Abstract:
1. A floor structure comprising: a plurality of steel beams arranged in parallel, each of said steel beams including a web, an upper flange disposed at an upper end of said web, and a lower flange disposed at a lower end of said web, a floor surface being formed on said upper flanges of said steel beams; and a pair of displacement preventing blocks disposed between each adjacent pair of said steel beams, each pair of said displacement preventing blocks including a left displacement preventing block and a right displacement preventing block; wherein each of said displacement preventing blocks is constituted by a single, unitary block and has a left side surface and a right side surface; wherein said each adjacent pair of said steel beams is constituted by a left side steel beam and a right side steel beam; wherein for said each pair of said displacement preventing blocks disposed between said each adjacent pair of said steel beams, said left displacement preventing block is fitted in a space defined between said upper flange of said left side steel beam, said lower flange of said left side steel beam, said web of said left side steel beam and said right displacement preventing block, and said right displacement preventing block is fitted in a space defined between said upper flange of said right side steel beam, said lower flange of said right side steel beam, said web of said right side steel beam and said left displacement preventing block; wherein for said each pair of said displacement preventing blocks disposed between said each adjacent pair of said steel beams, said left side surface of said left displacement preventing block is abutted against a right side surface of said web of said left side steel beam, and said right side surface of said right displacement preventing block is abutted against a left side surface of said web of said right side steel beam; wherein for said each pair of said displacement preventing blocks disposed between said each adjacent pair of said steel beams, said right side surface of said left displacement preventing block and said left side surface of said right displacement preventing block are abutted with each other, such that said steel beams are inhibited from being displaced downward due to a surface pressure and frictional engagement between said right side surface of said left displacement preventing block and said left side surface of said right displacement preventing block; wherein for said each pair of said displacement preventing blocks disposed between said each adjacent pair of said steel beams, said left displacement preventing block projects rightwardly from said web of said left side steel beam beyond right edges of said upper and lower flanges of said left side steel beam, and said right displacement preventing block projects leftwardly from said web of said right side steel beam beyond left edges of said upper and lower flanges of said right side steel beam, such that an upper gap is formed between said right edge of said upper flange of said left side steel beam and said left edge of said upper flange of said right side steel beam, and such that a lower gap is formed between said right edge of said lower flange of said left side steel beam and said left edge of said lower flange of said right side steel beam; wherein for said each pair of said displacement preventing blocks disposed between said each adjacent pair of said steel beams, said left displacement preventing block has a height fitted between said upper and lower flanges of said left side steel beam, and said right displacement preventing block has a height fitted between said upper and lower flanges of said right side steel beam, such that said left displacement preventing block and said right displacement preventing block do not have portions disposed in either of said upper and lower gaps; wherein said plurality of steel beams comprises a leftmost steel beam, a rightmost steel beam, and a plurality of center steel beams disposed between said leftmost steel beam and said rightmost steel beam; wherein each of said displacement preventing blocks, said leftmost steel beam, said rightmost steel beam and each of said plurality of center steel beams has a through-hole formed therein; wherein a tightening wire rod extends through said through-holes of said displacement preventing blocks, said leftmost steel beam, said rightmost steel beam and said plurality of center steel beams; and wherein said displacement preventing blocks, said leftmost steel beam, said rightmost steel beam and said plurality of center steel beams are tightened together by said tightening wire rod, such that, for said each pair of said displacement preventing blocks disposed between said each adjacent pair of said steel beams, said right side surface of said left displacement preventing block and said left side surface of said right displacement preventing block are press tightened against each other, and said left side surface of said left displacement preventing block is press tightened against said right side surface of said web of said left side steel beam, and said right side surface of said right displacement preventing block is press tightened against said left side surface of said web of said right side steel beam.
