Abstract
When making a reinforced concrete structure using a reinforcing assembly (1)
consisting of a reinforcing network of rods (2,3) and dome-shaped filler bodies (4),
the novel feature is the use of a reinforcing assembly (1) comprising filler bodies (4)
with free spaces (6) between their lower free edges (5). This makes it possible to
achieve direct contact or continuity between concrete bodies above and below said
lower free edges (5).
Description
- The present invention relates to a method of making a concrete structure of substantially planar shape, said method being of the kind set forth in the preamble of claim 1.
- A method of the kind referred to above is disclosed in the International Application WO 95/24532 (B,S&Co. ref. 52986). According to this known method, the spaces between the lower free edges of the dome-shaped filler bodies are closed by flanges extending from the filler bodies and cooperating with each other so as to form a lower shuttering. This means, of course, that a direct connection between concrete bodies above and below said lower free edges cannot be established.
- It is the object of the present invention to provide a method of the kind referred to above, with which it is possible to establish a direct or "monolithic" connection between concrete bodies above and below the lower free edges of the dome-shaped filler bodies, and according to the present invention, this object is achieved by using a reinforcing assembly exhibiting the features set forth in the characterizing clause of claim 1. By using such a reinforcing assembly, in which the spaces above and below the lower free edges of the dome-shaped filler bodies are in mutual continuity, it is possible to achieve a direct or "monolithic" connection between concrete bodies above and below said lower free edges.
- The present invention also relates to a reinforcing assembly for use in carrying out the method of the invention. This reinforcing assembly is of the kind set forth in the preamble of claim 9, and according to the present invention, it also exhibits the features set forth in the characterizing clause of this claim 9.
- Advantageous embodiments of the method and the reinforcing assembly according to the invention, the effects of which - beyond what is obvious - will be evident from the following detailed part of the present description, are set forth in claims 2-8 and 10-12, respectively.
- In the following detailed part of the present description, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments of a reinforcing assembly according to the invention shown diagrammatically in the drawings, in which
- Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a reinforcing assembly according to the invention,
- Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a reinforcing assembly according to the invention,
- Figure 3 illustrates a method of making a reinforced concrete structure using the reinforcing assembly shown in Figure 2, and
- Figures 4-7 show the successive stages and a method of making a reinforced concrete structure by using the reinforcing assembly shown in Figure 1.
-
- Figure 1 shows a reinforcing assembly 1 consisting of a grid of reinforcing
rods 2, 3 crossing each others at right angles and joined, e.g. by welding, at the crossing points, and a number offiller domes 4, the tops of which are engaged in alternate meshes in thegrid 2, 3 so as to form a rigid body. - The
filler domes 4 are open at the bottom with their lower free edges 5 spaced at a distance 6. As seen from above, thefiller domes 4 may be round, square or rectangular or of any other suitable shape. They are preferably made from a suitable plastic material, such as polyethylene, and with a shape, e.g. as shown, making it possible to secure them in thegrid 2,3 by simply pressing them into place in the meshes of the latter. - In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 2, the
reinforcing assembly 11 consists - in the same manner as the assembly 1 shown in Figure 1 - of reinforcingrods filler domes 14 having lowerfree edges 15 and spaced bydistances 16, these reference numbers corresponding to those in Figure 1 with ten added. - An additional feature of the
reinforcing assembly 11 shown in Figure 2 is a lower reinforcing grid consisting of reinforcingrods filler domes 14. The reinforcing grid formed by therods filler domes 14 such as by means of suitable lugs formed on the latter in the manner described in the above international application No. WO 95/24532 (B,S&Co. ref. 52986). - Figure 3 illustrates one possible use of the
reinforcing assembly 11 shown in Figure 2. In order to form a floor or similar horizontal concrete structure, thereinforcing assembly 11 is placed on aplanar shuttering 19, after which unhardened concrete is poured into the spaces between thefiller domes 14 and the space above them so as to form amonolithic structure 20 with a horizontalupper surface 21. - If the
shuttering 19 is intended to be left in place as shown, it is preferably secured to the reinforcingrods - Figures 4-7 illustrate a possible use of the reinforcing assembly 1 shown in Figure 1.
- Thus, Figure 4 shows the reinforcing assembly 1 being placed above a
concrete layer 22, as yet unhardened, resting on ahorizontal surface 23 and preferably having embedded therein a reinforcinggrid 24, that may be of a conventional type. - Figure 5 shows the reinforcing assembly 1 lowered from the position shown in Figure 4, so that the lower edges 5 of the
filler domes 4 are immersed at some depth in theconcrete layer 22. - Figure 6 shows the situation after hardening of the
concrete layer 22 and removal from thehorizontal surface 23, a reinforcing andshuttering assembly 25 now having been formed. Thisassembly 25, which is preferably manufactured in the factory with the concomitant advantages of mass production and storage, may at a suitable moment in time be moved to a building site and placed in its final position of use, after which the spaces between thefiller domes 4 and the space above them are filled with concrete, thus forming a finished floor with anupper surface 26, as shown in Figure 7. - It is, of course, possible to cast a finished floor element as shown in Figure 7 in the factory and then move it to the building site, but the procedure outlined above is preferred, partly because of the saving in transportation tonnage, partly because of the relative ease, with which a reinforcing and shuttering
assembly 25 as shown in Figure 6 may be adapted to local conditions, such as by cutting off a corner or two. -
