Abstract: The disclosed building construction system with split precast horizontal floor supports combines the strength and ease of construction of pre-cast concrete, with ease of transportation of cast-in-place concrete. The system avoids the requirement of casting difficult shapes by breaking the complex T-shape sections of prior patents into separate flat pieces. The formwork for flat pieces is simpler than that of complex items that include both long and wide components. For examine, T-shapes and cross-shapes are hard to cast and difficult to transport because these shapes do not sit flat, and thus must be supported at their ends. Instead of this complex casting and transport, the slabs are separated into shapes that can later be placed around the columns. This simulates the strength of a fully-precast system, while reducing the precast costs and transportation costs.

Abstract: The disclosed system divides the precast and cast-in-place construction into vertical and horizontal components. The vertical components are precast, permitting rapid vertical building construction without a delay for concrete to set. The three primary precast components are a column, a horizontal slab, and a central panel placed diagonally between the slabs. By separating the columns from the horizontal slabs, the molds required to precast are simplified and transportation of the precast elements is streamlined. The resulting precast components are also of a weight and size that is readily manageable using a standard construction crane. The horizontal components are a combination of cast-in-place, and precast components. The result creates a continuous unitary floor structure that carries larger loads with less thickness that purely simple span pre-cast construction.

Abstract: The disclosed system divides the precast and cast-in-place construction into vertical and horizonal components. The vertical components are precast, permitting rapid vertical building construction without a delay for concrete to set. The two primary precast components are a column that includes a horizontal inflexible slab portion, and a central panel placed diagonally between columns. Each precast component is a weight and size that is readily manageable using a standard construction crane. The horizontal components are a combination of cast-in-place, and precast components. The result creates a continuous unitary floor structure that carries larger loads with less thickness that purely simple span pre-cast construction.

Abstract: The structure disclosed within creates shelter, insulating the contents or individuals inside from the elements, while also generating electrical power. The electrical power is generated using one or more methods, the methods being interchangeable and varying depending upon the location of the structure, the time of day, and the seasons.

Abstract: The Power Generating Dome provides a structure that creates shelter, insulating the contents or individuals inside from the elements, while also generating electrical power. The electrical power is generated using one or more methods, the methods being interchangeable and varying depending upon the location of the Power Generating Dome, the time of day, and the seasons. The first and primary method of power generation is to harness the energy created by rising air. The rising air powers a turbine, and the turbine generates electricity. The second method of power generation is an omni-directional horizontal wind turbine, powered by wind blowing past the Power Generating Dome. The third method of power generation is a parabolic mirror used to turn water to steam.
