Definitions

  • This invention pertains to building frame structure, and more particularly to unique column, beam, cross-bracing and interconnect structures employable in such structure.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention, and a manner of practicing it, as well as several illustrated modifications, are illustrated and described herein.
  • a new, elongate column structure which is formed from an assembly of plural, elongate, angle-iron-like components that are united by bolting them together through interposed spacers which help to define the final configuration of the column.
  • four such angle-iron-like components are employed, with each of these taking the form, generally, of an elongate, right-angle, angle-iron section of otherwise conventional construction, and with cross-like spacers (one or more) interposed and holding these components apart.
  • These four elongate components are arranged in such a fashion that their legs essentially radiate in a star-like manner from the long axis of the assembled column.
  • Each leg in each angle-iron-like component confrontingly faces one other leg in one adjacent such component.
  • angle-iron-like components and the spacer, or spacers are nut-and-bolt connected to create a frictional interface between these elements. Depending upon the tightness employed in such connections, the level of frictional engagement can be adjusted.
  • the assembled combination of angle-iron-like components and spacers forms a generally cross-shaped (transverse cross section) column assembly.
  • Each column assembly is also referred to herein as a column structure, and as a column.
  • these recesses are employed to receive modified and inserted end regions (or extensions) of the central webs in elongate I-beams. These same recesses also receive the ends of cross-braces which, in a preferred embodiment, each take the form of flat metal bar stock.
  • the modified I-beams result from removal of short portions of their upper and lower flanges to create central-web extensions.
  • Bolt holes, or openings, that are provided appropriately in the flanges in the angle-iron-like components in a column, and as well as in the end central-web extensions in a beam, are employed with nut-and-bolt assemblies to complete an anchored assembly between a column and a beam.
  • the column and beam directly engage one another through a frictional interface wherein the level of frictional engagement is nut-and-bolt adjustable.
  • the lower-most opening provided in an I-beam's web-end projection takes the form of an open-bottomed hook which, during quick, preliminary assembly of a frame structure, extends into the open, or recessed, region between flanges in a column.
  • the downwardly exposed and facing hook catches and seats onto a preliminarily entered nut-and-bolt assembly , wherein the bolt's shank extends across and spans the space between a pair of flanges to act as a catch on which this hook can seat and become gravity-set.
  • Such seating quickly introduces preliminary stabilization in a frame being assembled, and also acts to index the proper relative positions of columns and beams.
  • columns might be formed with three rather than four elongate components.
  • the included angles between legs in these elements, progressing circularly about the column's long axis might be 120°-120°-120°, 135°-135°-90°, or 180°-90°-90°. Illustrations of these arrangements, which are not exhaustive, are illustrated herein.
  • FIG. 1 Another modification area involves the configuration and structure of a cross-brace.
  • Such a configuration could, for example, take the form of a right-angle angle iron, of a tubular element, or of a welded assembly of a flat plate and an angle iron. Illustrations of theses configurations while not exhaustive, are also provided herein.
  • this abutment exists essentially at the location of one of the floor heights intended in the final building.
  • a direct structural splice is created between such end-contacting, stacked columns, such a splice being established through the nut-and-bolt connected end extension of the central web in a beam.
  • structural connections between beams and columns act, according to the invention, as connective splices or joints between adjacent, stacked columns. The amount of tightness introduced into the splice-related nut-and-bolt assemblies controls the level of frictional engagement present there between beam and column.
  • Another interesting feature of the invention involves a unique way for introducing vertical-plane cross-bracing in various upright rectangles of space that are spanned by a pair of vertically spaced beams, and by a pair of horizontally spaced columns. While different specific components can be used to act as cross-bracing structure, one form that is particularly useful, and which is illustrated herein, is that of conventional steel flat bar stock which crosses, and thus braces, such a space. Opposite ends of such bar stock are bolted in place in the recesses between confronting flanges of the angle-iron-like components in the columns.
  • the nut-and-bolt, frictional-interface connections proposed by the invention for the regions of interconnection between elongate column components and spacers, and between beams and columns, allow for limited relative sliding motions between these elements under certain load-handling circumstances. Such motions enhance the load-management capabilities of a building frame structure, and furnish a certain helpful amount of energy dissipation in the form of non-damaging heat.
  • One further arrangement proposed by the present invention involves a cross-beam connection between mid-regions of laterally next-adjacent horizontal beams.
  • Fig.1 a fragmentary portion of a multi-story building frame structure which has been constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • frame structure 21 four column stacks 22, 24, 26, 28 are shown, each of which is made up of a plurality of end-two-end, splice-joined elongate columns that are constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • the phrase "column stack” is employed herein to refer to such plural, end-connected columns, and the word “column” is employed herein to designate a single column assembly which has been built in accordance with the invention.
  • two different types of columns - - double-story and single-story - - are shown in these column stacks.
  • Extending between and joined to the columns in the several column stacks pictured in Fig. 1 are plural, horizontal beams, such as the three beams shown at 36, 38, 40. The distances between next-adjacent ones of these three beams are the same, and have the spacing of one story-height in frame structure 21.
  • Beam 36 has its near end in Fig. 1 splice-connected (still to be explained) to column stack 22 at the region of end-to-end joinder between columns 30, 32.
  • Beam 38 has its near end in Fig. 1 connected vertically centrally between the opposite (upper and lower) ends of column 32.
  • Beam 40 has its near end in Fig. 1 connected to the region of end-to-end joinder between columns 32, 34.
  • dots represent the locations of spacers, or spacer structures, which form parts in the various columns that are employed in frame structure 21.
  • spacers spacers
  • FIG. 1 shown at 42, 44 in Fig. 1 are two black dots (spacers) which form part of column 32. These two dots indicate the presence of spacers within column 32 at locations in structure 21 which are roughly midway between floors.
  • dot 42 represents a spacer which is present in column 32 generally vertically centrally between beams 36, 38.
  • Dot 44, and the spacer which it represents in column 32 resides generally vertically centrally between beams 38, 40.
  • a black dot 45 represents a spacer which is present in single-story column 34, generally vertically centrally between the upper and lower ends of column 34.
  • Clear, or open, circular dots in Fig. 1 represent the end-to-end connections between vertically adjacent columns in the respective column stacks.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate somewhat more specifically the structure of column 32, and thus also, the structures of many other ones of the various columns employed in the column stacks pictured in Fig. 1.
  • Column 32 herein is formed with four, elongate, angle-iron-like components 46, 48, 50, 52. These angle-iron-like components substantially parallel one another, and also parallel the central long axis 32 c of column 32.
  • Each of components 46, 48, 50, 52 has a right-angular cross-section formed by angularly intersecting legs, such as legs 46 a , 46 b in component 46. These legs meet at an elongate, linear corner, such as corner 46 c . Corner 46 c lies closely adjacent, and substantially parallel to, axis 32 c .
  • column 32 has a generally cross-shaped transverse cross-sectional configuration, formed in such a fashion that the legs in the angle-iron-like components essentially radiate laterally outwardly (star-like) from axis 32 c .
  • Each leg in each angle-iron-like component is spaced from, confrontive with, and generally parallel to one leg in a next-adjacent angle-iron-like component.
  • the upper end region 32 a in column 32 is furnished with aligned through-bores, such as through-bores 54 which are provided in flange 46 b .
  • these through-bores are employed for the attachment of beams, such as beam 36, and for splicing joinder to the underside of an overhead beam, such as beam 30.
  • spacer 42 is formed from two like-configured components, one of which is shown isolated at 42 a in Fig. 5A, and other of which is shown isolated at 42 b in Fig. 5B. These spacer components are centrally notched so that they can be fit together as shown in Fig. 4, and the outward extensions of components 42 a , 42 b are provided with through-bores, such as bores 56 shown in component 42 b .
  • Spacer 42 is placed generally longitudinally centrally between beams 36, 38, and between the confronting legs of column components 46, 48, 50, 52. It is bolted there in place through appropriate nut-and-bolt assemblies, such as the assembly shown at 58 in Fig. 3, and through suitable accommodating through-bores (not shown) provided in the legs in components 46, 48, 50, 52.
  • Spacer 44 is similarly positioned in column 32 vertically centrally between beams 38, 40. When in place, the spacers space apart the angle-iron-like components in the column with what can be thought of as the centerlines of these spacers aligned with previously mentioned column axis 32 c .
  • the thickness of each of components 42 a , 42 b is about equal to the thickness of the central web portions of the beams which are employed in the building frame structure of Fig. 1.
  • each column the angle-iron-like components, the spacer, or spacers which hold these apart, and the nut-and-bolt assemblies (and related through-bores) which bind all together, are toleranced in such a manner, that there is present in the region associated with each spacer a friction interface.
  • This interface can allow for a certain small amount of relative longitudinal motion (along the long axes of the columns) between these elements.
  • the amount of tightness introduced into the nut-and-bolt assemblies dictates the level of frictional engagement, which is thus selectable and adjustable. The significance of this feature of the invention will be more fully discussed shortly.
  • An assembled column like column 32, thus takes the form of an assembly of four, right-angle, angle-iron-like components disposed as described and illustrated relative to one another, and held together through nut-and-bolt assemblies which clamp the angle-iron-like components onto the spacers, such as spacers 42, 44.
  • a consequence of this construction is that there are openings or recesses laterally outwardly facing along the length of column 32, defined, in part, by the spacings which exist between the confronting legs in the angle-iron-like components.
  • angle-iron-like components 46, 48, 50, 52 are represented fragmentarily as spaced elements.
  • dashed lines 60, and a dashed arrow 62 show angle-iron-like component 48 slightly upwardly shifted from its solid outline position relative to the other three angle-iron-like components 46, 50, 52.
  • dash-double-dot lines 64, and dash-double-dot arrow 66 illustrate upward shifting of angle-iron-like component 50 relative to components 46, 48, 52.
  • Beam 36 includes a central web 36 a , and upper and lower flanges 36 b , 36 c , respectively. As can be seen, short portions of the end regions of flanges 36 b , 36 c , have been removed to create and expose what is referred herein as an extension 36 d in and from central web 36 a .
  • extension 36 d Provided in extension 36 d are three vertically spaced through-bores 36 e , and a downwardly facing through-bore-like hook 36 f . How this modified form of an otherwise conventional I-beam functions in the setting of the present invention will be described shortly.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates at 68 an alternative beam construction contemplated for use in and with respect to the present invention.
  • Beam 68 has been formed from an otherwise conventional channel member having a central web 68 a , and upper and lower flanges 68 b , 68 c , respectively. End portions of the upper and lower flanges have been removed as shown to create and expose an extension 68 d from central web 68 a .
  • Extension 68 d like previously mentioned beam extension 36 d in Fig. 6, includes three through-bores 68 e , and a through-bore-like hook 68 f . It will become very apparent shortly, without further direct discussion, how channel beam 68 can be used alternately with I-beam structure 36.
  • Figs. 18 and 19 illustrate modified forms of star-like-cross-section column construction contemplated by the present invention.
  • a column 70 which has a kind of three-sided configuration formed by angle-iron-like components 72, 74, 76.
  • Components 72, 74, 76 include paired, angularly intersecting, elongate legs, such as legs 72 a , 72 b , which meet at an elongate linear corner, such as corner 72 c that substantially parallels and is slightly spaced from the long axis 70 a of column70.
  • the included angle in each of the three angle-iron-like components between the paired legs therein is about 120-degrees.
  • Suitable spacer structures act between components 72, 74, 76 in column 70 in much the same manner that a spacer, like spacer 42, acts between column components, such as components 46, 48, 50, 52 previously discussed. Joinder between spacer structures and angle-iron-like components is also similar to that previously described with respect to column 32.
  • Fig.19 there is shown generally at 80 yet another column structure which has a kind of three-way configuration somewhat like that pictured for column 70 in Fig. 18.
  • the same set of reference numerals employed for the several components pictured in Fig. 18 for column 70 are also employed in similar locations and for similar components in column 80 in Fig. 19.
  • the principal difference between column 80 and column 70 is that, in column 80, the angularly intersecting legs in two of the angle-iron-like components possess an included angle of about 135-degrees, and the third angle-iron-like component has legs possessing an included angle of about 90-degrees.
  • Fig. 8 illustrates, in much greater detail, that region within building structure 21 which includes columns 30, 32 and beams 36, 38.
  • the columns and beams shown are fully assembled with respect to one another, with end region 36 d in beam 36 generating an end-two-end splice between the adjacent ends of columns 30, 32, and with the end region in beam 38 joined through nut-and-bolt assemblies to a region in column 32 which is generally longitudinally centrally between its opposite ends.
  • column 32 has a length which essentially spans the dimension of two stories in frame structure 21. As can generally be seen in Fig.
  • a nut-and-bolt pattern which involves four nut-and-bolt assemblies is employed at the region of joinder between columns 30, 32 and beam 36.
  • the end of beam 36 is attached to legs in column components 46, 48 also utilizing a four nut-and-bolt pattern of nut-and-bolt assemblies.
  • the attached end region in beam 36 includes three through-bores and a downwardly facing hook.
  • the end region in beam 38 includes three through-bores and also a downwardly facing hook.
  • cross-bracing structure including a pair of bar-stock-configured cross-braces 82, 84. These two cross-braces span the rectangular area which is bounded by beams 36, 38, and by columns 32, 35.
  • the ends of the cross braces extend through and between the spaces/recesses provided between the legs in the angle-iron-like components, and are suitably anchored there as by nut-and-bolt assemblies generally located at the regions in Fig. 8 shown at 86, 88.
  • Cross-braces 82, 84 essentially lie in a common plane shared with the long axes of beam 36, 38, as well as with the long axis of column 32.
  • Fig. 9 illustrates the conditions of various components just prior to inter-connection of beam 36 with columns 30, 32.
  • the upper end of column 32 is prepared preliminarily with the presence of a nut-and-bolt assembly 90 wherein the shank of the bolt extends through the lower-most ones of the through-bores provided in angle-iron-like components 46, 48.
  • Column 30 does not yet occupy its solid outline position in Fig. 9, but rather may be poised and spaced upwardly in the dash-dot outline position pictured in Fig. 9.
  • the end of beam 36 which includes central-web extension 36 d is advanced toward the recess between angle-iron-like components 46, 48, and is introduced into proper position as illustrated by curved arrow 92. This involves insertion of extension 36 d between components 46, 48, and hooking, employing gravity, hook 36 f onto the shank of the bolt in nut-and-bolt assembly 90.
  • Beam 36 is then oriented so that its long axis is substantially orthogonal with respect to the long axis of column 32, and column 30 is lowered toward and into its solid outline position in Fig. 9.
  • appropriate line-up occurs between the through-bores provided in beam extension 36 d , in the upper end of column 32, and in the lower end of column 30, so as to permit the insertion and tightening of nut-and-bolt assemblies with respect to the other illustrated through-bores.
  • Fig. 13 illustrates somewhat the same process of interconnection that takes place between beam 38 and the vertical mid-region of column 32.
  • Base-plate structure 94 includes a generally horizontal plate 96, on the upper surface of which there is welded a cross-structure 98.
  • This cross-structure is essentially a replica of a spacer structure like that described for spacer 42.
  • the cross-structure receives the lower end of the lower-most column in stack 22, with the confronting spaced legs of that column, at its lower end, receiving the cross-structure.
  • Appropriate nut-and-bolt assemblies (not shown) anchor things in place at this base-plate structure.
  • Figs. 16 and 17 illustrate very schematically yet another facet of the present invention. Specifically what is shown in a comparative manner in these two figures is the difference which exists with respect to walls (having a thickness W) brought together at a corner within a building under circumstances with a conventional rectangular tube-like column (Fig. 16) employed, and with a cross-shaped column (Fig. 17) provided in accordance with the present invention.
  • a conventional, hollow, rectangular, square-cross-section column 100 is pictured along with four interior walls structures 102, 104, 106, 108.
  • the corners of column 100 protrude and are exposed. In order not to have these corners protrude, the wall thicknesses would have to be larger, and larger wall thicknesses translates into lesser usable floor space in a finished building.
  • a cross-beam connection (one end only) is illustrated fragmentarily between a pair of orthogonally related beams 110, 112 which may form a part of the frame structure pictured at 21 in Fig. 1.
  • a longitudinal central region in beam 110 has attached (by bolting) to opposite sides of its central web 110 a two pairs of right-angle brackets, such as the pair containing brackets 114, 116.
  • Brackets 114, 116 include spaced, parallel confronting legs 114 a, 116 a , respectively, which are spaced_apart (in the illustration now being described) with essentially the same spacing provided for the legs in previously discussed angle-iron-like components 46, 48, 50, 52.
  • a four through-bore pattern including bores such as the two shown at 118, is provided in legs 114 a , 116 a .
  • a nut-and-bolt assembly 120 is fitted into the lower-most opposing through-bores, with the shank of the bolt spanning the space between legs 114 a , 116 a .
  • the fragmentally visible but yet unattached, end of beam 112 is prepared with a matchingly through-bore central web extension 112 a , wherein the lower-most through-bore is actually a hook 112 b which is like previously mentioned hook 36 f .
  • Full attachment of beams 110,112 is accomplished in somewhat the same manner described above for column-beam attachment.
  • Fig. 21 illustrates the cross section of a modified column 130 which, for elongate components, includes a flat plate 132, and two right-angle angle-iron-like elements 134,136. One spacer structure associated with these elements is shown at 138.
  • Fig. 22 illustrates at 140 another modified-cross-section column including a channel member 142, and two right-angle angle-iron-like components 144,146. A spacer for these components is shown at 148.
  • Fig. 23 shows a modified cross-brace construction 150 which is made up of the welded combination of a flat plate 152 and an angle iron 154.
  • Fig. 24 shows at 156 another modified form of a cross-brace, which here takes the shape of a conventional right-angle angle iron..
  • Fig. 25 shows at 158 still another modified cross-brace form which has a rectilinear, tubular configuration.
  • the special features of the present invention are thus fully illustrated and described.
  • the column and beam components of the present invention which can readily be created using standard structural cross sections, allow for extremely easy, intuitive and unfailingly accurate on-site assembly and construction.
  • Nut-and-bolt interconnectors which are essentially all that are required fully to assemble a building frame from these components, establish all necessary connections and joints without welding. Regions of joinder between columns and beams are promoted where end portions of beams create load-managing splices between vertically stacked, adjacent columns. Similar connections exist from beam-to-beam.
  • Plural-element assembled columns in various different producible configurations, present distinctly smaller gravitational footprints than do comparable gravitational load-capacity tubular columns.
  • Interconnected columns, beams and cross-braces deliver and handle loads essentially in common upright planes containing their respective longitudinal axes. Relative motion, energy dissipating, frictional interconnections exist (a) within columns, (b) between columns, beams and cross-braces, and (c) from beam-to-beam to offer appropriate and forgiving responses to severe loads delivered to a building.
