Module based building system

Abstract

Building system for utilising in vertical direction of an existing volume for example in mountain halls, hangars or free standing. The builidng system comprises in combination a number of pillars ( 6 ) constructed as vertical bearing elements, preferably having a quadratic cross-section, and with a lower termination in the form of a plate ( 8 ) or similar element for increased stability and weight distribution. Furthermore, a number of main beams ( 5 ) are provided, constructed as horizontal beating elements, for connection to the upper termination of the pillars ( 6 ), and a number of secondary beams ( 7 ) constructed for connection between two main beams ( 5 ). A deck in the form of substantially plane elements ( 4 ), for example arranged as gratings, is supported against the secondary beams ( 7 ), and forming a basis for storing objects such as pallets, containers, vehicles, etc.

1 . A modular building system comprising in combination 
 a number of pillars constructed as vertical bearing elements, each having a cross-section, and a lower termination in the form of a plate for increased stability and weight distribution,    a number of main beams designed as horizontal bearing elements, for connection to upper terminations of the pillars,    a number of secondary beams designed for connection between and perpendicular to two main beams;    a deck in the form of substantially planar elements, arranged as gratings for support by the secondary beams and for forming a basis for storing objects;    each of the main beams comprising two adjoining secondary beams connected side-by-side to each other;    a connection plate secured between each main beam and one of the secondary beams; and    a pillar top comprising a longitudinal sleeve having a cross section corresponding to the cross-section of the pillars and which slides onto the top end of the pillar, the main beams being connected to the pillar tops.    
   
   
       2 . (canceled)  
   
   
       3 . The building system according to  claim 1 , 
 characterised in that, plurality of brackets extend from the longitudinal sleeve of the pillar top, the brackets being provided with holes for connection between the adjoining parts of the main beams.    
   
   
       4 . The building system according to  claim 1 , 
 characterised in that each of the pillar tops at its upper end is equipped with a fixed plate for contact with the top end of one of the pillars.    
   
   
       5 . The building system according to  claim 1 , 
 characterised in that each of the connection plates comprises a plate part, having a number of connection holes for connection to one of the secondary beams, and upper and lower angular connections on a first end of the plate part, equipped with connection holes for connection between the two secondary beams forming a main beam.
