Definitions
- a roof, floor or wall structure which uses individual elements of relatively small size and light weight, which can easily be manufactured and can be carried and assembled without difficulty, which structure has an adequate carrying capacity and forms a surface by itself so that the need for crossing systems is eliminated.
- the invention provides a carrying structure which comprises a plurality of thin-walled sectional building elements having side walls on opposite sides and being assembled with adjacent side walls of adjacent building elements in surface contact with each other, every two such side walls in surface contact with each other comprising joint-forming portions formed, respectively, with concenttrically arranged, complementary, interlocking elevations and depressions, said structure comprising also means for forcing said adjacent side walls against each other.
- thin-walled angled and/or arched elements of sheet metal or the like which may form lighweight beams lying one beside the other, are directly combined to form a surface-closing carrying structure, which spans the entire length and width of the area to be covered, the individual elements having at the joints prefabricated, concentrically arranged interlocking elevations and depressions and being forced together preferably by a clamping screw.
- the individual building elements are directly connected to each other to form a surface-closing carrying structure which does not require any understructure but can directly carry the roofing or the like. This results in a considerable saving in material and weight.
- the individual elements may be made of sheet metal, plastic or the like by machines in predetermined sizes and can easily be carried owing to their light weight.
- the construction of the joints according to the invention is of special importance. Metal sheets or the like have previously been connected by screws, rivets or welds. Rivets and screws tend to tear out and welding on the site is diificult, particularly with sheets of light metal.
- the forces accurring are transmitted from one element directly to the other through the sides of the interlocking elevations and depressions so that any clamping screw which is provided is not subjected to shearing stress and has only the function of forcing the elements together which are to be connected. For this reason the clamping screw may be replaced by pasting or welding the individual elements at the joints.
- elevations or depressions may consist of closed annular grooves and beads or may only have the shape of a segment or several cu-por cap-shaped individual elevations or depressions may be arranged on one or several concentric circles. These uneven portions are usually pressed concentrically with respect to a hole for receiving .the clamping screw so that the entire cross-section of the element is deformed at this point. Depending on the material used for the building elements it is also possible to cast or injection-mould the elevations or depressions at the joints or to provide special discs formed with such uneven portions and to afrlx them in a suitable manner to the predetermined joint-forming portions of the elements.
- building elements lying one above the other are connected by thin-walled sectional or tubular vertical and/ or diagonal struts and these struts are formed with the same elevations and depressions and are connected therewith to the joints between the building elements themselves.
- a carrying structure having upper and lower tiers or chords is obtained, which can be assembled in a simple manner from light-weight individual elements and has nevertheless a sufficiently high carrying capacity.
- the building elements are preferably of channel section and have depending flanges in the upper chord and upstanding flanges in the lower chord, the joint-forming portions being suitably provided only in the flanges.
- the downwardly open upper chord element has in this case the advantage that the compressive forces and the tensile stresses resulting from the bending of the individual element decrease in the depending flanges and in the case of an equal distribution of the load will always have the same relation to each other. stressed in tension where a flat underside is provided.
- the webs of the channel-seotion building elements afford the wide bearing surface desired.
- the channel-section which can easily be obtained, e.g., by fianging. does not only provide for a sufficient structural rigidity of the building elements but enables also the direct connection of the individual building elements to each other and the connection of the struts between the upper and lower chords to the flanges without additional means.
- the flanges of the channel-section building elements may be trapezoidal in shape, one joint being provided at the shorter end of the trapezoid and two joints being provided at the longer one. In this case the need for separate vertical and diagonal struts is eliminated.
- a construction of particularly low height will be achieved if an open-topped lower chord element and an open-bottomed upper chord are directly connected laterally at their flanges. It is understood that struts for stiffening may be inserted between the directly connected upper and lower chord elements.
- building elements having the shape of angled or arched troughs arranged to face alternately upwardly and downwardly with their open side may also be directly interconnected.
- the upper and lower chords of the carrying structure consist of building elements having in cross-section the The same applies to the lower chord shape of a V or W the chords may be connected by struts extending along three-dimensional diagonals.
- building elements consisting of at least two directly connected channel-sections This crosssectional shape is particularly suitable for building elements intend-ed for the construction of hollow walls. Panellike, preferably arched building elements angled on all sides may be provided, having joint-forming por- 'tions on all side walls.
- These building elements may be assembled, e.g., like a checkerboard to form an arch or dome and transmit forces in two or more directions. Independently of the form of the building elements the same may be provided with stiffening beads or ribs.
- cambered discs are provided for transmitting the clamping pressure from the clamping screws to the building elements. Owing to their camber these discs are sufiiciently rigid in spite of their relatively thin crosssection. These cambered discs have preferably fiat annular portions at the centre and at the rim and are slightly concavely drawn in next tothe central annular portion.
- the two annular portions ensure a snug engagement of the nut in the head of the clamping Screw, on one side, and of the building element on the other side of the disc, whereas the concave portion provides for an additional increase in rigidity and prevents the disc from being flattened under strong clamping pressure.
- the nuts of the clamping screws must be locked against rotation, i.e., against unintended loosening, after they have been tightened.
- the known lock washers are hardly suitable for this purpose because they require a complicated manipulation on the site.
- the nut of the clamping screw is held against rotation by a stud which is contained in a bore recessed partly in the bolt and partly in the nut and extending parallel to the axis of the bolt.
- the nut and bolt may be inherently formed with the recesses forming this bore. In that case it is sufiicient on the site to move the nut to a position in which the two recesses register and then to insert the stud.
- the shearing of the stud would have to be elfected over a very large cross-section.
- two or more such bores parallel to the axis are provided and the locking stud is preferably bent in the shape of a U to form a staple, which can be inserted into two bores at the same time as a double lock.
- the locking stud is prevented from falling out of the bore by an outwardly directed oblique enlargement of the bore adjacent to the bearing surface of the nut and the end of the locking stud is tapered in the form of a wedge.
- transversely extending bracing ropes are suitably provided at the joints between the building elements and spacers may be inserted, if desired, between the angled flanges of the building elements so that the flanges cannot bend together when the ropes are strained.
- the bracing ropes may be passed through bores in the clamping screws or the clamping screws may be eliminated and the bracing ropes together with tubular spacers may be used for pressing the building elements together at the joints.

- each the same are provided at the joint-forming portion with impressed or struck-out formations 4, 5 substantially of wave-shaped cross-section, which are concentric with a bore 3 and interengage, only the tapered surfaces being in firm contact.
- impressed or struck-out formations 4, 5 substantially of wave-shaped cross-section, which are concentric with a bore 3 and interengage, only the tapered surfaces being in firm contact.
- any tensile or compressive forces acting in the sheet metal plane may be directly transmitted from sheet to sheet through the sides of the elevations or depressions.
- a clampingscrew 6 is provided at each joint. This screw extends through the bore 3 and has a head 7 and a nut 8.
- the clamping pressure is transmitted from the clamping screw to the superimposed sheets 1, 2 by means of cambered discs 9, 10, which have fiat annular portions at the centre and rim and are slightly concavely drawn in next to the central annular portion.
- the disc 10 differs in form from the disc Q'inasmuch as it conforms more closely to the sides of the impressed or struck-out formations. It is also possible, however, to use discs such as 9 on both sides.
- additional washers 11 conforming to the elevations or depressions may be used, which may be provided only on one side, as is shown, or on both sides.
- additional washers 11 conforming to the elevations or depressions may be used, which may be provided only on one side, as is shown, or on both sides.
- Several superimposed sheets or other building elements may be connected in the same manner. If one clamping screw is not sufficient, two or'more such screws may be provided within the concentric rings formed by the elevations or depressions. Sealing or corrosion-preventing means or the like may be introduced into the hollow spaces between the sheets 1 and 2.
- bores 12 extending parallel to the axis of the bolt and recessed partly in the bolt and partly in the nut are provided and studs consisting of the limbs of a U-shaped locking staple 13 are inserted into two diametrically opposite bores.
- the bores Adjacent to the bearing surface of the nut the bores have outwardly extending oblique enlargements and the ends of the staple are tapered in the form of a wedge so that the latter are outwardly deflected when the staple is being driven.
- the staple is prevented from falling out. Strong tension on the staple will cause the deformed ends to be bent inwardly so that the staple 13 can be removed with pliers or the like.
- building elements 14 consist suitably of sheet metal and are of channel-section. They are interconnected in the longitudinal and transverse directions and the elements having depending flanges form the upper chord whereas the elements having upstanding flanges form the lower chord of a surface-closing carrying structure.
- the upper and lower chords are connected by channel-section vertical struts l and by diagonal struts 16 consisting of plain metal strips.
- ese struts 15, 16 have similar elevations and depressions as and are connected to the joint-forming ortions of the flan es of the buildin elements 14.
- the carrying structure consists actually only of directly interconnected individual beams, which lie one beside the other and each of which is very light weight.
- the building elements 14 and the struts l5 and 16 may be prefabricated with sufi'icient precision to form light and handy individual parts and can be assembled in a simple manner on the site to form the entire carrying structure, because it is sufiicient to insert the clamping screw with the washers and to tighten the screw.
- each of these elements is reduced in width ant height by the thickness of the material at one end.
- a transverse stiffening adjacent to the joint can be obtained by bending the transverse edge 17.
- the building elements as such are stiflened by forming them with beads 13.
- the stiffness may also be increased by cambering the Web between the flanges Besides, it is favourable to form the building elements 14 initially only with obliquely angled flanges; to obtain a cross-section having an approximately trapezoidal outline, and to set the flanges at right angles on the site. This will facilitate the carrying of the elements in a nested arrangement.
- the flanges of the building elements 19 may be trapezoidally shaped, having one joint forming portion at the shorter side of the trapezoid and two such portions at the longer side.
- the flanges of the building elements 19 may be trapezoidally shaped, having one joint forming portion at the shorter side of the trapezoid and two such portions at the longer side.
- PEG. 8 shows a carrying structure having a particularly low overall height.
- An open-bottomed upper chord element 2t) and an open-topped lower chord element 21 are directly interconnected laterally at their flanges.
- Building elements 22 in the shape of angled troughs may be similarly connected as is shown in FIG. 9.
- FIG. shows a carrying structure the upper and lower chords of which consist of building elements 22 of V-shaped cross-section interconnected by struts 23 extending along three-dimensional diagonals. These struts 23 do not extend in the plane of the drawings but are inclined relative to it. In this case there is no need for vertical struts. It is obvious that the V-shaped building elements could be replaced by elements of W -shaped cross-section.
- tubular elements 24 may be used as struts and be connected in the same manner to the other building elements. It is sufficient to pinch the tube ends and to provide the appropriate elevations and depressions on these flattened ends.
- FIG. 12 shows building elements 25, which have the cross-sectional shape of two direct channel-sections. These building elements are connected as shown and form a carrying structure which is also suitable as a hollow wall.
- cambered panel-shaped building elements 25 angled on all sides are provided, which have joint-forming portions on all side walls. These building elements are assembled in a checkerboard pattern to form a dome or arch. They may be connected by struts to a lower chord of similar construction and such a carrying structure can transmit forces in at least two directions. It is obvious that the building elements 26 need not be quadrangular but may be triangular or polygonal.
- a load carrying structure comprising in combination,
- said sheet members each having two faces and the joint forming portion of each sheet member being formed with a plurality of concentric annular projections on one face thereof, said projections defining an annular depression therebetween, and a plurality of annular depressions on the other face, said plurality of depressions respectively corresponding to said plurality of projections and defining an annular projection therebetween corresponding to the depression on said one face;
