Definitions
- This invention relates to building apparatus, particularly but not exclusively to building apparatus for use in the construction industry.
- the building apparatus can be used in many different constructions, such as retaining walls, marine harbour construction, jetty construction, bridge foundations, land reclamation and/or the like.
- a scaled down version of the building apparatus can be used to form the elements of a child's toy.
- sea defence structures include stone laying or concrete pouring in areas vulnerable to flooding or erosion. However, it is difficult to arrange stones in such as way that they form a stable structure and do not let water pass through the same. Problems are associated with pouring concrete onto areas vulnerable to flooding or which are already under water and include transporting the equipment required to make and pour the cement, difficulties associated with cement setting in water to form a stable structure, cost, time required to form adequate defences and difficulties of moulding the cement on site into a desired shape.
- a further example of a known sea defence system is the provision of pre-cast blocks/units which can be arranged together to form a wall construction. These blocks have apertures provided therein and short pins made of fibreglass or metal. Blocks are typically joined together by lowering one block onto another block such that the short pin on one of the blocks locates in the aperture of the other block. This product is complicated and time consuming to assemble due the accuracy of the alignment required for a short pin to locate with a small aperture. This is undesirable, particularly if some of the construction is to take place in or under water.
- a single pin is in communication with a single block only and so stability of a construction using these blocks relies on a large number of blocks being used.
- An aim of the present invention is to provide building apparatus which can be used to form constructions both quickly and easily and which is inexpensive to manufacture.
- building apparatus including a plurality of pre-cast building units and at least one location member, the pre-cast units having at least one location portion and wherein the pre-cast building units locate with at least one common location member to form a construction.
- the at least one location member is an elongate rod.
- each pre-cast unit Preferably the top and base surfaces of each pre-cast unit are planar so that the units can be stacked on top of each other.
- the present invention has the advantage over the prior art in that a plurality of pre-cast units are in contact with any one common elongate rod, thereby creating a more stable structure resistant to earth and fluid pressure.
- the at least one elongate rod is secured in a surface on which the construction is to be built in a pre-determined position prior to location of the pre-cast units therewith.
- the location member is secured in the surface at the site on which the construction is to be built. In an alternative embodiment the location member is supported in a pre-determined position, at least in part, by the units locating with the same.
- the at least one portion of the pre-cast unit is a slot.
- the at least one portion of the pre-cast unit which locates with the location member is an aperture through which the location member passes.
- the pre-cast unit is provided with a single aperture or slot.
- the pre-cast unit is provided with two or more slots or apertures to locate with two or more location members.
- the slots can be provided on the same side and/or end of the unit.
- the slots can be provided on opposite sides and/or ends of the unit.
- securing means are provided to further maintain the units in communication with the location member.
- the securing means can comprise "key stones" which are placed in any remaining gap of the slot or aperture when the unit is located with the location member. The keystones prevent and/or limit unilateral movement.
- Adhesive means such as concrete can be used to fill any remaining gaps.
- a series of pre-cast units are placed one on top of the other in either an aligned or non-aligned, overlapping arrangement to form a construction.
- a common location member locates with a stack comprising a plurality of pre-cast units.
- the slot of a pre-cast unit is placed in an off-set relationship with the units above and below the same, thereby increasing the stability of the construction.
- the units can be arranged in layers and can be arranged in a jigsaw interlocking type configuration.
- the pre-cast units have interlocking portions on end or side walls which when placed side by side, end to end or side to end with complementary portions of a similar unit interlock, thereby further increasing the stability of the construction.
- the pre-cast units can be located with the location member by workers manually locating each unit in turn with a location member. In an alternative embodiment, the pre-cast units can be lowered onto or around the location member by a crane or other lifting apparatus.
- the at least one location member can be located in or on the surface in a substantially vertical position.
- the at least one location member can be located at an acute angle to the vertical.
- the slots or apertures of the pre-cast units are angled accordingly.
- the pre-cast units are cast from concrete or any other material which allows the units to withstand temperature, moisture extremes and land movement.
- polyurethane membranes can be provided between and/or around the pre-cast units, thereby preventing water ingress through the resulting structure.
- This technique can be used to prevent water/fluid form entering a particular designated area i.e., for use as flood defences, or keep water/fluid in a pre-designated area i.e., for use in reservoir/tank construction.
- a pre-cast unit comprising at least one slot and/or recess which allows the pre-cast unit to be located with at least one location member to form, in conjunction with a series of pre-cast units, a construction
- the pre-cast building unit comprises a single slot.
- two or more slots are provided on opposite sides and/or ends of the unit.
- the two or more slots are provided on the same side and/or ends of the unit.
- a construction including a plurality of pre-cast building units and at least one location member, the pre-cast building units having at least one location portion and wherein the precast building units locate with at least one common location member.
- the number of location members are spaced on a ground surface a pre-determined distance apart in such a way that the pre-cast units locating with the location members form at least one adjoining layer.
- a construction including a plurality of location members positioned on a ground surface and spaced a predetermined distance apart, and a plurality of pre-cast units, each unit having at least one location portion for location with one or more of said location members, said pre-cast units within said construction being arranged in a number of layers, and each location member being common to a unit in each layer.
- a method of forming a construction including assembling a plurality of pre-cast building units in a mutually supporting arrangement by locating at least one common location member with at least one slot and/or recess provided on each of said pre-cast units, and stacking said located pre-cast building units to form a construction.
- the pre-cast units can be used to form a construction in or under the water both quickly and easily and in all kinds of weather conditions. No special training is required to assemble the pre-cast units with the location members, which are self locating and the same can be fitted together in a similar manner to fitting a jigsaw together. Since the units and the location members are pre-cast, there is no requirement for the same to be made on site and they can be transported easily to a desired location.
- pre-cast units of the present invention can be fitted together to reinforce an existing structure by forming constructions in front of or behind the same without requiring the existing structure to be demolished.
- the pre-cast units can be provided in such a form that they allow workers assembling the pre-cast units to work on one side of the construction only. This is particularly advantageous when a water defence is being built and the workers can work on the land side of the construction.
- the pre-cast units can be provided in a variety of sizes and shapes making the same useful for a wide variety of applications.
- the pre-cast units and the location members are also inexpensive to produce.
- the design of the building apparatus and pre-cast units of the present invention allows additional pre-cast units to be added to a construction at a later date, thereby allowing water defences or similar to be raised as water levels rise.

- a single perspective view of a unit only is shown in Figure 1 for clarity, and a number of units in side view are shown in connection with rods 2 and 2' above.
- Units 14 and 16 are of a similar type to unit 8 but shown from the side, such that slots provided in each unit locate with rods 2 and 2' respectively. Alternatively the units can be provided with two slots, such that one slot locates with rod 2 and the other slot locates with rod 2', as shown by units 18 and 20 when viewed from the side. Units 14 and 16 can be placed in adjacent layers to units 18 and 20, so that in one section of a construction layer a unit contacts both rods and in adjacent layers a unit contacts a single rod, thereby forming a stable structure.
