Description

i A STRUCTURE SYSTEM FOR BUILDINGS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a structure system for buildings. More particularly, the invention relates to structure members, structure assemblies that incorporate the structure members and structure buildings that incorporate the structure assemblies. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the past, many metal structure systems have been proposed to take advantage of the exact fabrication that can be achieved with the metal constructions. These systems of metal structures have the potential to simplify construction methods and provide accuracy, which is not easily obtained with a brick, concrete construction or wood. Metal structures also have the advantage that rigid perimeter structures can be constructed without the need for diagonal shoring. Typically, this rigidity is associated with welded joints between the horizontal and vertical members of the structure. This is not particularly convenient for manufacturing using coated metal structure members or P1747 / 99MX galvanized. Although the desired stiffness can be achieved by joints held together with bumps or screws, most systems proposed to date do not provide the desired degree of simplicity and / or versatility to become a popular alternative compared to a wooden structure construction. The applicant is aware of the steel buildings that are used for storage warehouses and their like, which are made by joining steel structures. The structures have a base section and raised sections that rise from both sides of this base section, thus forming a rectangle of open ends. Typically, this structure is treated to resist oxidation. However, the on-site coupling of the horizontal members with the vertical members is not easily achieved.

Some form of pressure machine is required, which, in turn, requires the transfer of heavy machinery to the construction site. Alternatively, the structures are welded together. However, in order to weld them, it is necessary that the two structures are placed perpendicular to one another and, therefore, welding becomes more complicated. In addition, welding damages the oxidation prevention treatment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The structures 23 of this invention include rectangular structures, as illustrated in Figure 10 and are formed from four members of structure 11, 12 coupled together at their corners by bolted joints 22 as illustrated in the Figures 8 and 9. It will be appreciated that each member of structure 11, 12 is essentially identical in section, however, the vertical members 12 are formed to fit tightly within the horizontal members 11, as will be apparent from the following description . Each member of structure 11, 12 has a central channel section opening in one face of the respective structure member and side channel sections adjacent thereto and an opening to the other face of the respective frame member 11, 12. As illustrated in Figures 1 to 7, the members of structure 11, 12 are formed by folding or rolling of blank 1, with right angle bends along bending lines 2a to 2f.

P1747 / 99MX The targets for the vertical structure members 11 are slotted 6 in from each end along the fold lines 2c and 2d in the central 3d panel to form a tongue 7. When the members of structure 12 adopt its shape, the tongues 7 are bent inwardly between the adjacent side walls 3c and 3e as illustrated in Figures 4 (b) and 4 (c). The targets 1 for the horizontal structure members 12 slide at each end on the 13th and 15th inwards from each end along the lines 2a, 2b and 2e, fold 2f in the side panels 3b and 3f to form the tabs 14 and 16. When the members of structure 11 assume their shape, the tabs 7 are bent inwardly between the adjacent side walls 3a and 3c as shown in FIG. illustrated in Figures 6 (b) and 6 (c). The length Ll of the tabs 7 is formed to provide, when bent inwardly, an end projection 9 and a central recess 8 which are accommodated in the central projection 19 of the structure member 12. The identical lengths L3 to L5 of the tabs 14 and 16 in member 12 are thus formed to provide, when folded inward, recesses 17, 18 on opposite sides of portion 19 P1747 / 99MX outstanding from the center channel. The recesses 17, 18 accommodate the end projections 9. For this purpose, the width L2 of the central 3d panel of the member 11 is greater than the width of the central 3d panel of the member 12 and the widths L4 and L6 of the lateral panels 3b and 3f of the member 12 are greater than the width of the panels 3b and 3f sideways of the member 11. As shown in Figure 8, at the joining end of the member 11, the tab 7 and the panels 3a, 3b, 3f and 3g are formed with their respective central openings 20 and, the tabs 14, 16 and at the end of the complementary member 12 and the adjacent panels 3a, 3d, 3g are formed with the openings 21. The openings 20 and 21 are aligned when the ends of the members 11, 12 overlap in a bonding relationship. as illustrated in Figure 9 and are pierced with a bolt by means of threaded bolts or screws 22, to secure the members 11, 12 together rigidly. For this purpose, it can be seen that the openings 20, 21 are placed in the panels in which fastening elements 22 can be introduced by means of an arrow of a powered screwdriver or the like thereof for a quick assembly. The assembled rectangular structure 23 will be rigid with the couplings or with a cladding P1747.99MX structural applied to it that resists the loads applied along the line of the wall. However, if desired, lateral shoring struts can be attached to the same lateral shoring struts by means of fastening elements 22 or additional fastening elements, as required. Preferably, as illustrated in Figure 11, the structures 23 have a wall height and have continuous central channels, which open outwardly to be positioned around a corresponding, sectioned, lower bottom plate. A corresponding upper plate can be used to couple the upper, horizontal members 12 together and / or to provide a connection for the roof beams or their like. As can be clearly seen in Figure 11 (b), the straight side channels 32 engage to form open box sections 25, which can hold a joining slot or carry services or the like. The coupling wall 3d panels can be interconnected by screwing or something similar. Figure 13 illustrates a portion of the member 11 of an abutment structure assembly 23, in a side-by-side relationship with a member 11 of an adjacent structure assembly 23. External channels have an outward view and, therefore, P1747 / 99MX the outer channels of the two members 11 open outwardly to each other to define a chamber or conduit 30 that extends vertically. A reinforcing support post 31 can be mounted on a support surface and extends upwardly through the conduit 30. The support post 31 can typically be made of wood, although other materials are naturally possible as well. A primary function of the support post 31 is that it maintains structural support in the event of a fire that could cause the steel member 11 to melt. This additional feature of structural safety is important. Another advantage of the reinforcement post 31 is that it preserves the continuity of the wall surface when viewed from the outside. This is particularly important because the adjacent members 11 are susceptible to being pulled apart from one another as the structure develops and additional assemblies 23 are applied. The continuity of the wall surface provided by the post 31 is very important for the aesthetic and insulation properties of the building. For multi-story buildings, it can be seen from Figure 12 that the horizontal members 12 arranged opposite each other butt, have their side panels 3b and 3f in a face-to-face relationship, overlapping, so that P1747 / 99MX can screw together on opposite sides of the box section 28 formed by the opposite channels 31. The box sections 25 and 28 provide relatively massive structural members at each joint of the structure to accommodate the normal loads applied vertically and horizontally., so that the construction using these structures must proceed quickly and with a minimum of additional material to provide the additional requirements of the wall. The structures can be supplied completely with at least one liner attached and / or screwed thereto. Typically, the coating will be a particle board such as CRAFTWOOD or layered wood panel. Tests were carried out by the Technical Structures Laboratory of the University of Queensland to compare the structural strength of the structure members of the applicant as illustrated in the drawings (CDS Sections) with a member of section structure "C" ( Section C"). Both types of section were manufactured from Zincalume 1.0 mm G550. Section "C" was formed from approximately 194 mm wide steel sheet, while the CDS section was formed from 197 mm wide steel sheet. To simplify the tests, no restrictions were imposed, except in P1747 / 99MX the extremes and the inevitable restriction caused at the loading points. The following tests were carried out: a) Structural Member Compression Test; b) Structural Member Bending Test; and c) Plate Bending Test Structural member compression test In the structural member compression test, the individual structural member sections of 2,700 mm length were tested under axial load. The structural members were not restricted against lateral or torsional movement more than by the loading of the plates at each end. The load was applied as uniformly as possible. Two "C" sections and two "CDS" sections were tested. The following table provides the results: In this way, the CDS section only failed approximately twice as much as the load in section "C".

P1747 / 99MX Structural Member Bending Test In the structural member bending test, individual structural member sections of 2,700 mm length were tested under bending load. A "C" section and a CDS section were subjected to the test. The results are given in the table below: The test results can reasonably be taken as an indication of the behavior of the sections for the load, which produce an expansion deflection / 150. As shown in the results table, the structural member of the CDS section carries approximately 1.5 times the load carried by the structural member of the "C" section with an expansion deflection divided by 150. A valid comparison can not be made with with respect to the last resistance of the sections because the failure modes experienced for both sections were not representative of the conditions in service.

P1747 / 99MX Plate Bending Test In the plate bending test, individual plate sections of 800 mm length were tested under the bending load. The bend load in deflection was measured as the plate was loaded in increase for the fault. Because the plate sections are not symmetrical about a bend axis, the tests were carried out with the plates facing up and down. The results of the plate bending tests are shown below: P1747 / 99MX In this test, all the test sections, except for a "C" section plate, failed in the local support under point loading. Therefore, different results would have been obtained if the load had been applied over a larger area in order to eliminate the local support failure. In short, the CDS section plate with its tabs is about 2.5 times as resistant to bending as the plate in the "C" section with its tabs facing up. The CDS section plate with its tabs facing down is marginally more resistant to bending than the section plate "C" with its tabs facing down. For a different continuous plate of the plate simply supported as tested, the CDS section can load approximately 1.3 times the load carried by the "C" section.

SUMMARY The tests indicated that a CDS section of 2,700 mm long will support approximately twice the compression load supported by a structural member of section "C". The tests also showed that a 2,700 mm long CDS section will support approximately 1.5 times the bending load supported by a structural member of section "C" at the service deflection limit.

P1747 / 99MX The plate bending test showed that for an extended 600 mm continuous plate between supports, a CDS section plate will support approximately 1.3 times the load supported by a "C" section plate and that the CDS section plate has approximately the same stiffness as the "C" section plate. Finally, therefore, the results of the tests showed that the "CDS" sections performed similarly or better than a "C" section., made of the same material and with approximately the same amount of steel. An advantage of the structure assembly described above is that it provides structure members coupled together that resist deflection and deformation even if the load is applied to them. This allows steel buildings with adequate strength to be constructed easily and efficiently. The structural features of the structure such as the box structure and the coupling along three mutually orthogonal axes improves the rigidity of the structure and improves the axial and torsional load bearing properties of the assembly. The coupling of the two members is very simple and can be done quickly and efficiently during construction by workers without special skills. It is also possible to enter the services P1747 / 99MX with water pipes, electrical wiring and pipes for refrigeration for air conditioners through the hollow sections of the members. Of course, it should be understood that the foregoing has been given by way of an illustrative example of the invention and that all modifications and variations thereof that will be apparent to all persons skilled in the art will fall within the broad scope and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
