Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to methods of manufacturing and construction, and specifically to commercial construction using cementitious materials.
  • precast/pre- stress concrete and autoclaved aerated concrete (A AC) to construct habitable multi-level buildings via the synergism of uniquely designed precast concrete support columns and beams, AAC beams, AAC floor panels and/or steel decking, sheer walls and exterior AAC panels with methodologies required to fasten the components.
  • the present invention overcomes the negatives and inadequacies of current methodologies inherent in precast systems that are disqualifying precast/pre-stressed concrete as the primary structural system in habitable multistory buildings. While precast is used for exterior facing, almost all habitable multi story buildings are currently being either constructed out of steel for speed or poured at site concrete for cost effectiveness. Precast on a whole is currently used more specifically for parking decks and highway bridges and the like.
  • Prior art for precast such as Piggins patent 1,380,324, May, 1921 are elementary first attempts of precast units being transformed into monolithic structures by pouring finishing concrete which are not economically practical in application .
  • There are some prior art composite steel and precast systems such as Fisher, et al. patent 5,704,181 January 6, 1998, that shows steel columns and beams with precast floor panels, but it is basically a standard steel support system with heavy and difficult to manufacture and transport precast floors.
  • Other systems such as Perrin patent 5,867,964, February 9, 1999 rely on complicated and exacting fastening and interlocking mechanisms.
  • Simpler methods of securing precast pieces together like having rebar pass through corrugated sleeves and then sleeves filled with grout to secure, have problems of: no guiding system to center the rebar in the sleeve so that the rebar will not rest directly against the wall of the sleeve that causes an inferior bond, time consuming requirement of pre-marking pieces so workers can know correct positioning that introduces element of human error, maintaining correct alignment and position without concern of subsequent movement, the fundamental problem of employing metal sleeve that is corrugated so that grout can bind rebar since concrete does not adhere to a smooth metal surface sleeve and all the construction problems of crane positioning and securing sleeves to form precast pieces, that crane and labor costs can exceed savings in a precast system.
  • corrugated sleeve systems such as splice systems, but they tend to be expensive, do not align easily and still require excessive crane and labor time.
  • prior art In constructing a multistory building, prior art typically places columns in a pattern at approximately 20' by 35' on center with the negative consequence of the more columns a building has the greater the material use and the less flexible the floor plan.
  • Prior art solid structural beams being placed on columns has problem in attempting to get as much concrete in as compact a space as possible; hence openings in beams are detrimental to structural strength.
  • the prior art requires mechanical sprinkler systems and air ducts suspended below structural beams with the negative consequences of adding height and volume to each floor. This additional height necessitates additional structural components and exterior surface area, as well as interior air space that must be heated and cooled. All these factors not only add to construction costs, but also to operational costs for owners.
  • Precast has negatives in manufacturing requiring forming multiple welding plates and then constructing at site that causes crane delays as pieces are positioned and then held in place by several workers while being welded. Precast pieces simply positioned in grouted precast seats lack ability to become a truly monolithic reinforced structure.
  • precast floor systems To overcome poured in place flooring, precast floor systems have been proposed but they have not proven practical due to manufacturing, transportation and installation difficulties associated with such heavy and bulky pieces of precast.
  • Stairways are an instrumental part of commercial buildings and usually are steel framing welded together at site and then poured with concrete which require labor intensive, skilled workers.
  • Sheer walls have many manufacturing and construction problems when precast systems are employed, similar in nature to problems of precast beams and columns, as well as downtime of the crane while waiting for shear walls to be welded in place.
  • precast systems Similar in nature to problems of precast beams and columns, as well as downtime of the crane while waiting for shear walls to be welded in place.
  • sheer walls are formed and poured at site they require a large amount of labor and time.
  • Exterior panels of AAC currently also have architectural deficit in design having to either be coated with stucco or, to achieve a higher quality finish, have tiles of marble, granite, or the like fixed to surface.
  • Prior art of manufacturing and installing the exterior AAC wall panels is to individually lay them on floor and position them inside structural columns with the result of difficulty of manufactured uniform exterior finish.
  • To accomplish a uniform exterior finish by suspending exterior panels to the exterior face of a building frame requires complicated and time consuming methods of individually installing each panel that does not overcome difficulty of being drawn tight together.
  • a primary objective of the present invention is the synergy of improved methods of manufacture and construction for a multi-story commercial building using precast concrete and AAC that increases building quality while simultaneously reducing construction time, material, labor and operational costs.
  • the steel pan poured system actualizes inherit moment capacity of the corrugated steel pan for concrete floor system by fastening it securely to support structure by unique screws with duplex heads that fit snuggly in factory punched holes in pan, or that are capable of drilling through meta pan, thereby allowing multiple floors to be constructed without delay.
  • AAC planer molder that allows for recycling of uncured, preautoclaved, "green” AAC.
  • m Provide a shear wall that is easily constructed on site using precast pieces that employ a reinforcing knob and funnel sleeve system and then as stairways are located in shear wall, mount stairway system to sheer walls.
  • n) Provide a special welding plate that simply clips members of precast concrete, such as shear walls, together and frees the crane to leave members in place and do other work while members are fastened by grouting or welding, etc.
  • This invention also helps the environment for it uses precast concrete and AAC so that no lumber is used and wasted for shoring, etc.
  • AAC is known as an environmentally friendly material as some factories have been recognized as "Green Factories.” Given the current rising costs of utilities and concerns of global warming, these are considerable advantages that the present invention makes economically feasible.
  • the present invention includes methods of manufacturing and constructing a multi- story building comprising uniquely designed columns, beams, a flooring system, an exterior wall system, a stairway and means of securing the components.
  • precast columns with the top surface having knobs with reinforcing rods protruding from their center are placed and secured to the foundation.
  • Primary and secondary structural beams with funnel shaped sleeves on the underside ends corresponding to protruding reinforcing rods and knolls in the column are placed on columns with reinforcing rods passing through corresponding funnel shaped sleeves in the beams without the use of welding or mechanical fasteners.
  • the next level of columns have funnel shaped sleeves on the bottom corresponding to protruding rebar and knobs placed on top of the primary and secondary structural beams.
  • the primary, secondary, cross and AAC beams are then placed on columns or into precast seats or joist hanger that are secured in indentations so no measuring is required. Workers simply put it into position and then grout joints.
  • the beams can be permanently attached to each other employing either of this present inventions two teaching: one a self-locking mechanism and the other a self-locking clip fastener.
  • the decking is attached to beams using a fastening system that employs actualized moment potential of decking, or instead, AAC panels are used employing system that provides moment via R-screws being used to secure AAC floor panels into composite pre- stressed/ AAC beams. Both systems are installed in an area not directly under where the next row of beams and columns are being set. The previous floor's deck is poured after subsequent level floor's decking is installed so decking acts as a safety net and prevent injury if a precast piece were accidentally dropped. Mechanics can be working in areas with or without decking poured, but preferably after decking has been poured. In an AAC floor panel system, all sprinkler, electrical, etc., are placed before topcoat is poured.
  • the three levels of assembly are thereby coordinated so that it is now possible to continue construction for as many floors as are desired uninterrupted. It is also possible for precast system to be built several levels in advance of pouring decking.
  • the present invention's system makes it possible to construct and pour 10,000 square feet of area in three days instead of standard seven days with much less labor and material.
  • the exterior perimeter columns can be either a composite of precast concrete with AAC inserts that are cast into the column or precast with receiving voids and steel created by a special mold.
  • the AAC exterior panels are then aligned to precast column's AAC inserts and simply screwed onto columns employing an auger screw.
  • AAC receptor inserts provide placement for workers, extra insulation to prohibit temperature transfer from fastening mechanism and facilitate installation in a much quicker manner than welding, and horizontal rebar placement using prior art is not possible .
  • the panels can simply be hung onto columns and grouted. The column's shear strength is maintained as grouted AAC inserts or voids do not interfere with tension cables or reinforcing.
  • both floor systems require a concrete finish pour, but unlike prior art, the present invention installs exterior panels before the floor is poured and the panels act as a form for final pour and can be integrated into floor thereby compounding the strength of the building.
  • Exterior panels are minimum R-30 as compared to minimal R-value for standard precast concrete. Exterior panels have architectural features uniquely manufactured into them at factory during cutting stage of production. AAC recycling planer/molder for adding architectural relief to exterior panels facilitates ecological recycling with advantages in time and labor savings as compared to procedures currently used on post autoclaved, cured AAC. Exterior panels employ a unique coating specialized for AAC that is water proof, vapor permeable and has aesthetic qualities far superior to simple stucco.
  • the stairway is basically precast and requires no welding to construct, only simple grouting and optional screwing to set.
  • Floor and roof joists/beams are secured to walls employing unique system that eliminates need for bond/ring beam by employing the diaphragm of floor or roof, thereby enabling a building to be constructed unimpeded.

  • FIGURE 1 is a partially exploded perspective view of the invention in a typical commercial building in various stages of construction, from start to completion.
  • the building is started with a foundation and first floor support columns being secured to/in the foundation or slab. Columns are set typically on 40' centers and then plumbed and anchored.
  • Precast support columns 20 are approximately 20" x 20" x 9'-6" high from base to top, except those columns supporting primary beams that are 24" x 24" x 9+" high. This provides a 9' high floor to finished acoustical ceiling and 6"clearance for lights under all support beams, except for under primary beams that have clearance for ceiling and wiring but not lights.
  • Support columns have precast funnel shaped sleeves 21 in the base for receiving corresponding reinforcing rods of rebar.
  • Rebar is simply installed at site (FIG 9B) and grouted.
  • rebar is opposite from standard current methodologies in that the rebar protrudes from inside the base of a subsequent column a distance sufficient to go through beams and into top of previous floor level's supporting column's sleeve a distance adequate to secure it when grout is added. This allows for field installation of rebar and then grout is poured into sleeve 21 instead of pumped.
  • Column's top has knobs 22 corresponding to beam's base funnel sleeves 21 that receive rebar.
  • the unique funnel shape of sleeves facilitates receiving the rebar by acting as a guide and additionally centers and positions piece being attached, whether beam or column, and then locking the piece onto knob to prevent movement from the correct position.
  • the columns are anchored by simply filling precast area of voids 12 that are larger than rebar with epoxy grout.
  • Columns have cast within them a receptor for rebar 11 that has pipe threading manufactured on it matching threads in receptor 23 so that reinforcing can be installed at site. By employing this receptor, columns do not have to have a rebar protruding from top of the precast forms or in transit.
  • AAC inserts 24 for receiving fasteners of exterior panels of AAC or alternatively interlocking fasteners shown in FIG. 14. These AAC inserts are located in such a manner that they allow pretension cables 25 to run through columns.
  • the funnel and knob system is coordinated with column and beam reinforcing 26 so when grouted the pieces become monolithic.
  • the sleeves that house the steel reinforcing rods are grouted they will create a continuous steel reinforced monolithic structure as beams have steel reinforcing running their length with loop around sleeves 21, as known in the art.
  • Beams identified as primary 30, secondary 3 land cross 32 are similar in design except for size and precast features.
  • Primary beams 30 being approximately 42" wide x 24" deep x 40' long
  • secondary beams 31 being approximately 36" x 18" x 20' long
  • cross beams 32 being approximately 24" x 18" x 20' long
  • AAC beams 33 approximately 8" x 18" x 20' long.
  • Perimeter beams 34 being approximately 24"x 24" x 20'.
  • Utility voids 39 are unique in being strategically located for both structural purposes as well as functional requirements of mechanical system so that a grid system results for ease of design and a reduction of as much as 33% of prior art's vertical height dead space is removed from the building.
  • the structural beam system represented in FIG. 3 is constructed on top of precast columns 20 as follows: first, the precast primary beams 30, are installed onto top of columns and later receive through its precast sleeves the rebar protruding from base of next level's column; after the primary beams are secondary structural beams 31 that are placed perpendicularly to primary beams 30 and grouted 49 into block out/seat 35 formed in precast primary beam 30; these beams (as well as all others as desired) can also be clipped 121 together ; then cross beams 32 are placed parallel to primary 30 and perpendicularly to secondary beams 3 land grouted into block out/seat 35 formed into precast secondary beams 31; lastly the AAC beams 33 that span parallel to secondary structural beam 3 land perpendicularly to primary beams 30 are secured by joist hangers 61.
  • the joist hangers 61 fit into shallower precast block outs/seats 62 formed in primary and cross beams that reduces potential error of measuring in field by workers.
  • the joist hangers 61 have clip system 160 attached to permanently secure them to beam without welding or grout. All beams as well can employ clip system 160 & 161 that will result in a reinforced monolithic structural frame without welding that has seismic flexibility and rigidity in desired directions.
  • the perimeter beams 34 have unique end design 36 to finish comers flush with rebar 11, knob 22 and funnel system 21 locking comers in place.
  • Perimeter beams 34 have precast seats on only the interior side and no utility voids. Perimeter beams can also have AAC inserts 24 to attach AAC exterior panels.
  • Beams do not require a curing time as they are secured by sleeve 21 and knob 22 system and pouring an epoxy mortar permanently sets beams. This adequately secures the structural system so than an entire floor level can be constructed and secured without any welding, mechanical fastening or further bracing other than temporary X bracing so that construction can continue unimpeded by prior art's welding and/or shoring.
  • This entire interlocking beam/joist floor support system can have one or more 40' x 40' quadrants, or even one or more smaller AAC 20' x 20' quadrants, rotated 90 degrees if required for mechanical duct work, sprinkler system, etc., by simple design of interchangeable block outs 32A and 35A and joist notches 62 in primary and secondary beams.
  • FIG. 3 A top view of partial floor plan engineered for structural beam system is shown by FIG. 3 with beams identified by number primary: 30, secondary: 31, cross: 32, AAC 33 and perimeter 34 and typical dimensional size with columns on 40 ' centers.
  • the flooring system FIG. 4 of 1 1/2" metal decking 40 is manufactured with predetermined holes 41 of a size fastening screws 53 modified with duplex heads and shaft and/or custom rebar that fits snuggly into the hole by the screw shaft being the diameter of the prefabricated hole and thereby transforms decking into a reinforcing panel against horizontal sheer, a completely unanticipated function in addition to a base support for poured concrete floors as known in the art.
  • the duplex head type decking screws 53 are inserted into AAC beam 33 so that heads protrude into 3 1/2" semi light-weight concrete decking and can be tied to reinforcing, etc. Where decking overlaps holes align so that entire floor system is monolithic reinforcing.

  • the sprinkler system's main pipe 51A runs in the gap between the panels and beam.
  • Sprinkler heads 54 protrude through the ceiling, that is the bottom face of the AAC panel, as code requires. Additional heads can be placed at minimal cost so that future remodeling of pace presents no problems, as even acoustical ceiling can be installed in rare instances to hide additional runs if required.
  • the sprinkler pipes After testing for pressure and drainage, the sprinkler pipes are covered in floor's cement topcoat that can be colored or stained and become a finished floor without the health hazards of carpet that contribute to "sick building" syndrome.

  • AAC insert is a beam void 55 that is precast using a large plastic screw 56 that when removed from mold it leaves a void cavity in the beam into that fastener point sits after being drilled through AAC floor panel and when epoxy is poured into the fastener and flows out of fastener the void is filled and thereby locks the panel into place.
  • FIG. 5C is a side view representing the beam forms 90 for utility voids.
  • Slightly conical to facilitate removal plastic utility void form piece 58 is simply slipped into the tight-fitting, whether round or oval, opening in form and bolt 59B in screw cap 59a goes through utility void form 58 in bracing bracket 59d to keep level so worker can easily slip utility void form over and as slipped into place the bolt receptor 59e forces bolt into tightening nut 59f that is held at location by holding bracket and by turning tightening nut pulls utility void piece's 58 end cap and walls tight against exterior walls of form 90.

  • Prior art FIG. 15 requires panels to be installed individually using a complicated attaching system requiring extensive site work and that cannot be welded.
  • the teaching of this present invention allows for three architecturally finished panels FIG. 14 to be hung simultaneously employing steel pieces and precast molding system. Panels 70 have a channel bored into them sufficient in size to receive rebar grout. The ends and appropriate comers are notched so that when hanging clip 145 or 145A is mounted into notch indented just less than flush.
  • the AAC receives the hanging clip and the mounting flange 147 has a hole so that the rebar 1 lpasses through the hole in mounting flange 147 and thereby secures flange in place sufficiently to hang panel to building.
  • the face of AAC is notched which prevents movement.
  • the welding flange 148 protrudes to surface of exposed face area and can be welded so that panels 70 via hanging clips 145 and building weld plate 142 can all be secured together with the small weld area 143 not effecting any architectural finishes nor other construction, such as window placements. Alternatively, only the panels can be welded and then hanging clip 145 can be free for seismic movement purposes.
  • weld plate mold 140 allows the precast to have a void produced by its flange 141 that will receive hanging clip flange 146 or 146A.
  • Figure 14D is example of prior art of attaching exterior panels that require exact positioning and a great deal more labor, time and expense, with a great amount of crane time to hold panels in position while being attached to support structure by means of field fabricating fastening system.
  • FIG 15 is current teaching of invention of interlocking system 150 that allows for immediate installation of beams 30 into column 20 making it possible to have columns multiple stories high and then dropping floor beams into place.
  • the male piece 150 has precast knob 151that fits into precast void and sleeve 23 and when grouted becomes monolithic.
  • the female void 151formed by mold 152 does not interfere with tension cables or reinforcing, and by sleeve 23 is integrated into reinforcing system by minimal connection points.
  • Sleeve 23 receives reinforcing rebar 1 lprotruding through precast male piece 150. These pieces are formed into interlocking shapes so pieces rest on each other while being grouted.
  • interlocking pieces 15 land 152 are inserted and are supported by precast areas 154 that reinforce in direction of force.
  • FIG. 15E makes obvious the advantages of invention due to prior art requirement to align multiple points simultaneously, several stages of framing and pours, etc.
  • FIGS. 16 - 16E shows a method of reinforcing building a frame that replaces prior art of bond/ring beam.
  • the bond/ring beam as shown FIG 16E is very time, labor and material consuming.
  • This invention uniquely employs the diaphragm of the floor system by integrating structural floor members, such as steel, wood or precast concrete joists 160, into precast or AAC wall 161, or whatever supportive structural component of building is employed, by means of either rebar 11, or large tube nail as known in the art for AAC, securing joist 160 into wall at field cut or precast notch 164.
  • the precast wall 161 is used as an anchoring system by means of a precast void 164 manufactured by void form 162A having a notch form 164A with alignment flange 165 A and rebar anchoring form 167.
  • the precast system has rebar positioning and alignment form 166A that corresponds to installation guide 166 for anchoring rebar 11.
  • the anchoring guide 162 and void form 162A work by joist 160 having set anchoring holes 163 that are always positioned at a set distance from top of joist that corresponds to intersection of rebar 1 l(or hollow nail in AAC application), that intersection is determined by set angle of rebar guide 166 and rebar form 166 A and 167, thereby allowing one guide and form to be used for various depth sized joists. Therefore various flange widths are compensated for by using a standard width at the ends acting as anchoring guides.
  • the anchoring guide 162 has a positioning bracket 168 that aligns joist for rebar 11 installation into reinforcing holes 163A in the joists.
  • Set pin 167A countersinks rebar or hollow nail 11 into wall void 167A.
  • the precast system uses rebar holes 163 A that allow for workmanship variations in spans as by simply installing a reusable rubber plug into the notch void 164 and then grouting notch and rebar voids 167B to make monolithic system.
  • FIGS 16C and 16D show steel joist 160 having a reducing flange 169 in cases where extra strength for long spans, etc., necessitate thicker gauge steel that makes attaching sheetrock, etc., almost impossible.
  • FIG 16D An example would be as shown in FIG 16D if joist 160 was 10-gauge and the reducing flange 169 14-gauge, the bottom reducing flange would be wider, that facilitates fastening by providing larger contact area, and return longer so that bottom flange's reinforcing value would be adequate.
  • the balloon coupling sleeve FIG. 17 employs an inflatable mold 170 that when initially positioned is inflated 170A and then after precast pour has cured it is deflated and removed from precast piece, leaving a void.
  • the void becomes a form that when precast member is installed at site, the coupling sleeve void is filled with high strength grout and hour glass reducing neck provides resistance greater than integral strength of rebar.
  • the locking potential of balloon coupling is increased by ridges 171 on the surface that create indentations in void surface.
  • grout pipes 173, as known in the art are installed and positioned to be on top surface of precast member.
  • a reinforcing rebar 172 and 172A, or other shapes, can be installed at the narrow neck of hourglass and tied to precast member's reinforcing to increase the coupling's strength.
  • special coupling 176 receives rebar inserted into balloon coupling and thereby coupling also uniquely provides sheer strength as well as tension strength.
  • An alternative to the balloon coupling sleeve is the threaded coupling sleeve 180.
  • First step is to slide special circular reinforcing rebar 172A onto precast' s rebar 11. Then screw threaded coupling sleeve 180 onto rebar 1 land slide circular rebar 172A over threaded coupling and screw it onto threads 186 on coupling sleeve. After member has cured, simply remove coupling sleeve by unscrewing.
  • hour glass threads 183 is screwed into the void's threads and the rebar inserted into coupling sleeve passes through hour glass threads 183 that has holes with reducing diameter, as diagram 185 shows, at end towards knob seat 22A.
  • the hourglass thread 183 also has notches 184 so when high strength grout is installed it locks whole system into place.
  • a funnel shaped receiver 187 can assist rebar fitting into hourglass thread 183.
  • a unique and interlocking rebar pattern 188 that acts like a paper clip is fitted over a group of coupling sleeves and then poured to become a monolithic precast system requiring no ties, etc., to secure.
  • a coupling sleeve 180A works with pretension cable 189.
  • the tension coupling 180A is slipped onto pretension cable and secured to the form frame. After the precast piece has cured the tension cable sleeve is removed with form and cable cut just short of knob seat 22A so it does not interfere.
  • tension sleeve 180A is grouted and rebar 11 from other precast piece enters pretension sleeve void.
  • the knob is fixed into the seat and when grout has cured the result is a continuous pretension cable and rebar coupling that overlaps as shown in FIG 18A so that enormous strength and building integrity results.
