Evolving building structures improvements

Abstract

There is provided building structures that are demountable from a first configuration to be reassemblable to the first configuration or another configuration. The building structures include systems and kits for the structure, post anchors, kits for floor structure, method for assembling floor structures, wall and ceiling support systems, electrical junction box supports, and kits for frame assembly.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides better building structures that can be easily modified. These structures are made up of pre-fabricated pieces that can be easily assembled, moved, and reassembled in different configurations. The buildings have a space that reduces the transfer of heat between the inside and outside of the structure, and can be partially or completely disassembled and reassembled in different configurations. The technical effects are improved flexibility, modulation, and adaptability for building structures.

Problems solved by technology

However, such kits typically have only a limited number of parts and therefore only serve to assemble buildings according to a few simple blueprints.

Furthermore, many currently existing kits have only limited structural rigidity so that the buildings that are assembled using these kits are typically relatively simple buildings, such as sheds.

In cases where a kit is used to assemble a building, the builders have to resort to use traditional measurements techniques to assemble the kit components, with all associated risks of errors, and delays because of the measurement procedures.

Therefore, there is a need to take measurements, with all associated risks of errors, and to cut a piece of material, which often leads to unusable relatively small remaining pieces of material that are thrown away.

These traditional construction techniques are therefore relatively time consuming and generate relatively large quantities of wastes.

Also, in current modular buildings assembled using a kit, the building is generally assembled, and there is no possibility to demount the structure and reassemble the structure into the original configuration, or in another configuration since some elements of the original kit had to be destroyed during the disassembly process.

Furthermore, in currently existing buildings, whether assembled using a kit or using traditional construction techniques, there are typically many thermal bridges between an interior of the building and an exterior of the building.

Therefore, no insulation is provided at the location where these studs are found and heat may then be transferred between inside and outside the building through these studs.

The thermal bridges typically cause relatively large heat losses during winter and heat admission into the building during summer.
