Method and apparatus for constructing multi-rise stacked modules for human occupancy

A multi-rise of stacked modules for human occupancy comprising:

• a. a plurality of support pads positioned in an array upon a supporting surface;
• b. support towers extending vertically from each support pad and including:
• i) a tubular base support bracket of rectilinear periphery with vertically extending aligning guides at each corner, said tubular base support bracket being constructed of concrete filled pipe;
• ii) a plurality of superposed tubular stacking brackets of complementary rectilinear configuration supported upon each support bracket, each stacking bracket being constructed of concrete filled pipe and defining a floor level and further including:
• a) telescoping portions extending vertically at each rectilinear corner, so as to engage complementally telescoping portions of said base support bracket and complementary telescoping portions of superposed stacking brackets;
• b) a support strut interconnecting said tubular telescoping portions of each stacking bracket adjacent an upper end;
• c. a plurality of module support planks extending through said tubular stacking brackets and supported by said support strut at each module floor level, said module support plank abutting at one end by an adjacent module support plank, such that said module support planks extending through said stacking brackets are positioned in lateral interlocking array at each floor level;
• and
• d. a dwelling module of rectilinier cross-section supported upon said support plank at each floor level, so as to define a central core and wherein at least one said dwelling module is laterally contained by said tubular stacking bracket telescoping portion and wherein each said dwelling module includes independent utilities;
• f. vertically extending electrical and mechanical surface panels extending between adjacent support towers about said central core, so as to be accessible to a module at each floor level;
• g. a ground level access structure defined adjacent said support pads and beneath tubular stacking brackets, so as to extend upwardly into a first module floor level, and
• h. tensioning rods extending diagonally from said stacking brackets in one support tower to said stacking brackets in another support tower.
