Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of handling and joining at least two sectional steel elements together to form a load-bearing beam element, preferably for interaction with a separately-formed post footing, a beam element made from at least two sectional steel elements, and a beam element/post footing combination. The invention is characterised in that detached angle section elements (1a, 1b) are joined together to form a hollow sectional beam (1), and that at least one sleeve plate (2) is externally attached around the hollow sectional beam (1) thus obtained and is locked to this forming stops for receiving preferably board-shaped elements (5).

Description

METHOD FOR HANDLING AND ASSEMBLING STEEL PROFILE ELEMENTS TO A SUPPORTING BEAM ELEMENT, A BEAM ELEMENT PRODUCED BY AT LEAST TWO STEEL PROFILE ELEMENTS AND A COMBINATION OF BEAM ELEMENT POST FOUNDATION
5 The present invention relates to a method of handling and joining at least two sectional steel elements together to form a load-bearing beam element, preferably for interaction with a separately-formed post footing, a beam element made from at least two sectional steel elements, and a combination of beam element/post footing. The invention has a particular application in the erection of screening fences and/or noise screens, but can obviously also be 10 used for signs etc.
The use of standardised sectional beams of commercial-grade steel often means that the structure in question is of overlarge dimensions and unnecessarily rigid, which in addition to unnecessary use of material can also represent an increased hazard where the beam is to be
15 used in close proximity to busy roads. Prefabricated sectional beams, moreover, take up more space than the detached sectional elements of which they are made up, which are easier and more economic to stack, store and transport. Prefabricated sectional beams therefore result in higher handling, storage and transport costs than detached sectional elements, which can be stored and handled and are only joined together to form a load bearing beam element
20 at the place of use.
The main object of the present invention is therefore to devise a method of handling and joining at least two sectional elements together to form a load-bearing beam element, preferably for interaction with a separately-formed post footing. Another object of the invention 25 is to provide a load-bearing beam element, which can be easily dismantled after a period of use, so that the constituent sectional elements can be individually handled and can thus be moved efficiently to intermediate storage depots/stores for subsequent use at a new place of use.
30 The invention furthermore relates to a beam element made from at last two sectional elements, and a combination of the said beam element and a separately- formed post footing.
This object is achieved in that the method, the beam element and the beam element/post footing combination have the characteristics specified in the claims.
35
The invention will be described below with reference to examples of embodiment shown in the drawings attached, in which: Fig. 1 shows a diagrammatic perspective view of the handling and joining stages of the beam element according to the invention,
Fig. 2a-2c show a diagrammatic perspective view of the attachment of the beam element to a post footing,
Fig. 3 shows a diagrammatic perspective view of the introduction of a combined noise screen and screening fence into channels of two beam elements located at a specific distance from one another.
Fig. 4 shows a diagrammatic perspective view of an alternative fitting of a combined noise screen and screening fence to the beam element in conjunction with the arrangement of the sleeve plate, and
Fig. 5a-5f show perspective views of various possible embodiments of sectional elements and sleeve plates.
Figure I shows two angle section elements l a and l b being inserted one inside another to fonn a closed sectional beam I . Also shown here are two sleeve plates 2a and 2b, which are fixed to the sectional beam I to form the beam element A. Fixing to the sectional beam l can be achieved by bolted connection or by spot welding.
Figures 2a to 2c show the assembly of the finished, closed beam element A, the post footing 3 in figure 2a being shown set in a body 4 in the ground. The beam element A is pushed down onto the post footing 3 and assumes the final position as shown in figure 2c. The screening fence and/or noise screen 5 is inserted into the beam elements A|, A2 from the top, these elements having already been fitted on the post footings, as shown in figure 3. If thought suitable, it is obviously possible to first fit the fence or the screening 5 to one beam element A|, which has already been fitted to the post footing in the body 4| and then to push the fence or the screen 5 into the beam element A2, which is held straight over the second post footing, before then pushing the beam element A2 down over the post footing in the body 42 in the ground.
Figure 4 shows an alternative method of fitting the screening fence and/or the screen 5, which is therefore done when fitting the sleeve plates 2b and 2'b to the sectional beams la and l b respectively. Figures 5a to 5f show perspective views of various possible embodiments of sectional elements and sleeve plates. Shown here are various angled variants, but it is also feasible to use polygonals with an infinite number of corners, that is to say sectional plates bent to form a circle.
