First Claim
Patent Images
1. A building system comprising a plurality of modular precast concrete components including:
- a plurality of precast concrete columns with capitals having a width of at least four feet and a thickness of about 10 to 24 inches, said columns being spaced apart from one another in a predetermined pattern;
a plurality of precast concrete beam slabs, each having opposing sides, opposing ends with a width of at least four feet, and hangers extending from the ends for suspending and supporting the beam slabs between the capitals of adjacent columns; and
a plurality of joist slabs supported between selected beam slabs and capitals to provide a floor surface.

Abstract
A building system uses modular precast concrete components that include a series of columns with wide, integral capitals. Wide beam slabs are suspended between adjacent column capitals by hangers. Joist slabs (e.g., rib slabs or other substantially planar components) can then be suspended between the beam slabs and column capitals to provide a floor surface.
