ABSTRACT:
A reinforced concrete floor is constructed from a continuous slab defining a major and planar supporting surface. The continuous slab is folded at at least one beam defining path across its planar supporting surface and preferably includes a right angle grid of such folds with downward peripheral folds at the slab edges and downward V-sectioned folds to interrupt the major and planar supporting surface. By maintaining a constant vertical slab thickness and keeping the angle of the folds between 30.degree. and 60.degree. with respect to the major supporting surface, it is possible to nest and even construct a continuous stack of floors having identical overlying structural members and dimensions, such as the structurally and dimensionally repetitive overlying floors of a high-rise building. Moreover, when a nested stack of such floors is constructed or placed, the top floor of each nest in sequence at its beam defining folds can have beams placed immediately prior to lifting, while underlying floors await exposure to the top of the nest and placement of their beams in turn. Preferably, either cast-in-place or precast beams are placed from above the exposed floor into and fastened along the folds. This simultaneously completes the flat supporting surface of the floor as well as provides any needed and additional structural rigidity in the plane of the floor. Where the floors are nested at the base of a building vertical structural member, which can preferably be one or more central supporting towers, a building process results. Floors formed of folded, nested and stacked slabs are in sequence commencing with the top building floor and ending with the bottom building floor completed. Completion occurs by the placement of beams and/or flooring and sequentially raising and supporting each floor from the vertical structural member to provide a high-rise building.
