Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for connecting beams and pillars or similar structural elements, particularly for prefabricated concrete structural elements.
- As is known, the connection between a beam and a pillar, in buildings erected with prefabricated concrete components, is achieved by means of brackets which are formed monolithically with the pillar or are applied, for example by means of bolts, to the body of the pillar. These brackets can be made of reinforced concrete or steel and can be external to the dimensions of the beam or, as in the case of the so-called Gerber cantilever, can be accommodated in an appropriately provided seat formed on the lower side of the beam at the end of such beam that is designed to face the pillar.
- In the first case, problems can arise as a consequence of the space occupation entailed by the body of the bracket below the beam.
- In the second case, the seat formed in the body of the beam reduces the resisting cross-section of the beam at the seat, very often forcing an oversizing of the entire beam in order to achieve the required strength.
- Moreover, if the bracket is formed monolithically with the pillar or is preassembled to the body of the pillar, storage and transport problems occur as a consequence of the additional space occupation of the bracket laterally with respect to the pillar.
- The aim of the present invention is to solve the problems described above by providing a device for connecting beams and pillars or similar structural elements, particularly for prefabricated concrete structural elements, which allows to provide a bracket which, for an equal resistance to loads, can have a considerably reduced height with respect to conventional types of brackets.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a device that allows to reduce the vertical dimensions of the seat of the beam optionally designed to accommodate the bracket and accordingly limit the vertical oversizing of the beam.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device that does not require preassembly of the bracket to the pillar, thus simplifying pillar transport operations.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device that allows to recover any errors in the coupling between the beam and the pillar.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a device that is simple and quick to install.
- This aim and these and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a device for connecting beams and pillars or similar structural elements, particularly for prefabricated concrete structural elements characterized in that it comprises:
