Lateral Load-Resisting Structure Having Self-Righting Feature
Lateral Load-Resisting Structure Having Self-Righting Feature
US Patent:
5675943, Oct 14, 1997
Filed:
Nov 20, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/557801
Inventors:
George L. Southworth - Tampa FL
International Classification:
E04B 198
US Classification:
521671
Abstract:
The constructability of a concrete structure is facilitated by providing pre-assembled, modular frame units formed of steel or concrete beams and columns. Reinforcing bars have their opposite ends embedded in the beams that form each frame unit, but in most embodiments they are unattached to the columns because they extend through tubular debonding sleeves embedded within the columns. An elongate post-tensioning duct extends through each frame unit and an elongate tendon having opposite ends that may be placed under tension extends through the duct so that it compresses the frame unit. When a lateral load impacts against the frame unit, the reinforcing members that extend through the tubular sleeves stretch within the sleeves but their resilience urges the vertical columns to regain their vertical disposition when the impact passes. The elongate tendon that extends through the post-tensioning duct similarly urges the frame unit to regain its position of repose. Concrete edges of the beams are protected from spauling during tilting of the vertical columns by confinement members.

US Patent:
2010028, Nov 11, 2010
Filed:
May 7, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/437092
Inventors:
George L. Southworth - Tampa FL, US
International Classification:
E04G 21/14, E04B 1/19
US Classification:
5274517
Abstract:
A method for erecting a tower includes the steps of providing a first pre-cast section of concrete and positioning it atop a foundation. A radially-inwardly extending ledge is attached to an interior wall of the first pre-cast section and a plurality of jacks is positioned below the ledge in circumferentially spaced apart relation to one another. The ledge and the first pre-cast section are raised to a first height by operating jacks in an ascending mode. A second pre-cast section is positioned beneath the first pre-cast section after the first pre-cast section has been lifted to the first height. The first pre-cast section is lowered onto the second pre-cast section by operating the jacks in a descending mode or the second pre-cast section is lifted by operating the jacks in ascending mode. An assembly building that surrounds a base of the tower protects workers from inclement weather.
