Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for carrying out a sheet piling underneath an existing bearing wall or partition, whereby a series of columns is formed in the ground, underneath the wall or partition to be supported, using a case-shaped element having three sides and one open side, which is directed towards the bearing wall or partition.
- each of the columns is built up according to a sequence, in which a column with the same or similar dimensions is formed between two already finished columns, and for that purpose, the lost encasement sheets of the U-shaped encasement parts belonging to two neighbouring columns are used as lateral encasement parts, and at the back side of the column to be formed, vertical sheets with a width somewhat larger than the width of the column to be formed, and a height equal to that of the U-shaped encasement parts, are put up and manually slided with their outer edges behind the already formed U-shaped encasement part, upon which the created encasement space is finished in the same way as described in claim 1, with sheets which are secured with their edges to the neighbouring U-shaped encasement parts.
- Figures 1-3 show three subsequent steps of the process according to the invention.
- Figure 4 shows the final situation, after the positioning one on top of the other of five case-shaped elements.
- Figure 5 schematically shows the positioning of a series of U-shaped encasement parts with respect to two case-shaped elements.
- Figure 6 is a top view of a case-shaped element connected with a U-shaped encasement part in a particular embodiment, in which a platform is represented in dotted lines, from which the U-shaped encasement parts are mounted constructively underneath the foundation and to the cases.
- Figure 7 schematically shows, also from a top view, two finished columns with an encasement under construction between those columns.
- Figure 8 schematically shows, on another scale, two U-shaped parts according to a horizontal cross section.
- FIGS 9 and 10 relate to details of the process according to the invention.
- a case-shaped element 3 is put up.
- the first case-shaped element 3 is resting on the ground, although according to figure 1, this case-shaped element has already sunk, up to a certain depth into the excavated soil, and this to a depth allowing to dig up the ground underneath the foundation footing, from the case-shaped element.
- such an element is preferably 2.50 m long, having a width of 1.20 m and a height of almost 2 m. These dimensions are not binding, and are only given here as an example.
- a first U-shaped encasement part 4 is shoved into the created space.
- the encasement part 4 consists of two wings 4' and a wall 4" which extends between the wings 4'. In practice, this wall 4" may be considered as the back wall.
- FIGS 7 and 8 show more details of these U-shaped parts.
- All U-shaped encasement parts 4 are provided with flanges 5 transversely welded on, for the connection by bolts with flanges 6 belonging to the side sheets of each case-shaped element 3.
- flanges 5 transversely welded on, for the connection by bolts with flanges 6 belonging to the side sheets of each case-shaped element 3.
- lost encasement sheets 10 are placed on the inside of the U-shaped encasement parts 4, against the flanges 5. These sheets have about the same height as the U-shaped encasement parts, and are for example kept in place by a small angle iron 12 (visible in figure 8). This is only required until the moment the concrete 22 is cast. At this moment, also the bolts between the flanges 5 and 6 of the elements 3 and 4 are removed.
- the space 8 was excavated by using as an encasement the side walls 7 of neighbouring case-shaped elements 3, already put into place, and their backfilled encasement 4.
- the back i.e. at the side opposite the wall 1
- sheets 9 were slided manually or mechanically behind two neighbouring walls 7'.
- the lost encasement sheets 17 are put into place, and this from top to bottom, while gradually digging deeper.
- the sheets 17 are secured, for example by tack-welding, to the back wall 4".
- the encasement sheets 10 are put into place from bottom to top, as described above.
- a foundation slab 15 is laid or pressed underneath the foundation to be formed.
- This slab 15 can be a steel plate or be made of concrete.
- a concrete slab may be provided with vertical short reinforcing rods 16 for anchoring the foundation slab 15 to the concrete mass of the sheet piling.
- common reinforcing bars may be present in each column.
- the platforms 19 are recovered. These necessary parts are used to enable the operations during the excavation and the putting into place of the encasement to be carried out. Their supports along the side walls 7 of the case-shaped elements are clearly indicated by reference 20 (figures 5 and 6).
- the U-shaped encasement parts 4 can be manufactured from widely differing materials, such as steel or recycled synthetics.
Description
Claims (7)
- Process for carrying out a sheet piling underneath an existing bearing wall or partition, whereby a series of columns is formed, in the ground, underneath the wall or partition (1) to be supported, using a case-shaped element with three sides and one open side which is directed towards the bearing wall or partition, characterised in that the process contains the following steps:a) ground is removed from within the case-shaped element (3), and simultaneously ground is removed over a surface which corresponds to the sheet piling to be introduced, and this over a height which corresponds to a modular fraction of the height of the case-shaped element (3);b) in the space created underneath the bearing wall or partition (1), a U-shaped encasement part (4) is introduced with the open side towards the case-shaped element (3);c) the operations a) to b) are repeated until the desired depth is reached, each of the U-shaped encasement parts (4) piled on each other, is temporarily secured to the vertical edges of two sides of said case-shaped element (3);d) an enlarged foundation slab (15) is laid on the ground, or squeezed through underneath the bottom U-shaped encasement part (4);e) lost encasement sheets (10) are secured to the open front side of each of the U-shaped encasement parts (4), and the bolts (11) between the U-shaped encasement parts and the case-shaped elements are removed;f) the concrete is poured in the encasement thus created.
- Process according to claim 1, characterised in that each of the columns is built up according to a sequence, in which a column with the same or similar dimensions is formed between two alreay finished columns, and that for that purpose, the walls of the U-shaped encasement parts (4) serving as a lost encasement and belonging to two neighbouring columns, are used as lateral encasement parts, and that vertical sheets (17) with a width somewhat larger than the width of the column to be formed, and a height equal to that of the U-shaped encasement parts (4), are put up at the back side of the column to be formed, and are manually shoved with their outer edges behind the already formed U-shaped encasement part, upon which the created encasement space is finished in the same way as described in claim 1, with sheets (10) which are secured to the edges of the neighbouring U-shaped encasement parts.
- Process according to any one of claims 1 and 2, characterised in that reinforcing bars (13) are put through the vertical side walls of aforesaid U-shaped encasement parts (4), before the concrete is poured, in order to create a monolithic structure.
- Process according to any one of claims 1 - 3, characterised in that in aforesaid case-shaped elements (3), internal, transverse shoring beams (21) are put in, against the bending inwards of the walls of the case-shaped elements (3).
- Process according to any one of claims 1 - 4, characterised in that aforesaid U-shaped encasement parts (4), which may be made from steel, concrete or plastic material, show a height of almost 0.30 m at a length of almost 1.20 m.
- Process according to any of claims 4-5, characterised in that the opposing walls of said case-shaped elements (3) are provided with supports to receive the ends of shoring beams (21).
- Process according to any one of claims 1 - 6, characterised in that the foundation slab is made of steel or prefabricated concrete, in order to form an enlarged foundation footing.
