MODULAR CONSTRUCTION MOLD APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING CONCRETE BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES

摘要

A modular steel-framed construction mold apparatus comprised of a plurality of contiguous foundation, cavity wall and roof deck void spaces defined and formed by assemblies of interlocking encasement panels and connectors integrally attached to a structural steel grillage for accepting, containing, and shaping wet concrete fill, a method for forming, casting, and encasing monolithic composite concrete and steel buildings and structures in situ using said mold apparatus, and a permanently encased monolithic composite concrete and steel structure constructed by employing the foregoing modular mold apparatus and method of concrete construction. The structural steel grillage supports the encasement assemblies before and during the casting process, becoming fully embedded within the cast concrete, and provides tensile strength complementing the compressive strength of concrete fill. The panelized encasement assemblies remain in place following casting protecting and insulating the resulting composite concrete and steel buildings and structures.

1. An encased monolithic concrete and steel composite building or structure in situ underwater comprising:
(a) a structural steel framework fully embedded within a monolithically cast joint-free concrete structure; (b) a monolithic concrete structure with interior and exterior walls and the underside of horizontal ceiling and roof slabs encased by panelized assemblies that protect and insulate the concrete surface.
