Definitions

  • Multistory concrete buildings are constructed by assembling a plurality of rows of generally tunnel-shaped framework elements in aligned and abutting relationship on rails, with the rows parallel to each other and spaced apart, and then casting concrete about the elements. The elements are heated to hasten the setting of the concrete.
  • the elements are partially collapsed and withdrawn by rolling on the rails. Only part of a story is poured at one time, so that the tunnel-like elements can be removed from a previously poured story and immediately repositioned for the pouring of a portion of a higher story.
  • the object of this invention is to provide a method by means of which it is possible to manufacture a building on the building site from lfresh concrete such that a very high building speed is possible such that e.g. it becomes possible to build a living unit lwithin 24 hours. It is a further object of the invention to provide a method by means of -which a better monolithic structure can be obtained notwithstanding the greater speed of manufacture.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective View illustrating the method according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a form work element used in performing the method shown in FIG. l;
  • FIGS. 3 and 3a are front views upon the inner or back side of a tunnel-shaped form work element with transverse Iwall according to the invention
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-section according to the line IV--IV of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-section according to t-he line V-V of FIG. 3, also showing a part of a normal tunnel shaped form work as shown in FIG. 2 and connected with it.
  • FIG. 1 shows the manufacturing of a 4building according to the invention which building in its unfinished main structure is formed by floors 1 and parallel walls 2 lextendng from the front wall towards the rear wall, and also being parallel to the outer end walls 3 and 4 of nthe entire building.
  • the method of manufacturing takes place as described below:
  • Tunnel-shaped form work elements 8 are placed upon the rails by means of a building crane 9 (onl-y partly shown) and said form work elements are provided with means which allow to roll the element over the rails to bring this element in the proper position against elements already placed.
  • Said working platforms 10 are provided with rails 12 which form an extension of the rails 6.
  • plate-like form work elements 14 are provided having a scaffolding structure with a working platform
  • Similar plate-like form work elements can be placed on the right side of the right hand row of tunnel-shaped elements not shown, if an expansion joint has to be made.
  • reinforcement rods 16 can be placed as well as molds 17 for making door openings and the like. Also the necessary electrical equipment as well as water or gas conduits can be placed in the space between and above the form work walls.
  • the tunnel-shaped elements are provided with hollow panels connected with main supply and discharge conduits 18 and 19 which have to be connected to the conduits 20 and 21 of a heating unit 23.
  • 24 is a fuel tank for the heating unit.
  • the upper layer of concrete is poured over the top of the forms openings in said floor being made by means of members such as 27.
  • members such as 27.
  • blocks or plates 28 of heat insulating material some shown not in use on the oor 5.
  • the concrete is allowed to set during a period of e.g. hours preferably done during the night and after that period due to the heating of the concrete this concrete is sufficiently hardened to allow the removal of the forms which then immediately can be placed on top of the floor just finished or adjacent to it to make the next unit.
  • the height and width of the tunnel-shaped elements are reduced by means to be described later after which the elements are rolled upon the working platform 10 and lplaced on the next site by means of the crane which Workcan be done in the early morning hours provided the rails 6 are already placed.
  • the removal of a tunnel-shaped element is shown at 30.
  • the hardening process of the concrete is accelerated such that within the period of less than 24 hours within which the concrete is heated the same hardening result is obtained as within a period of 8 to 15 days without heating.
  • a system without heating the concrete there is a practical difference of 8 to 15 days in the connection of fresh poured concrete with concrete of an earlier period of the construction.
  • the same diiference exists when the pouring of concrete starts but at the end of pouring and hardening the concrete of the next floor there is only a difference in the hardening process of adjacent oors of 24 hours when the next floor is made on top of the foregoing. This means that building does not only take place very quickly but also that a better monolithic structure is obtained.
  • FIG. 2 shows a tunnel-shaped form work element in its simpliest form.
  • This element consists of the side panels 31 and 32 and two top panels 33 and 34.
  • the side panels 31, 32 and the top panels 33, 34 respectively are connected with each other by a frame work 35 formed by a number of beams which frame work ensures a rigid rectangular position of the side and top panels with respect to each other.
  • a frame work 35 formed by a number of beams which frame work ensures a rigid rectangular position of the side and top panels with respect to each other.
  • horizontal beams 36 forming part of the frame work the two halves of the tunnel are guided with respect to each other such that said two halves can be moved towards each other or away from each other over a short distance which movement is controlled by a rod 37 operating with left hand and right hand screw thread not shown.
  • a bolster or scantling 38 can be shifted by means of screw spindles 39 to ensure an uninterrupted top surface of the form work when the two parts of the tunnel-shaped form work are in the correct position.
  • this member 38 is lowered after which the two halves of the tunnel can be moved towards each other by means of the rod 37.
  • the side panels 31 and 32 are provided with screw jacks 40 having a ⁇ ball in its lower end to allow rolling of the element over the rails 6. Said screw jacks allow the location of the element at a correct height and enable lowering of the element when it is to be removed.
  • FIGS. 3, 3A, 4 and 5 show a special form of tunnelshaped form work by means of which it also is possible to make transverse walls during the same operation during which the parallel Walls are made.
  • the form work shown in these drawings comprises the side walls 41 and 42 the upper wall 43 and the back wall 44. Each of said walls is formed by 4panels through which a heating fluid such as hot water can flow.
  • Said panels are provided with a conduit extending from one side of the panel towards the other side and reverse to obtain more or less sinuous path and through said conduit or through a hollow space of the panel a heating uid can be fed to heat the outer surface of the walls 41, 42, 43 and 44.
  • These panels which in the upper portion can be indicated with 43a, 43b, 43C and 43d and in the back wall with 44a, 44h, 44a ⁇ and 44d are in the same way as the side panels 41 and 42 connected to a supply conduit 45 with branches 46 and 47 towards the side panels 41 and 42.

  • 52 is the main discharge conduit connected with the upper portions through the conduits 53 and 54 or 55 and 56 respectively and through the conduit 57 with the lower conduit 58 upon which the side walls 41 and 42 and the back wall panels are connected.
  • the form work element is divided in two parts which are shiftably coupled and guided with respect to each other by means of the guiding and locking members 59 and 60 and lby means of the tube 61 which at the opposite ends has been provided with left hand and right hand screw thread respectively to move the parts of the form work towards each other or away from each other in the same way as described with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the upper surface has been provided with a scantling 62 which as appears from FIG. 4 partly extends into the vertical part whilst further a scantling 63 has been yprovided between the vertical parts of the form work.
  • the latter can be moved inwardly by means of the adjusting means 64 formed by screw spindles and after suiciently displacing the scantling 63 inwardly the scantling 62 can be moved according to an inclined path downwardly and away from the back wall by means of similar adjusting means 65.
  • the side walls 41 and 42 of the form work are provided with two screw jacks 66 having in the same way as described in FIG. 2 a ball in the lower end by means of which the jacks are supported by the U-shaped rails 67 extending parallel to each other and having spaced apart from it a plat 68 defining the correct position of the side walls of the form work and finishing its lower edge.
  • the side walls 41 and 42 are provided with an arm 69 swingably mounted to the inner side of the side walls and having at its outer end a turning wheel 70 the height of which can be adjusted.
  • the drawings show the turning wheel 70 in the non-operative position but this wheel can be placed in front of the side wall of the form work above the rail 67.
