Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a structure realized according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the structure according to the preamble of claim 1 is the usual structure of lattice members known in the prior art. Such lattices are usually used for making supporting structures and for making the frame of buildings and/or houses. Their particular configuration allows structures that are strong, but light at the same time, to be obtained, due to the ratio of the volume to the hollow parts of each lattice member.
  • lattices are often made with three or four elongated members such to create triangular and square section structures respectively, where the elongated members are connected one to the other by connecting members.
  • lattices allow structures even of large size to be made by the connection of one or more lattices, which generally occurs by fastening a lattice to another one by means of fastening means such as screws, bolts or the like, for the end connection of one lattice to the one coupled thereto.
  • the joints among lattices are often a particularly delicate aspect, since they generate discontinuity areas due to the interface between one lattice and another one, where the whole structure has a very lower strength.
  • the connecting members between the elongated members are fastened to elongated members by means of screws or the like, that is through joining interfaces that tend to yield due to repeated fatigue cycles.
  • the first type relates to a structure that is self-supporting, namely it has not to be connected to other structures for standing, structures that are necessary for the stability of secondary type structures.
  • the invention achieves the above objects by providing a lattice member as described above and according to the carachterising part of claim 1.
  • a hollow area is interposed between a connecting member and another one, such to form in the space between the two elongated members a pattern that provides the alternation of solid connecting members and hollow areas.
  • such insertion allows two lattice members to be coupled, such to make complicated structures, such that the connection between the two members is obtained by an interlocking action allowing the weight and stresses acting on the interface area between the two members to be better transferred.
  • fastening is accomplished preferably by means of a third element that connects the two lattice members, but the fastening is never made only between the two lattice members, that is by fastening one lattice to another one.
  • a particularly advantageous aspect of the structure object of the present invention is the modularity and the facility of making supporting structures or buildings by means of different configurations and connections of lattice members having all the same dimensions.
  • the placing side by side of two or more lattice members occurs with lattice members having the same dimensions, but the superimposition of two or more lattice members, along the elongated members, can occur with lattice members having the same dimensions or different dimensions.
  • This aspect is particularly advantageous in order to adapt the structure that is to be generated to the available spaces.
  • a variant embodiment of the lattice member consequently provides a plurality of connecting members, each connecting member being arranged spaced by a specific constant amount with respect to the connecting members adjacent thereto.
  • the at least two elongated members and the connecting members are made of metallic material.
  • the connecting members are preferably welded to the elongated members, therefore no fastening means are provided, of the screw type or the like, between the connecting members and the fastening means.
  • a variant embodiment provides the two or more connecting members to be made as a sheet element, of any shape.
  • Such sheet element is inserted between the two elongated members, preferably by welding and it has the advantage of being easily fastenable. Since the sheet has a limited thickness a welding for each elongated member is enough for fastening both the faces of the sheet element, therefore a welding for each elongated member and for each face is not required, as it usually occurs, achieving facility and rapidity in the processing.
  • a preferred variant embodiment provides the sheet element to have two narrowings of which a first narrowing in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the at least two elongated members and a second narrowing according to a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the at least two elongated members, such to have a "X" shape.
  • the "X" shape allows stresses to be better distributed and transferred, both compressive, shear or tension ones, that act on the lattice member, as it will be described below.
  • the sheet element can also be made with any shape, but preferably symmetric shapes are used, as the "X" shape just described. Concerning this it is possible to make the sheet element as an ellipse element that at the diagonals has projections intended to weld the ellipse element to the elongated members.
  • connecting members can be composed of a tubular and/or box- shaped element extending along a path having two opposite bends, such to have an overturned "z" shape.
  • the elongated members can be provided preferably as tubular or box- shaped elements, such to increase the lightness of the whole lattice member and to increase even the stiffness thereof.
  • the lattice member object of the present invention to have three or four or more elongated members such to obtain a triangular, square or polygonal section.
  • the change of the section does not affect the properties just described of the lattice, in particular it is always possible to make hollow areas wherein further lattice members of any shape or further structural elements can be inserted such as beams or the like.
  • the invention further relates to a self-supporting modular structure for building houses, buildings or the like, composed of a foundation structure, a covering structure of the type as a roof or the like and a superstructure, interposed between the covering structure and the foundation structure.
  • a self-supporting modular structure for building houses, buildings or the like, composed of a foundation structure, a covering structure of the type as a roof or the like and a superstructure, interposed between the covering structure and the foundation structure.
  • Such superstructure is composed of a plurality of pillars, supporting at least one floor, wherein said at least one floor is composed of one or more intersections of the lattice members made according to what previously described.
  • the floor is obtained by arranging the lattice members as described, along a horizontal plane, parallel to the longitudinal plane of its own elongated members, and by inserting one or more lattice members or further structural elements into the areas delimited between two connecting members of further one or more lattice members.
  • intersections of two lattice members, of which a first and a second lattice member, are obtained by inserting the first lattice member into said hollow area delimited by the at least two connecting members of the second lattice member.
  • the interface area between the two lattice members is given by the contact area therebetween, which however is obtained by interlocking a lattice into the other one, and not by means of fastening means that join a lattice to another one.
  • the stresses acting on the structure do not mainly act on the fastening means of the two lattice members, but on the members themselves, that are more strong, therefore giving the structure a higher strength, above all in case of the action of repeated stresses, as seismic movements.
  • the relative movement between the first and the second lattice members is prevented by means of fastening joints intended to fasten the first lattice member to the second lattice member or vice versa.
  • the pillars of the structure object of the present invention can be obtained by combining the lattice members described up to now.
  • At least two lattice members of which a first and a second lattice members, can be placed side by side, such that both the elongated members of the first lattice member are in contact with a corresponding elongated member of the second lattice member.
  • the at least two lattice members are placed side by side such that the first lattice member is staggered with respect to the second lattice member, forming a pair of two lattice members.
  • said pillar can be composed of a sequence of pairs of two lattice members, arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the elongated members, fastening means being provided intended to fasten a pair of lattice members to the corresponding one.
  • the side by side staggered arrangement as described therefore allows discontinuity regions at the connection of two or more lattices along the longitudinal axis thereof to be eliminated, without generating interfaces created only by fastening means that risk being broken if subjected to tensile stresses.
  • a variant embodiment provides the pillars of the structure to be made according to different modes for combining the lattice members, which are all object of the present invention and that will be better described in the description of the figures.
  • the important advantage is that structures and/or buildings are generated by using only one module, that is the lattice member that is used according to different configurations, thus oversize loads are eliminated and the production is optimized, it being further possible to assemble and recreate, for example by lengthening and shortening in situ, all the structural elements necessary for making the building.
  • reinforced concrete is not necessary anymore and it can be used only for the foundation structures, if the latter are not made of a different material.
  • interlockings and the modularity allow a great versatility even for positioning windows, doors or the like, guaranteeing an optimal transfer of the weight and absorption of the stresses acting on the structure at the discontinuity areas that often are delicate and critical points when building structures.
  • a further important advantage of the self-supporting modular structure object of the present invention is the possibility of disassembling such structure while keeping the several components intact and ready to be used again for building further self-supporting structures.
  • the present invention finally relates to a method for the prefabricated building of a building, structure or the like providing the following steps:
  • the step providing to make one or more floors is obtained by interlocking in a load-supporting manner at least two lattice members, of which a first lattice member and a second lattice member, the interlocking being in turn accomplished by inserting the first lattice member into the hollow area delimited by the at least two connecting members of the second lattice member.
  • the step making one or more pillars is obtained by placing side by side at least two lattice members, of which a first and a second lattice members, such that both the elongated members of the first lattice member are in contact with a corresponding elongated member of the second lattice member, the first lattice member being staggered with respect to the second lattice member.
  • a variant embodiment provides a following method step for installing the walls, obtained by interlocking a plurality of lattice members arranged between one floor and the other one according to directions parallel and perpendicular to the floors themselves.
  • the walls are the most weak point since they generally are made of tile, while the pillars in reinforced concrete and the interface area between the two materials has a discontinuity region where for instance the seismic stresses act deterioring the structure causing walls to collapse.
  • lattice members interlocked one with the other and in communication with the floors and the pillars for making the walls, allow walls integral to pillars to be made preventing them to collapse in case of earthquake.
  • Figure 1 shows the lattice member 1 composed of two elongated members 11 arranged parallel along their longitudinal axis and spaced from each other. Between the two elongated members 11 there are provided two connecting members 12 intended to connect an elongated member 11 to the other elongated member 11. The two connecting members 12 are arranged spaced from each other along the direction of the longitudinal axis of the elongated members 11.
  • connecting members 12 are successively arranged along the direction of the longitudinal axis of the elongated members 11 such to form a hollow area 13.
  • connecting members 12 that can be arranged at any distance from each other, a distance that changes depending on structural needs.
  • the connecting members 12 are arranged always at the same distance from each other, but in a single lattice member 1 the connecting members can be envisaged to be arranged at different distances from each other.
  • the hollow area 13 is delimited at the top and at the bottom by the two elongated members 11 and at the sides by the connecting members 11.
  • the hollow area 13 is intended for the insertion of further lattice members 1, beams and/or further structural elements along a direction incident to the longitudinal axis of the two elongated members 11.
  • figure 2 shows how a lattice member 1 can be inserted into the hollow area 13 of a further lattice member 1.
  • the two lattice members 1 have a plurality of connecting members 12, all arranged at the same distance from each other, forming a plurality of hollow areas 13.
  • the lattice member 1 is inserted, which preferably has a height, that is a distance between the outer surfaces of the elongated members 11 equal to or slightly lower than the height of the hollow area 13 of the other lattice member 1.
  • the lattice member 1 is inserted into the hollow area 13 of the other lattice member 1, such that the elongated members 11 of the first lattice member 1 are arranged vertically, but it is possible to insert the first lattice member 1 even with the elongated members 11 arranged horizontally, such as it is possible to insert any structural element into the hollow area 13 of the second lattice member 1, such to consider the preferred configuration depending on structural needs.
  • the elongated members 11 and the connecting members 12 are preferably made of metallic material, but depending on structural needs it is possible to provide them to be made of any material.
  • Figs. 3a and 3b show the lattice member according to a further variant embodiment and according to a longitudinal plane and a sectional plane of the member respectively.
  • the connecting members 12 are composed of a sheet member 12 connecting the two elongated members 11.
  • such sheet member 12 has two narrowings, of which a first narrowing 121 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the two elongated members 11 and a second narrowing 122 according to a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the two elongated members 11.
  • the connecting member 12 of figure 2a therefore has a "X" shape and it is possible to increase the thickness of the material composing the sheet member 12 just at the arms 123 and 124 of such "X" shape such to improve the properties of strength and transfer of the stresses acting on the whole lattice member 1.
  • Variant embodiments provide the possibility for the sheet member 12 to have only one narrowing, or not to have them at all, the shape shown in figures 3a and 3b is the preferred one, but it has not to be intended as a limitation, since in the most general case the connecting members 12 are simply composed of a sheet member, of any shape.
  • Figures 4a and 4b show the lattice member of the present invention according to the variant embodiment shown in figure 1 and according to a longitudinal plane and a sectional plane of the member respectively.
  • the connecting members 12 are composed of a tubular and/or box- shaped member extending along a path having two opposite bends, such to have an onverturned "z" shape.
  • the connecting member shown in figure 4a is a tubular element that starting from an elongated member 11 belonging to a lattice member 1, extends vertically with a first portion 125 up to the elongated member 11 opposite to the original elongated member 11, then by a second slanting portion 126 it extends up to the original elongated member 11, from where it extends again vertically with a third portion 127 towards the elongated member 11 opposite to the original one.
  • Figure 4b shows the section of such variant embodiment according to a plane vertical to the lattice member 1.
  • connection of two lattice members 1 having the connecting members 12 as described in figure 4a can preferably take place by placing the two lattice members 1 side by side superimposing the connecting members 12 of each lattice member 1 in a mirror-like manner, namely such that the two slanting portions 126 of the connecting members 12 form a "X".
  • the lattice members as previously described are combined in order to make self-supporting modular structures for building houses, buildings or the like.
  • Such structures are mainly composed of a foundation structure, a covering structure of the type as a roof or the like and a superstructure, interposed between the covering structure and the foundation structure.
  • the superstructure is composed of a plurality of pillars, intended to support at least one floor.
  • the floor is composed of one or more intersections of the lattice members 1 and each single intersection of two lattice members 1, of which a first and a second lattice member, is obtained by inserting the first lattice member into the hollow area 13 delimited by the at least two connecting members 12 of the second lattice member, such as shown in figure 2 .
  • the several intersections and/or insertions of the two lattice members 1 allow a structure with high properties of strength and transfer of the stresses acting on the whole structure to be obtained, without the need of using joints intended to help in transferring and absorbing the stresses acting on the interaction between the two lattice members 1.
  • One embodiment of the structure of the present invention provides to use fastening joints, that however act only for eliminating or limiting the relative movement between the first and the second lattice members.
  • Such joints can be of any type, but due to explanatory and not limitative reasons, a possible embodiment is shown in figure 5 .
  • Figure 5 shows the two lattice members 1 inserted one into the other one according to modes already described and whose relative movement is prevented by using a multi-hole angle square 3 composed of two sheet elements 31 and 32, such that each sheet element 31 and 32 is fastened to the first and second lattice members respectively.
  • the sheet element 31 has one or more holes 311 that allow the square 3 to be fastened to the elongated member 11 of the first lattice member 1 by means of fastening screws 312, similarly the second sheet element 32 has one or more holes 321 allowing the square 3 to be fastened to the elongated member 11 of the second lattice member 1 by means of fastening screws 322.
  • the two sheet elements 31 and 32 form an angle of 90°, but it is possible to provide them to have different angles, due to the interlocking type of the two lattice members 1.
  • the pillars of the structure object the present invention can be obtained by placing at least two lattice members 1 side by side, of which a first and a second lattice members, such that both the elongated members of the first lattice member are in contact with a corresponding elongated member of the second lattice member.

  • self-threading screws is preferable than screw and bolt connection, since once the self-threading screw 4 is tightened it puts under tension the two lattice members without the need of using a bolt that would make the assembly complicated and moreover it is possible to distribute the stress on a wider surface, due also to the use of plate-like elements that will be described below.
  • such self-threading screws 4 are composed of a first portion 41 having a smooth outer surface and a second portion 42 having a threaded outer surface.

  • Such covering structure is composed of one or more lattice members that are placed side by side for forming the ridgepole 9 of the roof.
  • the ridgepole 9 is connected along a direction perpendicular to its own longitudinal axis to a plurality of lattice members that constitute the pitch beams 91 and 92.
  • each pitch beam can be composed of one or more lattice members, such as for the ridgepole 9 and the pillars described above.
  • Each pitch beam 91 and 92 has a "tie” element surrounding in a transverse direction the whole outer surface of each pitch beam, such that the "tie” element of the pitch beam 91 is connected to the "tie” element of the pitch beam 92 by a tightening element 93.
  • Such tightening element 93 allows the inclination of the pitch beams to be adjusted and it further allows the whole weight of the roof structure to be transferred, without it resting on the perimetral walls of the whole structure.
  • the covering structure does not transfer the weight axially on the perimetral walls.
  • Figure 9 shows according to a possible embodiment, a view of a structure made by the combination of several lattice members object of the present invention.
  • Such structure is only by way of example, starting from such example it is possible to make more complicated structures than that shown in figure 9 .
  • the structure is composed of two floors 21 made by inserting several lattice members 210 inside the hollow areas of one or more lattice members 211 arranged perpendicularly to the lattices 210.
  • the two floors 21 are supported by two pillars 22 obtained by placing side by side three lattice members 211 according to the modes previously described, such that the end part of the lattice members 211 is inserted into a corresponding hollow area 13 of the lattices 221.
  • a plurality of lattice members 222 is arranged between the two floors 21, such that such lattices 222 are parallel to each other and each one with their end parts fastened to the elongated members of the lattices 211.
  • the lattices 222 are fastened to the lattices 211 by means of the fastening means described, or by interlocking them, that is causing the distance between the two elongated members of the lattice 222 to be a distance higher than or equal to the width of the elongated member of the lattice 211.
  • one or more lattice members 212 are inserted into the hollow areas of the lattices 221 and lattices 222 along a direction perpendicular thereto, such that the wall is composed of a grid- like structure having the lattice members interlaced forming hollow spaces 230.
  • hollow spaces 230 with elements made of any material, but preferably covering panels with a fiber glass weaving are used.
  • Figure 10 shows how the combination of the lattice members 1 of the present invention allows a self-supporting modular structure to be made.
  • the figure shows how it is possible to make primary structures, that is self-supporting structures that do not need further structures for standing, structures that are necessary for the stability of secondary type structures.
  • the interface areas between the lattice members 1 are obtained by interlocking a lattice member 1 into the hollow area of another one, such that the first lattice member 1 is not firmly bound to the other one.
  • a further important advantage of the self-supporting modular structure of the present invention is the possibility of disassembling such structure while keeping the several components intact and ready to be used again for building further self-supporting structures.
  • the several combinations joining the lattice members 1 and the components belonging to the shown structure show how the structure object of the present invention makes an integrated system, wherein primary and secondary structures cooperate together for a single aim without the help of external interventions such as load- supporting masonry or the like.
  • figure 10 shows a self-supporting modular structure, composed of a foundation structure 2, a covering structure 9 of the roof type or the like and a superstructure, interposed between the covering structure 9 and the foundation structure 2.
  • the superstructure is composed of a plurality of pillars 22, intended to support several floors 21.
  • Each floor 21 is composed of several intersections of lattice members 1 made according to one or more of the characteristics described above.
  • intersections of the lattice members 1 are obtained by inserting a lattice member into the hollow area 13 delimited by the two connecting elements 12 of another lattice member.
  • the pillars 22 are obtained by placing side by side two lattice members 1, according to the modes described above, similarly to what relates to the making of the covering structure 9.
