Abstract
A form assembly for forming a roof slab, an eave, and a peripheral beam in a monolithic structure is provided. The form assembly is detachably attached to upright columns of a housing frame structure and includes an eave formwork and a peripheral formwork. The eave formwork is mounted on the upright columns while the peripheral formwork is disposed between columns to be coupled to the eave formwork. The peripheral beam is formed between the eave and the roof slab and encloses a portion of top beams of the housing frame structure.
Claims27
A form assembly adapted to be attached to a housing frame having pairs of upright columns spaced-apart from each other, a horizontal beam having two ends resting on top surfaces of each pair of columns, and top beams placed on the horizontal beam, said form assembly comprising:
- a roof deck placed on said top beams and adapted to be used for forming a roof slab;
- an eave formwork adapted to be used for forming an eave, said eave formwork including an eave panel, a beam coupler downwardly extended from one end of said eave panel and adapted to be coupled to outer sides of said columns, and an end panel upwardly extended from another end of said eave panel;
- and
- a peripheral formwork adapted to be used for forming a peripheral beam disposed between said roof slab and said eave, said peripheral formwork disposed between said roof deck and said column, said peripheral formwork including a first panel, a second panel horizontally extended from one end of said first panel, a lower coupling panel downwardly extended from said second panel and adapted to be coupled to said columns, and an upper coupling panel upwardly extended from another end of said first panel and adapted to be coupled to said roof deck.
A form assembly adapted to be attached to a housing frame having pairs of upright columns spaced-apart from each other, a horizontal beam having two ends resting on top surfaces of each pair of columns, and top beams placed on the horizontal beam, said form assembly comprising:
- a roof deck placed on said top beams and adapted to be used for forming a roof slab, said roof deck serving as a lower boundary for said roof slab, said roof deck being permanently attached to said roof slab upon formation of said roof slab;
- an eave formwork adapted to be used for forming an eave, said eave formwork including an eave panel, a beam coupler downwardly extended from one end of said eave panel and adapted to be coupled to outer sides of said columns, and an end panel upwardly extended from another end of said eave formwork further comprising an eave support attached to a bottom surface of a distal end of said eave panel to said beam coupler providing support for a distal end of said eave when concrete is poured to form said eave, said eave support connected to said eave panel only at said distal end of said eave panel and not to any other portion of said eave panel.
A process for building a house having a housing frame having pairs of upright columns spaced-apart from each other, horizontal beams each having two ends resting on top surfaces of each pair of said columns, and top beams placed on one of said horizontal beams, said process comprising the steps of:
- providing an eave formwork adapted to be used for forming an eave, said eave formwork including an eave panel, a beam coupler downwardly extended from one end of said eave panel and adapted to be coupled to outer sides of said columns, and an end panel upwardly extended from another end of said eave panel;
- and
- providing a peripheral formwork adapted to be used for forming a peripheral beam disposed between said roof slab and said eave, said peripheral formwork disposed between said roof deck and said column, said peripheral formwork including a first panel, a second panel horizontally extended from one end of said first panel, a lower coupling panel downwardly extended from said second panel and adapted to be coupled to said columns, and an upper coupling panel upwardly extended from another end of said first panel and adapted to be coupled to said roof deck.
