Two inclined pillars are inclined in an opposite direction, along a perpendicular direction. The beam or one of the slabs is respectively placed at an upper edge and a lower edge along a horizontal direction. Thus, an architectural structure comprises a tube frame having a novel basic structure. Thereby, stability and earthquake-resistance of a structure can be obtained in an architecture building, specially, a high-rise and a super high-rise buildings.

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an architectural structure more particularly, the present invention relates to a structure having a tube structure or the structure of a skeleton.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Conventionally, a rahmen frame (rigid frame) is well known as the architectural structure of a high-rise or a super high-rise architectural structure. The rahmen frame is comprised of a pillar and a beam combined in a three dimensional lattice-shape. However, there was a disadvantage that an inner design is greatly limited because beams are arranged among all pillars. In contrast, a tube frame is comprised of pillars which are continuously arranged on the outer periphery of a building and beams connecting pillars. The tube frame can obtain a space without the pillar or the beam in the inside. Thereby, there is an advantage that a design is highly free. In addition, the overall building is deformed in a tube-shape, thereby, earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance are superior.
- In a
patent reference 1, a common use zone is formed at the center thereof and a dwelling zone is formed on an outer periphery. An outer peripheral tube frame is formed. The structure of the outer peripheral tube frame is that of the general rahmen frame of a quadrilateral lattice-shape having an outer peripheral pillar on the outer periphery of the dwelling zone and an outer peripheral beam between pillars. An inner peripheral tube frame is formed. The structure of the inner peripheral tube frame is the general rahmen frame comprised of an inner peripheral pillar and an inner beam between inner peripheral pillars, in the common use zone. This publication discloses a double tube structure having the outer peripheral tube frame and an inner peripheral tube frame. - A
patent reference 2 also discloses a double tube structure having an outer peripheral frame and an inner peripheral frame. The outer peripheral frame and the inner peripheral frame are the general rahmen frames. - A
patent reference 3 discloses a building having an outer peripheral tube frame which places braces intersecting within lattices of a general rahmen frame comprised of a vertical pillar and a horizontal beam. In the inside, this outer peripheral tube frame has a diaphragm in a slab-shape to obtain resistance and solidity, like a conventional rahmen frame. - Conventionally, a honeycomb structure, in which hexagon lattices are continuously connected, is known as a strong structure. The honeycomb structure is used at various points of a building and the member of the building (disclosed in a
patent reference 4 and apatent reference 5 etc.). In a structure applied to a tube frame, the honeycomb structure is formed by continuously connecting hexagon units in a horizontal plane, e.g., as disclosed in apatent reference 6. It is known that the honeycomb structure as mentioned above is stacked via a stud. The honeycomb structure is stacked in a perpendicular direction. - A
reference 1 discloses a building in which a steel member in a honeycomb-shape is provided on a curved surface course, and a pillar bears inside of the building. In the steel member in the honeycomb-shape on the surface course of this building, the hexagon lattices having the same shape are not equally connected in balance. Each edge of a lattice is not a general linear member (pillar or beam etc.). - Patent reference 1: Unexamined Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-317565

- The basic structure of a conventional tube frame is a general rahmen frame in which quadrilateral lattices are connected. Quadrilateral lattices comprise a vertical pillar (stud) and a horizontal beam. In order to obtain some structural stability and some earthquake-resistance in a high-rise building or a super high-rise building, the only outer peripheral tube frame is not enough. Pillars of the outer peripheral tube frame and/or inner tube frame are arranged in more than some densities. The inner tube frame is provided. The outer peripheral tube frame and the inner tube frame are connected by a flat slab or a specific beam. Further, a sub frame is incorporated into the outer peripheral tube frame. A plurality of outer peripheral tube frames are continuously connected each other. In most of cases, aforementioned various limitations of a structure are essential. For example, it is essential that a frame is at least a double tube frame in the
patent references patent reference 3. - When the general rahmen frame comprised of the stud and the horizontal beam as the basic structure of the tube frame is applied as a structural unit, various limitations are necessary on the high-rise building, specially the super high-rise building, in order to obtain strength on the structure. As a result, freedom on a design is reduced. Freedom is the advantage of the tube frame.
- In the honeycomb structure applied to the tube frame, the honeycomb structure is provided in a horizontal plane and stacked via the stud in the perpendicular direction, as disclosed in the
patent reference 6. The stud like the general rahmen frame bears a perpendicular load. In thereference 1, the steel member in the honeycomb-shape is provided on the surface course. However, a bearing pillar is necessary in the inside and the only surface course does not bear the overall. - Therefore, it is object of the present invention to provide an architectural structure comprising a tube frame having a novel basic structure, which is different from the basic structure of a conventional tube frame. In the present invention, it is object to obtain stability and earthquake-resistance of a structure by the only outer peripheral tube frame in the architectural structure applied to a high-rise and a super high-rise building. Stability and earthquake-resistance of the structure in the present invention are superior to those of a conventional structure. In addition, it is object to obtain, on a design, freedom higher than that of the structure of a conventional tube rahmen frame.

FIG. 1A is an outerperipheral tube frame 1, which is the main frame of an architectural structure. The outerperipheral tube frame 1 has a cylinder, namely a tube-shape. The cylinder in the tube-shape is formed by rigidly connecting a hexagon structural unit in a honeycomb-shape. The hexagon structural unit is comprised of six edges. The axis of a tube extends in a perpendicular direction. The main frame is the main part of a structure and an essential main part on structural resistance. Each edge of the hexagon structural unit is the structural element of the main frame. The element is a pillar, a beam or a partial part of a slab. In an example shown in the figure, all edges of the hexagon structural unit are comprised of the pillar and the beam. In an example shown in the figure, the cylinder is an angular cylinder. However, the cylinder may be a circular cylinder. - The architectural structure according to the present invention is basically formed by the hexagon structural unit in which the overall outer
peripheral tube frame 1 is connected in the honeycomb-shape. Within the scope of the present invention or an allowable scope on a structural dynamic, however, the scope of the present invention includes structures to incorporate structures except for the hexagon structural unit into one part of the outerperipheral tube frame 1. -
FIG. 1B shows the enlarged figure of one part of the outerperipheral tube frame 1 inFIG. 1A . One hexagonstructural unit 10 places, members comprising the main frame, at six edges of alower edge 11, anupper edge 12, a lower-leftedge 13, an upper-leftedge 14, a lower-right edge 15, and an upper-right edge 16. A hexagon lattice is formed by connecting members. Further, circumference of one hexagonstructural unit 10 is surrounded by six hexagon structural units in the same shape. Each edge is shared with the hexagon structural unit which is adjacent to each edge. One-second of the height of the hexagon structural unit is shifted between a column and b column. a column is comprised of a plurality of hexagon structural units connected along a perpendicular direction G. b column next to a column is comprised of a plurality of hexagon structural units connected along the perpendicular direction G. a column and b column are alternately arranged along circumference of the tube. - The hexagon
structural unit 10 has a shape in which the left side and the right side are symmetric. Two inclined pillars are inclined in an opposite direction along the perpendicular direction G. The right edge comprises the lower-right edge 15 and the upper-right edge 16. The lower-right edge 15 and the upper-right edge 16 are connected and arranged in the hexagonstructural unit 10. The lower-right edge 15 and the upper-right edge 16 are two inclined pillars. The lower-right edge 15 is inclined at a—α angle with respect to the perpendicular direction G. The upper-right edge 16 is inclined at an α angle with respect to the perpendicular direction G. The left edge is comprised of the lower-leftedge 13 and the upper-leftedge 14. The lower-leftedge 13 and the upper-leftedge 14 are inclined similar to the lower-right edge 15 and the upper-right edge 16. - In an example shown in
FIG. 1C , the plane-shape of the outerperipheral tube frame 1 is almost quadrilateral. The face of the hexagonstructural unit 10 placed at the four corners in the plane-shape is directed to the vertex of quadrilateral. Therefore, four corners of the plane-shape is a notched-shape. The plane-shape of the outerperipheral tube frame 1 may be circular or any of polygons. Also, the plane-shape may be a shape which includes a concave portion. - In an example of the hexagon
structural unit 10 can be comprised of the pillar and the beam. Edges of the lower-leftedge 13, the upper-leftedge 14, the lower-right edge 15, and the upper-right edge 16 are inclined pillars as mentioned above. Thelower edge 11 and theupper edge 12 are the beam or one part of the slab. Each of pillars is rigidly connected. The pillar and the beam are rigidly connected. The pillar and one part of the slab are rigidly connected. Each of pillars can be connected by known various ways. The pillar and the beam can be connected by known various ways. The pillar and one part of the slab can be connected by known various ways. - The
lower edge 11 and theupper edge 12 may be the beam. Thelower edge 11 and theupper edge 12 may be one part of the slab. One of the lower edge and theupper edge 12 may be the beam and the other may be one part of the slab. One part of the slab is, e.g., the end part of the slab (refer toFIG. 4 as mentioned hereinafter). When the slab protrudes from the outerperipheral tube frame 1 as a cantilever, one part of the slab is the base of the protruding portion. - The slab used as the main frame may be either a flat slab or a slab having the beam. Another embodiments as mentioned hereinafter are the same. It is preferable to use the flat slab not having the beam in light of a space is free without limitations.
- The scale of the hexagon
structural unit 10 can be set variously. For example, the height of the hexagonstructural unit 10 is height of the story for one layer of the building. However, the height of the hexagonstructural unit 10 is height of the story for two layers or four layers of the building. Thereby, it is preferable that the space is highly free. The hexagonstructural unit 10 is not necessary to be a regular hexagon. Each of four edges placed at the left and the right is the same length. The upper edge is also the same length as the lower edge. -
FIGS. 2A to 2D show the result of comparison of two structural models corresponding to the present invention and a conventional technology. Referring toFIG. 2A to 2B , the structural feature of the architectural structure according to the present invention will be described below. The architectural structure has the outer peripheral tube frame shown inFIG. 1A .FIG. 2A is the condition explanatory of a structural analysis to compare the present invention to the conventional technology.FIG. 2B shows the result of a comparison deformed by a horizontal load.FIG. 2C shows the result of comparison of members which relate to deformations.FIG. 2D shows the result of comparison of stress the horizontal load. - Generally, the structure of a tube frame is highly stable. The tube frame is a frame in which a large number of pillars (the beam or one part of the slab is inclined) are arranged on an outer peripheral portion in balance. Earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance of the tube frame are superior. The architectural structure according to the present invention has not only the characteristic of the conventional tube frame but also the following effect. That is, all pillars are inclined pillars and the inclined pillars are continuously connected in upper and lower directions. Thereby, it is possible to bear a perpendicular load for a long term. In addition, it is possible to bear an external horizontal load for a short term effectively. That is, the inclined pillars serve both pillars and braces at the same time.
- In the outer peripheral tube frame comprised of the hexagon structural unit, the stress of bending moment, which occurs on the pillar and the beam (or one part of the slab) due to a load is smaller than that of the tube frame. The tube frame is a general rahmen frame comprised of a vertical pillar and a horizontal beam.
- In
FIG. 2A , (A) is a structural model, a hexagon tube frame, of the outer peripheral tube frame in which the hexagon structural unit of the present invention is rigidly connected in a honeycomb-shape. (B) is a general rahmen frame model, namely “a stud tube frame”. The general rahmen frame is comprised of the vertical pillar and the horizontal beam. Conditions of a hexagon tube frame and a stud tube frame are the same. The conditions are the plane-shape (outer peripheral portion of 52.3 m), a plane dimension (area of 193.1 m), and dimension of the height (6 m×5 layers=30) of the overall structure model. The number of points of intersection of the pillar and the beam is the same in each of the models. The hexagon tube frame is a frame in which each pillar of a stud tube frame is inclined as shown inFIG. 2A . - In the first structural analysis, deformation is compared in a case where the pillar and the beam are members of the same dimension of RC-500 mm×500 mm, as shown in
FIG. 2B . In detail, a horizontal force, which is necessary for a structural first design is applied and deformation is analyzed. In the result of analysis, a numeral is shown inFIG. 2B . Deformation of the stud tube frame of (B) is 50 mm at the maximum. Deformation of the hexagon tube frame of (A) is 34 mm at the maximum. Therefore, the deformed volume of the hexagon tube frame is smaller and the structure of the hexagon tube frame is stronger than that of the stud tube frame. - In the second structural analysis, the sectional dimension of members of the pillar and beam are compared in a case where the angle of the deformation of both frames is one-two hundred fifty as shown in
FIG. 2C . As a result, dimensions both the pillar and the beam of the stud tube frame of (B) are RC-550 mm×550 mm, as shown at the bottom inFIG. 2C . In contrast, dimensions both the pillar and the beam of the hexagon tube frame of (A) are RC-500 mm×500 mm. Therefore, in a case where the structure is almost the same strength, the sectional dimensions both the pillar and the beam of the hexagon tube frame are smaller than those of the stud tube frame and the total volume of the structure of the hexagon tube frame can be reduced. - In the third structural analysis, stress between the stud tube frame and the hexagon tube frame under the same condition is compared as shown in
FIG. 2D .FIG. 2D shows bending moment of each pillar and each beam at the right side of each tube frame. A typical numeral is shown in moment figures shown at the right bottom of each figure. As a result of analysis, the pillar of the stud tube frame of (B) is 277 kN·m and the beam is 393 kN·m. In contrast, the pillar of the hexagon tube frame of (A) is 190 kN·m and the beam is 365 kN·m. Therefore, bending moment, stress in both the pillar and the beam of the hexagon tube frame is smaller. The hexagon tube frame can be comprised of smaller members, and the total volume of the structure can be reduced. - From the above result, the structure of the outer peripheral tube frame formed by rigidly connecting the hexagon structural unit in the honeycomb-shape is stronger than that of the tube frame of the general rahmen frame comprised of the vertical pillar and the horizontal beam. Earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance of the outer peripheral tube frame are superior. Under the same strength condition, the total volume of the structure of the outer peripheral tube frame formed by rigidly connecting the hexagon structural unit in the honeycomb-shape can further be reduced than that of the tube frame of the general rahmen structure. Thereby, materials and minerals can be reduced. Further, the cost of the structure can be reduced.
- The architectural structure of the present invention can be erected by various structural materials. Various structural materials are wooden construction, reinforced construction, RC construction, SRC construction, CFT construction, and prestressed concrete construction.

Therefore, one-second of height H of the hexagon structural unit is a distance between theslab 21 a and theslab 21 b. The distance between theslab 21 a and theslab 21 b is for two layers of the building. A space between theslab 21 a and theslab 21 b can be partitioned into two layers by using the sub frame as mentioned hereinafter.

A structure, in which two inclined outer peripheral tube frames are connected in the X-shape or -shape, is a strong structure having excellent earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance.
- The architectural structure in
FIG. 20A further comprises inclined inner tube frames 8 a and 8 b forming the main frame by rigidly connecting a second hexagonstructural unit 80 in the honeycomb-shape in the inside of each of two inclined outer peripheral tube frames 7 a and 7 b, respectively. - The direction of the second hexagon

That is, the second hexagonstructural unit 80 provides with two edges in which the inclined pillars are connected. Two edges are placed such that the left side and the right side are symmetric. Two inclined edges are inclined such that each of edges is inclined in the opposite direction, along the perpendicular direction. The second hexagonstructural unit 80 is formed such that any of the beam or one part of the slab is respectively provided at the upper edge and the lower edge. The pillar and pillar, the pillar and the beam, the pillar and one of the slab is rigidly connected. The pillar and pillar, the pillar and the beam, the pillar and one of the slab can rigidly be connected by known various ways. - In a preferable embodiment, an inclined

FIG. 21 shows briefly a structure in which sub frames 25 a, 25 b and 25 c are provided in the inside of the outer peripheral tube frame or the inclined outer peripheral tube frame in the architectural structure or the extension architectural structure as shown inFIGS. 1A to 20 . Theslab 21 of the main frame is provided at the same interval as the height of the hexagon structural unit in (A). This interval of the slab corresponds to for four layers of the building. Therefore, a space between theslabs 21 of the main frame is participated into four layers, by threesub frames - As shown in
FIG. 21 (B), theslabs 21 are provided at the upper edge and the lower edge of the hexagon structural unit. When the height of the hexagon structural unit is for four layers, all or one part of threesub frames - As shown in
FIG. 21(C) , theslab 21 of the main frames is provided at the center of height of the hexagon structural unit. When the height of the hexagon structural unit is for four layers, all or one of two sub frames 25 a and 25 c can be separated or connected. - The sub frame is one part of a structure to bear partitioned each layer structurally. However the sub frame does not necessary have earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately separate and connect the sub frames. By using the sub frame, two dimensional and three dimensional spaces are highly free.
- In an architectural structure having a basic structure of the present invention, an outer peripheral tube frame of a main frame is formed by rigidly connecting a hexagon structural unit in a honeycomb-shape. The main frame configures the main part of a structure and is the essential main part on the bearing force of the structure. The shape of each hexagon structural unit is a hexagon lattice-shape. When the hexagon structural units are rigidly connected in the honeycomb-shape, each edge of a hexagon lattice is shared with each edge of the adjacent hexagon lattice. The overall rigidly connected in the honeycomb-shape is a cylinder-shape, and thereby an extremely strong tube frame can be implemented. Each of the hexagon structural unit is configured by the member of the main frame, e.g., a pillar or one part of a slab. As mentioned above, the outer peripheral tube frame formed by the hexagon structural unit in the present invention, the beam (or one part of the slab) is not continuous in a horizontal direction. Pillars are configured by inclined pillars continuously in a zigzag-shape. These features are absolutely different from the tube frame of a conventional rahmen frame. The peripheral face of the tube frame in an outer peripheral tube frame comprising the hexagon structural unit of the present invention is formed by a honeycomb structure. This feature is different from that of a conventional hexagon tube frame. The hexagon tube frame provides with the honeycomb structure in a conventional horizontal plane and is stacked in a perpendicular direction via a stud.
- As the main frame of a high-rise and super high-rise buildings, the only outer peripheral tube frame can obtain stability and earthquake-resistance of the structure of the overall building, in the architectural structure of the present invention. That is, it is not necessary to provide with a double tube, a diaphragm in a slab-shape in the inside, or a bearing pillar in the inside such as an aforementioned conventional technology. Thereby, the volume of a member can be reduced, construction time can be shortened, and a free inner space can be obtained. A connection structure in the honeycomb-shape of the hexagon unit is different in a technological field. However, there is a feature in common with that of a connection structure which each of a carbon in a nanotechnology is strongly connected. The carbon nanotube has a structure which a carbon atom is connected in a honeycomb-shape and the overall is a cylindrical-shape. The carbon nanotube is highly stable extremely on bend or tensile.
- In the architectural structure of the present invention, a tube frame has a great bearing force on a horizontal load from any directions. The tube frame keeps a connection, of all pillars and beams (or one part of the slab) in the outer peripheral tube frame comprised of the hexagon structural unit, stable in balance. As a result, a stress which occurs at the point connecting the pillar and the beam (or one part of the slab) by a load is smaller than the stress of the outer peripheral tube frame of a general rahmen frame. This is because one part of a bent stress is transformed to the axis force of a member (inclined column, beam, or the like) to be propagated. The member of a general RC etc. is strong on a compressed force. Thereby, this is an advantage to bear the axis force.
- As a result of a structural analysis, deformation on the same horizontal load of the outer peripheral tube frame comprised of the hexagon structural unit is smaller than that of the conventional outer peripheral tube frame comprised of the general rahmen frame having a stud and a horizontal beam. The hexagon structural unit is rigidly connected in the honeycomb-shape of the present invention. Therefore, in the outer peripheral tube frame of the present invention, it is possible to use a pillar and a beam thinner than those of the conventional outer peripheral tube frame on the horizontal load, which occurs the same deformation. As a result, the total volume and the cost of the structure can be reduced.
- As a result of a structural analysis, a bending moment in which the horizontal load acts on each edge of the structural unit is smaller than that of the outer peripheral tube frame comprised of the conventional general rahmen frame having the stud and the horizontal beam. Thereby, the load is reduced. When the same bending moment is generated, it is possible to use the pillar and the beam thinner than those of the conventional outer peripheral tube frame. As a result, the total volume and the cost of the structure can be reduced.
- Two inclined pillars are continuously connected along the perpendicular direction in the zigzag-shape. Two inclined pillars are placed at the right side and two inclined pillars are placed at the left side of the hexagon structural unit. Two inclined pillars play a roll as the pillar and a brace. Two inclined pillars efficiently bear a perpendicular load for a long term. Further, two inclined pillars bear an external load for a short term, like a horizontal direction except for the perpendicular direction.
- All portions of members configured on the face of the outer peripheral tube frame are linear member structures, and thereby an opening is easily provided.
- Basically, a structure is comprised of a large number of hexagon structural units in the same shape, thus the size and the shape of all studs and all beams can be unified into one kind or various kinds. Thereby, construction can be improved, construction time can be shortened, and the cost can be reduced.
- The hexagon structural unit is predetermined united to be the structure of prestressed concrete construction as a precast concrete. Thereby, construction can be improved, construction time can be shortened, and the cost can be reduced.
- The honeycomb structure comprised of the hexagon structural unit is used as the outer peripheral tube frame. This makes building's visual beautiful.
- A plurality of slabs as the main frame are provided at the same interval as height of the hexagon structural unit. In an another embodiment, a plurality of slabs as the main frame are provided at the same interval as one-second height of the hexagon structural unit. The overall architectural structure can highly be strong by providing with the slabs as the main frame. As a result, the load of the outer peripheral tube frame can be reduced. Size of the pillar or the beam of the outer peripheral tube frame can appropriately be thin. When another elements of the main frame added to the outer peripheral tube frame are added, the rate of the load can be adjusted by a design and size etc. of a used member can be adjusted.
- An architectural structure provides with a sub frame to partition, a space between slabs, into four layers. An architectural structure provides with the sub frame to partition, the space between slabs, into two layers. The sub frame is also one part of a structure. Mainly, the sub frame is to bear each layer. It is not necessary to have earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance. Therefore, the sub frame can be connected at any positions between slabs of the main frame and can be separated from any positions between slabs. Thereby, two dimensional and three dimensional spaces are highly free.
- When height of the hexagon structural unit is height of stories for four layers of the building, actually the beam is alternately provided every two layers (because the only one-second of height of the unit is shifted. The shift of the height is between the column of a plurality of hexagon structural units and a column next to the column of a plurality of hexagon structural units). Therefore, it is easily to provide with the space of two layers or four layers in the main frame.
- An architectural structure mixes two portions. One portion has a plurality of slabs as the main frame at the same interval as the height of the hexagon structural unit. The other portion has a plurality of slabs as the plurality of main frames at the same interval as one-second height of the hexagon structural unit. In this case, there are the same effects and there is a further advantage that an inner design is highly variety.
- An architectural structure comprises one or a plurality of pillars placed in the inside, as the main frame extended in the perpendicular direction in the inside of the outer peripheral tube frame. Thereby, the strength of the architectural structure can highly be improved. Especially, the strength on the perpendicular load for the long term can be improved. As a result, the load of the outer peripheral tube frame can be reduced and size of the pillar or the beam of the outer peripheral frame can appropriately be thin.
- An architectural structure comprises one or a plurality of inner tube frames comprised of a second hexagon structural unit in the inside of the outer peripheral tube frame. Thereby, the architectural structure is a double tube frame. The inner tube frame is formed by rigidly connecting the second hexagon structural unit in the honeycomb-shape, like the outer peripheral tube frame. Thereby, the inner tube is highly strong. The hexagon structural unit and the second hexagon structural unit do not always have the same shape. By providing with the inner tube frame, the architectural structural is highly strong. As a result, the load of the outer peripheral tube frame can be reduced and size of the pillar or the beam of the outer peripheral tube frame can appropriately be thin.
- The height of the second hexagon structural unit of the inner tube frame is one-second height of the hexagon structural unit of the outer peripheral tube frame. Height of the second hexagon structural unit is shortened, and hereby the inclined pillar of corresponding each edge is also shortened. Thus, the structure becomes further strong against bend or tensile. In addition, the slab or the beam is easily provided in a position (a lower edge or an upper edge are positioned at the same horizontal position) in which the hexagon structural unit is matched to the second hexagon structural unit in a perpendicular direction.
- The outer peripheral tube frame and the inner tube frame are connected via the slab or the beam as the main frame. Thereby, the overall architectural structure can highly be strong.
- The architectural structure comprises the slab as the main frame in the inside of the inner tube frame. Thereby, the inner tube frame can highly be strong.
- Inside of the inner tube frame is void. Thereby, various structural elements can be placed. For example, an elevator, a common use facility pipe space, a story, or blowby is freely provided. In the architectural structure of the present invention, the only outer peripheral tube frame can bear the overall. Therefore, a free space in the inside of a core part is highly provided.
- The slab as the main frame may be either a flat slab or a slab having a beam. The advantage of the flat slab is that the dwelling does not have the beam. Also, the advantage of the slab having the beam is that the slab can be thin.
- An architectural structure comprises a dome-shaped part in which a plurality of pentagon structural units are inserted at the top of the outer peripheral tube frame. Thereby, the top of the building can be closed in a round dome-shape. A design can be variety. The inserted portion of the pentagon structural unit is connected to the hexagon structural unit in a state where bias or stress exerting a bad influence does not occur. Therefore, there is no problem on strength of the structure.
- The architectural structure provides with a tube width shift part in which a plurality of pentagon structural units are placed on one part of the central direction of the outer peripheral tube frame. Thereby, width of the outer peripheral tube frame can be reduced from a bottom to a top. For example, to reduce a load from an upper layer part in the high-rise or the super high-rise building, it is useful that the tube shift part is provided and the upper layer part is reduced. The design can be variety. When a plane-shape is a circular tube, width of the outer peripheral tube frame corresponds to a diameter. When the plane-shape is the tube of polygon, width of the outer peripheral tube frame corresponds to a mean diameter or extension length. The inserted portion of the pentagon structural unit is connected to the hexagon structural unit in the state where bias or stress exerting the bad influence does not occur. Therefore, there is no problem on strength of the structure.
- An extension architectural structure comprises a plurality of architectural structures. Each of architectural structures has structural strength as mentioned above. In addition, one part of each outer peripheral tube frame is shared each other and is connected. Thereby, the overall extension architectural structure is a structure having great earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance against deformations by bend or twist due to a horizontal load.
- An extension architectural structure comprising the plurality of the architectural structures. Each of architectural structures has the structural strength as mentioned above. In addition, each of architectural structures is connected by the beam or the slab as the main frame. Thereby, the overall extension architectural structure is a structure having great earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance against deformations by bend or twist due to the horizontal load.
- Two inclined outer peripheral tube frames in which the hexagon structural unit is rigidly connected in a honeycomb-shape are respectively connected in an X-shape or a -shape. Thereby, the structure has great earthquake-resistance and wind pressure-resistance against deformations by bend or twist due to the horizontal load.
- Inclined inner tube frames as the main frame are respectively provided in the inside of each of two inclined outer peripheral tube frames connected in an X-shape or a -shape. The main frame is a frame in which the second hexagon structural unit is rigidly connected in the honeycomb-shape. Thereby, the structure can highly be strong. In addition, each of the inclined inner tube frames as the main frame is adjacent. Each of the inclined inner tube frames can be connected directly. Each of the inclined inner tube frames can be connected via the slab or the beam. Further, various structural elements such as an elevator or a common facility pipe etc. can be placed in the inside of the inner tube frame.
