Abstract:
1. A method of forming a building having a series of floors one above the other at least partially from modular pre cast concrete components and comprising the steps of; precasting a plurality of concrete floor panels, each said floor panel being formed with a planar floor on its upper surface and with side walls depending downwardly from the plane of said floor, and defining undersurfaces, and having rebars in said planar floor panels and edge rebar portions extending from said side walls; erecting form work troughs on supports at a work site for supporting said floor panels; placing said floor panels above and lying on said form work troughs at said work site, said floor panels being spaced apart and defining beam channel spaces between floor panel side walls of adjacent floor panels; placing beam rebars in said beam channel spaces; placing vertical rebar junction portions in said channel spaces; pouring concrete in said beam channel spaces, said concrete flowing downwardly therethrough into said form work troughs to form poured in place beams extending between and under said floor panels, said beams embedding said beam rebar, said floor panel edge rebar portions, and said vertical rebar junction portions; and, installing precast vertical columns said columns defining upper and lower ends, said columns having rebar sockets formed in said upper and lower ends with said vertical rebar junction portions received in said sockets at said lower end of each said vertical column.
