- the building construction illustrated is a multilevel parking garage, and is constructed principally by the assembly of three sets of building units.
- the first set of building units, designated 1, includes an elongated rectangular slab or deck member 2, formed of reinforced concrete.
- the slab may also be termed a floor-ceiling slab, as it forms the ceiling of the level below and the floor of the level above.
- Transverse beams 4 are provided at the ends of the slab. Extending downwardly from the beams, at the corners of the slab, are legs 5.
- the slab is provided with a set of transverse tendon passages 6.
- the legs are provided with vertical tendon passages 7.
- the longitudinal beams 3 are provided with tendon passages 8.
- tendon passages may be provided in each beam and may merge at their central portions.
- the passages are curved, essentially in catenary profile.
- Each passage 8 receives a tendon 9, in the form of a steel cable, which extends through anchor plates 10 set in the ends of the longitudinal beams.
- the anchor plates are provided with tapered openings which receive anchor wedges 11 that grip the ends of the tendons.
- the passages 8 may be formed in several ways, such as by 'a sleeve or liner cast in place, or by a rod of elastomeric material capable of being extracted after the concrete has been cast and set; or, the tendon itself may be coated with a lubricant, or encased in a sleeve. Regardless of the method employed, the tendon remains slidable in the passage so that the tendon may be posttensioned by use of conventional pulling tools applied to the exposed extremities of the tendons. Later, the tendons are cut so that grout 12 may fill the recess in which the anchor plate is located.
- each anchor plate may be provided with a lifting boss 13, which may be grasped by a suitable lifting fitting, or may be internally screwthre'aded to receive a lifting bolt.
- the protruding ends may receive lifting plates 14, held in place by removable clamping collars 15, all as indicated in FIG. 16.
- Each of the second set of building units, designated 16, includes a beam 17, similar in depth but of greater width than the longitudinal beams of a first'building unit.
- Each beam 17 is provided with longitudinal tendon passages, tendons and anchor plates as described in connection with the longitudinal beam 3.
- Each beam 17 is provided with end legs 18, similar to the corner legs 5, but having approximately twice'the cross section.
- each beam 17 is provided with side notches l9, intended to accommodate the ends of third building units 20.
- Each building unit includes a slab 2, corresponding to the first building unit, as well as longitudinal beams 3; that is, the transverse end beams 4 and corner legs 5 are omitted. Also, the ends of thelongitudinal beams are notched, as indicated by 21, in order to fit the notches 19 of the building unit 16.
- the three sets of building units are assembled by placing members of the first set of building units in endto-end and side-by-side relation. It is impractical to make the building units 1 of sufficient width to provide space for vehicles between the corner legs at each end. However, the length of each building unit 1 is sufficient to accommodate two rows of parked cars and a passageway therebetween.
- the second building units 16 are placed in lateral alignment with the adjacent ends of selected building units 1, and the building units 20 are placed between the beams l7 of the building units 16 and suitably secured thereto, thereby forming a deck which is a continuation of the deck formed by the slabs 2 of the first building units, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
- the first building units are secured in end-to-end relation by' tie bolts 22,. which extend through openings 23 provided in the end beams 4.
- the tie bolts receive load distributing flanges 24.
- grout 25 is forced in the space between the ends of adjacent units. It is preferred to provide such grout space rather than placing the building units in abutting relation as such spacing compensatesfor tolerance variations.
- the building units 1 as well as the building units 20 are placed in side-by-side relationship in such a manner that their transverse tendon passages 6 are placed in alignment.
- the passages 6 may be circular, but to provide tolerance compensation, they may be oval or rectangular.
- Each aligned row of passages 6 receives a transverse tendon 27, which extends continuously from one outside edge to the opposite outside edge of the building structure.
- the building units forming such edges are provided with exposedmetal channel members 28 bonded to the concrete as well as secured by suitable reinforcing, not shown.
- Each end channel is perforated to receive an end of the corresponding tendon.
- An anchor plate 29, perforated to receive the corresponding tendon, overlies the end channel 28.
- Mounted on each anchor plate or arranged to bear thereagainst' is a wedge collar 30, which receives a set of conical wedges 31 adapted to grip and hold the ten. don under tension.
- the sides thereof are not placed in mutual contacting relation, but space is provided therebetween to compensate for tolerance variations. Such spaces also aid in insertion or threading of the tendons 27 into the passages 6. For, in the case of partial misalignment, the end of the tendon may be guided into alignment with a succeeding passage.
- grout 32 is forced into the spaces between the sides of the building units. Temporary forms may be inserted upwardly between adjacent longitudinal beams 3 so as to retain the grout 32 in the space provided. It should be noted that the tendons 27 are thoroughly greased or otherwise coated so that any bond between the tendons 27 and the grout is minimized.
- the grout 25 and 12 preferably contains an expansive cement, such as the cement disclosed in US. Pat. Nos. 3,215,701 and 3,303,037.
- the grout mixture is compounded so that it swells slightly or at least compensates for any shrinkage that would otherwise occur so that on tensioning the tendons 27, there is no significant reduction in the overall distance between the extreme building units.
- Each anchor plate 29 may also serve to support in part a fence wall unit 33, each fence wall unit consisting essentially of a rectangular concrete slab having sockets 34 to clear the wedge collars 30, and also provided with mounting bolts 35 which are received in slots provided in upper portions of the anchor plates 29, which portions project above the slab 2.
- mounting plates identical to the anchor plates 29 may be used and may be bolted to the end channel members 28, as indicated in FIG. 9.
- the buidling units legs 5 and 18 of the lower or first level of building units rest on appropriate foundation piers 36, indicated in FIG. 14.
- anchor plates 38 are fitted over the protruding upper ends of the vertial tendons and appropriate wedge collars 39 and wedges 40 are applied, and the tendons are tensioned in a conventional manner. It is preferred, of course, to place the anchor plates 38, wedge collars 39 and wedges 40 below the upper surface of the upper deck of the structure so that the upper deck is free for use for parking purposes.
- the parking structure includes appropriately located ramps 41 which may be formed of modifications of the building units described, or may be conventional in construction. Also, suitable stairways 42 and elevator shafts 43 are provided.
- each of the buiding units contain conventional reinforcing, not shown, in addition to the tendon reinforcing described.
- the building units may contain expansive cement capable of stressing the reinforcing, or to compensate for shrinkage, or conventional cement may be used. While use in the individual units of reinforcing bonded to the concrete does create a localized stress condition in the reinforcing, the problem is not as severe as would be the case with the building as a whole.
- the building construction may be disassembled. That is, the tendons 27 may be removed as well as the bolts 22, and the top anchors 39. Then, the building units may be removed, those units having legs being raised from the tendons 37.
- the grout 25 and 32 is first removed, or, if it is intended to provide for later disassembly, the contacting surfaces of the building units are provided with a suitable parting agent; or, a non-adhering material is substituted for the grout. In this regard, it should be noted that the grout is maintained under compression so that there is no need for a bond with the building units.
- a known property of conventional concrete has been that if a concrete slab is sufficiently compressed in two directions within the plane defined by the slab, the slab becomes waterproof; that is, water does not penetrate from one surface through the slab to the opposite surface.
- the required compressive force has been determined to be about 300 psi in each direction.
- Such compression has been attained by sets of tendons extending in each direction, which have been posttensioned. If expansive cement, such as that disclosed in US. Pat. Nos. 3,215,701 and. 3,303,037, is used, part of such compression is attained by the interaction of the reinforcing as more fully disclosed in the aforementioned patent application, Ser. No. 662,602. In this case, less supplementary posttensioning force, for example, is required in order to attain the waterproof condition.
- each building unit may be post-tensioned at any convenient time; further, the building units may be stored for a long period before being assembled into the building structure and subjected to the transverse compression force exerted by the tendons 27 and when finally comp-essed in the order of 300 psi in the two axes, the slab becomes watertight.
- the grout if this includes a conventional portland cement base with or without expansible ingredients, it has been found that if compressed in the order of 300 psi in a single transverse axis between the ends or the sides of the slabs, it as well as the interfaces between the grout and the slabs becomes watertight.
