Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to building fields, and in particular to a kind of PHC pile piles are made the connector of support system lattice column and its applied
Work method is related to connector replacement PHC pile pile portion segments is used to cause the bracing members in the segment zones, concrete branch
Support and structures agent structure are securely and reliably passed through, so as to fulfill the branch for substituting cast-in-situ bored pile+steel column in traditional construction
Support body system.Base pit engineering is built in all kinds of municipal, rooms that can be applied in current building field.
Background technology
As the quick increase of the urban residence size of population, land resource are increasingly deficient, people gradually put into attention
The development and utilization of the underground space, various constructions of structures extend one after another to underground, and incident is exactly deep foundation pit engineering
Increase.The fender body form that can be taken for large deep foundation pit engineering is varied, there is the stake of SMW engineering methods, drill-pouring
Stake, diaphram wall etc., supporting form are ever-changing, have concrete support, steel pipe support, type steel support etc., but wherein rise
The key component stablized to retaining design --- the form of lattice column still uses the form of cast-in-situ bored pile+steel column substantially.
Major defect is:
(1) environmental pollution is big:Since lattice column bottom is using cast-in-situ bored pile form, and in bored pile construction process
In will generate largely discarded mud, be affected to surrounding enviroment.
(2) site condition is more:Either the steel reinforcement cage of bored concrete pile or steel column are required to be processed assembly at the scene,
Therefore, it is necessary to prepare corresponding processing site, hoisting transportation equipment etc..
(3) construction speed is slow:For PHC pile piles, the pile-forming speed of cast-in-situ bored pile is only the 1/20 of prefabricated pile,
And with stake diameter, the long increase of stake, effect gap more expands.
(4) quality control is difficult:Drilling pouring pile hole aperture, verticality, sediment thickness, concreting and steel reinforcement cage
And the quality criticals point such as steel column scene processing installation is more, control difficulty is big.
(5) construction technology defect:Main reinforcement in concrete support and structure, which encounters steel column, to pass through, and reinforcing bar is caused to break
It opens, even if there are still hidden danger using reinforcement measure.In addition, any excess concrete inside steel column is invaded when cast-in-place pile concrete pours
It needs manually to cut, it is time-consuming, and handle and bad easily cause structural leakage.
(6) complicated construction technique:It is mixed in early period pile foundation construction comprising drilling, borehole cleaning, steel reinforcement cage and steel upright post hoisting, under water
Solidifying soil pours, later stage earth excavation and the multiple working procedures such as the structure fabrication stage cuts comprising pile crown scum silica frost, bar straightening anchors, into
And site operation organization and administration program is caused to become relatively complicated.
(7) operating expenses is high:Cast-in-situ bored pile and steel column construction cost are far above other kinds of stake, meanwhile, on
It states pile-type and is only purely by way of lattice column use, the negligible amounts applied in practical Foundation Pit Support Engineering so that unit price is further
It improves, operating expenses increases.

It connects.
2. strength checking
Construction and support system during to meet pile sinking generate various loads, steel strength are selected to carry out connector
Checking computations, content include PHC tubular pile bodies and are checked by press-bending ultimate bearing capacity and junction weld strength.
Using PHC-500-AB-100 as pile body, each layer vertical force eccentricity takes 350mm to calculate, the moment of flexure that pile body is born
M=0.35N,.
Result of calculation:Limit eccentric bearing capacities of the PHC-500-AB-100 in the case where considering bias 350mm is 750KN.
To ensure that attachment weld intensity is more than pile strength between connector and PHC pile piles, weld strength checking computation results are shown
Show, connector weld seam need to use groove to weld, and when the wide height of groove size is respectively higher than 12mm, shearing strength is more than PHC pipe piles
Body shearing strength, weld strength and pile body etc. are strong at this time, it is ensured that safety of welding seam.
Therefore, by taking the pile pile of PHC500-AB-100 as an example, connector selects the seamless thick walled steel tube of wall thickness 16mm, and two
Groove form is taken at end, can meet above-mentioned every load requirement.
If design load value changes, can by adjusting PHC pile piles diameter and stake long, connector diameter and wall
The parameters such as thickness are to meet construction loads requirement.
3. embedded part is set
Connector area is continuous across to meet concrete support and structure reinforcing bars, when connector makes, according to design
Drawing bar gauge and distribution situation two side opening and are put into connector in connector tube wall corresponding position, it is intermediate with design
The identical bar connecting of drawing requirement.
4. auxiliary part
To improve connector self-strength and internal reinforcing bar durability, connector is completed to pour into cavity after installation of embedded parts
With the equal strength pea gravel concreten or mortar of design drawing requirement.Meanwhile it for ease of construction hoisting, is provided in connector one end
Hoisting component.
