Circle framing

Abstract

New Framing design to structurally reinforce Concrete columns and replace traditional beam framing designs in use today. Using three circular plates with hollow centers, that are welded together to form a sphere. Also to further increase the initial circle framing design, adding additional circular plates diagonally to the cross sections until a complete sphere is used to maximum structural integrity.

Description

CLAIM OF PRIORITY

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/136,421 filed on Sep. 4, 2008, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 shows circular plate 1

FIG. 2 shows circular plate 2 cut in half, which is welded together to FIG. 1 to complete the circle as shown on FIG. 3.

FIG. 3 shows circular plate 3 cut in four pieces.

FIG. 4 shows circular plate 3 welded together to FIG. 3, completing the three dimensional circle framing.

FIG. 5 shows the angle of deflection, within a single circle framing sphere. The vertical force of gravity and pressure are shown on FIG. 5a. Within the circle framing, the vertical force and pressure is ultimately returned back to the initial point and passes through to the next circle framing.

FIG. 6 shows the circle framing with a increase tangent points. This increase the structural integrity of the complete assembly for a reinforcement of a concrete column. The angles of force within the circle framing assembly, increases due to the increase tangent points. Note how the angles within each circle framing decrease as it travels through each circle framing. Until the force diminishes and or passes through the circle framing. Combining the FIG. 5, FIG. 5a, and FIG. 6 will show how the force of gravity, pressure, and impact travels and or diminishes.

FIG. 7 shows the possible arrangements of the circle framing.

FIG. 8 shows a 3 dimensional picture of the circle framing used to reinforce a concrete column used in the construction of a bridge.

FIG. 9 shows a 3 dimensional framing using the circle framing of a building.

CONCLUSION

This allows for horizontal, vertical, and diagonal forces of gravity and pressure, to be directed to the next circle framing and or the ground. Stress from all three axis are equally disturbed to the next circle framing, without any point of failure. Unlike traditional framing methods today.
