Structure and method for erecting a structure

Abstract

A structure, including a framework formed by vertical supports each mounted in a foundation in a ground; beams attached at the vertical supports and extending horizontally between the vertical supports; usable units respectively formed from at least one ocean container and respectively directly supported exclusively on two of the beams; walkable access paths attached at the framework; and supply and discharge conduits from the ground to each of the usable units, wherein the vertical supports have a longitudinal grid distance in a longitudinal direction of the usable units so that the longitudinal grid distance corresponds to 0.4 times to 0.6 times a length of the usable units. Suitable ocean containers include at least one feature selected from a cubic steel framework; walls made of corrugated steel plate; corner fittings for handling; and/or an absence of windows.

 a cubic steel framework, 
 walls made of corrugated steel plate, 
 corner fittings for handling, or 
 an absence of windows. 
   
     
     
         2 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the beams are supported on consoles that cantilever transversally from the vertical supports. 
     
     
         3 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the vertical supports and the beams are prefabricated components made from steel reinforced concrete. 
     
     
         4 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the vertical supports have a transverse grid distance transverse to a longitudinal direction of the usable units that corresponds to two to three times a width of the usable units. 
     
     
         5 . The structure according to  claim 2 , wherein the consoles have a vertical grid distance in a longitudinal direction of the vertical supports that corresponds to 1.2 times to 1.6 times a height of the usable units. 
     
     
         6 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the access paths run essentially transversal to the longitudinal direction of the usable units. 
     
     
         7 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the supply and discharge conduits run at least in sections between two longitudinal sides of adjacent usable units that are arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the usable units. 
     
     
         8 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein at least sections of the supply and discharge conduits run in a channel that is configured in a longitudinal direction in the vertical supports. 
     
     
         9 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one feature is at least the cubic steel framework. 
     
     
         10 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one feature is at least the walls made of corrugated steel plate. 
     
     
         11 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one feature is at least the corner fittings for handling. 
     
     
         12 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one feature is at least the absence of windows. 
     
     
         13 . The structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one feature is at least the cubic steel framework and the walls made of corrugated steel plate. 
     
     
         14 . The structure according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one feature also includes the corner fittings for handling. 
     
     
         15 . The structure according to  claim 14 , wherein the at least one feature also includes the absence of windows. 
     
     
         16 . A method for erecting a structure, the method comprising:
 initially erecting a framework by supporting vertical supports in a respective foundation on a ground; thereafter   attaching horizontal beams between the vertical supports; thereafter   directly placing usable units formed from at least one ocean container on exactly two of the beams; and   installing access paths and supply and discharge conduits at the framework from a ground to each of the usable units,   wherein the vertical supports have a longitudinal grid distance of 0.4 to 0.6 times a length of the usable units in a longitudinal direction of the usable units, and   wherein the at least one ocean container includes at least one feature selected from the following group:
 a cubic steel framework, 
 walls made of corrugated steel plate, 
 corner fittings for handling, or 
 an absence of windows. 
   
     
     
         17 . The structure according to  claim 16 , wherein the at least one feature is at least the cubic steel framework. 
     
     
         18 . The structure according to  claim 16 , wherein the at least one feature is at least the walls made of corrugated steel plate. 
     
     
         19 . The structure according to  claim 16 , wherein the at least one feature is at least the corner fittings for handling.
