Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a building accessible for persons, in particular a garage, comprising a load bearing structure and a facade.
  • Buildings such as for instance houses, high-rise flats or garages, can be build by first providing a body as a load bearing structure for said building.
  • said load bearing structure is usually manufactured from concrete.
  • the inner structure of said building for instance in the form of rooms, stairways, elevators etc, and the outer structure, for instance in the form of roofing and a facade, can be applied to said load bearing structure.
  • Manufacturing such a building may be costly and time consuming.
  • a building accessible for persons comprising a load bearing structure, wherein at least a part of a facade of said building is formed by a textile.
  • a textile as a facade, instead of for instance glass or concrete slabs, reduces the weight of said facade. This allows the use of a lighter load bearing structure.
  • the textile can be applied to an outside of a load bearing structure efficiently, for instance by tensioning said textile with suitable connecting means known in the art.
  • the means for connecting the textile are adapted to the load on said textile, for instance due to the wind.
  • the load bearing structure may hereto be provided with a framing for connecting the textile.
  • a facade an outer wall of a building is meant.
  • the textile extends between an inner space of said building and the open air and is adjacent to both.
  • the facade formed by said textile is thereby a non-load bearing facade. This improves the resistance of said building against for instance earthquakes and explosions.
  • the textile according to the invention is preferably arranged as a permanent facade, in contrast to for instance shielding a broken window using plastic.
  • substantially the whole facade is formed by a textile.
  • the facade may be formed by a single sheet of textile.
  • the sheets extend vertically, i.e. the height of the sheets is larger than the width with respect to the building, facilitating the application of said sheets. It is however also possible to apply the sheets in a horizontal orientation.
  • the textile is manufactured from a material chosen from the group of natural or artificial fibres or a combination thereof.
  • the textile comprises polyester.
  • the textile is preferably weather proof and resistant to wear. More preferably, the textile has fire resistant properties.
  • the facade comprises a plurality of layers of textile. This improves the isolation properties.
  • the layers may extend adjacently. It is however also possible to provide a space between the layers for further improving the isolation properties. Between said layers, isolation material may be provided.
  • the textile is provided with a print.
  • a textile with a print By applying a textile with a print to a building, the appearance of said building can be efficiently determined. It may even be possible to removable apply a textile to a building as a facade. This allows the appearance of the building to be changed efficiently by applying another textile as a facade.
  • the textile may be non-permeable to air preventing air flow between the open air and an inner space of said building. This increases the insulating properties of the facade.
  • the textile is permeable to air, providing exchange of air between the inner space of said building and the open air. It may also be possible to use a sufficient coarse textile to provide an at least partially transparent facade.
  • the textile When the textile is used as a facade of a building such as for instance an office or a house, the textile is preferably sufficiently fine to prevent precipitation, i.e. rain, hail or snow, from entering the inner space of said building.
  • precipitation i.e. rain, hail or snow
  • said building is a parking garage, wherein at least 20%, preferably at least 30%, of the total surface area of the facade is open to air. This ensures in a sufficient refreshment of air in said garage and ensures fire safety for the garage. It may be possible to provide only a part of the facade with an air impermeable textile and leave at least 20%, preferably at least 30%, of the facade open.
  • the textile preferably has a coarseness such that at least 20%, preferably at least 30%, of the total surface of said textile is open to air. On a given surface of said textile, at most 70% of this area is formed by the fibres of the textile. The at least 30% remaining surface area is formed by the meshes between said fibres.
  • the facade being open for 30% is based on a fire safety regulation. It may be possible that different countries have different regulations concerning fire safety of parking garages in terms of facades being open to air.
  • the invention is therefore not limited to the above mentioned ranges in case regulations require a different permeability.
  • a textile is provided which is sufficiently coarse allowing enough air to pass to meet the regulations for fire safety in parking garages.
  • a facade in the form of a textile can be applied to said load bearing structure efficiently. Further, by forming a facade of a garage from textile, the load bearing structure of said garage can be manufactured lighter compared to garages provided with steel, concrete or glass facades.
  • the load bearing structure of the building comprises structural steel framing.
  • parking garages usually comprise load bearing structures manufactured from concrete.
  • the load bearing structure may be assembled from pre-cast elements, forming said load bearing structure from concrete is a labour intensive work, whereas a load bearing structure from structural steel framing can be formed relatively efficient.
  • Structural steel framing furthermore allows the design of a parking garage to be adapted efficiently. It even allows—in a preferred embodiment of the present invention—the members of the framing to be reused after disassembly.
  • structural steel framing a framework of steel members is meant, wherein the steel members are provided with a specific shape or cross section and certain standards of chemical composition and strength.
  • structural steel members such as I-beams, have high second moments of area, providing a high stiffness in respect to their cross-sectional area.
  • At least the stands of said load bearing structure are formed by structural steel framing.
  • the vertical members or columns are at least formed of structural steel members. In particular, no concrete columns are provided. This results in a compact and light composition.
  • a further preferred embodiment of the building according to the invention comprises at least one floor, wherein said floor is formed by at least one profiled concrete slab.
  • a profiled concrete plate large areas of the building can be spanned. In particular in a parking garage this is advantageously, since providing columns for supporting the floors decreases the efficiency of the parking space.
  • Profiled concrete slabs further have relative small heights and weight with respect to their stiffness.
  • said profiled concrete plate comprises a hollow core slab. Hollow core slabs have a high stiffness, allowing spanning of large areas in the building.
  • a slab has a length of approximately 16 meters. This allows accommodating two cars in length with a driving passage provided there between. Other lengths are however possible. For instance, when cars are parked under an angle on a floor, the spanned space can be reduced.
  • the load bearing structure is arranged to support said slab at the short edges of said slab and/or at the perimeter of said floor.
  • a floor is formed by a plurality of slabs provided in a row.
  • the floor is then only supported at its perimeter, i.e. the edges of a floor. All the slabs in the row are thereby supported at their short edges, whereas the outer slabs can further be supported along long edges.
  • the space below said floor is thereby free of columns, which is in particular advantageously in parking garages.
  • a floor is formed by for instance two rows of slabs.
  • the load bearing structure is then arranged to support the slabs at their short edges, wherein the load bearing structure forms columns beneath said floor. This however still results in a floor with relative few columns compared to garages known in the art due to the large areas spanned by the slabs.
  • a slab is usually formed as a rectangular body with a height.
  • the height of said slab is usually smaller than the dimensions of the sides of said rectangular. Further, one side, the long edge, is usually longer than the other side, the short edge. Supporting the slabs only at the short sides allows larger areas to be spanned.
  • a parking garage according to the invention with a facade formed by a textile
  • the invention further relates to the use of a textile as a facade for a building according to the invention.
  • a textile for forming a facade is efficient and reduces the weight of the building, allowing a lighter load bearing structure to be used.
  • the textile is used as a facade for a parking garage. This allows substantially the whole facade of a garage to be covered, while still providing sufficient air circulation inside said garage.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a method for manufacturing a building according to the invention, comprising providing a load bearing structure and providing a textile as facade.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a parking garage according to the invention in perspective
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows the garage in side view
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows two floors in top view
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows a front view of the garage, and
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows a cross-section along line V-V in FIG. 3 .
  • FIG. 1 a parking garage 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • the parking garage 1 is provided with a load bearing structure in the form of structural steel framing 2 .
  • the structure comprises columns 21 , beams 22 and ties 23 to provide a solid framework.
  • a facade in the form of textile 3 is provided.
  • the facade is formed by sheets of textile 31 having a height h and a width d.
  • the edges of the sheets 31 are provided with holes for connecting said sheets to framing 2 .
  • Other suitable connecting means can however be provided.
  • the textile 3 is in this example provided with a print in the form of a ball. Adjacent sheets 31 hereby form said image.
  • the entrance 11 of the parking garage 1 is kept open and can be provided with a barrier or a gate.
  • the textile 3 has a coarseness allowing air circulation in said garage. In this example 30% of the surface of said textile is open for air. This provides good ventilation properties to the garage, while still providing sufficient protection to parked cars from for instance rain.
  • the garage 1 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2-5 .
  • the garage comprises eight floors, wherein the floors are provided staggered. Between the floors ramps 6 are provided allowing cars to move between floors.
  • a single floor 12 is formed by a row of five hollow core slabs 4 .
  • the slabs 4 provided in the middle, indicated with 4 a, have a length of 16 meter.
  • the edges of the floor 12 are supported by beams 22 and columns 21 .
  • floor 13 is visible in FIG. 3 , this floor actually extends higher than floor 12 , wherein ramp 6 can be used to get from floor 12 to floor 13 .
  • ramp 6 can be used to get from floor 12 to floor 13 .
  • floor 12 and 13 then form a single floor.
  • the shorts edges 41 of the slabs are then supported along the centre, indicated with V, of said floor by columns 21 and beams 22 .
  • the middle section as shown in FIG. 5 comprises twice as much beams 21 to support the slabs 4 as the end section as shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the design of the garage 1 as shown can be adapted easily. It is for instance possible to provide extra slabs in the rows forming the floors, thereby increasing the parking capacity.
  • the design can also be efficiently modified to include more floors. And as mentioned above, it may even be possible to form a floor using two rows of slabs, thereby further increasing the parking capacity.
  • the parking garage can then be efficiently finished by providing a textile 3 around the framework 2 .
  • the textile 3 provides an appealing appearance, while still providing sufficient air circulating in the garage 1 .
  • the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown, but extends also to other embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims. For instance, it is possible to provide a carrousel instead of the ramps to allow the cars to move between the floors. The framing structure is then adapted accordingly.
