Abstract

The invention relates to a bundled prestress tendon comprising several, preferably parallel, prestress elements (1) surrounded by a plastic coating. The prestress elements (1) of the prestress tendon are glued or welded together by heat or pressure at least at longitudinal intervals (B) at the points of contact of the coating (2).

Description

Gebündeltes Spannglied und Verfahren zur Herstellung desselben Bundled tendon and method of making the same
Die Erfindung betrifft ein gebündeltes Spannglied, bestehend aus mehreren, vorzugsweise parallel zueinander verlaufenden kunststoffummantelten Spannelementen. Die genannten Spannglieder sind insbesondere zum Vorspannen von Beton bei Spannbetonkonstruktionen bestimmt. Sie können aber auch für andere Zwecke verwendet werden.The invention relates to a bundled tendon consisting of a plurality of plastic-coated tendons, preferably running parallel to one another. The tendons mentioned are particularly intended for prestressing concrete in prestressed concrete structures. However, they can also be used for other purposes.
Einen weiteren Gegenstand der Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des gebündelten Spanngliedes.Another object of the invention relates to a method for producing the bundled tendon.
Durch die EP-AI 0393 013 ist es bekanntgeworden, mehrere kunststoffummantelte Litzen nebeneinander anzuordnen und mit einer gemeinsamen Kunststoffummantelung zu versehen, welche zwischen zwei benachbarten Litzen einen Steg bildet, durch welchen die benachbarten Litzen voneinander getrennt sind. Die Herstellung solcher Stege erfolgt in einem Extrusionsverfahren, für welches verhältnismäßig kostenaufwendige Extruder erforderlich sind.From EP-AI 0393 013 it has become known to arrange a plurality of plastic-coated strands next to one another and to provide them with a common plastic covering, which forms a web between two adjacent strands by which the adjacent strands are separated from one another. Such webs are produced in an extrusion process, for which relatively expensive extruders are required.
Es ist weiters bekannt, mehrere kunststoffummantelte Litzen mit Hilfe von Bändern. Klammern od.dgl. zu einem Bündel zusammenzufassen.It is also known to use plastic strips to bind several plastic-coated strands. Brackets or the like to form a bundle.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Herstellung eines gebündelten Spanngliedes, bei welchem die Spannelemente untereinander in einfacher Weise und mit wenig Arbeitsaufwand verbunden sind.The object of the invention is to produce a bundled tendon in which the tensioning elements are connected to one another in a simple manner and with little work.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Spannelemente des Spanngliedes zumindest in Längsabständen an der Berührungsstelle der Ummantelung durch - Hitzeeinwirkung verklebt bzw. verschweißt sind.The object is achieved in that the clamping elements of the tendon are glued or welded at least at longitudinal intervals at the point of contact of the casing by the action of heat.
Zur Herstellung der Verklebung bzw. Schweißung wird gemäß der Erfindung die Kunststoffummantelung durch elektrische Widerstandsheizung im Durchlaufverfahren erweicht und einer Druckeinwirkung unterzogen. Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, in welcher drei Ausführungsbeispiele des erfindungsgemäßen gebündelten Spanngliedes dargestellt sind.To produce the bond or weld, according to the invention, the plastic sheathing is softened by electrical resistance heating in a continuous process and subjected to pressure. Further details of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing, in which three exemplary embodiments of the bundled tendon according to the invention are shown.
Es zeigenShow it
Fig. 1 einen Querschnitt eines bandförmigen gebündelten Spanngliedes, welches aus vier nebeneinanderliegenden kunststoffummantelten Litzen besteht,1 shows a cross section of a band-shaped bundled tendon, which consists of four adjacent plastic-coated strands,
Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht des gebündelten Spanngliedes nach Fig. 1 und dieFig. 2 is a plan view of the bundled tendon of FIG. 1 and
Fig. 3 und 4 zwei Konfigurationen des gebündelten Spanngliedes mit vier bzw. drei Spannelementen.3 and 4 two configurations of the bundled tendon with four or three clamping elements.
In Fig. 1 bezeichnet 1 eine Litze, welche aus einem mittigen Draht 1 ' und sechs diesen umschließenden Drähten 1 " besteht, wobei die Drähte 1 \ 1 " zu einem Zopf verbunden sein können. Die Litze 1 ist in einer Korrosionsschutzmasse eingebettet und von einer Kunststoffummantelung 2 umhüllt. Selbstverständlich können in der Ummantelung 2 auch mehrere Litzen 1 vorhanden sein, wobei anstelle von Litzen auch Drähte, Stangen od.dgl. treten können.In Fig. 1, 1 denotes a strand, which consists of a central wire 1 'and six wires 1 "surrounding it, wherein the wires 1 \ 1" can be connected to form a braid. The strand 1 is embedded in an anti-corrosion compound and encased in a plastic sheath 2. Of course, several strands 1 can also be present in the sheathing 2, wires, rods or the like being used instead of strands. can kick.
Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, sind die Spannelemente im vorliegenden Falle die ummantelten Litzen 1 , 2 in Abstand voneinander durch Klebestellen 3 verbunden. Im vorliegenden Falle sind die Abstände B der Klebestellen 3 größer als die jeweiligen Längen A der Klebestellen. Im Rahmen der Erfindung können die Abstände B auch kleiner als die Längen A sein. In Sonderfällen können sich die Klebestellen 3 auch über die gesamte Länge der Spannelemente erstrecken. Schließlich ist es auch denkbar, die Klebestellen nur punktweise in Abstand voneinander anzuordnen.As shown in FIG. 2, the tensioning elements in the present case the sheathed strands 1, 2 are connected at a distance from one another by gluing points 3. In the present case, the distances B between the glue points 3 are greater than the respective lengths A of the glue points. In the context of the invention, the distances B can also be smaller than the lengths A. In special cases, the adhesive points 3 can also extend over the entire length of the clamping elements. Finally, it is also conceivable to arrange the adhesive points only at points at a distance from one another.
- Für die Umhüllung wird vorzugsweise ein Material verwendet, welches bei etwa 200°C klebefähig ist. wofür sich HDPE (Polyethylen) eignet. Zur Herstellung der Klebestellen wird im Durchlaufverfahren durch elektrische Widerstandsheizung die Umhüllung 2 in Abständen erweicht und durch anschließende oder gleichzeitige Druckanwendung eine Verbindung geschaffen, welche im Zuge der darauffolgenden Abkühlung die gewünschte Klebung ergibt. Die Abkühlung kann einfach durch die Einwirkung der Umgebungsluft oder durch künstliche Kühlmethoden erfolgen.- A material is preferably used for the wrapping, which is adhesive at about 200 ° C. what HDPE (polyethylene) is suitable for. To produce the adhesive points, the casing 2 is softened at intervals in the continuous process by electrical resistance heating and a connection is created by subsequent or simultaneous application of pressure, which results in the desired bonding in the course of the subsequent cooling. The cooling can be done simply by the influence of the ambient air or by artificial cooling methods.
Die Konfiguration der Spannelemente kann beliebig gewählt sein, wobei die Klebestellen 3 an den Tangentialen Berührungsstellen der benachbarten Spannelemente durch das beschriebene Verfahren hergestellt werden. So besteht die Möglichkeit, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, vier Spannelemente zu einem Bündel zu gruppieren, bei dem die Mittelpunkte der Spannelemente in den Ecken eines Quadrates angeordnet sind.The configuration of the tensioning elements can be chosen arbitrarily, the gluing points 3 being produced at the tangential contact points of the adjacent tensioning elements by the described method. It is possible, as shown in FIG. 3, to group four clamping elements into a bundle in which the center points of the clamping elements are arranged in the corners of a square.
Bei der Konfiguration nach Fig. 4 sind drei Spannelemente vorgesehen, deren Mittelpunkte in den Ecken eines Dreieckes, im vorliegenden Falle eines gleichseitigen Dreieckes, angeordnet sind. Selbstverständlich können auch beliebig andere Konfigurationen verwendet werden. In the configuration according to FIG. 4, three clamping elements are provided, the center points of which are arranged in the corners of a triangle, in the present case an equilateral triangle. Of course, any other configuration can also be used.
