Abstract
Precast reinforced concrete girder pairs are placed to pass in parallel along either side of multi-story poured-in-place reinforced concrete building construction columns and be supported on haunches or be keyed to the columns, and are fastened in face-to-face contact to provide a rigidly braced, evenly loaded and easily fabricated skeletal building structure.
Claims6
In reinforced concrete building construction, the combination of
- (a) at least one reinforced multi-story concrete column configured with at least one bearing surface projecting substantially horizontally, defining in said column a configuration of the interface between transversely extending key-in-keyway groove,
- (b) at least one pair of elongated, horizontal pre-cast reinforced concrete beam members configured to comprise a configuration of the interface between transversely extending key-in-keyway groove complementary to that of said column and to bear upon said horizontal bearing surface conextensive with each other and vertically facing each other continuously past said column and faying with opposite faces of said column,
- (c) means securing said beam members substantially into interfacial contact.
