Abstract

An aperture formed by one or more elements of a truss and utilized to form ductile connections with other reinforcement elements. Said aperture may be formed by the positioning, bending, weaving or sewing of one or more said elements. The trusses may be disposed in parallel or intersecting planes and may be connected by the utilization of said apertures on site or fabricated offsite. They may be assembled into structures or into modular or custom panels with which structures may be built, and embedded in cementations. Insulation and other mechanical systems may be incorporated into said truss and panel systems prior to embedment in cementations. Said aperture-forming trusses may also be used to incorporate prior art into structures with enhanced properties. The resulting interconnected systems of apertures, trusses, insulation and other systems generally are embedded in cementations to produce structures with superior ductility of interconnections and enhanced composite behavior.

Until now current and previous truss and panel designs have provided valid construction alternatives to more traditional configurations of building material. However, they have been unfamiliar to and have not been embraced by a construction industry well versed in prevalent wood, concrete masonry and steel building methods. Adoption of more stringent mandatory building code requirements with respect to seismic, wind, and fire resistance and energy conservation has progressed over the years, land and labor costs have risen, and the cost of raw materials has increased. This has caused the costs of the development of wood, steel frame, masonry block and poured in place concrete structures to rise significantly. Rising maintenance, and energy costs for finished structures have also increased the costs of operation and ownership. The benefits of truss and panel designs address all of these factors, and as a result, their price competitiveness has become apparent, reducing the resistance of the construction and fabrication industries to their use as mass production construction techniques. Both the construction industry and consumers will benefit from the development of faster, stronger, more durable and energy efficient construction techniques and structures employing them.
Trusses and composite trusses of various kinds have been constructed over the years with a variety of designs, connections, methodology and materials. Some have been designed into space frames as the reinforcement matrix for structural panels with facings of cementatious material. In all such panels, the optimization of structural strength, ductility and consequent composite behavior is clearly desirable. Some have featured a disposition of elements attached so as to form loops or apertures of reinforcement. Such apertures have served to elaborate the embedment of reinforcement in cementations in an attempt to enhance composite action. However, such panels have been deficient in their ductility, that is, the ability to undergo changes of form without breaking or falling apart.
Building panels of various kinds have been developed over the years incorporating a variety of external facings, reinforcement, and internal insulating materials. Prefabricated panels are factory made and shipped to a site for assembly into interior and exterior walls of a building. Some panels are also made directly at the building site. Such prior panels typically have a framework, commonly of wood or metal studs and or wire, readymade with an insulative core and sometimes incorporating electrical wirings and plumbing. Prefabricated panels have means for attachment to each other along abutting edges and for attachment to roof trusses, rafters, flooring and foundations. Panels have been constructed to withstand the various types of forces that buildings typically undergo such as compression forces from floor loads and roofs. Such panels have also been designed to provide insulation, weather-tight sealing, and to be connected to adjacent panels, roof systems, and to footers. The panels have typically been connected to roof trusses or rafters using conventional brackets, which are nailed to the wooden rafters or trusses and to wooden headers.
The brackets are designed to withstand the forces exerted by seismic events and the lifting forces exerted upon roof structures by wind. The structural systems of a building resist such forces well to the degree that they enable the building to behave as a unit under stress rather than failing at points of attachment or across surfaces, weakening the structure and making it susceptible to catastrophic failure. The degree of composite, or unitized, behavior of a structure and of the elements used to build it increases with increased ductility of structural interconnection.
The present invention is directed towards a means to construct monolithic composite insulated structures from elements that can comprise a panel system and that address composite behavior and ductility of structures. Said structure not only provides superior strength against compression and tension forces longitudinally, and laterally, and transversely but also anchors, braces, positions and strengthens structural trusses in a truss system. Walls, roofs, floors, and foundations are tied together in such a manner as to provide a greatly increased tension and compression and shear strength and resistance to lifting and shaking forces.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT—DESCRIPTION

A preferred embodiment of the aperture 11 of the present invention is comprised of a continuous reinforcement element 7 shown in (FIG. 1A) bent to a curvilinear waveform forming vertices 6 and comprising a web 7 of a truss 12 a (FIG. 1B) formed by affixing one or more chords 8 a, 8 b to said web 7 at a predetermined location such that each vertex 6 extends beyond the attachment location of cords 8 a, 8 b forming an aperture of predetermined size. An array of reinforcement comprised of a plurality of trusses 12 a (FIG. 1B) are integrated into a space frame shown in (FIG. 1D 1) of predetermined length, width, and thickness by the insertion and attachment of lateral reinforcement 8 c,d of predetermined size through aligned apertures 11 of spaced trusses.
Truss 12 a may be disposed in spatial relationships with its neighbor by elements of an insulative core shown in (FIG. 4A), whose grooved transverse faces 16 fit the central web area of trusses 12 a. Space frame (FIG. 1D 1) is built up from interspersed trusses 12 a and insulative core elements 15. The predetermined dimensions of core elements 15 dispose and establish truss 12 a spacing and truss 12 a in turn positions core elements 15 in relation to space frame (FIG. 1D 1) reinforcement attachments to allow required embedment in the event cementations (20) are applied.
In another preferred embodiment aperture 11 (FIG. 1C) is formed in truss 12 b by attachment of cords 8 a,b to web 7. Cords 8 a,b are distinguished by being located on laterally opposite sides of Web 7 without regard to their transverse relative position. Vertices 6 of web 7 (FIG. 1C) are bent at equal but opposite angles on transversely opposite sides of web 7 (FIG. 1C). A space frame (FIG. 1D 2) comprises a plurality of trusses 12 b with each truss 12 b rotated 180 degrees from its neighbors around a transverse axis. Then each truss 12 b in a given plurality is spaced, positioned and rotated equally and in opposite directions from its neighbors around a longitudinal axis so that the angled vertices 6 a (FIG. 1D) of neighboring trusses 12 b lie flush with each other, sandwiched between two cords 8 a or 8 b. Paired apertures 11 (FIG. 1D) are then integrated laterally by the insertion of lateral reinforcement 8 c,d through and attachment to aligned apertures 11 comprised of the bounding vertices 6 and cords 8 a,b of the space frame array (FIG. 1D).
Space frame (FIG. 1D 2) is shown in longitudinal cross section in (FIG. 1E) presenting a folded plate truss structure comprised of lateral reinforcement cords 8 c,d interconnecting and cinctured by apertures 11 formed by vertices 6 a and longitudinal truss cords 8 a,b. Truss web elements 7 serve in longitudinal, lateral, and transverse truss structures intersecting, in space frame (FIG. 1D 2), to form substantially quadrilateral-based pyramidal structures. Each pair of vertices 6 a and cincturing apertures 11 form the apex, or summit vertex, of a pyramidal structure and also one comer of the square base of a neighboring inverted pyramidal form. The intersecting folded plate truss structures of the space frame (FIG. 1D 2) and (FIG. 1E) thus provide three dimensional structural action. In this preferred embodiment appropriately shaped and grooved core elements similar to (FIG. 4A) may also used to dispose, position, and assemble space frames (FIG. 1D 2) from trusses 12 b and lateral reinforcement 8 c, 8 d forming modular panelized insulative core and reinforcement components for embedment in cementations.
In another embodiment perpendicular ductile truss aperture connections 11 a, b in which apertures 11 (FIGS. 1G and 1H) arenformed by two connected web elements of a truss are overlapped in the area of truss interinterconnection such that lateral reinforcement 8 c, 8 d passes through apertures of both trusses at interconnection points 11 a and 11 b.
Apertures 11 (FIG. 2A) are formed by the weaving and attachment of web 7 b, 7 a elements around dual cords 8 b, 8 a to form vertices 6 b, 6 c each of which wraps one cord 8 a, 8 b to form cincturing vertex 11.
A truss 12 (FIG. 2B) is configured with vertices 6 d, 6 e alternating from side to side of a single cord 8 forming cincturing apertures 11 girding lateral reinforcement 8 c, d.
Apertures 11 are formed (FIGS. 2C and 2D) by the bending, weaving, sewing, or tying of web 7. A lateral cross section view of an aperture 11 thus formed (FIG. 2C) shows lateral and longitudinal cords 8 and transverse reinforcement 8 c, d girdled and cinctured by web 7. Three vertices 6 h, i, j and three apertures 11 are formed.
A longitudinal cross section view is shown (FIG. 2D) of two truss cords 8 a, 8 b and perpendicular lateral reinforcement 8 c, d girdled and cinctured by aperture 11 formed by continuous web 7 on a similar principle of bending, weaving, sewing, or tying.
Apertures 11 are formed by independently locatable cincturing aperture reinforcement elements 13 of predetermined dimensions (FIGS. 3A and 3B).
In (FIG. 3C) an application of locatable cincture 13 a cincturing two reinforcement elements appears. Cincture 13 a saddles one reinforcement element 8, and the second is then communicated through the girding apertures formed between the saddled reinforcement 8 and the vertices 6 g or 6 h of cincture 13 a left unoccupied by the saddling procedure.
An application of locatable cincture 13 b to web 7, cord 8, and lateral reinforcement 8 c, d, 8 e appears in (FIG. 3D).
Views of locatable cincture 13 c applicable as described for cincture 13 b by saddling and insertion of reinforcement appear in (FIG. 3E and 3F).
Cincture 13 d used for both crossing and lapping reinforcement appear in (FIGS. 3G and 3H).
(FIGS. 31 through 3M) show the form and application of locatable cincturing devices.

Preferred Embodiment—Operation

The manner of using the aperture device 11 is adaptable to structural requirements of any given form or disposition. Panels can be fabricated and erected as framework reinforcement at site as follows:
In a preferred embodiment an element of said core 15, panels are placed on a horizontal surface with an edge 16 facing upward which has been grooved 14 to fit and position a truss 12. In this example, two opposite edges 16 of the core panel 15 element are grooved 14. An adhesive is applied to said edge 16 and an element of an Anvick aperture (11) composite truss 12 a-c configuration is fitted within the preformed grooves 14 which accept half of the girth of the webbing element 7 and position said element with respect to said core panel 15. A corresponding grooved core panel 15 element is fitted on top of the first element and completes the embedment of the first truss 12 configuration. The positioning is such that there is sufficient clearance between the core panel element 15 and reinforcement elements 8 a,b,c,d for required embedment in cementations 20. This process is repeated, the core panel elements 15 aligned flush with each other and positioning the truss 12 array, until the desired panel width is assembled. Once said adhesive has set the panel can be set in place on an arrangement of reinforcement protruding in a predetermined spatial relation from a previously formed foundation structure 18. Independently locatable aperture cincturing devices 13 a-j attach the foundation reinforcement 18 to either the lateral 8 c,d or longitudinal 8 a,b reinforcement elements when the aperture connecting lateral reinforcement 8 c,d are inserted through the apertures 11. Welded wire fabric 13 g, or sheeting elements 13 f, 17 can be installed, if called for, prior to the addition of said lateral reinforcement 8 c,d, which then serves to cincture 13 g, said fabric, when installed over it. System components alternatively may be fabricated off site.
The manner of using aperture 11 in another preferred embodiment requires each truss 12 b in a given plurality to be spaced, aligned, and then rotated in an opposite direction from adjacent trusses 12 b so that they intersect at their corresponding apertures 11. Said apertures 11 of said adjacent trusses 12 b are bent at an angle to the web 7 so that they lie flush with one another. Cords 8 a and 8 b of said trusses 12 sandwich the attached, paired, flush positioned vertices 6 a forming paired apertures 11. Reinforcement 8 c,d is then inserted and communicated through and girded within said apertures 11 to complete an embodiment's basic array. The resulting array is a folded plate structure with multidirectional truss behavior. Said curvilinear and or wave form webbing 7 provides for a real three dimensional structural action once connecting reinforcement 8,c,d, foudation connections 18, and cementations 20 are installed.
In this preferred embodiment a truss 12 b structure is elaborated by assembling said trusses 12 b edge to edge in planes which intersect at longitudinal lines of vertices 6 a. Said parallel longitudinal intersections linked by cords 8 a,b alternate transversely from side to side of the resulting three dimensional space frame disposed across the lateral axis of the space frame array.
Aligned sequences of paired cincturing vertices 6 a are linked when lateral reinforcement 8 c,d are passed through vertices 6 a. The linked vertices now also lie along the intersection at reinforcment 8 c,d of planes formed by the curvilinear web elements 7 of trusses 12 b which intersect at parallel lateral lines of aligned vertices. Said parallel lateral intersections alternate transversely from side to side of the three dimensional space frame disposed along the longitudinal axis of the space frame array. Longitudinal and lateral cross sections of the space frame consequently resemble each other, the two sets of intersecting planes presenting triangular cross sectional forms of a folded plate truss structure in both directions. The two sets of intersecting planes, each crossing the lateral axis, formed by trusses 12 b, and their web and lateral reinforcement elements along both longitudinal and lateral axes of a consequent space frame intersect to form substantially square based pyramidal structures. Each cinctured vertex 6 a of a frame is one corner of the square base of one or more said structures, depending upon location at an edge, corner, or in the field of a panel of this configuration of space frame, as well as summit vertex 6 a of an inverted neighboring one, the alternate square bases forming the substantially planar transversely opposite surface lattices of the space frame. Consequently the transverse as well as the longitudinal and lateral cross sections presents similar triangular forms of a folded plate structure and the space frame array of the embodiment affords true three-dimensional truss operation.

Other Embodiments

Independent Aperture—Description
A continuous loop of reinforcement bent, woven, folded, tied, sewn, twisted or otherwise formed to conform to reinforcement in the array to provide means for the girding or cincture of at least two elements of the reinforcement array.
Independent Aperture—Operation
Independently locatable apertures can be shaped in a variety of ways. When placed onto the array locatable apertures require cross reinforcement to be communicated into and held disposed within said aperture to effect installation of said aperture.
Double Webbed Trusses—Description
Trusses with apertures that contain at least one cord and at lease two web elements generally juxtaposed to one another to form, when viewed in the lateral cross section, opposing vertices across the transverse axis.
Double Webbed Trusses—Operation
All aperture trusses operate in a similar fashion and methodology, each having distinct differences in an engineered analysis.
Foundation or Grade Beam Reinforcement—Description
Trusses equipped with aperture devices are positioned to space, align, and support reinforcement extending through and between foundation cementations and connecting structures. Reinforcement passed through parallel or perpendicularly aligned vertices of such attached structures provides ductile, composite connections. In arrays in which vertices accept lateral reinforcement in perpendicular planes, said lateral reinforcement may be interlapped to cincture the structures together. Similarly such use is appropriate and desirable for bond beam construction.
Foundation or Grade or Bond Beam Reinforcement—Operation
Trusses of a beam system are oriented to trusses of a wall or foundation system such that vertices of the trusses align, thus allowing one or more elements of lateral reinforcement to pass through the vertices of both systems. In some orientations the cords of the trusses of the systems may be juxtaposed so that their vertices accept interlapped transverse reinforcement cincturing the systems together with a ductile connection when embedded in cementations.
One Cord Truss—Description
An asymmetrical truss with vertices bent in such a manner that said vertices grab or gird reinforcement such as the cord of another truss when cross reinforcement is disposed within said truss's apertures to provide means for additional lateral or longitudinal reinforcement and load resisting capacity.
One Cord Truss—Operation
This device is used at openings in arrays by attaching the un-corded and bent vertices to longitudinal or lateral cords in an array and cincturing said one cord truss to said array with cross reinforcement.
