[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a multi-story building having an exterior facade and a method for erecting the building and the facade. It relates to a method of installation or assembly. [Background technology]

[0002] For the facade of a multi-storey building, the facade is attached to the multi-storey building after the building is erected. It is known to use prefabricated modular elements. Therefore, a known method of constructing a multi-storey building involves erecting prefabricated facade elements. In addition to floors at any height of the structure, walls of the structure and, in some forms, windows are provided. Safety rails or scaffolding are required to provide access to the building. This involves the steps of i) erecting a scaffold or perimeter screen, and ii) extending the scaffold or perimeter screen upward from the ground or slab. iii) erecting supports for the upper floor; and iv) forming the upper floor. v) repeating the steps until the required height of the structure is reached; and vi) using scaffolding or perimeter scaffolding. vii) removing the lean-to; and vii) attaching the exterior facade to the structure. Alternatively, a known method involves constructing safety rails on any floor of a multi-storey building to prevent falls. This may include utilizing a harness for this purpose.

[0003] Where prior art is referenced herein, such reference is to be construed as a misreading of the prior art. This document is not an admission that any information contained herein forms part of the general knowledge in the art of the United States or any other country. I want you to understand that. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In its broadest sense, it refers to the erection of a multi-storey building in which the facade is installed before the floors are laid. Thus, this methodology involves first constructing the floor structure of the building and then This reverses the traditional approach of attaching a facade to the floor structure. The inner structure is enclosed by a facade that forms a safety barrier envelope during its construction. This allows for efficient construction from the side outwards.

[0005] The construction process involves installing part of the facade, erecting the floor, extending the facade, and then An iterative approach can be followed to allow the next floor to be erected.

[0006] This method involves constructing a multi-storey building without the need for scaffolding or perimeter screening. This has the advantage of saving material costs during construction. It also significantly improves construction time. The facade precedes the construction of multi-storey buildings. and erect at least one subsequent floor within the facade envelope. To achieve this, a new construction process is provided that speeds up the construction of floors, and the floors are installed. There is no need to install separate safety barriers while the construction is underway, while construction workers and equipment can be safely installed afterwards. It can be constructed from the inside of the building to erect the adjacent floors. offers integrated connectors that allow subsequent floors to be quickly connected to the facade You may do so.

[0007] In one aspect, disclosed is a multi-story building having a perimeter disposed around at least a portion of the perimeter of the building. A method of erecting a multi-storey building with a facade, comprising the steps of: At least a portion of the structure shall extend above the upper work area to a height of at least two stories. and forming at least part of a safety barrier for the work area, In erecting the object, at least one further floor of the structure is erected above the upper working area. , the floor or each further floor forms each subsequent upper working area of ​​the structure, At least a portion of the third extends at least one story above the top of the succeeding top working area. and a minimum of safety barriers for the next work area on top of it. form at least a part of

[0008] In some configurations, the floor or each further floor is provided with a facade so that the floor is connected to the facade. is formed.

[0009] In some configurations, once the top subsequent work area is formed, the facade is and increasing the height of the construction so that it extends at least two stories above the subsequent working area of ​​the At least one further floor of the structure is erected, providing a safety barrier for This makes it possible.

[0010] In a further aspect, a method of constructing a multi-story building is disclosed, the method comprising: Positioning a first facade assembly around at least a portion of a perimeter of the object; The board assembly includes a facade structure of at least one story height, the facade structure comprising: It is positioned so that it extends upward beyond the upper working area of ​​the building and A second facade assembly is attached to the first facade assembly, which forms part of the safety envelope for the area. and positioning the second facade assembly so as to extend upward from the first facade assembly. The body includes a second facade structure and a floor, the floor being a top floor that stands above the upper work area. At least one of the first facade assembly and the second facade assembly is arranged to form and connecting the

[0011] In some configurations, an exterior facade of at least two stories extends above the top floor. A further facade assembly extends upwardly from the second facade assembly so as to It is positioned as follows.

[0012] Also disclosed is a method for placing a multi-story building at least partially around the perimeter of the building during construction. and arranged to extend beyond the work area on the building, and A facade assembly forming part of a safety envelope for a work area of The facade assembly is connected to at least one further floor erected above the upper work area. The facade assembly is further configured to include at least one a facade structure configured to connect to at least one further facade assembly; include.

[0013] In some configurations, the facade assembly may include a floor connecting the additional floor to the facade assembly. This includes a support system that supports the facade structure before installation.

[0014] In some configurations, the support system may be configured to support the corners of the facade structure relative to the upper work area. It is adjustable so that the degree of focus can be adjusted.

[0015] In some configurations, the facade is formed from multiple panels, and the panels are stable. Forms at least part of the total barrier.

[0016] In some forms, the facade forms a framework. In some embodiments, the framework is formed from a plurality of interconnected frames. They form part of the facade panels. In other forms, these frames (with a more three-dimensional shape) The modules are formed as part of interconnected modules (each having a shape).

[0017] The advantage of using frame construction for facades is that they have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than panels. and can be easily connected to each other (using mechanical fasteners and the like). and can support a variety of infill materials and structures. For example, the infill element may be a window or door, or a replaceable barrier material. The frame may also be used for other purposes such as services, loading platforms, balconies and the like. It can be used to support or carry components.

[0018] In one form, the modules are freestanding, which allows for faster erection of the facade. This has the advantage of enabling the installation of a can be done.

[0019] In some configurations, the facade assembly is initially installed and forms a floor. They are sometimes used but are removed after the floors are erected and therefore are not part of the final building construction. These temporary supports may be used to support the facade assembly. In some cases, the body can be made to stand on its own while in place.

[0020] A method of constructing a multi-story building is also disclosed, the method comprising: and positioning a first facade assembly around the section, the facade assembly comprising: It is in modular form and includes a facade structure of at least one storey height, Facade construction is a construction that extends above and beyond the upper working area of ​​the building. It is positioned to form part of the safety envelope for the area.

[0021] In some configurations, the modules of the facade assembly are freestanding and can be attached to other facades. The board assembly modules are configured to be arranged side-by-side and stacked.

[0022] In some configurations, the facade panels or modules are installed at floor level on the building. Depending on the height, this is on the order of 3 to 4 meters. However, in certain circumstances, the design specifications of the building may require a higher It can be high or low.

[0023] If the facade assembly is a more modular structure, the depth of the modules may vary. In some configurations, these depths are 300mm, 60 In some embodiments, these modules may form part of the remaining floor construction of the building.

[0024] In some configurations, the building floors are erected on the upper or lower edges of the panels or modules. In some configurations, the floor is arranged so that the joints between adjacent panels In some embodiments, the facade assembly may span the floor facade. The device may include a connector to facilitate connection to the

[0025] This method involves the construction of multi-storey buildings without the need for expensive scaffolding or perimeter screening. This method also has the advantage of increasing safety. The facade acts as a surrounding screen or scaffolding to prevent objects from falling off the structure. This method means that the scaffolding can essentially be integrated with the exterior wall or exterior of the building. .

[0026] In some configurations, the facade panels are permanent facades, including fall protection and windows. It is made of a material strong enough to function as a

[0027] In some configurations, the facade panels are designed to be resistant to human contact during and after construction. Prevents falling from structures.
