The present invention relates to a structure foundation and more particularly it
relates to development of solar structure with relocatable concrete less
foundation.
Background of the invention
The conventional structures require foundation grouting to improve
sustainability of the structures during different load conditions. The
conventional foundation method is prolonged and require digging, round bar
frame & grouting, which makes it time consuming process. Furthermore cement
mixture doesn’t get strength instantly; it takes 2-3 days to get in to operational
condition. However this process increases the product cost & installation time.
Moreover when it is required to relocate it is not possible with grouted
foundation hence it is totally loss of foundation work.
To solve above intended purpose there is number of prior arts available, but
they are not capable to solve their intended purpose, moreover prior arts are not
capable to justice with the load bearing capacity of the foundation.
Many of these units in prior arts are workable for the purpose intended.
However, most of them are complicated and expensive. Few of them are simple
enough to be practical from a commercial standpoint but have serious
deficiencies in terms of failing to perform their intended function.
Such a solar structure is disclosed in US 20040010993A1, said invention relates
to a floor perimeter safety rail arrangement for the protection of workers on the
floor of a building on which the workers are workers. The rail arrangement
3
comprises a cement encasable hollow receiving base for attachment to a support
surface and a stanchion post removably received in the receiving base. A
locking arrangement is provided for both securing and unlocking the stanchion
post with respect to the receiving base after the cement has been poured.
Such a solar structure is disclosed in US 4133154A, said invention relates to an
elongated tapered enclosure tightly receives a collar attached to the bottom of a
post. A plurality of adjustable wedges at the top of the enclosure engages the
post and serves to plumb the post and firmly secure it in the enclosure. The
enclosure is set in the ground flush with the ground surface. Posts are easily
inserted into and removed from the enclosure to provide portable members for
supporting traffic signs, walls, partitions, roofs and the like
While the prior art teaches various design of post foundation, there are a number
of inherent drawbacks in the disclosed designs. One of the drawbacks is that
most of these designs are too complicated for mass-production. In fact, there is
demand for an easy to manufacture & low cost design.
Objects of the Invention
It is primary object of the present invention, to reduce the installation time of
the post foundation.
It is further object of the present invention is to provide a relocatable
foundation.
It is another object of the present invention, is to provide simple design for easy
manufacturing.
4
It is yet another object of the present invention, to reduce manufacturing and
installation cost of the product.
Summary of the Invention
The conventional pillar foundation methods are prolonged and involved digging
and grouting process, moreover cement mixture doesn’t get strength instantly; it
takes 2-3 days to get in to operational condition, hence it is time and cost
consuming process.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a foundation which
reduces the installation time, installation cost and hence reduces overall cost of
the product.
In accordance with the present invention a foundation for supporting a pillar
comprises of; A foundation for supporting a pillar comprises of; a footing plate
(1) incorporated with at least one bore (4); a sleeve/sleeves (2) inserted in said
bore at desired angle and attach rigidly to footing plate; a anchor pin assembly
(3) inserted in said sleeve, thus it adapt the sleeve angle. Furthermore said
anchor pin assembly drive inside the ground through suitable means and fastens
with the sleeve.

Detailed Description of the invention
Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described
with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that all of
these drawings and description are only presented as exemplary embodiments.
It is to note that based on the subsequent description, alternative embodiments
may be conceived that may have a structure and method as disclosed herein, and
such alternative embodiments may be used without departing from the principle
of the disclosure as claimed herein.
It may be appreciated that these exemplary embodiments are provided herein
only for enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and then further
implement the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the scope of the
present disclosure in any manner. Besides, in the drawings, for a purpose of
illustration, optional steps, modules, and units are illustrated in dotted-line
blocks.
The present invention relates to development of relocatable foundation for a
pillar comprises of; A foundation for supporting a pillar comprises of; a footing
plate (1) incorporated with at least one bore (4); a sleeve/sleeves (2) inserted in
said bore at desired angle and attach rigidly to footing plate; a anchor pin
assembly (3) inserted in said sleeve, thus it adapt the sleeve angle.
Wherein said anchor pin assembly (3) further comprises of; an anchor pin (9)
incorporated with a taper collar (8) and; an anchor sleeve (10) incorporated with
leg (7), wherein said anchor sleeve (10) mounted on anchor pin (9) in a way that
leg (7) of the anchor sleeve completely align with the collar (8).
Furthermore said anchor pin assembly (3) drive inside the ground through
suitable means and fastens with the sleeve (2), thus said leg (7) of the anchor
sleeve ascend on the taper collar (8), consequently taper shape of the collar
expand the leg (7) in radial direction.
6
Typically said anchor sleeve individually drive inside the ground to expand its
leg (7) inside the ground.
The lower ends (5) of the pin is sharpened which help it to drive inside the
ground, wherein anchor pin assembly (3) can be drive through jackhammer or
hammer. The sleeve (2) helps to guide the anchor pin assembly (3) at defined
angle. When all the anchor pin assemblies (3) were put inside the ground, the
skin friction between pin & soil give it enough grip to retain the structure load
on footing plate (1), wherein number and size of the pins (3) depending on the
load conditions, moreover expanded leg (7) of the anchor sleeve provide it more
strength.
At least one of the adjacent angle of sleeve (2) and footing plate (1) lies from 0°
to 90°. Angle of the anchor pin assembly play important role in strengthening
the structure, thus suitable angle for better strength lies between 35°-55°
Typically said footing plate (1) has provision to adapt base plate (6) of the
pillar.
Typically cross sectional shape of said pin (3) selected from group(s) but not
limited to, disc, oval, oblong, round, square , capsule, triangle, almond, peanut,
parallelogram, trapezoidal, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, L-shape and V shape.
Typically said foundation substantially herein described with reference to
accompanying drawings.
