Description
BUILDING Abstract of the Disclosure A building constructed from a number of prefabricated Each of the modules has solid spacing ribs on its outer which ribs cooperate with similar ribs adjacent modules to define a series of spaces between jacent The modules are stacked and arranged to a building and selected spaces defined by adjacent sets of cooperating spacing ribs are filled with poured concrete to form support columns for the This invention relates to a building construction in which a number of building modules are arranged to the Advantages of this Invention There are numerous advantages to a system in prefabricated building modules are arranged to form a building For conventional building structures require the erection of the insertion of reinforcing steel and the pouring of concrete to construct the building framework at the The modular construction of the present invention requires only a basic support underlying the entire and conventional building framework is not required or the modular building construction of the present invention obviates the problem of damage to mechanical facilities which often occurs with prior art reinforced concrete For in prior art conduit and duct work are generally stalled in the concrete forms before the concrete is Often these components will be damaged during the pouring of the and in order to repair the damage after it is necessary to tear up the In as is described with the modular building construction of the present the mechanical facilities are after the modules are in In this alterations or repairs to mechanical facilities are simplified and can be made without tearing up the in accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present the modules are cast of concrete so that all interior surfaces are completely there is no need to apply plaster or other wall surfacing to the interior walls of Such modules are and the arrangement of the modules according to the present invention provides excellent soundproof In the illustrative some of the modules are the size of a small room so that they can be finished and equipped as a complete room unit subsequent to casting these modules assembled at the site without need to install additional interior The only remaining installation required is the connecting of mechanical Various other advantages of the modular buildin construction of the present invention will become from the following description Summary of the Invention In accordance the present there is provided a building comprising a number of prefabricated building modules having a horizontal wall member and at least two vertically disposed side Each of the modules has solid means extending outwardly from the exterior surface of at least one of the opposing side to provide space between the sides of adjacent The solid spacing means each module is in contact with the adjacent modules to define chases for receiving a hardenable such as A hardenable material fills some but not all of the chases to connect adjacent modules to each other and to provide support columns for the The spacing means in the illustrative embodiment of the invention comprise ribs having the same lateral location on respective sides of When modules are placed one above the the contacting ribs of adjacent modules form continuous vertical chases for receiving the hardenable use of support columns formed by pouring a hardenable material in selected chases defined between adjacent modules is and offers a modern structure with much air space between adjacent ready access between adjacent modules is provided so that it is not necessary to drill through a thick wall if a service connection is subsequently necessar the In prior art prefabricated systems such as disclosed in Patent and French Patent require that concrete be poured to fill all air spaces between adjacent In such prior art systems the modules must be relatively close to each other otherwise the amount of concrete required to fill all air spaces would be very large and prohibitively The relative closeness of adjacent modules of such prior art systems does not allow much space for chanical and in addition limits the soundproofing qualities of the In the illustrative the exterior of the opposing sides of the modules are bevelled with respect to a vertical This expedient achieves a mechanical purchase between the modules and the hardened material between adjacent and makes it possible provide the hardened material in only selected chases between adjacent The A more detailed explanation of the invention is provided in the following description and and is illustrated in the accompanying in Figure 1 is a perspective view of a building structed in accordance with the principles of the present Figure 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of a single module about to be positioned on a base Figure 3 is an isometric partially exploded and partially in of a portion of the building of Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary end elevation of a pair of building modules in position adjacent each Figure 5 is a fragmentary end elevation of a number of building modules after they have been arranged and stacked to form a portion of a building Figure is a side elevation of a building struction with the modules in Figure 7 is an enlarged fragmentary side taken partially in of a portion of the building construction of Figure Figure 8 is a top sectional view of a portion of one floor of a building of Figure Figure is an enlarged fragmentary end elevation of four adjacent modules in position with reepect to each other with a transverse beam being and 10 is an enlarged fragmentary side elevation of a floor and ceiling connection according to the principles of the present Description of Specific Embodiment The buildin 20 illustrated in Figure 1 is formed of a number of modules 22 which are stacked vertically and aligned Each of these modules 22 is formed of reinforced concrete and has solid spacing ribs 26 and 28 seen Figures integrally cast therewith and extendin outwardly from the side walls and top wall 3 The spacing ribs of each module have the same lateral location on respective side walls and and on top wall In this spacing ribs of adjacent modules can be placed in contact with each other and vertical chases will be formed between adjacent Such chases provide air space to achieve soundproofing qualities and also within selected chases there is poured concrete when provides support columns for the The internal corners and 39 are coved to achieve maximum The external surfaces 40 and 41 of side 30 and 32 are bevelled with respect to a vertical as shown most clearly in Figure This expedient is useful to provide a positive mechanical purchase when the concrete is poured between the side walls of adjacent In the illustrative the spacing ribs on the top wall of the modules contact the flat undersurface of the module directly The air spaces between vertically adjacent provide excellent soundproofin qualities and mechanical facilities can be provided in both the vertical and horizontal chases formed between adjacent If concrete may be poured to fill some of the horizontal As shown in Figure inserts 46 are provided to close the openings defined by vertically adjacent Trim 47 is connected the otherwise exposed ends of inserts 46 at building to provide an attractive As best seen in Figures 4 and the walls of each define four apertures which extend the entire length of the and are preferably located near the corners formed by adjoining walls of the These apertures are provided in a manner so that when modules are aligned end to the apertures defined by module will register with the apertures by the adjacent modulesj thereby providing openings for tie rods 60 Figure connecting to end modules to each Nuts 62 are screwed onto the ends the tie rods to retain them within the Such tie rods provide additional support for the Where a hallway is floor planks 66 and planks may be inserted as shown most clearly in Figures 3 and floor and ceiling planks also define apertures for receiving the tie rods and the ends 69 of the planlcs are cemented to the ends of the contacting modules A typical floor plan is illustrated in in which twelve modules are aligned provide an efficiency a apartment 70 includes a living area a dining entrance hall 80 and a bathroom The apartment includes a living room area a kitchen two bedrooms an entrance hall two bathrooms 93 a large closet and a balcony 96 The modular units are formed by pouring concrete into molds in which are positioned the necessary reinforcing steel After the modular units are certain special including kitchen and bathroom counter plumbing heating and windows and ceramic lighting are The module can now be shipped the site of construction and it can be placed in a predetermined position with all of the interior fixtures already in The construction of the building commences with the preparation of the underlying support structure as shown most clearly in Figure In the embodiment structure 42 is poured in monolithic The first module is then set in and any mechanical facilities which are to be connected to the first unit or adjoining units are set in Reinforcing steel is set in the areas in which structural columns will In some transverse beams are To this some of the modules are formed with sections of the spacing ribs as shown in Figure In this when two rows of modules have been mold members 101 and 102 are placed in opening 100 at the bottom reinforcing rode 103 are placed in the and concrete in the opening to provide transverse beams To facilitate placement of the mold member 101 may be trapezoidal in cross section and member 102 may be a parallelogram in cross They may be formed of any suitable Once the first unit is set in adjacent units are then set around Concrete is thereupon poured in the where reinforcing has previously been to form support columns Additional units are subsequently as called for in the As a specific in the illustrated of the the modules are twelve feet wide by eight feet high by ten feet These dimensions can of course be
