Definitions
- the invention relates, in the first place, to a process for the production on site or in the factory of concrete stairs, more particularly but not limited to the type with a central shaft.
- the invention also relates to the concrete stairs obtained by the aforementioned method.
- a mold is placed, defining a central column intended to form the barrel.
- the latter is made by pouring concrete through the upper end of the mold defining such a central barrel. Then we proceed to pour the concrete on the areas of the mold intended to define the steps and risers.
- the concrete thus deposited is vibrated, then the operator evens out the steps thus produced, in particular using a shovel or a trowel, then smooths the concrete that has not yet solidified with a trowel.
- the finish must be strong enough to allow repeated passages of users without showing any wear or bursting due to the presence of air bubbles. This explains the need for the presence of at least two layers of coating, increasing the loss of time accordingly.
- the document CN 206170284 describes a method of manufacturing a staircase from a mould.
- the mold is thus available in several parts, including a bottom giving their shapes to the different steps and risers, side walls, an upper cover closing the mold and constituting the future underside of the staircase. These different parts are then assembled to form a mold into which concrete is poured.
- the staircase is not manufactured in position, therefore directly in operational mode for example on the site in question, but upside down.
- the air bubbles that rise to the surface of the concrete are then found on the underside of the staircase. They are therefore no longer on the surface of the steps and the passage of users then no longer constitutes a problem for the holding of the coating layer providing the finish.
- the finishing step therefore turns out to be much less crucial.
- the present invention proposes a method for obtaining a staircase with a core or balanced with a barrel, or not, finished at the outlet of the mould, and requiring only very minor alterations, reducing the arduousness and the danger associated with work on the mold while allowing the manufacture of several step heights per mold.
- the invention relates to a process for the production of one-piece concrete stairs, in particular but not exclusively of the central shaft type, implementing a closed mold, composed of a lower mold and an upper mold or cover, defining between them a volume intended to be filled with concrete.
- the invention consists first of all in implementing a closed mould, the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the stairs to be made, and on the other hand, to inject the concrete of a much more liquid consistency than the traditional concretes used for the stairs, from the lower end of the mold according to an upward movement, in particular by means of a suitable pump, and more particularly a peristaltic pump.
- Self-compacting concrete therefore does not need to be vibrated, a usually very physical and painful operation, and has a greatly reduced number of air bubbles, making it possible to obtain a finished product that is smoother on the surface.
- the various constituent elements of the upper mold or cowl can be made up of several sectors, in order to promote, on the one hand their production, on the other hand their movement, their storage, their installation on the site and their demoulding.
- the internal face of the upper mold or cover that is to say the surface called upon to define the shape of the various steps and risers of the future staircase, is coated, in particular by spraying, with a mortar, prior to injecting the self-compacting concrete.
- This mortar is mainly intended to trap the air resulting from the solidification of the concrete between said concrete and the mortar.
- the particular choice of self-compacting concrete on the one hand, and mortar on the other hand, makes it possible to prevent air bubbles from piercing the upper surface of the staircase after demoulding.
- the mortar which differs from concrete by the absence of gravel in its constitution, comes to form a perfectly smooth layer in contact with the internal wall of the cover.
- the self-compacting concrete is then injected into the mold and comes into contact with the mortar.
- the last air bubbles likely to remain are then trapped between the upper part of the concrete and the lower part of the mortar. They therefore no longer appear on the surface of the step, which appears to be smooth.
- the internal wall of the cap is covered with mortar before the assembly of the cap on the lower mould. More advantageously, said mortar is projected onto this surface, thus making it possible to reduce the duration of preparation of the cover of the mold.
- the lower and upper molds or cover are coated beforehand, on their internal face, that is to say on their face intended to receive the self-compacting concrete, with a component capable of promoting mold release, and in particular mold release oil.
- the mold release oil is previously deposited on said internal face.
- the injection of the concrete is carried out from the base of a column, able to define said central shaft, said column communicating with the volume defined by the two molds respectively lower and upper, by means of through lights.
- the concrete being injected at the level of the base or lower end of the column rises in it and, as it goes, fills the volume defined by the two moulds, so as to obtain a staircase of character.
- monobloc also integrating the central shaft.
- the self-compacting concrete used belongs to class SF2 (spread between 660mm and 750mm), or class SF3 (spread between 760mm and 850mm), these two classes being defined by standard NF EN 206, the spreading being a test described by standard NF EN 12350-8.
- stiffeners are integrated and fixed to the lower mold before the upper mold or cover is put in place.
- the invention also relates to one-piece concrete stairs implementing the method described above.
- the figure 1 therefore represents the fundamental elements for the realization of a one-piece staircase free of any central shaft, and in this case a bench staircase.
- the reference (1) designates the staircase resulting from the implementation of the method according to the invention
- the reference (2) designates the lower mold
- the references (3) and (4) designate two sectors of the cover or upper mould, intended to cooperate with the lower mold (2).
- the method of the invention aims to produce a one-piece concrete staircase in position.
- the lower mold is fixed to the ground to avoid lifting during the demoulding phase of the stairs.
- This lower mold typically made of steel, has in this case a flat and inclined bottom (5), since both the underside of the staircase has no specific technical function.
- the lower mold (2) is intended to receive a cover or upper mold (3) and (4), also made of steel, the shape of which corresponds specifically to the different steps and risers of the staircase to be produced.
- the upper cover (3) and (4) is therefore intended to be positioned on the lower mold (2), the latter being provided for this purpose with lateral cutouts (6) capable of receiving said upper cover (3) and ( 4) of corresponding shape, and this, as already said, to define the steps and risers.
- the fixing of the upper mold or cover on the lower mold is obtained by means of bolts and centering devices distributed along the central barrel on the one hand, and at the level of the external edges, by means of rods and nuts or even bolts associated with centralizers.
- This concrete is of the self-compacting type with a minimum class of SF2, that is to say, having a spread at the cones of Abrhams greater than 660 mm.
- the objective of such a relatively liquid concrete is, on the one hand, to allow its rise within the mould, in particular by implementing a peristaltic pump and, on the other hand, to reduce macro-bubbling, an element constituting one of the drawbacks of the methods of the prior art.
- such concrete has a gravel/sand ratio of between 0.5 and 1.4, typically close to 1.
- Cement the main element of concrete, is dosed between 280 and 500 kg/m 3 of concrete, and typically close to 340 kg/m 3 .
- the water/equivalent binder ratio within the meaning of the EN206 standard is 0.3 to 0.6, typically close to 0.5.
- Such concrete is also likely to receive additives within the meaning of the EN206 standard of the dairy type, metakaolin, fly ash, limestone filler, to complete the grain size, optimize costs or mechanical performance.
- adjuvants are incorporated into the mixture: a superplasticizer or water reducer with a dosage close to 3 l/m 3 .
- a superplasticizer thus added can be of the high water reduction type, such as a polycarboxylate.
- a release oil applied for example with a sprayer.
- a release oil can consist of a solvent (for example marketed under the reference Grace wax E-31), a synthetic oil (for example marketed under the reference Chryso Dem Oléo 64), a vegetable oil or plant-based (for example marketed under the reference Grace Décobio S33).
- the internal face of the covers (3) and (4) is coated, in particular by spraying, that is to say including at the level of what will be the step and the riser of the staircase, a mortar intended, as already said, in particular to trap any bubbles resulting from the concrete between said mortar and the concrete, in addition to promoting the external appearance of the steps.
- the mold release oil having previously coated the internal face of said covers (3) and (4) is chosen so that the mortar adheres to the cover when fresh, but not to the hardened state. It may be an oil of the type of those previously described. This oil is selected precisely following the performance of various tests, during which we observe any detachment of the mortar from the mold and the phenomena of micro-bubbling or stains that may appear on the facings. The selection of the oil therefore depends on the locally available materials for making the mortar, the concrete and the equipment used for the application (spraying, scouring or not).
- the lower mold (2) comprises, in its central position, a column part, intended to cooperate with the upper covers, each provided with a complementary column part with that of the lower mold, in order to define a cylinder (in this case with a circular base) capable of defining the shaft or central core.
- the injection of concrete is always carried out at the lower level, but through the column intended to constitute the central shaft.
- the elements defining the column are pierced with through slots (9), allowing the concrete undergoing the ascent within the column, to be distributed in the volume defined between the upper cover and the lower mould, and thus create and build the steps and risers of the desired staircase.
- These lights have been schematized on the figures 3 to 5 . They are of size, and in particular of height, which are substantially less than the risers.
- stiffeners The main function of these stiffeners is to take up the thrust of the concrete resulting from the injection, in particular at the lower level. This thrust of the concrete is exerted perpendicular to all the surfaces, and it may prove necessary to block the vertical but also the horizontal forces, in order to avoid in particular a rotation of the cowls during the injection of the concrete.
- stiffeners may consist of tubular reinforcement bars, in particular of square cross-section, arranged on the upper cover, vertical to each of the risers, the diagonals of the square sections being oriented horizontally and vertically respectively.
- the stiffeners can also result from an assembly of folded and welded sheets.
- These stiffeners can be fixed with a rod / nut clamp, by means of a profile notched for this purpose, allowing a certain flexibility in the initial positioning of the cover, and the inclination of the profiles at 45° allows a good recovery of the horizontal forces and vertical. The tightening then tends to position the cover in the optimum position.
- the invention relates to one-piece concrete stairs cast in position obtained by the method of the invention. If the mechanical properties of these stairs do not differ or little from the stairs made with traditional production processes, on the other hand they have a very clearly improved state of finish, due to the absence or quasi-absence of micro-bubbling coming from bursting. on the upper surface of the steps, resulting in a considerable gain in terms of construction time.

Description
L'invention concerne, en premier lieu, un procédé pour la réalisation sur site ou en usine d'escaliers en béton, plus particulièrement mais cependant non limitativement du type à fût central.The invention relates, in the first place, to a process for the production on site or in the factory of concrete stairs, more particularly but not limited to the type with a central shaft.
L'invention concerne également les escaliers en béton obtenus par le procédé précité.The invention also relates to the concrete stairs obtained by the aforementioned method.
Traditionnellement, la réalisation d'escaliers en béton, notamment de type monobloc, sont réalisés sur site. Cependant, de plus en plus, ces escaliers sont réalisés en usine, puis transportés et mis en place sur site.Traditionally, the construction of concrete stairs, in particular of the one-piece type, are carried out on site. However, more and more, these stairs are made in the factory, then transported and set up on site.
Ainsi, dans le cadre de la réalisation de tels escaliers en béton directement sur site, ils sont réalisés de la manière suivante, par exemple dans le cas où l'escalier comporte un fût central.Thus, in the context of the production of such concrete stairs directly on site, they are produced in the following manner, for example in the case where the staircase comprises a central shaft.
On procède tout d'abord à la mise en place d'un moule, définissant une colonne centrale destinée à constituer le fût. Ce dernier est réalisé en coulant du béton par l'extrémité supérieure du moule définissant un tel fût central. Puis l'on procède au coulage du béton sur les zones du moule destinées à définir les marches et contremarches. Le béton ainsi déposé est vibré, puis l'opérateur égalise les marches ainsi réalisées notamment à l'aide d'une pelle ou d'une truelle, puis lisse le béton non encore pris en masse avec une lisseuse.First of all, a mold is placed, defining a central column intended to form the barrel. The latter is made by pouring concrete through the upper end of the mold defining such a central barrel. Then we proceed to pour the concrete on the areas of the mold intended to define the steps and risers. The concrete thus deposited is vibrated, then the operator evens out the steps thus produced, in particular using a shovel or a trowel, then smooths the concrete that has not yet solidified with a trowel.
En effet, classiquement, il se crée concomitamment avec le coulage du béton, des bulles d'air, qui remontent en surface lors de la prise en masse du béton. Ces bulles d'air peuvent se figer dans la masse du béton, mais peuvent également éclater à la surface supérieure de chacune des marches, faisant apparaître des cratères, qu'il convient d'éliminer. Ce phénomène de bullage, bien connu dans le domaine considéré, engendre la nécessité de procéder à une deuxième opération de lissage lorsque le béton a débuté sa prise.Indeed, conventionally, it is created concomitantly with the pouring of the concrete, air bubbles, which rise to the surface during the caking of the concrete. These air bubbles can freeze in the mass of concrete, but can also burst on the upper surface of each of the steps, causing craters to appear, which should be eliminated. This phenomenon of bubbling, well known in the field considered, generates the need to carry out a second smoothing operation when the concrete has begun to set.
Qui plus est, il n'est pas rare nonobstant cette double opération de lissage, qu'un dépôt d'un autre revêtement ou enduit soit mis en œuvre sur le parement des pièces en béton, dans un souci d'esthétique notamment, afin de complètement escamoter ce phénomène de bullage.Moreover, it is not uncommon, notwithstanding this double smoothing operation, for another coating or coating to be deposited on the facing of the concrete parts, for the sake of aesthetics in particular, in order to completely eliminate this bubbling phenomenon.
D'ores et déjà, on comprendra aisément que la réalisation des escaliers en béton monoblocs, tel que décrit précédemment, que ces escaliers soient réalisés sur site ou en usine entraîne un travail important de finition, tout particulièrement chronophage.Already, it will be easily understood that the production of one-piece concrete stairs, as described above, whether these stairs are made on site or in the factory, entails significant finishing work, which is particularly time-consuming.
Par ailleurs, bien que certaines techniques, comme la vibration du béton, aient été développées afin de réduire ce problème, le produit sort néanmoins bullé et nécessite alors un important travail de finition pour masquer ces bulles.Moreover, although certain techniques, such as the vibration of concrete, have been developed to reduce this problem, the product nevertheless comes out bubbled and then requires significant finishing work to hide these bubbles.
De plus, la finition se doit d'être suffisamment solide pour permettre les passages répétés des usagers sans présenter aucune usure ou éclatement lié à la présence de bulles d'air. Ceci explique la nécessité de la présence d'au moins deux couches d'enduit, accroissant d'autant la perte de temps.In addition, the finish must be strong enough to allow repeated passages of users without showing any wear or bursting due to the presence of air bubbles. This explains the need for the presence of at least two layers of coating, increasing the loss of time accordingly.
En outre, la réalisation de tels escaliers s'accompagne d'une grande pénibilité pour le ou les opérateurs, dans la mesure où ces derniers doivent procéder, outre au coulage du béton, à son égalisation au niveau de chacune des marches notamment à l'aide d'une pelle, étant souligné que cette opération est à réaliser alors même que le béton n'est pas pris en masse, et que l'opérateur est plus ou moins en position d'équilibriste sur les contreforts éventuels du moule. Outre cet aspect de pénibilité, vient se rajouter une problématique de sécurité, justement en raison du positionnement de l'opérateur un peu comme il peut, pour assurer cette opération d'égalisation des marches puis de lissage du béton, l'opérateur devant travailler dans l'escalier en cours de réalisation, courbé à même le moule à plusieurs mètres de hauteur, les risques de chute étant bien présents.In addition, the realization of such stairs is accompanied by great difficulty for the operator or operators, insofar as the latter must proceed, in addition to pouring the concrete, to its equalization at the level of each of the steps, in particular at the using a shovel, it being emphasized that this operation is to be carried out even when the concrete is not solidified, and that the operator is more or less in a balancing act on any buttresses of the mould. In addition to this aspect of arduousness, there is also a safety problem, precisely because of the positioning of the operator as best he can, to ensure this operation of leveling the steps and then smoothing the concrete, the operator having to work in the staircase in progress, curved on the mold several meters high, the risk of falling being very present.
Enfin, en raison de la mise en œuvre d'un béton relativement ferme, il convient traditionnellement de procéder à une opération de vibration du moule ou interne avec des aiguilles vibrantes, rajoutant aux inconvénients précités une nuisance sonore, affectant de manière supplémentaire les conditions de travail de l'opérateur.Finally, due to the implementation of a relatively firm concrete, it is traditionally advisable to carry out an operation of vibration of the mold or internal with vibrating needles, adding to the aforementioned disadvantages a noise nuisance, affecting in an additional way the conditions of operator work.

En revanche, bien que la partie affectée par le phénomène de bullage n'affecte plus la surface visible des marches, l'étape de finition demeure nécessaire, les prescripteurs de ce type d'escalier réclamant un produit fini exempt de tout défaut, y compris au niveau de la face inférieure de l'escalier, c'est-à-dire de la face opposée à celle recevant les marches.On the other hand, although the part affected by the phenomenon of bubbling no longer affects the visible surface of the steps, the finishing stage remains necessary, the specifiers of this type of staircase demanding a finished product free from any defect, including at the level of the lower face of the staircase, that is to say the face opposite to that receiving the steps.
Mais d'autre part et surtout, d'une part le procédé décrit ne permet pas la réalisation de l'escalier en place en son lieu définitif, et d'autre part, il ne permet la fabrication que d'une seule hauteur de marche par moule, et implique donc de disposer d'autant de moules que de types d'escalier à réaliser.But on the other hand and above all, on the one hand the process described does not allow the realization of the staircase in place in its final place, and on the other hand, it allows the manufacture of only one step height per mould, and therefore implies having as many molds as there are types of stairs to be made.

Cependant, dans ce procédé, le béton est injecté à travers des orifices réalisés au sein du moule supérieur, nécessitant toujours la vibration du moule, et générant également des bulles d'air.However, in this process, the concrete is injected through orifices made within the upper mould, always requiring the vibration of the mould, and also generating air bubbles.
En outre, les moules mis en œuvre dans ce procédé demeurent après prise en masse du béton, interdisant dès lors leur réutilisation.In addition, the molds used in this process remain after the concrete has solidified, thus prohibiting their reuse.
La présente invention propose un procédé permettant l'obtention d'un escalier à noyau ou balancé à fût, ou non, fini en sortie du moule, et ne nécessitant que des retouches très mineures, réduisant la pénibilité et la dangerosité liées au travail sur le moule tout en autorisant la fabrication de plusieurs hauteurs de marche par moule.The present invention proposes a method for obtaining a staircase with a core or balanced with a barrel, or not, finished at the outlet of the mould, and requiring only very minor alterations, reducing the arduousness and the danger associated with work on the mold while allowing the manufacture of several step heights per mold.
A cet effet, l'invention vise un procédé pour la réalisation sur d'escaliers monoblocs en béton, notamment mais non exclusivement de type à fût central, mettant en œuvre un moule fermé, composé d'un moule inférieur et d'un moule supérieur ou capot, définissant entre eux un volume destiné à être rempli par du béton.To this end, the invention relates to a process for the production of one-piece concrete stairs, in particular but not exclusively of the central shaft type, implementing a closed mold, composed of a lower mold and an upper mold or cover, defining between them a volume intended to be filled with concrete.
Ce procédé consiste :
- ▪ à fixer et installer le moule inférieur en position opérationnelle ;
- ▪ à positionner le moule supérieur ou capot en regard dudit moule inférieur et à le fixer sur ledit moule inférieur ;
- ▪ à injecter dans le volume défini par les deux moules respectivement inférieur et supérieur, et à partir de la base inférieure dudit volume, du béton de type auto-plaçant, jusqu'à combler l'intégralité dudit volume ;
- ▪ après prise en masse du béton, à ôter le moule supérieur et le moule inférieur, et donc à démouler l'escalier ainsi réalisé.
- ▪ fixing and installing the lower mold in the operational position;
- ▪ positioning the upper mold or cover opposite said lower mold and fixing it to said lower mold;
- ▪ injecting into the volume defined by the two respectively lower and upper moulds, and from the lower base of said volume, concrete of the self-compacting type, until all of said volume is filled;
- ▪ after the concrete has solidified, to remove the upper mold and the lower mould, and therefore to unmold the staircase thus produced.
En d'autres termes, contrairement aux procédés classiques et traditionnels de réalisation d'escaliers en béton, l'invention consiste tout d'abord à mettre en œuvre un moule fermé, dont la forme correspond à la forme de l'escalier à réaliser, et d'autre part, à injecter le béton de consistance nettement plus liquide que les bétons traditionnels mis en œuvre pour les escaliers, à partir de l'extrémité inférieure du moule selon un mouvement ascendant, notamment au moyen d'une pompe adaptée, et plus particulièrement d'une pompe péristaltique. Le béton auto-plaçant n'a donc pas besoin d'être vibré, opération usuellement très physique et pénible, et présente un nombre fortement réduit de bulles d'air, permettant d'obtenir un produit fini plus lisse en surface.In other words, unlike conventional and traditional methods of making concrete stairs, the invention consists first of all in implementing a closed mould, the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the stairs to be made, and on the other hand, to inject the concrete of a much more liquid consistency than the traditional concretes used for the stairs, from the lower end of the mold according to an upward movement, in particular by means of a suitable pump, and more particularly a peristaltic pump. Self-compacting concrete therefore does not need to be vibrated, a usually very physical and painful operation, and has a greatly reduced number of air bubbles, making it possible to obtain a finished product that is smoother on the surface.
Selon l'invention, les différents éléments constitutifs du moule supérieur ou capot, peuvent être constitués de plusieurs secteurs, afin de favoriser, d'une part leur réalisation, d'autre part leur déplacement, leur stockage, leur mise en place sur le site et leur démoulage.According to the invention, the various constituent elements of the upper mold or cowl can be made up of several sectors, in order to promote, on the one hand their production, on the other hand their movement, their storage, their installation on the site and their demoulding.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, on enduit, notamment par pulvérisation, la face interne du moule supérieur ou capot, c'est-à-dire la surface appelée à définir la forme des différentes marches et contremarches du futur escalier, d'un mortier, préalablement à l'injection du béton auto-plaçant. Ce mortier a principalement pour vocation d'emprisonner l'air résultant de la prise en masse du béton entre ledit béton et le mortier. Le choix particulier du béton auto-plaçant d'une part, et du mortier d'autre part, permet d'éviter que les bulles d'air ne percent à la surface supérieure de l'escalier après démoulage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the internal face of the upper mold or cover, that is to say the surface called upon to define the shape of the various steps and risers of the future staircase, is coated, in particular by spraying, with a mortar, prior to injecting the self-compacting concrete. This mortar is mainly intended to trap the air resulting from the solidification of the concrete between said concrete and the mortar. The particular choice of self-compacting concrete on the one hand, and mortar on the other hand, makes it possible to prevent air bubbles from piercing the upper surface of the staircase after demoulding.
Le mortier, qui se distingue du béton par l'absence de gravillons dans sa constitution, vient former une couche parfaitement lisse au contact de la paroi interne du capot. Le béton auto-plaçant est ensuite injecté dans le moule et vient au contact du mortier. Les dernières bulles d'air susceptibles de subsister, sont alors emprisonnées entre la partie supérieure du béton et la partie inférieure du mortier. Elles n'apparaissent donc plus en surface de la marche qui apparaît comme lisse.The mortar, which differs from concrete by the absence of gravel in its constitution, comes to form a perfectly smooth layer in contact with the internal wall of the cover. The self-compacting concrete is then injected into the mold and comes into contact with the mortar. The last air bubbles likely to remain are then trapped between the upper part of the concrete and the lower part of the mortar. They therefore no longer appear on the surface of the step, which appears to be smooth.
De fait et selon l'invention, le mortier mis en œuvre comprend :
- ▪ entre 5 et 50 % en masse de ciment ;
- ▪ entre 40 et 95 % en masse d'agrégats fins (notamment sables, filler) ;
- ▪ un mélange d'adjuvants choisis dans le groupe comprenant les super-plastifiants, les accélérateurs de prise en masse, les retardateurs de prise en masse, les agents anti-retrait, etc..
- ▪ between 5 and 50% by mass of cement;
- ▪ between 40 and 95% by mass of fine aggregates (in particular sands, filler);
- ▪ a mixture of adjuvants chosen from the group comprising super-plasticizers, solidification accelerators, solidification retarders, anti-shrinkage agents, etc.
Avantageusement, la paroi interne du capot est recouverte de mortier avant le montage du capot sur le moule inférieur. Plus avantageusement, ledit mortier est projeté sur cette surface, permettant ainsi de réduire la durée de préparation du capot du moule.Advantageously, the internal wall of the cap is covered with mortar before the assembly of the cap on the lower mould. More advantageously, said mortar is projected onto this surface, thus making it possible to reduce the duration of preparation of the cover of the mold.
Par ailleurs, et selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les moules inférieur et supérieur ou capot sont préalablement enduit, sur leur face interne, c'est-à-dire sur leur face destinée à recevoir le béton auto-plaçant, d'un composant apte à favoriser le démoulage, et notamment de l'huile de démoulage.Furthermore, and according to another characteristic of the invention, the lower and upper molds or cover are coated beforehand, on their internal face, that is to say on their face intended to receive the self-compacting concrete, with a component capable of promoting mold release, and in particular mold release oil.
Lorsque le capot reçoit sur sa face interne le mortier précédemment évoqué, l'huile de démoulage est préalablement déposée sur ladite face interne.When the cover receives on its internal face the aforementioned mortar, the mold release oil is previously deposited on said internal face.
Dans le cas plus particulier de réalisation d'escaliers monoblocs en béton à fut central, l'injection du béton est réalisée à partir de la base d'une colonne, apte à définir ledit fût central, ladite colonne communiquant avec le volume défini par les deux moules respectivement inférieur et supérieur, au moyen de lumières traversantes. Ce faisant, le béton étant injecté au niveau de la base ou extrémité inférieure de la colonne, monte dans celle-ci et, au fur et à mesure, remplit le volume défini par les deux moules, de telle sorte à obtenir un escalier de caractère monobloc intégrant également le fût central.In the more particular case of making one-piece concrete stairs with a central shaft, the injection of the concrete is carried out from the base of a column, able to define said central shaft, said column communicating with the volume defined by the two molds respectively lower and upper, by means of through lights. In doing so, the concrete being injected at the level of the base or lower end of the column, rises in it and, as it goes, fills the volume defined by the two moulds, so as to obtain a staircase of character. monobloc also integrating the central shaft.
Avantageusement, le béton auto-plaçant utilisé appartient à la classe SF2 (étalement compris entre 660mm et 750mm), ou à la classe SF3 (étalement compris entre 760mm et 850mm), ces deux classes étant définies par la norme NF EN 206, l'étalement étant un essai décrit par la norme NF EN 12350-8.Advantageously, the self-compacting concrete used belongs to class SF2 (spread between 660mm and 750mm), or class SF3 (spread between 760mm and 850mm), these two classes being defined by standard NF EN 206, the spreading being a test described by standard NF EN 12350-8.
Selon l'invention, et lorsque cela est requis, des raidisseurs sont intégrés et fixés au moule inférieur avant mise en place du moule ou capot supérieur.According to the invention, and when required, stiffeners are integrated and fixed to the lower mold before the upper mold or cover is put in place.
L'invention vise également les escaliers monoblocs en béton mettant en œuvre le procédé décrit précédemment.The invention also relates to one-piece concrete stairs implementing the method described above.

Plus précisément, la référence (1) désigne l'escalier résultant de la mise en œuvre du procédé conforme à l'invention, la référence (2) désigne le moule inférieur et les références (3) et (4) désignent deux secteurs du capot ou moule supérieur, destiné à coopérer avec le moule inférieur (2)..More precisely, the reference (1) designates the staircase resulting from the implementation of the method according to the invention, the reference (2) designates the lower mold and the references (3) and (4) designate two sectors of the cover or upper mould, intended to cooperate with the lower mold (2)..
Comme déjà indiqué précédemment, le procédé de l'invention vise la réalisation d'un escalier monobloc en béton en position. A cet effet, le moule inférieur est fixé au sol pour éviter un soulèvement en phase de démoulage de l'escalier. Ce moule inférieur, typiquement réalisé en acier, présente dans le cas d'espèce un fond plat et incliné (5), puisqu'aussi bien, la face inférieure de l'escalier n'a pas de fonction technique spécifique.As already indicated above, the method of the invention aims to produce a one-piece concrete staircase in position. For this purpose, the lower mold is fixed to the ground to avoid lifting during the demoulding phase of the stairs. This lower mold, typically made of steel, has in this case a flat and inclined bottom (5), since both the underside of the staircase has no specific technical function.
En revanche, le moule inférieur (2) est destiné à recevoir un capot ou moule supérieur (3) et (4), également en acier, dont la forme correspond spécifiquement aux différentes marches et contremarches de l'escalier à réaliser.On the other hand, the lower mold (2) is intended to receive a cover or upper mold (3) and (4), also made of steel, the shape of which corresponds specifically to the different steps and risers of the staircase to be produced.
Le capot supérieur (3) et (4) a donc vocation à être positionné sur le moule inférieur (2), ce dernier étant muni à cet effet de découpes latérales (6) aptes à recevoir en appui ledit capot supérieur (3) et (4) de forme correspondante, et ce, comme déjà dit, pour définir les marches et contremarches. Typiquement, la fixation du moule supérieur ou capot sur le moule inférieur est obtenue au moyen de boulons et de centreurs répartis le long du fût central d'une part, et au niveau des rives externes, au moyen de tiges et écrous ou encore de boulons associés à des centreurs.The upper cover (3) and (4) is therefore intended to be positioned on the lower mold (2), the latter being provided for this purpose with lateral cutouts (6) capable of receiving said upper cover (3) and ( 4) of corresponding shape, and this, as already said, to define the steps and risers. Typically, the fixing of the upper mold or cover on the lower mold is obtained by means of bolts and centering devices distributed along the central barrel on the one hand, and at the level of the external edges, by means of rods and nuts or even bolts associated with centralizers.
On a illustré sur cette figure, et notamment au niveau du moule inférieur (2) des orifices traversants (7), positionnés au choix sur ou sous la contremarche numéro 1, ou au niveau de la rive intérieure ou extérieure dudit moule. Il convient en effet de rappeler que selon invention, le béton constitutif de l'escalier (1) à réaliser est injecté à partir de la base, donc de l'extrémité inférieure du moule.There is illustrated in this figure, and in particular at the level of the lower mold (2), through holes (7), positioned as desired on or under riser number 1, or at the level of the inner or outer edge of said mold. It should indeed be recalled that according to the invention, the concrete constituting the staircase (1) to be produced is injected from the base, therefore from the lower end of the mould.
Ce béton est du type auto-plaçant de classe SF2 minimum, c'est-à-dire, présentant un étalement aux cônes d'Abrhams supérieur à 660 mm. L'objectif d'un tel béton relativement liquide est, d'une part, de permettre son ascension au sein du moule, notamment en mettant en œuvre une pompe péristaltique et, d'autre part, de diminuer le macro-bullage, élément constituant l'un des inconvénients des procédés de l'art antérieur.This concrete is of the self-compacting type with a minimum class of SF2, that is to say, having a spread at the cones of Abrhams greater than 660 mm. The objective of such a relatively liquid concrete is, on the one hand, to allow its rise within the mould, in particular by implementing a peristaltic pump and, on the other hand, to reduce macro-bubbling, an element constituting one of the drawbacks of the methods of the prior art.
A titre exemplatif, un tel béton présente un rapport gravillon / sable compris entre 0,5 et 1,4, typiquement voisin de 1. Le ciment, élément phare du béton, est dosé entre 280 et 500 kg/m3 de béton, et typiquement voisin de 340 kg/m3. Le rapport eau / liant équivalent au sens de la norme EN206 est de 0,3 à 0,6, typiquement voisin de 0,5.By way of example, such concrete has a gravel/sand ratio of between 0.5 and 1.4, typically close to 1. Cement, the main element of concrete, is dosed between 280 and 500 kg/m 3 of concrete, and typically close to 340 kg/m 3 . The water/equivalent binder ratio within the meaning of the EN206 standard is 0.3 to 0.6, typically close to 0.5.
Un tel béton est également susceptible de recevoir des additifs au sens de la norme EN206 du type laitier, métakaolin, cendres volantes, filler calcaire, ce pour compléter la granulométrie, optimiser les coûts ou les performances mécaniques.Such concrete is also likely to receive additives within the meaning of the EN206 standard of the dairy type, metakaolin, fly ash, limestone filler, to complete the grain size, optimize costs or mechanical performance.
Avantageusement on intègre des adjuvants au mélange : un super-plastifiant ou réducteur d'eau avec un dosage voisin de 3 l/m3. Un superplastifiant ainsi ajouté peut être du type à haute réduction d'eau, tel qu'un polycarboxylate.Advantageously, adjuvants are incorporated into the mixture: a superplasticizer or water reducer with a dosage close to 3 l/m 3 . A superplasticizer thus added can be of the high water reduction type, such as a polycarboxylate.
Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, préalablement à l'injection de béton dans le moule constitué des éléments (2), (3) et (4), les parois internes dudit moule sont revêtues d'une huile de démoulage appliquée par exemple au pulvérisateur. Une telle huile de démoulage peut être constituée d'une solvantée (par exemple commercialisée sous la référence Grâce cire E-31), d'une huile de synthèse (par exemple commercialisée sous la référence Chryso Dem Oléo 64), d'une huile végétale ou à base végétale (par exemple commercialisée sous la référence Grace Décobio S33).According to an advantageous characteristic, prior to the injection of concrete into the mold consisting of the elements (2), (3) and (4), the internal walls of the said mold are coated with a release oil applied for example with a sprayer. Such a release oil can consist of a solvent (for example marketed under the reference Grace wax E-31), a synthetic oil (for example marketed under the reference Chryso Dem Oléo 64), a vegetable oil or plant-based (for example marketed under the reference Grace Décobio S33).
Selon encore une autre caractéristique avantageuse de l'invention, on enduit, notamment par pulvérisation, la face interne des capots (3) et (4), c'est-à-dire y compris au niveau de ce qui sera la marche et la contremarche de l'escalier, d'un mortier destiné comme déjà dit à notamment emprisonner les éventuelles bulles résultant du béton entre ledit mortier et le béton, outre à favoriser l'aspect extérieur des marches.According to yet another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the internal face of the covers (3) and (4) is coated, in particular by spraying, that is to say including at the level of what will be the step and the riser of the staircase, a mortar intended, as already said, in particular to trap any bubbles resulting from the concrete between said mortar and the concrete, in addition to promoting the external appearance of the steps.
Ce mortier comprend :
- ▪
entre 5 à 50 % en masse de ciment ; - ▪ entre 40 et 95 % en masse d'agrégats fins, typiquement inférieurs à 1 millimètre ;
- ▪ et un mélange d'adjuvants comprenant un super-plastifiant et/ou des accélérateurs ou retardateurs de prise en masse du béton et/ou des agents anti-retrait.
- ▪ between 5 and 50% by mass of cement;
- ▪ between 40 and 95% by mass of fine aggregates, typically less than 1 millimetre;
- ▪ and a mixture of adjuvants comprising a super-plasticizer and/or accelerators or retarders of concrete setting and/or anti-shrinkage agents.
A cet égard, il est précisé que l'huile de démoulage ayant préalablement revêtu la face interne dudit capots (3) et (4) est choisie de telle sorte que le mortier adhère à l'état frais sur le capot, mais pas à l'état durci. Il peut s'agir d'une huile du type de celles précédemment décrites. Cette huile est sélectionnée précisément en suite de la réalisation de différents essais, au cours desquels on observe les décollements éventuels du mortier par rapport au moule et les phénomènes de micro-bullage ou tâches pouvant apparaitre sur les parements. La sélection de l'huile dépend donc des matériaux localement disponibles pour fabriquer le mortier, le béton et du matériel utilisé pour l'application (pulvérisation, chiffonnage ou non).In this respect, it is specified that the mold release oil having previously coated the internal face of said covers (3) and (4) is chosen so that the mortar adheres to the cover when fresh, but not to the hardened state. It may be an oil of the type of those previously described. This oil is selected precisely following the performance of various tests, during which we observe any detachment of the mortar from the mold and the phenomena of micro-bubbling or stains that may appear on the facings. The selection of the oil therefore depends on the locally available materials for making the mortar, the concrete and the equipment used for the application (spraying, scouring or not).
En raison du procédé de réalisation d'un escalier en béton monobloc de l'invention, coulé en position, il est possible avec le même moule inférieur (2) de pouvoir réaliser des escaliers avec une hauteur de marche légèrement différente du fond de moule, en choisissant les capots (3) et (4) appropriés. Ces déclinaisons par rapport à la hauteur de base du moule s'établit généralement avec un écart de 2 à 4 millimètres, et ce, afin de limiter la surépaisseur des plateaux ou de la paillasse de l'escalier au niveau de son pied ou de sa tête. En d'autres termes, avec le même moule inférieur, il devient possible de réaliser des escaliers avec différentes hauteurs de marche, en adaptant le capot supérieur.Due to the method of making a one-piece concrete staircase of the invention, cast in position, it is possible with the same lower mold (2) to be able to make stairs with a step height slightly different from the bottom of the mold, by choosing the appropriate covers (3) and (4). These variations in relation to the base height of the mold are generally established with a difference of 2 to 4 millimetres, in order to limit the extra thickness of the trays or the staircase bench at the level of its foot or its head. In other words, with the same lower mould, it becomes possible to make stairs with different step heights, by adapting the upper cover.
On a représenté, en relation avec la
En outre, dans le cadre de la réalisation d'un tel escalier à fût central, l'injection de béton s'effectue toujours au niveau inférieur, mais par le biais de la colonne destinée à constituer le fût central. A cet effet, les éléments définissant la colonne sont percés de lumières traversantes (9), permettant au béton subissant l'ascension au sein de la colonne, de venir se répartir dans le volume défini entre le capot supérieur et le moule inférieur, et ainsi réaliser et constituer les marches et contremarches de l'escalier souhaité. Ces lumières ont été schématisées sur les
On a illustré, au sein de la
Ces raidisseurs ont pour principale fonction de reprendre la poussée du béton résultant de l'injection, notamment au niveau inférieur. Cette poussée du béton s'exerce perpendiculairement à toutes les surfaces, et il peut s'avérer nécessaire de bloquer les efforts verticaux mais également horizontaux, afin d'éviter notamment une mise en rotation des capots lors de l'injection du béton.The main function of these stiffeners is to take up the thrust of the concrete resulting from the injection, in particular at the lower level. This thrust of the concrete is exerted perpendicular to all the surfaces, and it may prove necessary to block the vertical but also the horizontal forces, in order to avoid in particular a rotation of the cowls during the injection of the concrete.
Ces raidisseurs peuvent être constitués de barres de renforcement tubulaires, notamment de section transversale carrée, disposées sur le capot supérieur, à la verticale de chacune des contremarches, les diagonales des sections carrées étant orientées respectivement selon l'horizontale et selon la verticale. Les raidisseurs peuvent aussi résulter d'un assemblage de tôles pliés et soudés. Ces raidisseurs peuvent être fixés avec un bridage tige / écrou, au moyen d'un profilé encoché à cet effet, permettant une certaine souplesse dans le positionnement initial du capot, et l'inclinaison des profils à 45° permet une bonne reprise des efforts horizontaux et verticaux. Le serrage tend alors à positionner le capot en position optimale.These stiffeners may consist of tubular reinforcement bars, in particular of square cross-section, arranged on the upper cover, vertical to each of the risers, the diagonals of the square sections being oriented horizontally and vertically respectively. The stiffeners can also result from an assembly of folded and welded sheets. These stiffeners can be fixed with a rod / nut clamp, by means of a profile notched for this purpose, allowing a certain flexibility in the initial positioning of the cover, and the inclination of the profiles at 45° allows a good recovery of the horizontal forces and vertical. The tightening then tends to position the cover in the optimum position.
Il peut également être réalisé avec écrou et centreur, assurant une meilleure répétabilité que le système tige / écrou, mais en revanche moins tolérant aux écarts de positionnements initiaux.It can also be made with a nut and centering device, ensuring better repeatability than the rod/nut system, but on the other hand less tolerant of initial positioning deviations.
L'invention vise les escaliers en béton monoblocs coulés en position obtenus par le procédé de l'invention. Si les propriétés mécaniques de ces escaliers ne diffèrent pas ou peu des escaliers réalisés avec les procédés de réalisation traditionnels, en revanche ils présentent un état de finition très nettement amélioré, en raison de l'absence ou quasi-absence de micro-bullage venant éclater à la surface supérieure des marches, engendrant un gain considérable en termes de durée de réalisation.The invention relates to one-piece concrete stairs cast in position obtained by the method of the invention. If the mechanical properties of these stairs do not differ or little from the stairs made with traditional production processes, on the other hand they have a very clearly improved state of finish, due to the absence or quasi-absence of micro-bubbling coming from bursting. on the upper surface of the steps, resulting in a considerable gain in terms of construction time.
Parallèlement, en raison du mode de réalisation de ces escaliers, c'est-à-dire un moulage intégral (face inférieure et face supérieure), les conditions de réalisation de ces escaliers sont beaucoup plus confortables pour les opérateurs et, surtout, permettent une augmentation significative de la sécurité, puisqu'aussi bien, l'opérateur n'a plus à assurer l'étalage du béton en position précaire ou le lissage de celui-ci. Les éventuelles opérations ultimes de finition, lorsqu'elles peuvent s'avérer nécessaires, se font sur un escalier dont le béton a pris en masse donc durci, facilitant considérablement ces opérations.At the same time, due to the method of making these stairs, i.e. integral molding (lower face and upper face), the conditions for making these stairs are much more comfortable for the operators and, above all, allow significant increase in safety, since the operator no longer has to spread the concrete in a precarious position or smooth it. Any final finishing operations, when they may prove necessary, are carried out on a staircase whose concrete has solidified and therefore hardened, considerably facilitating these operations.
