Appl. No.:

12/660021

Inventors:

Steven Traulsen - Palm Coast FL, US
Robert McClellan - Palm Coast FL, US

International Classification:

E04B 1/02
E04B 2/82
E04B 1/38
E04H 1/00

US Classification:

521261, 52251, 52699, 522363

Abstract:

Prefabricated reinforced stackable concrete panels are provided for forming walls and roofs of multi-story buildings. Each panel has an embedded grid of vertical and horizontal steel rods secured together where they cross. The grid is anchored by brackets welded to a base plate along the bottom of each panel, and to another plate along the top. Leveling means (screw jack devices) are anchored to the top plate. At ground level the base plate of each prefabricated panel is welded to an elongated plate embedded in the concrete foundation. A second story is formed by stacking panels on a floor pan anchored to the leveling means of the first story panels, and a pour of concrete completes the inter-story floor, embedding the leveling means. Successive stories and roof panels may be added and anchored to the stories below in the same manner, creating an exceptionally strong structure of up to six to eight stories, firmly anchored to the foundation by the tying together of the reinforcing grids of the stacked panels. The interconnections of the reinforcement grids, the inter-story floors, roof and foundation create a steel skeleton analogous to the steel skeletons of modern construction of skyscrapers.

US Classification:

525871

Abstract:

A prefabricated panel and assembly of such for forming walls and roofs of buildings is formed with interior reinforcing rods, U-shaped anchor members embedded on the edges of the panel and secured members of mechanical fasteners embedded on opposing edges of adjacent panels, where the reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete body also pass through the anchors and the secured fastener members. An unsecured fastener member is connected to the secured member and tightened to join adjacent panels.
