional building unit is placed adjacent to both existing building units, a wide gap between the additional unit and the existing building units is required for accommodating the reinforcing beam.
-
- An object of the present invention is to improve the horizontal rigidity of a unit building.
- Another object of the invention is to improve the vertical rigidity of a unit building.
- Still another object of the invention is to simply recover the reduction in the strength of a unit building, which is due to the elimination of a column for making a wide and continuous space.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a unit building comprising a building unit fixed to a base, the building unit having a Rahmen construction having a column and a beam rigid-connected to each other. A column foot of the unit building is rigid-connected to the base, and a diagonal member is provided between the column foot of the building unit and a middle portion of a ceiling beam or between a column capital and a middle portion of a floor beam.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a unit building comprising building units fixed to a base, the building unit having columns, floor beams and ceiling beams connected to each other. A column foot of the building unit is rigid-connected to the base. A respective predetermined column-eliminated corner portions of a plurality of adjacent building units are disposed adjacently to each other at a column-eliminated connection portion. Ceiling beams are made to a joint ceiling beam, the ceiling beams being disposed in a same plane including the column-eliminated connection portions of the adjacent building units and intersecting at the column-eliminated corner portion. The opposed joint ceiling beams are connected to each other at a column-eliminated connection portion of the adjacent building units.

diagonal members column 21 andbeam 23, and thecolumn 31 and thebeams - Through the use of pin connection of the
diagonal members columns beams 23, 33(32) respectively, the aforementioned invariant construction (invariant truss) can be formed easily at part of the frame of a Rahmen construction.

The column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120 is constructed with respect to the ceiling beams 23 in such a manner that the ceiling beams 23, which are disposed intersectingly to each other at the column-eliminated corner, and which are aligned in the gable direction, are formed into ajoint ceiling beam 121, the rest of ceiling beams 23 are left as the normal ceiling beams 23, the respective normal ceiling beams 23 is connected to the upper end of thecolumn 21 with ajoint piece 23J, thejoint ceiling beam 121 is connected to the upper end of acolumn 21 with thejoint piece 23K, and the ceiling beams 121 is connected to theceiling beam 23 with ajoint piece 23L. - In the column-eliminated
building unit 120, the cross sectional strength of thejoint ceiling beam 121 is increased compared with that of the other normal ceiling beams. Thejoint ceiling beam 121 is formed of a C-shape steel with lip. The end of the joint ceiling beam toward the column-eliminated corner is welded to anend plate 122. In order to prevent thejoint piece 23L, which is to be welded afterwards on said end, to cover theend plate 122, part of thejoint piece 23L is removed like a cut-off 123 along the periphery of theend plate 122. In the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120, the positional accuracy of the surface of theend plate 122 in the longitudinal direction of thejoint ceiling beam 121 is kept with respect to the reference position, which corresponds to thecolumn 21 connected to thejoint piece 23K. - The column-eliminated
building unit 120 is provided with atemporary column 124 detachably at the column-eliminated corner portion. Thetemporary column 124 is detachably connected to the aforementioned joint piece 22K of thefloor beam 22 and thejoint piece 23L of the ceiling beams 23 and 121 with fitting means such as a bolt or a pin. - As shown in FIG. 23A, in part of the lower floor of the
unit building 1A, the respective predetermined column-eliminated corners of the four column-eliminated building units 120 (120A to 120D) are disposed abuttingly to each other at the column-eliminatedconnection portion 2. - The ceiling beams 23, which are disposed intersectingly at the column-eliminated corner in the same plane including both column-eliminated
connection portions 2 between the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120A and the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120B corresponding to each other, serve as the aforementioned joint ceiling beam 121 (FIG. 24). As such, theend plates 122 of the joint ceiling beams 121, which correspond at the column-eliminatedconnection portion 2 of bothbuilding units spacer 110 is inserted into the gap from the top or from the side thereof, which gap is formed between theend plates 122 of the opposed joint ceiling beams 121. The thickness of the spacer is determined to fit the gap. - In this embodiment, two
spacers 110 are inserted into the upper and lower sides of theend plates 122. Then, theend plates 122 of the opposed joint ceiling beams 21 and thespacers 110 are connected together with a high strength bolt 111 (not shown). Thehigh strength bolt 111 is inserted throughbolt holes 122A formed in theopposed end plates 122 andbolt holes 110A formed in thespacers 110 and finally screwed with anut 112 at the forward end thereof. In this embodiment, twohigh strength bolts 111 are used at right and left per one piece of thespacer 110. Thus, the rigid-connection is established in the longitudinal direction of thejoint ceiling beam 121 as well as the horizontally perpendicular direction to the former, so that the substantially perfect rigid-connection can be established as a whole. Thehigh strength bolt 111 may be of a Torshear or a hexagonal type or the like. - Also, the
end plates 122 of the opposed joint ceiling beams 121 between the corresponding column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120C and the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120D are connected to each other including thespacers 110 with ahigh strength bolt 111 for establishing the rigid-connection, in the same manner regarding thebuilding unit 120A and thebuilding unit 120B as aforementioned. - When connecting the
end plates 122 of the opposed joint ceiling beams 121 between the correspondingbuilding unit 120A andbuilding unit 120B, and correspondingbuilding unit 120C andbuilding unit 120D, thetemporary columns 124 are provided at the column-eliminated corner portions of therespective building units 120. Thetemporary columns 124 are removed after the connection between theend plates 122 of the opposed joint ceiling beams 121 has been completed. - The following working-effects are possible according to the present embodiment.
- (a) The joint ceiling beams 121, which intersect each other at
the column-eliminated corner portions of the respective
adjacent building units 120, are connected to each other. As a result, the joint ceiling beams 121 are united into a continuous beam extending over both buildingunits 120 like a long beam. Hence, the column-eliminatedunit building 1A can be reinforced without using a separate long beam, so that the material management and the workability can be improved. - (b) The
joint ceiling beam 121 itself, which is part of theceiling beam 23 consisting thebuilding unit 120, serves to reinforce theunit building 1A, so that there is no need to provide additionally a separate reinforcement member around thebuilding unit 120. In the case of disposing anotherbuilding unit 20 adjacent to thebuilding unit 120, there is no need to provide a space for the reinforcement members between thebuilding unit 120 and anotherbuilding unit 20. - (c) The cross sectional strength of the
joint ceiling beam 121, which intersects at the column-eliminated corner portion of theunit building 1A for reinforcing saidunit building 1A, may be increased enough for compensating the strength reduction due to the elimination of the column. In addition, the cross sectional strength of the other ceiling beams 23 is kept at a normal level. As a result, all of the ceiling beams 23 of thebuilding unit 120 are provided with sufficient cross sectional strength, and contribute to keep strength economically. - (d) The rigid-connection of the
end plates 122 of thejoint ceiling beam 121 of theadjacent building units 120 via thespacers 110 by means ofhigh strength bolts 111 is advantageous for connecting easily the joint ceiling beams 121 to each other, and for improving the accuracy in the dimension of theunit building 1A. - (e) The
temporary column 124, which is provided at the column-eliminated corner portion of thebuilding unit 120, is not removed during the steps of manufacturing of thebuilding unit 120, transportation, stocking, field erection and the connection of thejoint ceiling beam 121. Thus, thebuilding unit 120 may be kept strong during the connection of thejoint ceiling beam 121, so that the building strength during construction may be secured and good workability may be maintained. -

The respective ends of thetemporary beam 126A are connected to the free end of thejoint ceiling beam 121 and the end of thepartial beam 126B with attaching means such as bolt or pin, and is removable by cutting. The end of thepartial beam 126B, which is to be connected to thetemporary beam 126A, is supported by an intermediate column 127 (not shown). - In part of the lower floor of the
unit building 1C, as shown in FIG. 26A, the predetermined column-eliminated corner portions of the two respective column-eliminated building units 120(120A, 120B) are disposed abuttingly at the column-eliminatedconnection portion 2. - Between the column-eliminated

unit building 1C may assure the structural strength by means of thejoint ceiling beam 121 as well as form a stair well over the lowerfloor building unit 120 to the upperfloor building unit 30. - The
unit building 1D shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28 is intended to form a wide and continuous column-eliminated space using the four lower floor column-eliminatedbuilding units 120 as is similar to theunit building 1A. Theunit building 1D is intended further to dispose the upper floor column-eliminatedbuilding units 130 on the respective column-eliminatedbuilding units 120 and to form also a wide and continuous column-eliminated space using the four upper floor column-eliminatedbuilding units 130. - Accordingly, the
unit building 1D is constructed such that thejoint ceiling beam 121 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120A, which is arranged in one side with respect to the column-eliminatedconnection portion 2 of the lower floor, corresponds to thejoint ceiling beam 121 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120B in the other side; thejoint floor beam 131 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 130A, which is arranged in one side with respect to the column-eliminatedconnection portion 2 of the upper floor, corresponds to thejoint floor beam 131 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 130B in the other side; and thejoint floor beam 131 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 130A (130B) in the upper floor is arranged stackingly on thejoint ceiling beam 121 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120A (120B) of the lower floor. - Accordingly, the

joint member 151 and U-sectionedjoint member 152 are placed extendingly over an upper flange of thejoint ceiling beam 121 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120A and an upper flange of thejoint ceiling beam 121 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 120B. Thejoint member 151 is placed additionally on an inner surface of the upper flange of both joint ceiling beams 121. Thejoint member 152 is placed additionally on an outer surface of the upper flange, an upper portion of a web and an upper lip of both joint ceiling beams 121. -
- At one side of the
joint members high strength bolts 153 are inserted through bolt holes formed in thejoint members joint ceiling beam 121, the lower flange and ajoint piece 131J of thejoint floor beam 131 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 130A and asquare washer 131A, and the inserted end thereof is fastened with anut 153A ofstrength bolts 153. Note that thejoint piece 131J is placed for connecting ashort column 131C to the column-eliminated end of thejoint floor beam 131. At the other side of thejoint members high strength bolts 153 are inserted through bolt holes formed in thejoint members joint ceiling beam 121, the lower flange and thejoint piece 131J of thejoint floor beam 131 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 130B and asquare nut 131A, and the inserted end thereof is fastened with anut 153A. Note that saidjoint piece 131J is placed for connecting ashort column 131C to the column-eliminated end of thejoint floor beam 131. As such, the one side of thejoint members joint ceiling beam 121 and thejoint floor beam 131 of the column-eliminatedbuilding units joint members joint ceiling beam 131 andjoint floor beam 131 of the column-eliminatedbuilding units - In addition, in the upper floor of the
unit building 1D, the joint ceiling member 132 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 130A on one side with respect to the column-eliminatedconnection portion 2 and the joint ceiling beam 132 of the column-eliminatedbuilding unit 130B on the other side are connected with a joint member which is similar to thejoint members - According to the present embodiment, the joint ceiling beams 121, 121 corresponding to each other and the joint floor beams 131, 131 corresponding to each other of the
adjacent building units high strength bolts unit building 1D may be improved. - FIG. 29 to 32 show a
guide collar 200 and aattachment 210 which are preferable for connecting the end plates to each other, whichend plates 122 are to be placed on the opposed joint ceiling beams 121 of, for example,unit building 1A according to the construction method V. Theguide collar 200 andattachment 210 serves to align thebolt holes 122A formed in theend plates 122 of the opposed joint ceiling beams 121 (also thebolt holes 110A formed in the spacer 110) in order to cause thehigh strength bolt 111 to be inserted easily. The method of alignment will be described hereunder. - Note that the
guide collar 200 is configured to have, as shown in FIG. 29, a length shorter than that of the threaded portion of thehigh strength bolt 111, an outer diameter smaller than those of thebolt hole 122A in theend plate 122 andbolt hole 110A in thespacer 110, ahexagonal head 201 at its base end, a taperedfront end 202 and a threaded hole for thehigh strength bolt 111 to be inserted therethrough. Also note that theattachment 210 is configured to have aslit 211 and astopper 212, as shown in FIG. 30. The clearance of the slit is smaller than the diameter of thehead 111A of ahigh strength bolt 111 and larger than the diameter of the threaded stem thereof, so that the threaded stem can be inserted through theslit 211. When the threaded stem of thebolt 111, which is attached with theguide collar 200, is inserted through theslit 211, the outer surfaces of thehexagonal head 201 of theguide collar 200 engages theslit 211, and thecollar 200 comes to be stopped to rotate. - (1) A
guide collar 200 is screwed on the circumference of ahigh strength bolt 111 except for the front portion (FIG. 43A). - (2) The front portion of the
high strength bolt 111 is inserted through abolt hole 122A formed in anend plate 122 of opposed joint ceiling beams 121 (FIG. 31B). At this time, if the bolt holes 122A in bothend plates 122 orbolt hole 110A inspacer 110 are not aligned to each other, theguide collar 200 may be stopped after entering through asingle bolt hole end plate 122. - (3) When the
nut 112 is put on the front portion of thehigh strength bolt 111, which front portion is protruded from thebolt hole 122A in theend plate 122, and screwed about the bolt, thehigh strength bolt 111 and theguide collar 200 may be drawn through the bolt holes 122A in the twoend plates 122 and the bolt holes 110A in thespacer 110. Thus, the bolt holes 122A and 110A are aligned coaxially respectively (FIG. 31C to FIG. 31E). - (4) Then, the
nut 112 is removed from the high strength bolt 111 (FIG. 31F). - (5) The
high strength bolt 111 is loosen from theguide collar 200, and theattachment 210 is inserted between thehead 111A of thehigh strength bolt 111 and the outer surface of the first plate of theend plate 122. Theguide collar 200 is received in theattachment 210, and the outer surface of thehexagonal head 201 of theguide collar 200 is made to engage thestopper 212 of theattachment 210, so that theattachment 210 serves to stop the rotation of the guide collar (FIG. 32A and FIG. 32B). - (6) When the
high strength bolt 111 is screwed up against theattachment 210, a reaction force is generated between the high strength bolt and theend plate 122 or thespacer 110. The guide collar may be drawn out from thebolt hole 122A in theend plate 122 or thebolt hole 110A in thespacer 110 with the aid of the reaction force making theattachment 210 as a support point (FIG. 32C and FIG. 32D). - (7) The
guide collar 200 and theattachment 210 are removed together with thehigh strength bolt 111 out of thebolt hole 122A in the end plate 122 (FIG. 32E). - (8) The high strength bolt 111 (the same removed from the
guide collar 200 may be used) are inserted into the alignedbolt holes 122A in bothend plates 122 and the bolt holes 110A in thespacer 110, thenut 112 is screwed completely about the inserted front end of said high strength bolt. Thus, theend plates 122 of the opposedjoint ceiling beam 121 are connected to each other completely. -
- In the case of
bolt holes 122A (110A) being prepared in three or more positions in the end plates 122 (spacer 110), the alignment according to the aforementioned steps (1) to (7) making use of theguide collar 200 and theattachment 210 may be carried out forbolt holes 122A (110A) in at least two positions, or preferably for the same taking two positions on a diagonal. Then, the alignment for the rest of the bolt holes 122A (110A) may be carried out automatically. - Note that the foregoing alignment method for a plurality of opposed holes making use of the
guide collar 200 and theattachment 210 may be applied not only to the construction method V, but also to the construction method II in which the bolt holes formed in the opposed two beams (may include the plates) are to be aligned, and to the construction method III in which the bolt holes formed in the respective opposed side walls of the adjacent pipe columns are to be aligned. - According to the present embodiment, the
guide collar 200 and theattachment 210 may be effectively used for making correction of the misalignment of the bolt holes 122A of the opposedjoint ceiling beam 121, and as a result, the alignment of thebolt holes 122A is easier and the insertion of thehigh strength bolt 111 into thebolt holes 122A is also easier. - Further, in the case of holding the
spacer 110 between the opposed joint ceiling beams 121, the bolt holes 122A and 110A, which are formed in thejoint ceiling beam 121 and thespacer 110 respectively, may be aligned easily. - The building unit of the present invention can be of a type where the column-eliminated corner portions of the three or more column-eliminated building units are connected abuttingly to each other at the column-eliminated connection portion.
- Next, a modified embodiment of the construction method I will be described hereunder.
- As shown in FIG. 33 and FIGS. 34A and 34B, a
unit building 1 is constructed in such a manner that a plurality of thebuilding units 20, which are built at a manufacturing site, are disposed adjacently to each other in the horizontal direction onfoundations 10 at a building site. - As shown in FIGS. 34A and 34B, the
building unit 20 has a rectangular parallelepiped framework construction wherein floor beams 22 of a structural steel are laid over fourpipe columns 21 of a square steel and welded to column foots 21F thereof, and ceiling beams 23 of a structural steel are laid over the foregoingcolumns 21 and welded to column capitals thereof. - In the
building unit 20, as shown in FIG. 35 and FIGS. 36A and 36B, one of ends of ajoint piece 22J, which has a cross section in a shape of half-square, is welded to the outer surface of thecolumn foot 21F of thecolumn 21, and an end of thefloor beam 22 is inserted into the half-square shaped cross section of thejoint piece 22J, and saidfloor beam 22 is secured by welding to thejoint piece 22J. At this time, since thecolumn foot 21F of thecolumn 21 is not provided with a column lid on the lower end opening thereof, thefloor beam 22 is pin-connected to thecolumn foot 21F of thecolumn 21. Note that thecolumn foot 21F may be provided with atemporary lid 21C on the lower end opening, which temporary lid is used during manufacturing and transportation. Also note that the column capital of thecolumn 21 is provided with a column lid on the upper end opening, so that theceiling beam 23 is rigid-connected to the column capital of thecolumn 21. - According to the modified
embodiment 1, as shown in FIGS. 34A and 34B and FIGS. 36A and 36B, the base connection structure of thebuilding unit 20 is of a type where thecolumn foot 21F of thecolumn 21 is rigid-connected to abase 10 and secured to the same. Specifically, asteel base construction 223 is secured to aconcrete mat foundation 221 of the base 10 withanchor bolts 222, asupport member 224 of a square steel pipe is welded to abase plate 223A of thebase construction 223, which supportmember 224 is reinforced by adiagonal member 223B, a lower end of asteel core 225 is inserted into thesupport member 224 through the top end thereof, which lower end is welded to the support member so that thecore 225 will be installed upright. In this embodiment, the outer size of the cross section of the steelpipe support member 224 is to be identical to the outer size of thecolumn 21F. When thebuilding unit 20 is built on thebase 10, thecore 225 of thebase 10 is inserted into a hollow portion of thecolumn foot 21F of thecolumn 21 of thebuilding unit 20. Then, thecolumn foot 21F and thecore 225 are connected with twohigh strength bolts 231, which are configured to penetrate through thecolumn foot 21F as well as thecore 225 and disposed adjacently in an above-and-below relation,washers 232 and nuts 233. Thecore 225 attaches to a inside surface of thecolumn foot 21F without making any gap therebetween in the beam direction of thebuilding unit 20, which direction is same as that of the axial direction of thehigh strength bolt 231. On the contrary, thecore 225 attaches to the inside surface of thecolumn foot 21A with a gap in the gable direction of the building unit 20 (FIGS. 36A and 36B). - In addition, when the
adjacent building unit 20 is not provided with acorresponding column 21 in the beam direction, thecolumn foot 21F of asingle column 21 and asingle core 225 is connected with a single high strength bolt 231 (FIG. 36B). On the contrary, when two buildingunits 20 are disposed adjacently in the beam direction, aspacer 234 is held between both column foots 21F, and said two column foots 21F and acore 225 are connected together with a single high strength bolt 231 (FIG. 37). - With regard to the strength of the aforementioned base connection structure of a
building unit 20, in which the internal width of thecolumn foot 21F is given as d and the span in the vertical direction between the adjacenthigh strength bolts 231 is given as e, a following relation is found in the beam direction of thebuilding unit 20; d × f1 + e × f2 > Ma, where f1 is a vertical load, f2 is a horizontal load and Ma is a bending moment as shown in FIG. 38A. In the gable direction of thebuilding unit 20, it is found that e × f > Mb, where f is a horizontal load and Mb is a bending mode as shown in FIG. 38B. Accordingly, it should be noted that thecolumn foot 21F and thecore 225 may be rigid-connected in both beam and gable directions by means of thecore 225, which attaches firmly the internal surfaces of thecolumn foot 21F in the beam direction of thebuilding unit 20, with twohigh strength bolts 231 which are disposed in an above-and-below relation. - In the aforementioned base connection structure of the
building unit 20, thejoint piece 22J of thefloor beam 22 is welded to the outer surface of the hollow portion, where thecore 225 is to be inserted, of thecolumn foot 21F of thecolumn 21, so that saidjoint piece 22J serves to constitute one of the reinforcing pieces of this invention. - The following working-effects are possible according to the aforementioned base connection structure of the
building unit 20. - (a) By virtue of the rigid-connection of the
column foot 21F of thebuilding unit 20 to thebase 10, thecolumn foot 21F may be constrained to rotate with respect to abase 10 and the horizontal rigidity of the building may be improved. There is no need to strengthen the cross section of acolumn 21, or to add an intermediate column or a horizontal brace in order to improve the horizontal rigidity of the building, so that the degree of freedom for planning of the building is increased, and the cost is decreased. - (b)
A core 225 mounted on thebase 10 is inserted into a hollow portion of acolumn foot 21F, and thecolumn foot 21F and thecore 225 are firmly attached to each other and connected with thehigh strength bolt 231, which are configured to penetrate through thecolumn foot 21F as well as thecore 225. By virtue of this, thecolumn 21F and thecore 225 may be made rigid-connection in the beam direction in which thecolumn foot 21F and thecore 225 are attached firmly to each other, and in the gable direction in which thecolumn foot 21F and thecore 225 are attached holding a gap therebetween. Hence, thecolumn foot 21F may be made by rigid-connection easily to thebase 10. - (c) A reinforcing
piece 22J is connected to an outer surface of the hollow portion of thecolumn 21F where thecore 225 of thecolumn foot 21F is to be inserted. As a result, the reinforcingpiece 22J serves to prevent the decrease of the rigidity of thecolumn foot 21F, and consequently to prevent the local deformation thereof. - (d) The
joint piece 22J, which is provided for thecolumn foot 21F to be connected to thefloor beam 22, may be used as the aforementioned reinforcingpiece 22J. - (e)Since the
floor beam 22 is pin-connected to thecolumn foot 21F, thebuilding unit 20 is assured to keep enough horizontal rigidity according to forgoing (a), while the framework of thebuilding unit 20 is simplified. -
- In addition, by virtue of the aforementioned base connection structure of the

Note that the steelpipe support structure 241 is not accompanied by abase plate 223A, adiagonal member 223B or the like, which are shown in FIG. 35, in the inside of the side plane of thebuilding unit 20, which side plane does not include afloor beam 22 as mentioned just above. Therefore, saidsteel support 241 is strengthened by being provided with the implants, which are built into themat foundation 221, with lockingprotrusions 241A, or by being made with the outside size of the cross section thereof larger than that of thecolumn foot 21F. When thebuilding unit 20 is built on thebase 10, thecore 225 of thebase 10 is inserted into the hollow portion of thecolumn foot 21F of thecolumn 21 of thebuilding unit 20, then thecolumn foot 21F and thecore 225 are connected by twohigh strength bolts 231,washers 232 andnut 233, which bolts are configured to penetrate thecolumn foot 21F and thecore 225, and are disposed in an above-and-below relation. Thecore 225 is attached firmly without gap to the inside surface of thecolumn foot 21F in the beam direction of thebuilding unit 20, which direction is identical to the axial direction of the high strength bolts. On the contrary, thecore 225 is attached to the inside surface of thecolumn foot 21F making a gap in the gable direction of the building unit 20 (FIGS. 36A and 36B). - In the aforementioned base connection structure of the
building unit 20, a reinforcing piece can be connected to the outside surface of the hollow portion of thecolumn foot 21F, in which hollow portion thecore 225 is to be inserted. Said reinforcing piece is similar to the aforementioned joint piece-cum-reinforcingpiece 22J, and has a short length and protrudes shortly toward the inside of thebuilding unit 20. The reinforcing piece may prevent the reduction of the rigidity of thecolumn 21F as well as the local deformation thereof. - FIG. 39 shows a modified embodiment of the core 51, which is used for the aforementioned steel pipe support member 224 (or steel pipe support structure 241) of the

On the other hand, receivingpieces 265 are provided in a plurality (four for example) of positions inside a hollow portion in a lower end of acolumn 21F of thecolumn 21 of thebuilding unit 20 as is similar to the modifiedembodiment 3. The receivingpieces 265 are fixed by welding to thecolumn foot 21F and provided respective threadedholes 265A. Accordingly, when installing abuilding unit 20 onto thebase 260, the mountinghole 282A of the mountingpiece 282 of thebase 260 is aligned with the threadedhole 265A of the receivingpiece 265 of thecolumn 21F by using theguide pin 270 of the modifiedembodiment 3 and the like, and thehigh strength bolt 266 inserted through the mountinghole 282A of the mountingpiece 282 is screwed into the threadedhole 265A of the receivingpiece 265. Thus, thecolumn 21F is made by rigid-connection to the mountingpiece 282 of thebase 260. - Note that the
base construction 280 is not limited to a type in which thebody 281 is secured with theanchor bolt 262 which is fixed to theimplant plate 261A in themat foundation 261 of thebase 260. Instead, it is possible to provide locking protrusions, such as the lockingprotrusions 241A provided on thesupport 241 in the modifiedembodiment 2, on the implanted portion of thebody 281, and thebody 281 with the locking protrusions may then be implanted into themat foundation 261. - As heretofore explained, embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings.
