Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to prestressed concrete posts as well as to a method for manufacturing prestressed concrete posts.
- Prestressed concrete posts have many applications, for example they may be used as fence posts or orchard posts. Typical fence posts are 2,20m high. Common orchard posts can be used for netting or trellis support, for example 3-4 m long posts can be used as a support for fruit trees in espalier orchard design, and 5 m long posts can be used for mounting anti-hail nets in such orchards.
- The prestressed concrete posts are expected to have high reliability and durability. The prestressed concrete posts have higher, as compared to reinforced concrete posts, strength parameters at significantly improved elasticity, as well as they are characterised by high reliability.
- In known prestressed concrete posts manufacturing techniques, a mould comprising parallel trays (formworks) is used, wherein prestressing tendons are stretched and which are then filled with concrete. After the concrete has solidified in the mould, the posts can be taken out of the mould and cut into posts having a required length. In this manner, posts of different lengths can be manufactured, even up to 120 meters.
- There is a need to provide an alternative structure as well as an alternative method for manufacturing prestressed concrete posts, which would allow production of posts having a weight lower than typical prestressed concrete posts, in order to facilitate transportation as well as installation of the posts.
- The object of the invention is a method for manufacturing prestressed concrete posts, the method comprising the steps of: providing a mould comprising a plurality of trays with prestressing tendons arranged lengthwise in the trays; and filling the trays with concrete and allowing the concrete to solidify within the tray; the method being characterised by: filling the trays with concrete using a concrete container mounted on a movable carriage over the trays, the container comprising mandrels arranged in correspondence with the trays such that the mandrels are submerged in the concrete output from the container when filling the trays; moving the carriage along the trays, thereby forming, in the concrete being poured into the trays, openings having a cross-section corresponding to the mandrels.
- The container may have a concrete outlet having a width corresponding to the width of the mould such that during a single run of the carriage along the mould, all trays are filled with the concrete.
- The container may have a plurality of outlets and during a single run of the carriage along the mould, a subset of the trays is filled with the concrete via one of the outlets, and wherein in a subsequent run of the carriage along the mould, a different subset of the trays is filled with the concrete via another of the outlets.
- The container may have an outlet of a width smaller than the width of the mould and wherein during a single run of the carriage along the mould, a subset of the trays is filled with the concrete, and thereafter the carriage is moved perpendicularly to the mould and in a subsequent run of the carriage along the mould, a different subset of the trays is filled with the concrete.
- The method may further comprise applying vibrations to the concrete in the tray in proximity to the mandrel when filling the tray.
- The method may further comprise pressing the concrete in the tray in proximity to the mandrel when filling the tray.
- The mandrels can be shorter than the tray.
- Another object of the invention is a prestressed concrete post comprising prestressing tendons arranged along its length, characterised by comprising a through hole within the concrete along the length of the post between the prestressing tendons, the through hole being formed prior to solidification of the concrete.

Fig. 5 presents a the trays during filling; -
Fig. 6 depicts a mould with trays and a movable carriage in a perspective view of a third embodiment of the invention; -
Fig. 7A-7E show prestressed concrete posts according to various embodiments of the invention. -
Fig. 1 presents a manufacturing line for manufacturing prestressed concrete posts according to the invention. - A
mixer 110 is used to prepare concrete of a class selected accordingly to the required durability of the post to be manufactured. A composition of the concrete mixture is selected according to known methods of concrete technology. - A
mould 130 for manufacturing the posts comprises a plurality oflong trays 131, having a length being a multiplicity of a length of a single post (for example, 40 meters or even up to 120 meters). Thetrays 131 have preferably rounded bottom internal edges, which after cleansing are lubricated with an anti-adhesive agent to facilitate later extraction of the post from thetray 131. Aprestressing tendon 12 is arranged lengthwise in thetray 131 and stretched. Asingle mould 130 may comprise a few, a dozen or even a few dozen trays. - The
trays 131 of themould 130 are filled withconcrete 11 prepared in themixer 110. A first embodiment of the mould is shown inFigs. 2 and3 . Theconcrete 11 is poured to the mould from above from amovable carriage 132, propelled by an engine, on which acontainer 134 for concrete is mounted. Thecontainer 134 has aconcrete discharging outlet 135 andmandrels 137 mounted below theoutlet 135. Themandrels 137 may have a length of e.g. 1 m and a diameter of e.g. 2 cm. Themandrels 137 are submerged in theconcrete 11 and move along with thecarriage 132 in a direction parallel to thetrays 131 along a full length of the element being formed, thereby forming throughholes 13 in theconcrete 11 that fills thetrays 131. - The
concrete 11 shall have a consistency such that the throughholes 13 are not backfilled and stay as formed while theconcrete 11 solidifies. For example, a concrete of a stiff - flowing consistency according to a Polish norm PN-88/B-06250:1988 or a concrete of a S1 class according to a norm EN 206:2014 and EN 12350-2:2011. - In a second embodiment, as shown in
Fig. 4 , thecontainer 134 may comprise a plurality ofoutlets trays 131, so that in a single run of thecarriage 132 along themould 130 only a subset of thetrays 131 is filled. - In a third embodiment, as shown schematically in
Fig. 6 , thecontainer 134A may have a width smaller than the width of themould 130, i.e. a width of a few or a dozen or so, but not all thetrays 131, so that in a single run of thecarriage 132 along themould 130 only a subset of thetrays 131 is filled. - By filling only a subset of the
trays 131 in a single run, as in the second and third embodiment, the amount of concrete required for a single run is limited, which allows for use of a relativelysmall container 134 and does not require much energy to move thecarriage 132 along themould 130 in order to form the through holes by themandrels 137. Thereby, a relatively low power engine can be used to drive the carriage. In such a case, after filling a first subset oftrays 131, i.e. after a first run of thecarriage 132 along the full length of themould 130, themandrels 137 are lifted up above thetrays 131 and the carriage returns to its initial position, i.e. to the front end of thetrays 131. Thereafter, theconcrete outlet 135 is opened over thetrays 131 that have not been filled (according to the second embodiment) or thecontainer 134 is moved over the unfilled trays (according to the third embodiment) and a subsequent run is executed, thereby filling subsequent trays and forming therein posts with the through holes.Fig. 5 presents a close up on the trays during the filling wherein a subset oftrays 131A has been filled with concrete, thereby forming theposts 11 with the throughholes 13 and wherein another subset oftrays 131B is to be filled in a subsequent run. - In the first embodiment, all trays are filled in a single run, therefore the carriage does not need to return to the initial position after filling the trays.
- In order to improve consolidation of the concrete poured into the
trays 131, and to remove air bubbles, thecarriage 132 may comprise a vibrating and/or a pressing device. The device shall act on a top surface of the poured concrete in proximity to the mandrel, preferably at a distance from a distal (free) end of the mandrel so that a shape of the formed throughhole 13 which has been already formed and from which the mandrel has already been removed, is not affected. Therefore, the vibrating and/or pressing device shall act on theconcrete 11 volume over the part of thethrough hole 13 being formed that still compromises themandrel 137 therein. - After some time has elapsed, for example 2 hours from filling the mould with the concrete, the concrete can be heated (for example with steam) by means of a
heating installation 140, in order to accelerate the consolidation of the concrete. The concrete may be heated for example to 60°C at a rate of 10°C per hour. After the concrete has reached the required durability, for example at least 50% of the final durability, the formed posts may be taken out of thetrays 131 by releasing the stretch of theprestressing tendons 12 and lifting the posts up above thetrays 131. Subsequently, the posts may be cut into the required lengths (for example 2,20m or 3,70m) using a circular saw on acutting station 150. The finished posts can be labelled and stacked. The concrete achieves its durability after 28 days from solidification. -
Figs. 7A - 7C show examples of prestressed concrete posts comprisingprestressing tendons 12 in form of 3-wire strands made of steel. -
Fig. 7A shows a prestressed concrete post for use in orchards with fourtendons 12 and a circular throughhole 13A. -
Fig. 7B shows a prestressed concrete post for use in orchards with sixtendons 12 and an oblong throughhole 13B. -
Fig. 7C shows a prestressed concrete post for use in orchards with sixtendons 12 and an oblong throughhole 13A having a central contraction. - The posts may have a trapezoidal cross-section as shown in
Fig. 7A - 7C or other shapes, for example octagonal as shown inFig. 7D or substantially oval as shown inFig. 7E . - The trapezoidal form can be conveniently formed in a trapezoidal tray, with rounded internal edges, having a bottom which forms the shorter base of the trapezoid, which facilitates lifting up the formed posts from the trays. The side walls of the tray ma be inclined at an angle from 3 to 30 degrees.
- A length of the post is determined by its application and typically ranges from 2,20 m to 5 m. A width and a height of a cross-section of the post, at the widest point, are determined by the required durability of the post and typically range from 3 cm to 30 cm. Preferably, the width is equal to the height and ranges from 7 to 9 cm.
- In other embodiments, other types of the
prestressing tendons 12 can be used, such as multi-wire strands (e.g. from 2 up to 7 wires) or a profiled wire. Theprestressing tendon 12 can be made of steel or other material. - The shape of the through
hole 13 may be selected depending on the geometry of the post and depends on the shape of themandrel 137, which forms the through-hole in the concrete 11 volume before it has solidified. Thecontainer 134 may havedifferent mandrels 137 attached to it, in order to form different through-holes in thetrays 131. - Thus, the concrete post as described herein comprises a through
hole 13A-13E within the concrete 11 along the length of the post between theprestressing tendons 12, the throughhole 13A-13E being formed prior to solidification of the concrete 11. In other words, the throughhole 13A - 13E is positioned on a line connecting, in the cross-section, at least twoprestressing tendons 12. Preferably, a geometric centre of the throughhole 13A - 13E is located at the geometric centre of the post. - The structure of the posts as described herein and the method for manufacturing the posts enable production of posts having a lower weight than standard prestressed concrete posts, which facilitates transport and installation of the posts. In addition, the lower amount of aggregates and cement used to manufacture a single post has a positive ecological aspect - posts can be more easily recycled.
