Abstract

A storm resistant building has a frame 1, constituted of two or more oval, circular or other shaped steel beam structures 2, each complete in itself or conjoined at the top 3, and bottom 4, by drilling screws 5. Each beam structures being sectioned into up to eight parts and reinforced by steel lengths from one side to the other 6. Each beam structure is attached to the others by steel lengths, at the base 7, at the top 8, and at the sides 9. The lower half of the structure is underground 10, and its base covered by impervious rocks 11, these being covered by dense landfill 12. Additional landfill is inserted between the frameâ s lower sides and the adjacent earth 13, additional positional supports are arranged at intervals along the external lower sides of the frame 14. A series of vertical pilings 15 may be provided. The building's walls may be slotted into the I-beam structures and constituted of pre-cut hardwood, plastic panels, concrete or solar pvc glass 16. Roofing material may be of solar pvc laminate 17. The building's flooring may be positioned over and attached to the steel lengths reinforcing and pining the oval, circular or other shaped structures 18.

Description

A Storm Resistant Building Frame Increasing wind speeds due to elevated atmospheric temperatures make storm resistant buildings a necessity on exposed terrain and advisable worldwide As new builds, they are a belier alternative than installing storm proof shelters because property and livestock may also be saved in storm conditions, and at no extra cost, the design being no more expensive than that of similarly sized homes, agricultural buildings and storage and industrial units.
The design is comprised of a steel frame, constitUted of two or more oval, circular or other shaped 1-beam structures, the lower halves of these being submerged underground, which, in the case of the oval shapes, is also the wider part. Each structure is attached to the others by lengths of stel at the top, the base and the sides, and each structure is individually made more stable by lengths of steel positioned across them below ground, at ground level, and, if applicable, at the first and second floor levels. Each structure may be manufactured as complete or, if assembte� from two sections, be joined at the base and the top by drilling screws. (In the larger models, these structures may be constituted of as many as eight sections, and the upper half of the frame shaped to meet individual requirements) The frame's stability is further compounded by positioning an appropriate amont of impervious rocks over the conjoining steel lengths at its base, and covering these with dense landfill, and also by. infilling the gaps between the frame and the adjacent terrain. Additional underground positional supports or pilings may be arranged at intervals along the lower part of the frama Pre-cut hard wood1 reinforced plastic panels pr concrete applications may be slotted into the 1-beam structures to constitute the building's walls, and these structures, if positioned at the endwalls,are selected for dual direction applications. Some of the wall panels may be constituted of solar pvc glass, and additional ?oofing material may be constituted of solar pvc laminate or similar pvc technology. AdditiOnal facades may be applied as appropriate.
The building's flooring is positioned over and attached to the steel lengths reinforcing each oval, circular or Other shaped structure, and also to the steel lengths joining one structure to another, with additional steel lengths positioned as required. 2.
The invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings:-Figure 1 shows the storm resistant building frame iii its oval shaped presentation.
Figure 2 shows rocks and landfill positioned over the steel length attaching one oval sttucture's base to another, with adjacent landfill and a support on one external lower side, and two pilings extending vertically if the terrain requires them.
Figure 3 shows a portion of the building's panel walls as slotted into thel-. beams structure, and a portion of the solar pvc laminate roofing material.
Figure 4 shows a portion of flooring as attached to the steel lengths reinforcing and joining the oval, circular or other shaped structures.
In Figure 1 there is a storm resistant building frame, constituted of twO oval shaped steel I-beam structures 2, conjoined at the top 3, and bottom 4, by drilling screws 5, and reinforced by steel lengths from one side of each structure to the other 6, and each oval structure being attached to the other by steel lengths, at the base 7, the top 8, and the sides 9, and their lower halves being underground 10.
In Figure 2 there are rocks positioned over the steel lengths at the frame's base 11, these being covered by landfifl 12, and with additional landfill inserted between the frame's lower sides and the adjacent terrain 13, and with an additional support on the frame's external lower side 14, and two pilings extending vertically 15.
In Figure 3 there is a portion of the bUilding's walls as slotted into theTj.-beam's oval structure 161 and a portion of the solar pvc laminate roofing material 17.
In Figure 4 there is a portion of flooring as attached to the steel lengths reinforcing aqd joining the oval structures 18.
