Abstract

An aperture (11) formed by one or more elements of a truss (12) and utilized to form ductile connections with other reinforcement elements. Said aperture may be formed by the positioning, bending, weaving or sewing of one or more said elements. The trusses (12) may be disposed in parallel or intersecting planes and may be connected by the utilization of said apertures on site or fabricated offsite. They may be assembled into structures or into modular or custom panels with which structures may be built, and embedded in cementations (20). Insulation and other mechanical systems may be incorporated into said truss (12) and panel systems prior to embedment in cementations (20). The aperture-forming trusses (12) may also be used to incorporate prior art into structures with enhanced properties. The resulting interconnected systems of apertures (11), trusses (12), insulation and other systems generally are embedded in cementations (20) to produce structures with superior ductility of interconnections and enhanced composite behavior.

Until now current and previous truss and panel designs have provided valid construction alternatives to more traditional configurations of building material. However, they have been unfamiliar to and have not been embraced by a construction industry well versed in prevalent wood, concrete masonry and steel building methods. Adoption of more stringent mandatory building code requirements with respect to seismic, wind, fire and energy conservation has progressed over the years, land and labor costs have risen, and the cost of raw materials has increased. This has caused the costs ot the development of wood, steel frame, masonry block and poured in place concrete structures to rise significantly. Rising maintenance, and energy costs foi finished structures have also increased the costs of operation and ownership. The benefits of truss and panel designs address all of these factors, and as a result, their price competitiveness has become apparent, reducing the resistance of the construction and fabrication industries to their use as mass production construction techniques. Both the construction industry and consumers will benefit from the development of faster, stronger, more durable and energy efficient consli uuliuπ techniques and structures employing them. Trusses and composite trusses of various kinds have been constructed over the years with a variety of designs, connections, methodology and materials. Some have been designed into space frames as the reinforcement matrix for structural panels with facings of cementatious material. In all such panels, the optimization of structural strength, ductility and consequent composite behavior is clearly desirable. Some have featured a disposition of elements attached so as to form loops or apertures of reinforcement. Such apertures have served to elaborate tήe embedment of reinforcement in cementations in an attempt to enhance composite action. However, such panels have been deficient in their ductility, that is, the ability to undergo changes of form without breaking or falling apart.

Building panels of various kinds have been developed over the years incorporating a variety of external facings, reinforcement, and internal insulating materials. Prefabricated panels are factory made and shipped to a site for assembly Into interior and exterior walls of a building. Some panels are also made directly at the building site. Such prior panels typically have a framework, commonly of wond or metal studs and or wire, readymadβ with an insulativβ core and sometimes incorporating electrical wirings and plumbing. Prefabricated panels have means for attachment to each other along abutting edges and for attachment to roof trusses, rafters, flooring and foundations. Panels have been constructed to withstand the various types of forces that buildings typically undergo such as compression forces from floor loads and roofs. Such panels have also been designed to provide insulation, weather-tight sealing, and to be connected to adjacent panels, roof systems, and to footers. The panels have typically been connected to roof trusses or rafters using conventional brackets, which are nailed to the wooden rafters or trusses and to wooden headers.

The brackets are designed to withstand the forces exerted by seismic events and the lifting forces exerted upon roof structures by wind. The structural systems of a building resist such forces well to the degree that they enable the building to behave as a unit under stress rather than failing at points of attachment or across surfaces, weakening the structure and making it susceptible to catastrophic failure. The degree of composite, or unitized, behavior of a structure and of the elements used to build it increases with increased ductility of structural interconnection.

The present invention is directed towards a means to construct monolithic composite insulated structures from elements that can comprise a panel system and that addresses composite behavior and ductility of structures. Said structure not only provides superior strength against compression and tension forces longitudinally, and laterally, and transversely but also anchors, braces, positions and strengthens structural trusses in a truss system. Walls, roots, floors, and foundations areBβd tc^etherϊn such a manner as to provide a greatty increased tension and compression and shear strength and resistance to lifting and shaking forces.

Preferred Embodiment - Operation

The manner of using the aperture device 11 is adaptable to structural requirements of any given form or disposition and can be erected as follows: panels can be fabricated and erected as framework reinforcement at site as follows: a preferred embodiment an element of said core 15 panels are placed on a horizontal surface with an edge 16 facing upward which has been grooved 14 to fit and position a truss 12. In this example, two opposite edges 16 of core panel 15 element are grooved 14. An adhesive is applied to said edge 16 and an element of an Anvick aperture (11) composite truss 12a-z configuration is fitted within the preformed grooves 14 which accept half of the girth of the wehhinp element 7 and position said element with respect to said core paneHS. A corresponding grooved core paneHS element is fitted on top of the first element and completes the embedment of the first truss 12 configuration. The positioning Is such that there Is sufficient clearance between the truss 12 and reinforcement attachment points 8a,b,c,d for required embedment in cementations 20. This process is repeated, the core panel elements 15 aligned flush with each other and positioning the truss 12 array, until the desired panel width is assembled. Once said adhesive has set the panel can be set in place on an arrangement of reinforcement protruding at predetermined spatial relation from a previously formed foundation structure 18. independently locatable aperture cincturing devices 13a-z attach the foundation reinforcement 18 to either the lateral 8c,d or longitudinal 8a, b reinforcement elements when the aperture connecting, lateral reinforcement 8c,d are inserted through the apertures 11. Welded wire fabric 19 can be installed, if called for, prior to the ad dition of said lateral reinforcement 8c,d. which then serves to cincture 13f, said fabric when installed overlt. θysterπ components alternatively may be fabricated off site.

Cords 8a and 8b of said trusses 12 sandwich the attached, paired, flush positioned vertices 6a forming paired apertures 11. Reinforcement 8c,d is then inserted and communicated through and girded within said apertures 11 to complete an embodiments basic array. The resulting array is a folded plate structure with multidirectional truss 12 behavior. Said curvilinear and or wave form webbing 7 effect provides for a real three dimensional structural action once connecting reinforcement 8,c,d ,and 18, and cementations 20 are installed.

In this preferred embodiment a truss 12b structure is elaborated by assembling said trusses 12 edge to edge in planes which intersect at longitudinal lines of vertices 6a which alternate from side to side of the resulting three dimensional space frame, along a transverse axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis. This transverse axis in cross section consequently resembles a longitudinal cross section, consisting of alternating substantially equilateral triangles, neighboring triangles inverted, between parallel lines, bases of said triangular cross section composed of cords 8c,d which pass through cincturing vertices 6a along the intersecting planes of longitudinal trusses 12. Vertices 6a in this embodiment are betύ : at Sri angkf and al a location as to allow therrf to lie flush Wit each other, to be sandwiched between the double cords of a longitudinal truss, and to protrude beyond said cords sufficiently to allow a connecting transverse cords Sc.d to be threaded through the cincturing girdle formed between said dual cords and protruding vertex. 11 Said cords 12 form alternating lines from side to side of a so comprised space frame along said space frames longitudinal axis at the alternating vertices 6a of the continuous web 7 element initially described. Alternating intersecting planes of trusses 12 in both longitudinal and transverse sfrύcTures. Each cinctXired verieYlSa ofa frame is one comer of the square base of one or more said structures, depending upon location at an edge, corner, or in the field of a panel of this configuration of space frame, as well as summit vertex 6a of an inverted neighboring one, the alternate square bases forming a substantially planar opposite surface lattices of a space frame.
