Abstract

A system of shear control reinforcement for use in a reinforced concrete structure comprising one or more shear control members (3) bent into a substantially rectangular wave formation; the shear control member (3) being unitary and continuous for at least 1.5 wave cycles and being adapted to restrain conventional main tension control reinforcement elements (2) placed substantially transversely thereto and against the shear control member (3) adjacent a point of maximum amplitude but within the wave configuration.

Description

W O 98/04792 PCTtAU97/00479 REINFO~CF.M~IT SHEAR CONTROL SYSTEM

The invention relates to a shear control system for reinforced concrete ~llu~w~,s and to a method of pla~-m~nt of ~ci"rOr~-"~ t in order to achieve desired shear control.

With any rcinrorec~l.enl system in concrete structures there are the main rchlrorcclllcnl clr "P .li which control the tension forces and to a lesser extent the COIlllJl'eS~;Oll forces There is also often need to control shear forces occu"ii~g within the structure. These forces are controlled by shear r~,h~forcclllelll elo ~.e~ Shear le;llru~;c~l~e~lt el~ -.e ~1~ are typically placed subs~ y perpendicular to the main rci.lrorcement cle,-,e--l.e with a view to p,~,.c,.lin~, these main rthlrolce~e.ll clf. ..ç~; moving away from each other under the influence of shear forces in the structure.

FY;~;ng ~l~gf-~..CntS of l~;nrurce.l-ent and the shear elements in structures has, to a large extent, been an add on feature after the main ~chlrolec..le.,l has been ~igned and placed in position. This has had the effect of adding a large number of individual items needing to be fixed in the construction process.

Accordingly the objective of the present invention is to provide a rei.-rolcc..,e.~l shear control system adapted to reduce the number of ele-..f ~ comprising the rcinfolcc~enl structure whilst providing err~live shear control or at least to provide the market with an alttl,.al;~e.

Accoldh.g to the present invention there is ~i~rlosed a shear l~,h~rorce.n~.lt system for a r~h~l~d concrete structure cc,...~,.;sing one or more shear control r..c...~e.~ bent into a Q~l,st~ ;slly l~ g~ll9r wave formation; the shear control .--e b~ ~ being unitary and cr~ntinllolls for at least 15 wave cycles and being ~'spted to restrain conv~ ~;o--~l main tension control leil~rol~...eut ele..le..~s placed s~lbstqnti~lly ~ r~l~ely thereto and against the shear control reinrol~n.elll adjacent a point of ;.. ,. qmrlihlde but within the wave confi~-ration A number of embo~ ofthe present invention will now be des~,l;l)ed with I.,~ ,nce to the nr ~ s ...r~ ;ng dla~lv;n~s in which Figures la, lb and lc are secti~nql views of co"~

Figures ld and le are sectionql views of the r~;l~r~...e.ll shear control system in accordance with the present invention;

Figures 2a and 2c are se~i~ ns through alt~-q-te Coll~ ;onql she. r tS~t~ll-S, SUBSTlTU~ SHEET (~ule 26) - r Figures 2b and 2d are sectinn~l views through ~,h~rol~.lle.lt shear control ~ te.lls in accord~ ce with the present h~ iGn;

Figure 4b is a side el~aliol of one row of shear reinrulce~

Figure S is a top plan view of a shear control system in accordance with the present il~vt;~lioll with a series of shear control elements and main tension control reinfolce.l,cnt all running at right angles to each other;

SUBSTITUTE SHE~T (n~ule 26) Figure Sa is a section through A-A' of figure 5 and figure 5b is a section through B-B' of figure S.

In the emhod;.. e~ depic,ted in the various figures h~,r~ h the con~/e~l;o~ shear le;~ ,.llellt ek ..~ are inAie~ted by the reÇe.~nce numerals l with the main leil~l.,~,l,e.lt A~1arted to control tension in the leh~,~ed concrete structure being indeYed by the numerals 2 and the wave pattern shear control l~inrorce."t;lll ~IP.",. .~1S in ~cco-ddl ce with the present invention being ind~yed by numerals 3.

It will be noted that thro~-~hnut the ~ wings the shear reh~l~,l*l~l 3 in accordance with the present invention takes the form of a lecl~u~ qr wave pattern A~ u~h the wavê length is not l-e~,ssq ily con ~ 1 with respect to the amplitude having regard to the fact that the top and bottom main tension control steel in any given structure may have a dirr~
;~par;l~, th_n that spacing bcl~ e~l each element of main tension control steel and its adjacent r1c ..P .~ As will be evident from figure 2b it may be desirable that the wave length of the shear control system in accordallce with the present h~ ,-ltiOll may not be ~n~ti~ Figure 2b depicts a s;lualion where the wave length of every other half wave is twice as long as the pr~eding wave length It will be appreciated from figure 3b that the p1aC~m~nt of top steel 2a and bottom steel 2b is not exactly as would be the case in the SUBSTITUTE S~ T (Rule 26) r - -convçnticn~l a~l .r~g~",r..~1 d~r cted in figure 3a. This is due to the fact that in order to work in the best possible manner the main tension control steel ~le...~ ..1c are placed against the internal corners of the square wave function shaped shear ~.nfo~e.l.e.~t in sccoldallce with the present invention. This results in the top steel 2a not being directly above the co..~s~,o~ g bottom steel ele.- ~ 2b as is clear from figure 2b. Top steel ~ 2a are actually staggered with respect to bottom steel e,l~,.l.e..ls 2b in the PmbodimPnt of the present invention dPpicted in figure 3b.

With reft;lence to figure 5 there is depicted a ~ g~ t grid of steel reil~rcc;..,~ elpmentc in acco,dd lce with the present invention. It will be noted that only the tops of the shear control cle ~- ~nlc in f ~ ., O -dallCe with the present invention are depi~,led in solid lines with the top 2a and bottom 2b linear main tension control steel ~k.. .~ being de,ricted in broken lines. As both the main tension control steel ek ..~ (top and bottom) are placed in a series of rows and coh~mnc at right angles to each other in the con~e a;~ l fashion (except that they are ~ .red as hereinbefore desclibed) the regular square wave form shear control mci..be.~ 3 in a~crdal1ce with the present invention are likewise placed in a series of parallel rows and parallel columns (the columnC being at ninety degrees to the rows). The heights of the various steel ele~..e ~
with respect to each other are readily appa,~nl from figures 5a and 5b. It will be noted from figures Sa and 5b that the shear control steel in SUBSITIU~ S~EET (Rule 26) accordance with the present invention never protrudes much more than one ~ met~r of ,~,.,~rced steel bar above the outerrnost main tension control l~h~lcill~ bar.

It -will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that placement of the shear leinfo,.,cn,c"l in acco,dallce with the present invention should occur prior to pl~cemPnt of the main tension control reinrolce".ent in any given structure in order that the main shear control steel may be placed in the most adv~nt~geous position with respect to the shear control lehlror.,e.llel,l. This most adv~nt~geous position is the internal corners of the fec~ g,.l~r wave structure of the shear control reillîorc~.nelll in accoldallce with the present hl~ ;oll.

The dlawh~gs h~.,..~iLh depict shear lc;~ ~lllcllL in accordance with the present invention being utilised in respect of planer articles. It should be appreciated that conca~/~, convex or even circular articles may be formed ili~in~ shear re,n~r~,elllent in accordance with the present invention and in such cases the im~n~ry axis along which the rect~n~ r wave form ofthe shear reinÇolcelllent would proceed would no longer be linear but would itself be curved.

It will ful ~h~,. ,llore be apl,l ecialed that the co~tin.lo~s nature of the square wave form shear control Ich~ol cell.en~ of the present invention results in ~ I ... . ..
easy h~n~ling and 8 vast red~ ion in the number of shear control el~....~." i le~luiled particularly in relation to large structures such as slabs.
