Building seismic structure
Abstract
A building seismic structure involves placing a reinforcement
form a floor slab, or a beam and having the form secured by means
of multiple locating members to the floor slab or multiple columns
surrounding the floor slab followed with the pouring operation to
cover up each and all locating members to complete the seismic
structure that is capable of avoiding falling of concrete blocks or
collapse of the floor slab that may take place when subject to
extremely large force applied externally to the building thus to
significantly upgrade the safety and the structural strength of the
building.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] (a) Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention is related to a building seismic
structure, and more particularly, to one that effectively avoid
possible falling of concrete blocks or collapse of floor slab when
the building is subject to extremely large force applied externally
thus to significantly upgrade the safety and structural strength of
the building.
[0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Referring to FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, typically
in a pouring operation for the floor slab, or the beam of a
building, moldboards are usually erected and supported below before
overlapping the steel bars 11 over the moldboards both laterally
and longitudinally and wires 12 are used to tie up and secure the
steel bars 11 to complete a layer of steel bar framework. Multiple
bricks or cushion blocks 13 are properly placed beneath the steel
bars 11 to pour concrete into the framework. Moldboards are removed
once the concrete is solidified to conclude the pouring
operation.
[0005] However, by judging this type of floor slab structure, it is
found that the overlapped steel bars tied in check pattern allows
steel bars to be bound to the concrete by maintaining the steel
bars in the concrete slab, i.e., the weight of the concrete is
totally borne by the steel bars significantly showing insufficient
structure strength and the incidence of falling concrete blocks or
collapse of the floor slab 1 can easily take place when the
building is subject to extremely large force externally applied in
earthquake or mudflows and landslides to result in injuries and
damages to the life and properties of the tenants in the building
as illustrated in FIG. 2.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The primary purpose of the present invention is to s provide
an improved building seismic structure to effectively avoid hazards
of falling concrete blocks or collapse of the floor slab when the
building is subject to extremely large force externally applied
thus to significantly upgrade the safety and structural strength of
the building.
[0007] To achieve the purpose, a reinforcement form is first placed
below the floor slab or the beam, and multiple locating members are
used to secure the form to the floor slab or columns surrounding
the floor slab before commencing the pouring operation to wrap up
all the locating members.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a structure of floor slab
concrete frame of the prior art.
[0009] FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing that concrete blocks are
falling from the floor slab of the prior art.
[0010] FIG. 3 is an exploded view showing a structure of a floor
slab and a reinforcement form in the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 4 is a schematic view showing that an S shaped hook
catches a locating strip and a steel bar in the present
invention.
[0012] FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing that a reinforcement form
is secured to the floor slab in the present invention.
[0013] FIG. 6 is an exploded view of a structure of a beam and a
reinforcement form in the present invention.
[0014] FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing that a structure of a
reinforcement form secured to a floor slab in the present
invention.
[0015] FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a
reinforcement form being secured to a floor slab in the present
invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] The present invention is related to a building seismic
structure involving placement of a reinforcement form below a floor
slab and having the form secured by means of multiple locating
members to the floor slab or multiple columns surrounding the floor
slab, followed with the pouring operation to cover up each and all
locating members to complete the seismic structure that is capable
of avoiding falling of concrete blocks or collapse of the floor
slab that may take place when subject to extremely large force
applied externally to the building thus to significantly upgrade
the safety and the structural strength of the building.
[0017] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a reinforcement form 2 made of
metallic material and in a size approximately the same as that of a
floor slab 1 is disposed with multiple locating stripes 21. Two
locating strips 21 crossing each other are provided in the
preferred embodiment as illustrated. Each locating member is
related to an S-shaped hook 3 with one end caught in a preset
locating hole 22 on the locating strip 21 and another end caught by
a steel bar 41 erected to the floor slab 1 or a column 4
surrounding the floor slab 1 before commencing the pouring
operation to cover up each and all S-shaped hook 3 to complete an
seismic structure as illustrated in FIG. 5
[0018] Now referring to FIGS. 6 and 7 for another preferred
embodiment of the present invention, a reinforcement form is placed
below a beam 5. The reinforcement form is made of metallic material
and is related to a .hoarfrost.-shaped fillister 2' to cover up
where below the beam 5. Multiple locating strips 21' are disposed
in the fillister 2'. The locating stripe 21' is related to a
C-shaped steel while each locating member is related to the
S-shaped hook 3. One end of the S-shaped hook 3 is caught in a
locating hole 22's present on the locating strip 21' and another
end of the S-shaped hook 3 catches the floor slab 1 or two steel
bars 11, 41 of one of the columns 4 surrounding the floor slab 1
before commencing the pouring operation to wrap up each and all
S-shape hooks 3 to complete the seismic structure as illustrated in
FIG. 8. Furthermore, a lip 23' each extends along the top edge of
the fillister 2' towards its both sides to define a flushed plane
for bearing the floor slab to improve the appearance of the floor
slab.
[0019] The prevent invention provides an improved structure of a
building seismic structure, and the application for a utility
patent is duly filed accordingly. However, it is to be noted that
the preferred embodiments disclosed in the specification and the
accompanying drawings are not limiting the present invention; and
that any construction, installation, or characteristics that is
same or similar to that of the present invention should fall within
the scope of the purposes and claims of the present invention.
