Abstract
Building by assembly structures and paths enable protection from and withstand time, natural and man-made damage. The structures and paths are highly effective and efficient with respect to materials, construction and environmental impact.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A method for building by assembly structures using common factory produced steel products, comprising:
a. boring a hole into the ground; b. inserting a pile into the hole; c. lowering a first pipe into the hole to rest on the pile; d. lowering a damper, configured to absorb vertical movement, into the first pipe; e. lowering a coiled sheet roll having a hollow onto the damper; f. inserting a first pipe having a flange into the hollow of the coiled sheet roll; g. lowering a plate onto the flange; h. placing an adjoining pipe, onto the plate, about the flange of the first pipe; i. inserting a second pipe having a flange, having a same outer diameter as an inner diameter of the adjoining pipe, into the adjoining pipe; j. placing an expandable floor forming structure on the plate; k. preparing to expand the floor forming structure; and l. expanding the floor forming structure to form a floor.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the floor forming structure and preparing to expand the floor forming structure comprises:
placing the floor forming structure, in a folded state, on the plate; placing a second plate on the flange of the second pipe; placing a second adjoining pipe on the second plate; and inserting a third pipe into the second adjoining pipe.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein each floor forming structure is expanded between, and held by, parallel sets of plates.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein steps f- 1 are repeated to construct a structure having a plurality of floors.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein structures measuring 120 meters tall or having up to 25 stories are constructed in a cost-effective, time-efficient and safe manner with little or no vibrations.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein each floor of a structure measures a minimum of 5 meters from floor to ceiling.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying one or more stability mechanisms from the group consisting of: three-dimensional dampers, coils, two dimensional dampers, cuffed dampers and cables, to the pipes of the structure.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein an assembled structure is protected from earthquakes with horizontal and vertical movement characteristics supplied by the steel coils and dampers, respectively.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein tall structures are constructed within, in the proximity of, and above monuments from antiquity slated for preservation and dual usage without adversely affecting the monument.
10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising placement of structure parts from above and by building by assembly or simply placing each part of the building on top or against each other whereby little or no vibration is caused during construction.
11 . A method of connecting building by assembly structures of claim 1 , comprising:
placing expanded floor forming structures adjacent to each other; holding the bases and tops of each floor forming structure with plates; draping sides of adjacent stretched floor forming structures about the bases and tops of the plates; and connecting each pair of adjacent floor forming structures with a “U” shaped device.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the floor forming structure may be expanded by an automated mechanism.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein hydraulic power is used to raise the floor forming structures.
14 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising suspending an accessibility structure against the side of the structure.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the accessibility structure is chosen from the group comprising a stairwell and an elevator.
16 . A building by assembly structure comprising:
a bored foundation having vertical dampening components; a plurality of flanged pipes about which plates rest; adjoining pipes securing the flanged pipes and plates; and at least one floor forming structure expanded between parallel sets of plates, wherein
the building by assembly structure components comprise common factory produced steel products, and
the number of floors in the built structure is further configurable, through the addition or removal of floors and related components.
17 . The building by assembly structure of claim 16 , further comprising cuffed dampers.
18 . The building by assembly structure of claim 16 , further comprising at least one track placed on at least one of the floor forming structures.
19 . The building by assembly structure of claim 18 , further comprising at least one floor plate overlaid on the at least one track.
20 . The building by assembly structure of claim 16 , further comprising an accessibility structure, suspended by cable against the side of the structure.
21 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the building by assembly structure may be dismantled in an easy and environmentally friendly manner, by reversing the building steps.
22 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the majority of the parts from the dismantled structure are reusable or recyclable without significant processing.
23 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the building process is environmentally friendly and minimally stresses the earth.
24 . The method of claim 23 , whereby the earth retains its original characteristics existing before the building had been constructed.
25 . The method of claim 23 , whereby water from floods or other natural events can optimally dissipate and seep into the earth.
26 . A method of building by assembly useful for the construction of at least one transit path, comprising:
a. boring a hole into the ground; b. inserting a pile into the hole; c. lowering a first pipe into the hole to rest on the pile; d. lowering a damper, configured to absorb vertical movement, into the first pipe; e. lowering a coiled sheet roll having a hollow onto the damper; f. inserting a first pipe having a flange into the hollow of the coiled sheet roll; g. lowering a plate onto the flange; h. placing an adjoining pipe, onto the plate, about the flange of the first pipe; and i. inserting a second pipe having a flange, having a same outer diameter as an inner diameter of the adjoining pipe, into the adjoining pipe.
27 . The method of claim 26 , wherein one or more of the at least one transit path is chosen from the group comprising: roadways, highways, freeways, expressways, railways, light rail, and railcar tracks.
28 . The method of claim 27 , wherein the at least one railway is designed for the operation of a mechanized car of the technology selected from the group comprising: steam, electric, diesel, monorail, maglev, and linear motorcar system.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
