Definitions

  • a foundation lattice framework is provided by juxtaposing concrete lattice frames on the bottom of the excavation.
  • Foundation blocks are placed in alignment on the foundation lattice framework so as to be astride adjacent lattice frames, adjacent joints of the foundation blocks being so disposed as to be located over an open space of the foundation lattice framework.
  • joints are connected and secured to each other by metal implements, a reinforcing bar being located on connecting metal implements. The lowermost ends of the reinforcing bar extends to the open space of the foundation lattice framework, which open space of the foundation blocks are filled with concrete.
  • the mat foundation according to the present invention makes it possible to obviate the disadvantages involved in the aforementioned conventional mat foundation installing method.
  • the present invention contemplates a mat foundation for use in construction .work in a pit excavation in the ground, a foundation lattice framework is provided by juxtaposing concrete lattice frames on the bottom of the excavation. Foundation blocks are placed in alignment on the foundation lattice framework so as to be astride adjacent lattice frames, adjacent joints of the foundation blocks being so disposed as to be located over an open space of the foundation lattice framework. There, joints are connected and secured to each other by metal implements, a reinforcing bar being located on connecting metal implements. The lowermost ends of the reinforcing-bar extends to the open space of the foundation lattice framework, which open space of the foundation blocks are filled with concrete.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of mat foundation according to this invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a plan of said mat foundation contemplated herein;
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken by the line Illlll in FIG. 2, showing the state of installation on a pit excavation;
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing another embodiment different from that of FIG. 3.
  • the numeral 1 denotes the ground, a pit excavation 2 being carried out in said ground, sand 3 being spread thereon uniformly, leakproof cloth 4 of vinyl or the like being placed on said sand 3.
  • lattice frames 7, 7' each consisting of concrete and comprising at least more than two longitudinal bars 5, 5' and transve rse bars 6, 6' are juxtaposed and a foundation lattice framework 8 is thus constructed.
  • foundation blocks 9, 9 On the foundation lattice framework 8 are placed foundation blocks 9, 9 in alignment and disposed rectangularly to longitudinal bars 5, 5 so as to be astride adjacent lattice frames 7, 7' and at least more than two longitudinal bars 5, 5'
  • the adjacent joints 10 of the aligned foundation blocks 9, 9' are adapted to be located above an open space 11 of the foundation lattice framework 8.
  • a pin 13 is inserted through metal implements 12, 12 provided as jointing members on both ends of the foundation blocks 9, 9' thereby enabling to securely join the adjacent foundation blocks 9, 9' to each other.
  • the metal implements 12,12 are adapted to project from longitudinal concave grooves 14 formed at both ends of the foundation blocks 9, 9.
  • the metal implements l2, 12 are provided at the upper and lower parts of the longitudinal concave grooves 14 of the foundation blocks 9, 9, one of said metal implements 12 being in the shape of a flat plate, the other metal implement 12 being so formed as to have a concave part to receive the flat metal implement 12 therebetween in a tongue in groove arrangement, the two metal implements l2, 12' being secured in place by inserting the pin 13 therethrough as shown in FIG. 2.
  • a reinforcing bar 16 having an inverted U-shaped section is fixed onto the upper one of the jointing mem bers, the lowermost ends 17 of said reinforcing bar 16 extending up to the open space 11 of the foundation lattice framework 8, thereafter the open space 11 and the joints 10 of the foundation blocks 9, 9' are filled with concrete 18 to obtain the mat foundation.
  • the transverse bars 6, 6 of the lattice frame 7 are formed in the shape of an inverted trapezoid unlike the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, the lattice frame can be leveled with ease by pounding the refilling earth 21 restored to the apertures 20' between the side walls 19 of the pit excavation 2 and the lattice frame 7 since the refilling earth 21 bites into the lower end of lattice frame 7 as a result of the pounding.
  • Leakproof cloth 4 is spread on the sand 3 as shown in FIG. 3. However, such cloth 4 can also be omitted. Furthermore, as to the joints of the adjacent foundation blocks 9, 9' and the metal implements l2, 12' for use in connecting said joints to each other as shown' in the drawings, it goes without saying that the construction of such joints and jointing members can be suitably modified.
  • the lattice frame 7 and the foundation block 9 can be integrated.
  • this invention relates to a mat foundation constructed by the use of lattice frames and foundation blocks are produced in the factory and assembled in the construction field with the result that the constructional precision can be greatly increased. Moreover, since these lattice frames and foundation blocks are light and convenient for transportation, the construction work is greatly facilitated.
  • foundation blocks 9, 9' are placed in alignment so as to be astride adjacent lattice frames 7, 7'.
  • the joints 10 of adjacent foundation blocks 9, 9 are placed so as to be located above open space 11 of the foundation lattice framework 8, the lowermost ends of a reinforcing bar 16 is fixed onto the joints 10 and extends up to the open space 1 1 of the foundation lattice framework 8, as a result of which not only the foundation framework, but also the foundation blocks can be integrated and consolidated by filling the the construction period can be greatly reduced since the assembling can be done without the necessity of discontinuing work and waiting until the concrete hardens.
  • a mat foundation comprising in combination a foundation lattice framework of lattice frames juxtaposed on the bottom of a pit excavation, said lattice frames having transverse bars formed in the shape of an inverted trapezoid; vertically elongated foundation blocks having lateral joining sections aligned on the foundation lattice framework, each of said foundation blocks being so disposed as to be astride adjacent lattice frames; adjacent joining section of the foundation blocks being so disposed as to be located above open spaces of the foundation lattice framework; notches on the joining sections to facilitate the securing of the joining members; metal tongue, groove and pin joint members connecting said joining section to each other, said tongue in one joining section entering the groove of another joining section to be held by said pin; a vertical reinforcing bar fixed to the joining members, the lowermost ends of the reinforcing bar being inwardly bent and extending into open space of the foundation lattice framework, the open space andthe joints being filled with concrete.
