OBERLIN S. CLARK, OF NORTH WEYIVIOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS.
REINFORCED-CONCRETE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 26, 1917..
Application filed November 11, 1916. Serial N 0. 130,906.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, OBERLIN S. CLARK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of North VVeymouth, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Reinforced-Concrete Building Construction, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to reinforced concrete building construction of the unit type and more especially to the roofs of reinforced concrete buildings, and my object is to provide a simple and effective means for making such roofs watertight.
My invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of a reinforced concrete roof embodying a form of my invention. Fig. 2 is a section of a modification. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 55 of Fig. 1.
In the particular drawings selected for more fully disclosing the several forms of my invention, 11, 11 represent roof beams suitably supported between pilasters (not shown) and carrying the roof slabs 23, each suitably reinforced by expanded metal or wire mesh 39. The roof slabs slope downwardly from the saddle board 40 which extends throughout the length of the roof and covers the joints between the inner ends of each pair of roof slabs. In Fig. 1 which represents a portion of the roof of a small building, such as a garage, the adjacent ends of each pair of roof slabs are transversely grooved as shown at 24 and the cover strip 25 is placed over the grooved portion of the slabs with its ends extending slightly be yond the grooves. The grooves break the capillary passage between the slabs and cover strip and carry' ofi any water which may work under the latter.
In Fig. 1 I show a modified construction for insuringawater-tight jointbetween the roof slabs, the upper edgeof the roof beams 11 being in such case provided with a groove 26 extending through the length thereof immediately under the drip 26 on the meeting edges of a pair of slabs.
For making the roof of a large building Watertight I prefer the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3 in which the top of each roof beam is provided with the groove 26 referred to above and the meeting edges of each pair of slabs are rabbeted, the lower rabbeted portion being provided with a longitudinal groove 41 communicating with the groove in the upper edges of the roof beams which support the slab. It will be understood of course that the joints between the meeting edges of each pair of slabs are pointed with cement mortar and that for clearness of illustration the joint in Fig. 3 is shown as open. Any moisture that may find its way through the joint into the groove 41 will be conducted to the groove 26 in the top of the roof beams and thereby carried away.
It will be understood that various modifications may be made in the arrangements herein particularly shown and described without departing from the principle of my invention.
I claim:
A reinforced concrete construction, comprising in combination a plurality of roof slabs, extending lengthwise of the roof the meeting edges of said slabs being rabbeted and the lower portion thereof having a groove extending throughout the length of the slab, and lengthwise of the roof and roof beams supporting said slabs, the upper edge of each beam having a longitudinal groove at right angles to the roof-slab grooves, said roof-slab grooves communicating with the grooves in the roof beams.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name this 8th day of Nov. 1916.
OBERLIN S. CLARK.
