  • a non-limiting example method for assembly comprises:
  • Fig. 1 illustrates Step (I), in which a hole 101 has been bored into the ground 100.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates Step (II), in which a pile 102 has been inserted into the hole 101.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates Step (III), in which a crane 103 lowers a seamless pipe 104 with a sealed bottom 104B into the hole 101 to rest on the pile 102.
  • the seamless pipe 104 is suspended and supported by cables 103 A from the crane 103.
  • Step (IV) as shown in Fig. 4, a (three-dimensional) damper 105 designed to absorb vertical movement is lowered with a crane into the seamless pipe 104 with a sealed bottom 104B. Again, a crane 103 and cables 103 A are used to lower the damper 105 into the seamless pipe 104, and place the damper 105 on top of the sealed bottom 104B.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates Step (V), wherein a coiled steel sheet roll 106 is lowered by the crane 103 and cables 103 A to rest on top of the damper 105.
  • the coiled steel sheet roll 106 has an opening in the middle of the roll and is designed to absorb horizontal earthquake movement. This additional damping supplements the damper 105, designed to absorb vertical earthquake movement.
  • Step (VI) a further seamless steel pipe 107 is inserted into the opening of coiled steel sheet roll 106.
  • the further seamless steel pipe 107 has a flange 108 near the top of the pipe and a sealed bottom.
  • a steel plate 109 is placed on the flange 108, again using the crane 103 and cables 103 A.
  • the steel plate 109 has an up-facing edge and a through-hole whose diameter matches the outer diameter of the further seamless steel pipe 107.
  • Fig. 8 illustrates placement of a short steel pipe 110, on the steel plate 109.
  • the (relatively) short steel pipe 110 has an inner diameter measuring the same as the outer diameter of the further seamless steel pipe 107.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates placement of another seamless steel pipe 108 (with a flange near the top) into the short steel pipe.
  • the specific length of the short pipe 110 depends on the material used to make the pipe 110. For example, if chromium is added to a "mix" of steel to strengthen the steel, and a short pipe 110 is made from such a mixture, an example relationship of pipe lengths may include a short pipe 110 connecting two 25 meter length seamless pipes 107 (each having a flange), at about three meters from the top of the first (lower) pipe 107, and connected to the second (higher) pipe 107. In such an example, the (relatively) short pipe 110 could be 6 meters in length.
  • Fig. 10 shows seamless steel pipe 104 containing the steel coil and damper forming the foundation is shown protruding from the ground 100.
  • the crane 103 positions and places a floor forming structure 111 (in its folded state) on the steel plate 109 with two up-facing edges 109A.

  • the steel plate(s) 109, 109' are shown resting on the flange 108 anchored by short pipe 110 and seamless steel pipe 107 inserted therein.
  • the crane cable 103 A is shown in position to raise the floor forming structure 111.
  • the floor forming structure is stretched with a crane and the base and the top of the floor forming foundation is held in place by steel plates with up-facing edges for the base of the floor forming structure and by steel plates with down-facing edges for the top of the floor forming foundation.
  • the floor forming structure may be held by its own weight on the up- facing and down-facing edges of the plates, aided by the effects of gravity, and possibly by the additional weight of additional weighted components (i.e. other, higher, floor forming structures with steel plates that are stacked on top of the floor forming structure).
  • the size of the up-facing and down- facing edges of the may be increased or reduced accordingly. For example, in some configurations, a 'longer' edge may be preferred, i.e. if the floor forming structure is thicker or heavier, to provide more support, and at least the vertical dimension of the up-facing and down- facing edges may be increased accordingly.
  • Fig. 11 shows the floor forming structure 111, in expanded form, after stretching by crane 103.

Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à une construction au moyen de structures d'assemblage et de choix qui permettent une protection contre le temps, les éléments naturels et les dégâts causés par l'homme et résistent au temps, aux éléments naturels et aux dégâts causés par l'homme. Les structures et les choix sont très efficaces et bien faits en ce qui concerne les matériaux, la construction et l'impact environnemental.
