Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a beam attachment system and, in particular, a long-span beam.
  • the beams and, in particular, the long-mashed beams have many applications, particularly in the field of large span structures, for the construction of buildings and structures.
  • Examples of such structures are warehouses, hypermarkets, aircraft halls, sports centers, buildings on stilts or high-rise, car parks, bridges and footbridges.
  • the document FR 2,262,167 discloses an architectural construction structure for receiving a large surface coverage, without interior dimensions such as pillars or bulkheads using metal frame members arranged only on the outer perimeter and using live cables as supports longitudinal, and further comprising a gantry at each end and one or more arches according to dimensions.
  • the invention proposes a beam attachment system comprising two posts, a beam and at least one tie, in which the posts are biased by the beam and urged closer by the tie rod.
  • the tie compensates at least in part the stress exerted by the beam on the pole. This system makes it possible to extend the span of the beam and preserve the stability of the system.
  • the figure is a schematic illustration of the attachment system according to the invention.
  • the figure shows a bank post 14 as well as several posts 5a, 5b, beams 3a, 3b, 3c and tie rods 9a, 9b, 9c.
  • the posts 5a, 5b are embedded in the ground 4 (that is to say in the foundation) and form a metal frame for fastening the beams.
  • the general reference number 3 designates a beam
  • the number 9 designates a tie rod
  • the number 5 designates a frame stud other than a rim pole.
  • the additional reference letters a, b, c designate different sections of the frame.
  • a beam is hung between two posts with support systems that will be described later.
  • the tie rod is a part of the system designed to withstand traction.
  • the beam attachment system I thus comprises two posts 5a, 5b, a beam 3b and at least one tie 9b.
  • the beam is stressed and the tie rod connects at least one of the posts 5a, 5b, so that the two posts 5a, 5b are biased by the beam 3b and urged closer by the tie 9b.
  • the biasing by the tie 9h compensates at least partially the moment exerted by a beam on the poles and further creates an additional longitudinal stress in the beam.
  • This system thus makes it possible, on the one hand, to lengthen the span of the beam and, on the other hand, to take back part of the stress exerted on a pole. It also helps to preserve the stability of the system.
  • the pole 5a is connected to the beams 3a, 3b by means of a connecting rod 13a, 13b hinged on the one hand to the pole 5a that it connects to a beam and on the other hand to a beam 3a, 3b.
  • the articulation at the pole 5a can be achieved by means of a pivot connection 14a, 14b or, alternatively, an axis.
  • the articulation at the level of the beam can itself be achieved by means of a support bracket 18a, 18b.
  • An end angle can then be articulated in the support angle 18a, 18b so as to form a pivot connection.
  • the end angle may be in the form of a distribution plate 19a, 19b.
  • This plate fixed to a beam 3a, 3b makes it possible, on the one hand, to support this beam and, on the other hand, to distribute the reaction of the support in this beam 3.
  • Two tie rods 9a, 9b are fixed at the top of the pole 5a , left and right, respectively.
  • only one tie is fixed at the top of the pole 5a.
  • a same tie can then extend along a frame comprising several poles.
  • Such a structure has the advantage of distributing the stress forces, as well as the recovery of these efforts, along the frame. It follows a better cohesion of the frame.
  • a passage 15a, 15b is formed between two lateral parts, allowing a tie 9a, 9b to engage.
  • the section of the half-beams can be designed so that after assembly of the two half-beams, a passage 15a, 15b forms a channel allowing a tie 9a, 9b to engage.
  • a tie 9a, 9b is thus at least partially retracted into a beam, which allows to protect it, for example in case of fire.
  • two tie rods 9a, 9b are fixed at the top of the pole 5a.
  • the figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of a beam, at a central section of the beam.
  • This figure shows a beam 3 comprising two lateral parts (or half-beams) left and right 3G, 3D fixedly connected by fixing elements 20.
  • the figure also shows a portion of post 5 and a rod 13 articulated to the post 5 via a pivot connection 14 and in contact with the beam 3 at a distribution plate 19 of the beam.
  • the fastening elements 20 pass through this plate 19.
  • the left-hand 3G and right-hand 3D parts of the beam 3 form a passage 15 allowing a tie rod (not shown) to engage with it.
  • the passage 15 is formed such that the tie rods support the beam at the center of gravity of the beam.
  • a central distribution plate 41 of the beam rests on the tie rod 9. This central plate 41 is traversed by fastening elements 40 fixedly connecting the two lateral parts 3, 3, 3 of beam via the central plate 41.
  • the pulling passage 15 formed by the lateral portions 3G, 3D allows relative sliding of the beam relative to the tie rod.
  • This latter property of the attachment system is particularly advantageous when the beam 3 is subjected to an asymmetrical load. This is for example the case when equipment such as air conditioning or heating equipment is fixed in support on the beam at a place remote from the center of the beam.
  • the additional degree of freedom offered by the relative sliding of the beam 3 relative to the tie rod 9 makes it possible to reduce the potential energy related to the load stress. Such a property thus makes it possible to further stabilize the fastening system.
  • the beam 3 is supported by the tie rod 9, it can also be connected to the tie rod in various possible variants.
  • the tie rod is simply fixed to the beam, for example in the center of the upper surface of the beam.
  • This variant makes it possible to simplify the manufacture of the fastening system 1.
  • Such a fastening system has a great simplicity of assembly, allows to extend the span of the beam and to take back part of the stress exerted on a post.
  • the fact that the tie rod connects the beam 3 also makes it possible to stabilize the beam-post assembly of the fastening system.
  • the tie rod can be made in two parts of separate tie rods. One of these parts connects a pole to the beam and the other of these parts connects the beam to another pole. It is then obtained a pulling structure - posts - guyed type beam in which each of the two parts tie rods at least partially compensates for the moment exerted by the beam on each of the poles.
  • the additional degree of freedom offered by the relative sliding of the beam 3 with respect to the tie rod 9 made it possible to reduce the potential energy related to the load stress and to further stabilize the system. hanging.
  • a sleeve 43 fixed on the tie rod 9 limits the sliding of the beam relative to the tie rod. This will be best described with reference to the figure 6 .
  • the figure 6 is a partial view in section, along a longitudinal section of the beam, at its central portion.
  • the figure shows the central part of a beam 3 comprising two lateral parts. The cut is made between these two lateral parts.
  • the tie rod 9 is engaged in the pulling passage formed by the lateral portions of beams and allows relative sliding of the beam 3 with respect to the tie rod 9.
  • the beam 3 and the tie rod 9 are mounted relative sliding in a finite portion of sliding.
  • the sliding portion is delimited by two sleeves 43, 45 fixed on the tie 9.
  • the two lateral portions of the beams are connected by a central distribution plate 41, pierced with several holes for fixing the plate 41 on the two lateral parts. .
  • the central distribution plate can slide along the tie rod 9 and between the sleeves. The difference between the finished sliding portion and the length of the distribution plate defines a sliding clearance, as illustrated in FIG. figure 6 .
  • the figure 7 shows a front view, showing a beam to be mounted in the attachment system.
  • the beam 3 is subdivided into three longitudinal segments 31,32,33.
  • the third segment 33 is similar to the first segment 31 but oriented symmetrically with respect to the central cross-section of the beam 3.
  • Each of the segments terminates in a recess at one, at least, of its ends, as shown in the figure, so that the assembly of the segments is facilitated.
  • the central segment 32 has a recess such that it rests on the other two segments 31,33.
  • Fastening plates 34 consolidate the beam 3 at the recesses.
  • these 31,32,33 segments are more manageable than a beam in one piece, which considerably simplifies the logistics relating to the delivery of the attachment system on a building site.
  • the use of segments makes it possible not to have to resort to an exceptional transport and, therefore, to reduce the cost price of an assembled beam.
  • Such a fastening system design makes it possible to envisage the production of beams of length ranging from 5 to 120 m. In theory, it is theoretically possible to produce beams of lengths greater than 120 m in a fastening system according to the invention, by adapting the overall dimensions of the beams and columns.
  • the lengths of beams typically envisaged in the fastening system according to the invention the following lengths may be mentioned: 18, 24, 30, 35, 40, 55 and 70 m.
  • the invention is however not limited to the variants described above but is capable of many other variations easily accessible to those skilled in the art.
  • An odd number of segments makes it possible to envisage a beam that is symmetrical with respect to its central cross-section, the beam comprising a central segment resting on the tie rod.
  • the number of segments can then be optimized to reduce the overall cost of mounting the attachment system.
