  • FIG. 3 FRITZ CHRISTOPH STUGKY a RUDOLF MEULl their ATTORNEYS April 16, 1968 F. c. STUCKY ET AL 3,377,755
  • This invention relates to a system of building construction in which a building, such for example as a dwelling or a school, is built up of prefabricated room elements each having a shell consisting of two opposed walls, a floor, and a roof or ceiling, a plurality of these room elements being disposed end to end with a vertical joint face between adjacent elements to constitute a storey of the building.
  • a building such for example as a dwelling or a school
  • prefabricated room elements each having a shell consisting of two opposed walls, a floor, and a roof or ceiling
  • a plurality of these room elements being disposed end to end with a vertical joint face between adjacent elements to constitute a storey of the building.
  • the chief advantage of this system of construction is that it permits of a greater degree of prefabrication and therefore reduces considerably the amount of work which is required to be carried out on the building site.
  • some or all of the wiring, plumbing, and glazing can be installed in the room elements at the factory where they are made.
  • the present invention primarily concerns a prefabricated building unit adapted to constitute or be incorporated in a room element for use in the aforesaid system.
  • This invention therefore provides a prefabricated building unit comprising a pre-stressed floor panel and an upstanding end member at each of two opposed ends of the floor panel, the floor panel and end members being initially constructed as separate components but being rigidly connected together.
  • the invention also provides a prefabricated building unit comprising a floor panel of reinforced pre-stressed concrete and an upstanding reinforced concrete end member at each of two opposed ends of the floor panel, the floor panel and end members being initially constructed as separate components but having their reinforcements connected.
  • Each of the three components may have an exposed joint member to which its reinforcement is connected and the adjacent joint members may be rigidly or permanently connected by welding, bolting, riveting, brazing, or by use of an appropriate adhesive such for example as an epoxy resin.
  • floor panel and end members are initially constructed as separate components permits the floor panel to be made by ordinary commercial methods. It also permits the design of the end members to be varied readily in accordance with the architectural requirements for the outer walls of differing buildings.
  • the upper ends of the end members are preferably connected by tension means such for example as tension bars or their equivalent.
  • the invention also includes a prefabricated building unit comprising a pro-stressed rectangular floor panel, and an upstanding reinforced concrete end member at each of two opposed ends of the floor panel, said panel and end members being initially con structed as separate components, wherein the panel is so pre-stressed as to have a tendency to bow upwardly, the end members are united to it by rigid joints, and the upper ends of the end members are connected by tension means which pulls said upper ends towards one another and thereby counteracts wholly or in part said tendency.
  • tensile stresses are therefore set up at or near the outer surfaces of the two end members and the under surface of the floor panel and in the tension means. The inherent rigidity of the unit is therefore enhanced.
  • the tension means may be a permanent fixture in the component and/or in the resultant room element, or in the alternative may be removable in the course of erection 3,377,755 Patented Apr. 16, 1968 of the building being for example substituted by the floor panel of a superimposed unit.
