A multi-floor building construction system for progressively constructing floors on load-bearing means of a foundation as the occupational need to do so arises and while sub-floors can be occupied. A permanent roof structure is displaceably supported over an uppermost floor of at least an upper one of one or more occupational floor spaces. Extensible load support means is secured in the roof structure until the completion of the mufti-floor building. The extensible load support means rests upon the uppermost floor to support the total load of the permanent roof structure. The extensible load support means is extendible downwardly to push against the uppermost floor to raise the permanent roof structure. Adjustable hoisting means is secured inside the permanent roof structure for lifting floor sub-assemblies fabricated in the construction zone using the extensible load support means while simultaneously raising the permanent roof structure.

A construction apparatus comprising a framework (3) installed above a completed structure of a building (10) so as to form a working space for construction work including installing permanent columns (6) over the completed structure, guide posts detachably held on the completed structure, elevating and locking mechanisms provided on the framework for elevating the framework to form the working space and for locking the framework to the guide posts, and construction means mounted on the framework and capable of carrying out the construction work in the working space. The framework (3) is provided with a cover (16) for covering the working space. A construction method of constructing a multistory building in ascending order of stories, comprising steps of elevating a framework (3) placed on a completed structure of the building to form a working space over the completed structure, locking the framework at an elevated position to the completed structure, sequentially installing permanent columns (6) in the working space, installing beams (7) between the fixed permanent columns (6), executing construction work in a structure formed of the permanent columns (6) and the beams (7), and disengaging the framework (3) from the completed structure. The construction apparatus and the construction method can be fabricated at a reduced cost and, in constructing multistory buildings, and the construction apparatus saves labor and enables the uninterrupted execution of construction work regardless of weather conditions. The construction apparatus is sufficiently resistant to earthquakes.

A frame system for a building structure includes beam members. Each beam member comprises two opposed, parallel flanges. A web is interposed between the flanges. Spreader members comprise two opposed, parallel side flanges, a web interposed between the side flanges and two opposed end flanges bridging the side flanges at respective terminal ends of the web. The beam members and the spreader members are configured to be fastened to each other to form a frame assembly.

The invention relates to a method for implementing a building framing particularly intended for individual or collective housing. According to the invention, the method comprises the following steps: - a step for assembling (11) on the ground a portion of said framing defining a carrier structure for a roofing of said building; a first attachment step (12) for attaching, on the ground, a first end of at least one pole (331, 332, 333, 334; 53, 54) with said carrier structure while allowing for an articulation of said pole (331, 332, 333, 334; 53, 54) with said carrier structure in order to form at least one displaceable portion in said framing; a lifting step (13) of said portion of said framing; a second attachment step (14) for attaching to a foundation member (39) of said building a second end of said pole or poles (331, 332, 333, 334; 53, 54).
摘要:
A construction system, method and apparatus for erecting buildings and the like is disclosed. The construction system comprises a plurality of lifting rams (20) operatively coupled to a power source and a controller operatively coupled to the power source to control the lifting rams. A plurality of elongate, telescopic lifting rails (28) extending beneath a construction element or part thereof, such as conventional roof members (18), are also provided. Each lifting rail is coupled to at least one lifting ram of the plurality of lifting rams to elevate the construction element to a prescribed height.
