Sloped concrete roof and eave system

Abstract

A sloped concrete roof and eave method and system is disclosed which can be used in commercial or residential construction. The sloped concrete roof and eave of the present invention may be formed using several concrete construction methods.

1 . A building system with a sloped concrete roofing and eave, comprising:
 a plurality of floor slabs;   a plurality of concrete sidewalls having a formed concrete eave formed thereon, wherein the concrete sidewalls are connected to the plurality of floor slabs; and   a concrete roof, wherein the concrete roof is integrated with the formed concrete eave.   
   
   
       2 . The building system of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewalls, the concrete eave and the concrete roof are poured in place, integral with one another. 
   
   
       3 . The building system of  claim 2 , wherein the concrete roof includes a truss system. 
   
   
       4 . The building system of  claim 3 , wherein the concrete roof includes a plurality of purlin members. 
   
   
       5 . The building system of  claim 3 , wherein the concrete roof includes a plurality of polystyrene panels. 
   
   
       6 . The building system of  claim 1 , wherein the concrete eave is poured in place with the sidewalls and the concrete roof is precast and wherein the precast roof is connected to the poured in place concrete eave. 
   
   
       7 . A method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave, comprising:
 providing an eave form, a sidewall form and a roof support form, wherein the eave form, sidewall form and roof support form interconnect with one another to allow the free flow of concrete between the forms;   pouring concrete into the roof support form, the eave form and the sidewall form; and   allowing the concrete to cure to an appropriate stripping strength to form a sloped concrete roof, a concrete eave and a concrete sidewall.   
   
   
       8 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 providing a roof truss system, wherein the roof support form is supported with the roof truss system.   
   
   
       9 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , wherein the roof support form is supported with a hydraulic lift. 
   
   
       10 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , wherein a tunnel construction system is used to support the roof support form, the eave form and the sidewall form. 
   
   
       11 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , wherein an insulated concrete form system is used to support the roof support form, the eave form and the sidewall form. 
   
   
       12 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , wherein a handset form system is used to support the roof support form, the eave form and the sidewall form. 
   
   
       13 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , wherein a gang form system is used to support the roof support form, the eave form and the sidewall form. 
   
   
       14 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , wherein the roof support form includes a plurality of purlin members. 
   
   
       15 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , wherein the roof support form includes a plurality of polystyrene panels. 
   
   
       16 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 providing a precast roof.   
   
   
       17 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 providing a precast sidewall with an integrated precast eave.   
   
   
       18 . The method for constructing a building with a sloped concrete roof and connected eave of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 providing a strap connector connected to the roof truss system;   prior to pouring the concrete into the roof support form, the eave form and the sidewall form, positioning the strap connector between the roof truss system and the eave form, wherein when the concrete is poured and the concrete cures, the strap connector connects the roof truss system and the concrete eave.
