Abstract
Abstract A place-on type assemblable structure comprising an assembly element having a base plate to be placed on a substantially flat surface and a pillar extending upwardly from the base plate, in which a vertical load acting on the pillar is borne substantially by the base plate. This structure needs not to be fixed to the flat surface, and therefore can be assembled and disassembled in the field and reutilized without scrapping.
