ABSTRACT:
A multiple crypt or vault burial mausoleum features precast concrete modules each having a horizontal shelf and depending vertical walls to define plural crypts when in stacked relationship with other modules in a multiple level arrangement. Each vertical module wall contains an embedded steel leg structure near the forward and rear quarter points of the module extending from top to bottom thereof. In the multiple tier mausoleum constructed from stacked modules, steel support and bearing legs extend continuously from top to bottom in the structure. Rectangular steel shims are intervened with the embedded legs of each module to render the entire leg structure continuous. The arrangement greatly minimizes settlement normally encountered with shim and grout supports and reduces the binding of shutters dependent on the system for support. The solid block shims can also resist shear stresses caused by lateral forces which grout cannot resist.
