Abstract:
A lifting method for constructing a building from top story to bottom story comprising the following steps:a. Column foundation piles (1) of a building are driven preliminarily according to traditional methods at a second story underground;b. Antishock material being laid on an upper plane of the column foundation piles (1) to form an antishock layer (2), ground bolts (17) are mounted, machined horizontal positioning steel disks (3) are laid on the antishock layer (2), all the horizontal foundation positioning disks (3) needed by the building are installed according to coordinates of various support columns, and are adjusted to the same height;c. An adjustable cylinder base (4) is laid on the horizontal positioning disk (3), then all the planes on the base being adjusted to a same horizontal height; thena cast steel hollow column (6) is laid on the horizontal foundation positioning disk (3), the cast steel hollow column (6) being adjusted, the horizontal positioning disk (3) and the cast steel hollow column (6) are fastened with the ground bolts (17);d. All of the cast steel hollow columns (6) are connected by main steel beams of a first story (12) via bolting or welding, then a story frame is formed with auxiliary steel beams of the first story (13) and the main steel beams of the first story (12) utilizing bolting or welding, steel plates are laid on the frame, concrete being placed and a floor of the first story (18) is produced;e. A main lift cylinder (9) is laid down in a round hole on top of the cast steel hollow column (6), a lower end face of the main lift-cylinder (9) is positioned on an upper end face of the adjustable cylinder base (4), then an outer periphery on the upper end is inserted in an inner circle of upper end of the cast steel hollow column (6), all three above components are machined in concentric fit reaching a definite matching accuracy;f. The main lift cylinder (9) is rigidly positioned on the cast steel hollow cylinder (6) with a cylinder positioning screw (5);g. A lower end face of a cast steel hollow column (8) is sheathed on an upper end face of the cast steel hollow column (6), being adjusted, connected and firmly locked with a joint bolt (7), then a steel structure foundation frame is formed using auxiliary steel beams (15) and the cast steel hollow columns (8) connected by bolting or welding, then steel plates are laid on a steel frame, placing concrete to form a floor of the second story (19), which is in the same ground level;h. A steel story post (21) is inserted into the cast steel hollow column (8) via erecting tools, causes the lower end of the steel story post (21) to be sheathed on a conical piston head of the main lift cylinder (9) via a machined conical bore the pistons of all the cylinders are lifted synchronously via a hydraulic jacking apparatus, when the pistons rise, the steel story posts (21) are lifted out from upper end internal holes of the cast steel hollow cylinders (8), top ends of lifted out steel posts are connected to form a horizontal square and upright steel frame by bolting or welding to prepared steel beams, while steel plates, reinforced concrete and waterproof thermal protective coatings are laid on the steel frame, and a penthouse (20) is formed;i. After a roof of the top story is completed, the cylinders continue lifting, until all the fourway square filleted througholes on the lower sides of steel story posts (21) are lifted out of a roof of the floor of the second story (19) on a foundation frame, positioning plug-in steel tenons (11) are passed through the side through holes of the steel story posts (21), the top story of the building is supported on the foundation frame, and the positioning plug-in steel tenons (11) are rigidly welded with the steel story posts (21);j. Main story steel beams (10) and auxiliary story steel beams (16) are in fixed linkage at the positioning plug-in steel tenons (11) and the steel story posts (21) via bolting or riveting or welding, lay steel plates on steel beams, placing concrete, outer walls, partitions and other construction facilities, after the interior and exterior finishings being completed, then a top story of the building is constructed;k. On carrying out the above working procedures, pistons of the main lift cylinders (9) retrieved, the steel story posts (21) are remounted, after an upper story is constructed, pistons are lifted, taper cones newly mounted on top of the steel story posts (21) of an upper story, since both interconnected ends of the steel story posts (21) are machine cut, having a definite matching accuracy, therefore an upper story can be lifted stably in a vertical direction, when fourway square filleted openings on lower sides of the steel story posts (21) emerge from the floor of the second story (19) on the foundation frame, the positioning plug-in steel tenons (11) are inserted to the fourway square filleted openings on lower sides of the steel story posts (21), the constructed top story and penultimate top story are supported on the foundation frame, repeat the said procedures of i. and j., after the penultimate top story is completed, thus construct from top to bottom story by story, until the first story on the ground has been constructed, which is the first story beyond the steel structure foundation frame;l. After all the stories are completed, the adjustable cylinder base (4) is turned to the bottom level, withdraw, then the main lift cylinder is dropped and taken out from a side opening of the cast steel hollow column with a forklift, the reinforced concreted being placed in the hollow openings of the cast steel hollow columns (6), (8) and steel story posts (21), finally interior and exterior finishings of the first story on the ground and the second story of foundation frame are completed.
