Abstract

A unit building 1 comprising a building unit 20 having a Rahmen construction including a column 21 and beam 23 rigid-connected to each other and fixed to a base 10, wherein a column foot of a building unit 20 is rigid-connected to a base 10, and a diagonal member 101 is provided between the column foot of the building unit 20 and a middle portion of a ceiling beam 23.

Claims

1. A unit building comprising:

a column foot;

a base;

a diagonal member; and

at least one building unit fixed to the base,

wherein

the building unit has a Rahmen construction comprising a column and a beam rigid-connected to each other,

the column foot of the unit building is rigid-connected to the base, and

the diagonal member is provided between the column foot of the building unit and a middle portion of a ceiling beam or between a column capital and a middle portion of a floor beam.

2. The unit building according to claim 1, comprising a plurality of the building units connected to each other, each of the building units having a Rahmen construction wherein a column and a beam of said each of the building units are rigid-connected to each other,

wherein a floor beam of the unit building in an upper floor and a ceiling beam of the unit building in a lower floor are stacked with respect to each other, and

wherein the respective both ends of the floor beam and the ceiling beam are connected to each other so as to prevent a substantial shift therebetween.

3. The unit building according to claim 1, wherein

at least two of the plurality of the building units are adjacent to each other,

each of the at least two building units has pipe columns disposed adjacently across a gap made between the at least two adjacent building units,

the adjacent pipe columns are connected to each other by a bolt, wherein bolt holes are provided coaxially in respective opposed side walls of the adjacent pipe columns,

an operation hole for bolt mounting is provided in a side wall of one of the adjacent pipe columns, the side wall being in a back side of the side wall provided with the bolt holes,

an operation hole for nut mounting is provided in a side wall of the other of the adjacent pipe columns, the side wall being in the back side of the side wall provided with the bolt holes,

a holed spacer is provided in a gap formed between the opposed side walls of the respective adjacent pipe columns, the holed spacer being disposed coaxially into the bolt holes provided in the side walls,

a bolt, being inserted from the operation hole for bolt mounting provided in one of the pipe columns, is inserted through the bolt holes in both of the adjacent pipe columns, and

a nut, being inserted from the operation hole for nut mounting provided in the other of the adjacent pipe column, is screwed on the bolt.

4. The unit building according to claim 2, wherein

at least two of the plurality of the building units are adjacent to each other,

each of the at least two building units has pipe columns disposed adjacently across a gap made between the at least two building units,

the adjacent pipe columns are connected to each other by a bolt, wherein bolt holes are provided coaxially in respective opposed side walls of the adjacent pipe columns,

an operation hole for bolt mounting is provided in a side wall of one of the adjacent pipe columns, the side wall being in a back side of the side wall provided with the bolt holes,

an operation hole for nut mounting is provided in a side wall of the other of the adjacent pipe columns, the side wall being in the back side of the side wall provided with the bolt holes,

a holed spacer is provided in a gap formed between the opposed side walls of the respective adjacent pipe columns, the holed spacer being disposed coaxially into the bolt holes provided in the side walls,

a bolt, being inserted from the operation hole for bolt mounting provided in one of the pipe columns, is inserted through the bolt holes in both of the adjacent pipe columns, and

a nut, being inserted from the operation hole for nut mounting provided in the other of the adjacent pipe column, is screwed on the bolt.

5. A unit building comprising:

a base; and

a plurality of building units fixed to the base, each building unit of the plurality of building units comprising columns, floor beams, and ceiling beams connected to each other, wherein

a column foot of the building unit is rigid-connected to the base,

respective predetermined column-eliminated corner portions of the plurality of the adjacent building units are disposed adjacently to each other at a column-eliminated connection portion,

the ceiling beams of the adjacent building units form a joint ceiling beam, the ceiling beams being disposed in a plane which includes the column-eliminated connection portions of the adjacent building units and intersecting at the column-eliminated corner portion, and

the joint ceiling beams which are opposed to each other are connected to each other at the column-eliminated connection portion of the adjacent building units.
