Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a structure and a method of manufacture.
  • Transportable buildings can generally be moved between locations. This assists in providing temporary accommodation or premises.
  • Fixed buildings are generally not easily moved. Rather, they are constructed at locations where they are to provide accommodation or premises for a long period of time. Although some fixed buildings can be moved but that is not easily achieved using the existing building methods/components.
  • a common method of constructing a residential or commercial building involves creating and installing a concrete pad on ground where the building is to be constructed.
  • the ground is first prepared by excavation and levelling.
  • the concrete pad is then formed in situ by pouring of concrete, or installing preformed concrete pads.
  • the cost of concrete is increasing due to its high carbon footprint.
  • forming concrete pads in situ can be a time consuming and therefore costly process.
  • Preformed concrete pads also have the limitations of being expensive to manufacture and difficult to transport and install.
  • An alternative construction technique involves installing piles in the ground over which the building is to be constructed.
  • floor frame work can be difficult to secure to the piles.
  • the piles are often inherently weak. Therefore, the piles are prone to failing when the building is exposed to external forces such as an earthquake.
  • Another common aspect of building construction involves forming a grid from wooden cross beams.
  • the cross beams are braced by wooden joists.
  • Floor boards are secured on top of the joists and beams.
  • the grid is generally secured to support piles.
  • All of those metallic beams are generally arranged into a two dimensional grid. That it, members extending lengthwise and width wise are at the same level as each other. This limits the flexibly of buildings that can constructed.
  • the strength of the buildings is limited because of the inherent weakness of the beams.
  • the building may therefore be susceptible to buckling or cracking were the building to be lifted.
  • a main structure is provided by welding steel beams together.
  • the steel beams all have a box cross section.
  • Additional components are pivotally attached to the main structure.
  • the attachment allows the components to be arranged so that the building takes the shape of a box-like freight container.
  • the arrangement provides the structure with sufficient integrity that it can be lifted up by a crane and/or arranged on a freight vehicle.
  • Standard freight containers can be stacked on top of the structure.
  • the components When in a desired location, the components are pivoted from the main structure to provide a roof, deck, and other parts of the building.
  • Patent No. 532620 All of the components of the structure disclosed by Patent No. 532620 are formed from box-section steel members. There is no discussion of alternative members that may be used in manufacturing the buildings. Therefore the system is restricted in its strength, which limits the usefulness and flexibility of buildings according to Patent No. 532620.
  • the structure of New Zealand Patent No. 532620 is utilitarian in nature. It is specifically intended to fold into a shape similar to standard shipping containers. This limits the types of structures that can be formed according to the disclosure of that patent. For instance the shape, height, width, and/or length of the structure are determined by the need to collapse to the size of a freight container.
  • NZ Patent No. 532620 Yet a further failing of the building disclosed in NZ Patent No. 532620 is that the engagement points for a lifting device are located at the top edges of the collapsed structure. This is a necessity of standard lifting devices used with shipping type containers. While that type of engagement is acceptable for use with shipping type containers, it is not so for different types of transportable buildings.
  • New Zealand Patent No. 563784 discloses a floor construction method and system using I or H shaped beams. The beams are cut along the web so as to facilitate securing floor units in between a pair of beams.
  • Patent No. 525996 Yet a further example of a building method is disclosed in New Zealand Patent No. 525996.
  • a building's floor is formed by securing C section channel members together.
  • the invention of Patent No. 525996 cannot be easily extended to use with or to provide transportable buildings.
  • a method of constructing a floor of a building including the steps of:
  • a floor of a building including: a footing element; a first primary support secured to the footing element; a second primary support secured to the footing element; wherein the first and second primary supports have a length and a width; at least two cross beams bearing on the first and second primary bearing members such that a longitudinal axis of at least one of the two cross beams is at an angle to the length of the first primary support.
  • a method of constructing a floor of a building including the steps of:
  • a floor of a building including a first steel I-beam that bears on and is secured to a row of support piles, a second steel I-beam that bears on and is secured to a row of support piles, a floor structure that bears on and is secured to the first and second steel I-beams.
  • a bracket including a main body, a collar extending from the main body, wherein the collar has a recess to receive an end of a support pile, a bearing surface having a width and a length, characterised in that the width of the bearing surface is greater than the width of the support pile.
  • the present inventions provide methods of constructing the floor of a building, buildings constructed using the methods, buildings including these floors, and improvements to transportable buildings. These inventions will be described herein with reference to each other and their use in combination.
  • footing element should be understood as meaning a structure to which the primary supports are secured.
  • the footing element is a foundation such as a plurality of support piles.
  • the footing element includes at least two pairs of spaced apart support piles, and preferably a plurality of support piles arranged into at least two rows.
  • the footing element may be a concrete pad, wooden foundation piles, or combinations thereof.
  • footing element perimeter This reference should be understood as referring to the outside edge of the footing element.
  • the footing element perimeter is the edge of a geometric shape defined by the support piles.
  • the footing element perimeter is relevant as cross beams may be cantilevered to the footing element e.g. extend beyond the footing element perimeter. This aspect of the present invention should become clearer from the following description.
  • primary support should be understood as meaning a rigid load bearing member.
  • the primary supports may have sufficient load bearing qualities to support the floor, and potentially substantially all of the building including the floor, when this is lifted.
  • the primary supports extend substantially along the structure's length.
  • the primary support is an I-beam.
  • I-beam should be understood as meaning a structural component having an l-shaped cross section.
  • I-beam is a term of the art and should be understood by those skilled in the art. I- beams may also be referred to by other terms such as H-beams.
  • An I-beam has a central web extending along the beam's longitudinal axis. Flanges are secured to the top and bottom edges of the central web. The flanges extend along the length of the beam's longitudinal axis. Therefore the flanges provide a surface on which the beam may be supported or can support other components.
  • the primary supports are box sections or C-channel sections.
  • the I-beam used may be matched to spacing of the support piles forming a footing element substantially according to the following:
  • Simple span refers to non-continuous I-beams that span across three support piles by joining. These are formed several individual lengths of I-beam.
  • continuous span refers to an integral I-beam e.g. an I- beam that is a single length without joins in a length of I-beam that spans across at least three support piles.
  • the inventors have surprisingly found that the combinations described herein for the I-beams and pile spacing provide a number of advantages. These include that floors construed according to the present inventions are more cost effective to manufacture than using other techniques. While the selection of the particular I- beams described above also enhances the cost effectiveness of the present inventions, is not simply a matter of costs. The particular combinations may lead to a number of synergistic effects. In addition, the above identified combinations of I-beams and spacing of support piles may prevent or reduce bouncing. Bouncing is an effect whereby the floor moves when a person walks across the floor. The inventors have discovered that the particular ranges of pile spacings address the issue of bouncing.
  • cross beam should be understood as meaning a load bearing member made from a metallic material.
  • the cross beams may be steel members having a "C" shape cross-section.
  • the cross beams may alternatively be I-beams as substantially described above and as should be known by those skilled in the art.
  • cross beams having a box shape cross section, T-beams, or tubular cross beams.
  • the cross beams form a frame work to provide the floor of the building.
  • the frame work formed by the cross beams is a rigid grid. This may be achieved by securing rigid members between the cross beams using techniques such as welding or fasteners. Reference will be made herein to the rigid grid.
  • the cross beams are transverse to each of the primary supports. Therefore, ends of the cross beams are cantilevered to the primary supports. In other words, the cross beams extend beyond the width of the primary supports.
  • the cross-beams may be cantilevered to the footing element perimeter.
  • the term "cantilevered” should be understood as meaning to extend beyond the footing edge perimeter without a support pile underneath or otherwise supporting the extended section of cross beam.
  • the cross-beams may be cantilevered in the range of substantially 0.5 - 1.5 metres.
  • Cantilevering of the cross-beams enables construction of a floor having a greater footprint area per footing element area. Therefore, smaller footing elements can be used to manufacture floors of a desired area than using previously known methods.
  • the amount of cantilevering is determined by matching the cross-beam size to the I-beam size. This may include matching cross-beams with I-beams according to the following:
  • the primary supports interact in a unique and unusual way with the cross beams forming the rigid grid. This interaction enables construction of a comparatively wider floor area from an initial narrow footing area. In effect the building's footing element is of smaller dimensions than those which are previously necessary to provide buildings having a desired floor size.
  • the forgoing advantages may be provided by the cross beams cantilevering with respect to the primary supports.
  • the rigidity of the cross beams ensures that a floor formed according to the present invention can support the weight of the building's walls and roof.
  • the primary supports are able to support the floor beams and the weight which bears on them.
  • the direction of the I-beams and cross beams forming the building provides unexpected improvements in strength. Furthermore, forming a plurality of rigid grids along the length of the primary supports provides flexibility in the type of materials that may be utilised with the present invention. Therefore, it is possible for the present invention to facilitate cost effective manufacture of buildings.
  • engagement point should be understood as meaning a component to facilitate a lifting device engaging the primary supports.
  • the engagement point may be provided by ensuring that the primary supports are accessible from the edges of the structure.
  • clamps, spreader bars, or other connectors are able to engage the primary supports.
  • the engagement points may be hooks, loops, or other connectors that can engage complementary connectors on a lifting device. Accordingly, the forgoing should not be seen as limiting on the scope of the present invention.
  • the structure may be a module forming part of a building.
  • modules are positioned or constructed relative to each other, connected and/or secured together, to provide a larger building.
  • This may be beneficial in making structures according to the present invention more easily transportable. That is, the structure has a size to enable it to be transported without requiring surveying of roads.
  • the structure may be a stand alone, independent building.
  • bracket should be understood as meaning a component to facilitate securing of a primary support to a support pile.
  • bracket's collar surrounds a support pile e.g. an end of the support pile is inserted into the collar.
  • Fasteners such as screws or nails extend through the collar and into the support pile, thereby securing them together.
  • the bracket also provides a bearing surface on which a primary support may bear.
  • the bearing surface is wider and/or longer than the support pile with which it is used. This is advantageous as it may compensate for human error in positioning the primary supports relative to the support piles. In effect there is a larger surface area on which the primary supports may bear.
  • fasteners can extend through the bearing surface and into the primary support. Accordingly the bracket facilitates securing the primary support to the support pile.
  • the present invention may include spacer components.
  • spacer component should be understood as referring to elements that hold the primary supports above the ground.
  • the spacer components are useful as they facilitate constructing a multi-level building using structures according to the present invention.
  • the spacer components are secured to support piles.
  • the structure is secured to the spacer components. This provides the primary supports in a position raised above the ground. A person is then able to construct a ground floor in the space underneath the structure.
  • the spacer components may be formed integrally to the structure according to the present invention.
  • the spacer components may be releasably attached to the structure. This may be useful in facilitating transport of the structure.

This may involve excavation, levelling, or adding of fill materials as is necessary to achieve a desired construction surface. In addition, retaining walls, stabilizing foundations, or other constructions techniques may be utilised. This is as should be understood by those skilled in the art.
  • a footing element generally indicated as (3) is formed in the ground (1). This involves forming a plurality of individual support piles which are each generally indicated as (4). Holes (not visible) in the ground (1 ) are made and concrete poured therein. This forms a concrete element (5).
  • timber piles (6) Prior to setting of the concrete, timber piles (6) are inserted into the concrete element.
  • the timber piles (6) may have a square or round cross sectional area.
  • the concrete is allowed to harden and set. This secures the timber pile (6) in the concrete element (5) to thereby form each support pile (4).
  • the support piles (4) are arranged in at least two parallel rows indicated generally as (7) and (8).

  • the first and second primary supports (17, 18) extend substantially to the end of the length of a building (2). Ends (51 , 52) of first and second primary supports (17, 18) are exposed and/or accessible underneath the building (2).
  • a first spreader bar (not shown) as should be known to those skilled in the art can be connected to end (51 ) of primary supports (17, 18).
  • a second spreader bar (not shown) is attached to end (52) of primary supports (17, 18) distal to first spreader bar.
  • the spreader bars are engaged by a lifting device (not shown) so as to raise building (2) and position this onto a truck deck (not shown), or other location as required.
  • cross beams and rigid grid assist by holding the first and second primary supports (17, 18) in a fixed position relative to each other.
  • the combination of the primary supports and cross beams help to ensure that the building (2) is less likely to buckle when lifted.
  • the inventor has found that there is a synergistic effect from the interaction between the primary supports and the cross beams.
  • the rigid grid, roof members, and wall members form a box type sub structure. This may improve the rigidity of the building and facilitate it being lifted (and therefore transported). That may improve the construction time of the building and reduce the need for skilled labour at a construction site.
  • first and second primary support's cross-sectional shape makes it particularly easy for lifting devices and spreader bars to engage these.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un procédé de construction d'un bâtiment, comprenant les étapes consistant à : (a) fixer des rangées de pieux de support sur le sol et fixer un premier support primaire à une première rangée d'éléments de base du bâtiment ; (b) fixer un second support primaire à une seconde rangée d'éléments de base d'un bâtiment pour former une grille rigide ; et (c) positionner deux poutres transversales ou plus faites en matériau métallique pour peser sur la surface supérieure des premier et second supports primaires, de sorte qu'un axe longitudinal d'au moins l'une des poutres transversales soit à un angle par rapport à la longueur du premier support primaire. Un bâtiment est également décrit conformément au procédé. Le bâtiment comprend une couronne ayant une surface de support supplémentaire et un collier pour fixer l'élément de support primaire à l'élément de base.
