Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a prefabricated structural beam unit for a building structure. The beam unit includes a planar sole, two laterally spaced, elongate sidewall sections, and two longitudinally spaced endwall sections. The sole, sidewall sections and endwall sections combine to define a cuboid cavity at least partially filled with a composite material, wherein at least one endwall section includes one or more structural engagement connectors dimensioned to engage with, or interlock, under gravity assistance with one or more complementary structural engagement connectors forming part of a further prefabricated building unit of the building structure. Other embodiments relate to a prefabricated structural column unit.
Claims19
A prefabricated structural beam unit for a building structure, the beam unit including;
- a planar sole;
- two laterally spaced, elongate sidewall sections;
- and
- two longitudinally spaced endwall sections, the sole, sidewall sections and endwall sections combining to define a cuboid cavity at least partially filled with a composite material,
- wherein at least one endwall section includes one or more structural engagement connectors dimensioned to engage with, or interlock, under gravity
- assistance with one or more complementary structural engagement connectors forming part of a further prefabricated building unit of the building structure.
A formwork module for a prefabricated structural beam unit for a building structure, the formwork module including:
- a planar sole;
- two laterally spaced, elongate sidewall sections;
- and
- two longitudinally spaced endwall sections, the sole, sidewall sections and endwall sections combining to define a cuboid cavity dimensioned to receive a charge of composite material, wherein at least one endwall section includes one or more structural engagement connectors dimensioned to engage with, or interlock, under gravity assistance with at least one complementary structural
- engagement connector forming part of a further building element of the building structure, the formwork module further including a framework comprising a plurality of laterally spaced, elongate reinforcing bars extending
- substantially the length of the cuboid cavity, the formwork including a further integrated pre-formed structural engagement connector.
