Sectional building with rectangular wall panels - has U=section frames with V=groove along web and locating tubes for pinned panel joint

摘要

The sectional building utilises rectangular wall panels (15) with an edge framing of a metal 'U' section. The flanges (18) turn in towards the body of the panel and the web has a continouos central 'V' section groove (19). Lengths of tube (20) are welded at interval in the grooves of the vertical edges, and vertical inter panel joints are made by passing a rod through the aligned staggered tubes of adjacent panels. An 'L' section forms a permanent shutter for an in situ concrete floor slab and a 'Z' section is fixed to the top of the leg to form an assymetric 'U' section. The grooved base of a wall panel sits on the shorter leg with screw fixings (29) through the longer leg (8).
