Definitions

  • the invention relates to a foundation element for forming a foundation pile for a foundation of a building, as well as to a foundation pile and to a method for forming a foundation pile.
  • GB 2 292 408 A1 discloses a member for penetrating ground.
  • WO 00/61876 A1 discloses a building structure with a hollow core, with a fibre layer, in which the hollow core may be filled with concrete.
  • the foundation piles need to be made up of segments.
  • the segments are pressed into the ground one by one.
  • Steel tube segments are used, which are subsequently filled with concrete and possibly provided with reinforcement steel.
  • a drawback of the known foundation pile is that the installation thereof is time-consuming, since the steel tube segments that are used need to be precisely welded together so as to be watertight. If the tube segments are not welded watertight, water will penetrate into the tube and that will first have to be sucked dry. Then the tube can be filled with concrete so as to obtain the required strength for the pressure load. Because of this the known foundation pile and the known method are relatively costly.
  • the invention provides a foundation element according to claim 1.
  • the foundation element comprises a foundation body substantially made of a polymer concrete (PC), such as polymer concrete comprising unsaturated polyester resin (UB), polymer concrete comprising methylmethacrylate (MMA), polymer concrete comprising epoxy resin (EB), or another similar or related composite.
  • PC polymer concrete
  • the polymer concrete or related composite provides excellent resistance to pressure loads, so that it is very suitable material for use as a foundation element.
  • polymer concrete is corrosion resistant.
  • the polymer concrete is furthermore relatively easy to produce, for example as a prefab element.
  • the foundation element comprises a reinforcement element which extends substantially in a longitudinal direction of the foundation body. In this way damage to the foundation element caused by forces in a direction transversely to the longitudinal direction is prevented.
  • the foundation body is furthermore a substantially solid foundation body, so that filling of the interior of the foundation element after installation thereof is no longer needed.
  • the reinforcement element is preferably completely surrounded by the polymer concrete.
  • the reinforcement element may be applied by means of an adhesive, such as a two-component adhesive, or a sealing ring so as to make the reinforcement element resistance to tensile force and watertight.
  • the reinforcement element preferably extends substantially over the entire length of the foundation body. It may slightly project from the foundation body near the ends thereof or, on the contrary, terminate at a position spaced a minimal distance from an end of the foundation body. Connecting several foundation elements together thus becomes easier, as will be explained hereinafter.
  • the reinforcement element and the foundation body are substantially concentric.
  • the reinforcement element is located in the centre of the foundation body in that case.
  • the reinforcement element preferably comprises a bar or a tube.
  • the bar is preferably solid.
  • the tube is preferably hollow.
  • the bar or the tube is preferably made of a metal, for example steel or reinforcing steel.
  • the reinforcement element is provided with a connecting element at one end thereof, which connecting element is designed to be connectable to a further foundation element, preferably to a further connecting element of a further reinforcement element of said further foundation element.
  • Said connecting element may be simply provided with screw thread.
  • At least one end of the foundation element also comprises connecting means designed to be connectable to one end of a further foundation element, preferably two further connecting means at one end of the further foundation element.
  • the connecting means can be of very simple construction if the connecting means comprise one or more recesses or protrusions in the end face of the foundation body.
  • the foundation body is in that case preferably constructed so that an end surface at a first end is designed to connect with a close fit to an end surface of a second end of a further foundation body.
  • an end surface at a first end is designed to connect with a close fit to an end surface of a second end of the same the foundation body. In this way it becomes possible to use a number of identical foundation elements in constructing a foundation pile.
  • the connecting means may in a particularly simple embodiment form part of a male-female connection.
  • the first end face may be constructed as a male coupling
  • the second end face may be constructed as a female coupling.
  • the foundation element may be designed to function as a base for a foundation pile built up of foundation elements.
  • the foundation element prefferably has a larger cross section near one end than at an opposite end so as to thus form a wider base of the foundation pile.
  • the end having the larger cross section is designed to be drilled or pressed into the ground.
  • Said end may be conical, rectangular, hexagonal or polygonal, pyramidal or helical in shape, depending on the ground structure to be penetrated.
  • the foundation element is provided with a flow tube for transporting a flowable medium therethrough from one end of the foundation element to the other end of the foundation element.
  • Said flowable medium is preferably a medium that can be injected into the ground, for example various types of injection mortar, for forming an injected base.
  • the reinforcement element is also designed to function as the flow tube.
  • the hollow reinforcement elements can be connected together, the flow tube can extend along the length of a number of foundation elements.
  • the flow tube opens into an injection opening at the other end of the foundation element for injecting the flowable medium into the ground so as to form an injected base for the foundation pile.
  • a foundation element can be used for being forced into the ground, after which eventually, once the desired length of the foundation pile is reached, a base can be formed. In this way the foundation pile is fixed in position.
  • a foundation pile comprising a number of stacked-together and interconnected foundation elements according to the invention.
  • a method for installing a foundation pile in the ground comprising the steps of providing a first foundation element according to the invention and providing a second foundation element according to the invention.
  • the method comprises the further steps of:
  • Said installation can be carried out by using a technique that is suitable for that purpose, for example pressing, driving (ramming) or drilling or a related technique. Combinations of these techniques are also conceivable, if desired. The skilled person will be able to use a suitable technique. In one embodiment, pressing is preferred, however.
  • a very advantageous aspect of the invention is the fact that fixing the first foundation element to the second foundation element can take place in a very simple and quick manner.
  • the foundation elements can be glued together, so that the time-consuming welding is no longer necessary.
  • a quick and watertight connection can be realised.
  • the method may comprise the additional steps of providing one or more further foundation elements according to the invention and fixing said one or more of further foundation elements to the foundation pile being formed.
  • step B the first and the second foundation element are glued together by means of an adhesive, such as an epoxy, for example.
  • an adhesive such as an epoxy
  • Other connections are (additionally) also conceivable, however, such as a snap connection, a pin joint, a rotating joint, etc.
  • the method may comprise the additional step D of fixing the reinforcement element of the first foundation element to the reinforcement element of the second foundation element.
  • the complete foundation pile is capable of taking up pressure forces and tensile forces.
  • connection can be effected in a simple manner by connecting the reinforcement element of the first foundation element and that of the second foundation element together in step D, using a screw connection.
  • the first foundation element is designed to function as the base of the foundation pile or to be formed into a base (for example by injecting a base).
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a foundation pile 1.
  • the foundation pile 1 comprises a number of stacked-together foundation elements 2a-2d.
  • Each foundation element 2a-2d comprises a foundation body 4.
  • Said foundation body is substantially made of a polymer concrete (PC).
  • a suitable polymer concrete is, for example, polymer concrete comprising unsaturated polyester resin (UB), polymer concrete comprising methyl methacrylate (MMA) or polymer concrete comprising epoxy resin (EP). Other similar or related composites can also be used, of course.
  • the foundation body 4 further comprises a concentrically disposed reinforcement element 5, which extends substantially in a longitudinal direction L of the foundation body 4.
  • the reinforcement element 5 may be a steel tube or bar, for example of reinforcing steel. In the present embodiment, the bar is a solid bar, such that a relatively great strength is obtained.
  • the length of a foundation element forms a fraction of the total length of the foundation pile.
  • the foundation element 4 of said polymer concrete, provided with the reinforcement element 5, provides a foundation element 2 which is quite capable of taking up pressure forces and tensile forces being exerted thereon. Because of this the foundation element 2 is suitable for use as part of the foundation pile 2.
  • FIG. 1 shows, a few foundation elements 2 are stacked together.
  • the reinforcement element 5 extends beyond the bottom end of the foundation body 4.
  • a recess Provided at the upper end of the foundation element 4, on the other hand, is a recess, because the reinforcement element extends only as far as a position spaced from the upper end of the foundation body 4.
  • the recess and the projecting reinforcement element 5 of two foundation elements 2a and 2b disposed adjacent to each other makes it easier to connect the two foundation elements together.
  • Said projecting reinforcement element 5 and said recess (together with the end of the reinforcement element 5 in said recess) form connecting elements 71, 72, as it were, which are designed for being connectable to each other.
  • the reinforcement elements 5 of two foundation elements 2a and 2b disposed adjacent to each other are connected together upon connection.
  • the connecting elements 71, 72 are designed so that they can be connected together in a simple manner. Think in this connection of an embodiment in which use is made of screw thread, for example.
  • the assembly of the lower two foundation elements 2c, 2d in figure 1 is designed to function as a base for the foundation pile 1 built up of foundation elements 2a-2d.
  • the foundation element 2d has a larger cross-section than the foundation element 2c disposed thereabove. In this way a widened base of the foundation pile 1 is formed.
  • the lowermost foundation element 2d has a shape designed for being drilled or forced into the ground. Its end may be spherical (11), conical (12), rectangular, hexagonal or polygonal, pyramidal or helical, depending on the ground structure to be penetrated.
  • the foundation pile 101 again comprises a number of stacked-together foundation elements 102a-102d.
  • Each foundation element 102a-102d comprises a foundation body 104 substantially made of a polymer concrete (PC), which comprises a concentrically disposed reinforcement element 105.
  • the reinforcement element 105 is a tube.
  • connecting means 171, 172 comprise the reinforcement element 105, analogous to the situation shown in figure 1 , in which a male-female connection between two adjacent foundation elements 102a-102b is provided.
  • FIG 2 there is shown that additionally the foundation bodies 104 themselves provide an improved and simplified connection.
  • the foundation body 104 is designed so that an upper end face 181 thereof closely abuts the lower end face 182 of the foundation body 104 disposed thereabove; see the connection between the element 102a and the element 102b.
  • the lower end face 181 is configured as a male connecting part and the upper end face 181 is configured as a female connecting part.
  • the reinforcement element 105 is hollow.
  • the reinforcement element 105 can thus function as a flow tube for transporting a flowable medium therethrough from one end of the foundation element to the other end of the foundation element.
  • the reinforcement element 105 is therefore also configured as a flow tube.
  • an additional tube is provided as a flow tube, although the dual function leads to a relatively compact foundation element 102. It also applies in that case that in this way the flow tube can extend along the entire length of a number of foundation elements, preferably along the length of the foundation pile, because the hollow reinforcement elements 105 are designed to be connectable to each other.
  • the flow tube 105 can be used for forming an injected base 111 at the bottom side of the foundation pile 101.
  • the flowable medium is in that case a medium that can be injected into the ground for forming an injected base 111.
  • Suitable mediums are, for example, various types of injection mortars. The skilled person will be familiar with said mediums.
  • Two foundation elements described above can be used for forming a foundation pile in the ground.
  • the general method described below can be used for that purpose.
  • the foundation element 2d, 102c that is to form the base of the foundation pile is installed into the ground by pressing, drilling or ramming or another suitable technique. Said installation takes place over a length such that the upper side 81 of said foundation element will be positioned at approximately the same level as the ground surface.
  • a further foundation element 2c, 102b can be fixed on top thereof. Said fixation can take place by means of the connecting means 71, 72, 171, 172, 181, 182.
  • the connecting means may comprise a screw attachment, for example for the reinforcement element 5, 105.
  • the foundation bodies 4, 104 can be glued together.
  • An epoxy can be used for that purpose, for example.
  • Other (additional) connections are also conceivable, however, such as a snap connection, a pin joint, a rotating joint or the like.
  • the base 111 is yet to be formed.
  • the medium for forming the injected base 111 is introduced into the flow tube 105 from the upper side and will flow downward until the injection outlet 109 is reached. At this location the flowable medium will flow into the ground. After curing, the formation of the base 111 of the foundation pile 101 is complete.
