Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of strands used in construction works. She finds an important application in pre- or post-stress such works by means of strands stretched to inside injected sheaths.
  • the invention relates more specifically to strands of which at least some of the constituent wires have a portion of their surface exposed to the strand environment, as opposed to sheathed strands which, from their manufacture, are individually contained in a protective sheath, most often with a protective material such as wax, fat or elastomer.
  • a protective material such as wax, fat or elastomer.
  • unsheathed strands are often preferred due to their lower cost and the fact that their anchoring is less delicate. Indeed, it is not necessary, after placement of such a strand in its sheath, to strip the portions of this strand that will be trapped in the keys of the anchor and remove the material protective in these portions. This facilitates anchoring and makes it safer since we have the assurance that it does not subsist not, between the wires and the keys, a material which would harm the firmness of the anchor.
  • US-A-5,263,307 describes a prestressing strand in which a synthetic resin paint coats the wires, inward and outward of the strand.
  • the constituent wires of this strand are thus incorporated into a sort of matrix whose rigidity harms deformability of the strand.
  • the handling of such a strand and its implementation place in a sheath (most often not straight) are therefore problematic.
  • the coating resin must be completely removed from the periphery of the strand at level of the anchors, so that the internal teeth keys fit well on the steel of the wires and not on synthetic resin which offers only a weak shear strength.
  • Figure 1 shows a book comprising several portions 2, 2A, 2B, in which passed a prestressing sheath 1.
  • the strands 3 are tensioned and anchored at both ends of the sheath 1 by means of anchoring devices 4, for example at keys, shown schematically in Figure 1.
  • a grout 5 generally a cement grout, is injected inside the sheath 1 after tensioning and anchoring the strands 3.
  • This grout 5 is for example injected by the ends of the sheath by means of appropriate conduits provided in the anchoring devices 4 or in their vicinity.
  • the grout 5 is injected under pressure at one end, as symbolized by pump A, the other end being provided with a depressurized vent B or simply vented.
  • the filling of the sheath poses a difficulty of most of the time a certain amount of water gets separates from the grout at the end of the injection, this water coming accumulate to form pockets of water in points top of the sheath, for example at points 8, 8A shown in Figure 1.
  • the water is generally reabsorbed by the grout when it sets, or it is evacuated into the structure. But then she leaves remain voids, often accompanied by deposits of soluble components of the grout entrained by water. The strands are poorly protected in these areas and may corrode, which is a weakness of the book.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross section of a unsheathed strand as commonly used in the art earlier.
  • the strand usually consists of seven wires stranded together: a central wire, or core, 6 and six wires peripherals 7 twisted around the core 6. These wires 6, 7 are solid wires, most often metallic.
  • the core 6 has a diameter slightly greater than that peripheral wires 7 (for example 5.2 mm instead of 5 mm in strands with a diameter of 15.2 mm). It thus exists small intervals e between the wires peripheral devices. Towards the outside of these intervals e, the surface of peripheral wires 7 is exposed to the environment of the strand. Inward intervals e, the strand has six internal gaps i between the core 6 and the peripheral wires 7, interstices whose section is in the shape of a curvilinear triangle.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a solution simple and effective to the problem of observed pockets of water in the pre- or post-stress ducts, a solution which not significantly penalize the convenience of putting in use and anchoring the strands.
  • the invention thus provides a method of making of pre- or post-stressed construction works such as as set out in claim 1.
  • the filling material which, preferably, fills the entire volume of internal gaps, prevents infiltration of water between the strand wires and its path along the internal interstices.
  • the phenomenon undesirable filtration of the grout, which separates part of its liquid phase of its solid components, is further eliminated.
  • the invention relates to a process for manufacturing a strand, as defined in claim 4.
  • the strand 3 shown in Figure 3 differs from the one previously commented with reference to Figure 2 by the presence of a filling material in the internal gaps i defined between the constituent wires 6, 7 of the strand.
  • this strand 3 can be installed as previously described in reference to figure 1. Elimination of the phenomenon undesirable filtration of the grout between the wires strand 7 devices will remove, or at least prevent almost completely, the problems linked to the formation of water pockets in the sheath 1.
  • the filling material of the interstices i is chosen so as to be viscous enough not to flow or be driven out by the pressure of the grout. She must on the other hand be compatible with the nature of the wires 6, 7 so as not to cause corrosion.
  • Examples of usable materials are waxes, in particular petroleum, silicone or polybutadiene pastes, or still any similar material having the characteristics adequate physical and chemical properties, including not oppose the good jamming of the core 6 during anchoring of the strand.
  • the plastic characteristics of this material are selected so that the strand retains a good plasticity, allowing its winding as well as its threading in winding sheaths.
  • the material of the wires 6, 7 will generally be steel as usual, although various materials are conceivable, for example carbon fibers or of glass.
  • the number of threads is preferably, but not restrictively, from seven.
  • the filling material provides active protection of the wire metal.
  • a polarizing material leading to cathodic protection to fight even more effectively against corrosion.
  • a resin for example epoxy, charged with metallic particles, in particular zinc, or still a soft metal.
  • the manufacture of a strand such as that shown in Figure 2 or 3 essentially consists of winding helix the outer wires 7 around the core 6.
  • strand 3 is made from steel wires requiring thermomechanical stabilization treatment performed at medium high temperature (around 400 ° C), it could happen that the filling material is altered if it is put in place prior to treatment.
  • the deposition of the filling material 9 on the core of the strand is carried out during a loosening of the strand after the thermomechanical treatment. This operation of loosening spreads the peripheral wires 7, allowing so inject the filling material between these wires peripherals 7 by means of nozzles 10 suitably positioned ( Figure 4).
  • the contribution of filling material can correspond exactly to the quantity required or may contain a slight excess subsequently eliminated.
  • FIG. 5 shows schematically an installation can be used to make a strand in accordance with present invention.
  • a conventional stranding unit 20 is supplied with the core 6 and the six peripheral wires 7 from respective reels 16, 17, and manipulates these wires to form the strand 3. This is, if necessary, subjected to heat or thermomechanical treatment in a unit 30.
  • the strand thus obtained is of structure classic. It can be immediately issued to the loosening and tightening 40, as shown, or be stored as is for later introduction in this unit 40.
  • the reference 50 symbolizes the means used to deposit filling material during the strand is loose (bath, or nozzles 10 as shown in Figure 4).
  • a cleaning unit 60 mechanical and / or chemical eventually removes excess filling material, before the strand 3 is finally wound by a 70 unit.
