Description

Reinforcement device for a structure reinforced floor.

The present invention relates to a reinforcing device for a reinforced floor structure. Such a structure acts as a retaining wall but is lighter than a concrete wall built in situ .

Prior art

In the civil work there are numerous circumstances in which it is necessary to make a wall of containment of land. Instead of building a concrete wall in situ , a light structure can be installed whose wall is formed by prefabricated elements that are attached to the rear floor, that is, to the ground to be contained, by reinforcement reinforcements that interact with the earth to reinforce it and to be fixed in it.

One such wall may be a trellis of metal mesh whose gaps are dwarfed by a net or a fabric suitable for the growth of vegetation. Other walls for Reinforced floor structure can be formed by plates concrete, wood, etc.

At one stage of the installation of one of said walls you have to extend the reinforcement reinforcement on a layer of back ground and cover them with a new layer of soil. Although reinforcement reinforcements will be subject by the own ground, before covering them it is convenient to anchor them on the ground to avoid being in a bad position once buried.

Description of the invention

An objective of the present invention is that of provide a reinforcing device for a structure of reinforced floor that is efficient and easy to install.

According to one aspect of the invention, said device comprises a reinforcement band, a lower rod, a top rod, and an anchor ring arranged between the lower rod and upper rod, so that the band of reinforcement is attached to the anchor ring by a final loop as a result of introducing said band at the bottom of the ring in front (or behind) it, pass the band through behind (or in front of) the lower rod, pass the band through in front (or behind) the upper rod, pass the band through behind (or in front of) the upper rod and the rod bottom, and remove the band from the ring by substantially the same site where it was introduced.

With this configuration, the device reinforcement allows to secure each end of the reinforcement band through a final loop of quick and easy execution. The terms "front" and "behind", used for the mutual arrangement of the band, the rods and the ring, are relative and can be substituted for each other. To terms "superior" and "inferior", used to distinguish the rods, do not give them a geometric meaning absolute, and we must understand that the lower rod is the one that is closer to the area of the ring through which the band enters or exits reinforcement

Normally the device will comprise at least two rings, to one of which the band of reinforcement forming a non-final loop, so that the band can continue to unfold towards another element of the structure. A ring in which the band forms a non-final loop can be called step ring while a ring in which one end of the band forms an end loop can be called final ring. Of all modes, in general it is preferable that all rings be same.

Each final ring has a pair of rods (one upper and one lower), so if there are two end rings the device will comprise two pairs of rods, one for each final ring.

In one embodiment, the two rods of at least a pair of rods are joined forming a fork.

In one embodiment, at least one of the rings Anchoring is a split rod ring in which they overlap two rod segments in an area of the remaining ring reinforced The ring can be attached to the ground using a staple anchor, and it is advantageous to place the clip in this reinforced area of the ring.

In one embodiment, at least one ring has a substantially triangular configuration, preferably with The rounded vertices.

The reinforcement band is preferably a polymeric band, but it can also be a flexible strap of Any suitable material.

Description of preferred embodiments

Figure 1 shows a panel 10 of metal mesh or mesh to form a wall of a structure of reinforced floor. The reinforcing device will be described according to the invention referring to this example of structure, but the device of the invention can be applied to structures with another type of walls formed with prefabricated elements.

Panel 10 comprises a plurality of rods horizontal and vertical electro-welded forming quadrilaterals 14, understanding horizontal direction the direction longitudinal of the mesh, that is, the direction of the side plus long, without implying any intermediate or final provision concrete

Two of the horizontal rods are a bar bottom 11 and a top bar 12 thicker than the others. He rest of horizontal rods and all vertical rods They are approximately the same thickness. Bars 11 and 12 are the of the ends of the mesh and fulfill a stiffening function of the mesh. The sides of each quadrilateral 14 of the mesh are approximately equal, although it is not essential that it be So.

Instead, or in addition, of stiffening bars, the panel may include longitudinal stiffening folds (not represented), which also serve to increase the stiffness of the mesh.

In figure 2 it is schematically represented a reinforced soil structure not finished building that use 10, 10 'mesh panels like those in figure 1. On the bottom panel 10 there is another panel 10 ', so that the bar lower stiffening of the upper panel 10 'is placed adjacent to the upper stiffening bar of the lower panel 10.

As shown in Figure 2, in use, the panels 10 (or 10 ') are held by reinforcement elements 20, 20 'that hug each stiffening bar and extend later to be buried under a land mass 30. The reinforcing element 20 'simultaneously hugs the lower bar of stiffening of the upper panel 10 'and the upper bar of stiffening of the lower panel 10, so that it holds Together both panels.

Figure 2 also shows a mantle of a erosion control material 25 placed just behind the 10, 10 'mesh panels, to prevent soil grains from getting escape through the quadrilaterals of the meshes, and a layer of a geotextile material 26 placed between the back ground 30 and a previous thickness of topsoil 31, which is therefore available between said geotextile material and erosion control material, to facilitate the greening of the wall.

Instead of being from topsoil, the part posterior adjacent to the wall could be formed by stones, in whose case between the back ground mass and these stones earlier there would not be a geotextile material but a cloth metallic

Figure 3 represents a horizontal plane in the that a reinforcing element 20 in the form of a continuous strip or strip It is arranged between an anterior panel 10 and some rings of ground anchor 21 and 22. The rings 21 are of step (the band passes through them and continues towards the panel) and the rings 22 are final (the end of the band takes hold in them), but both kinds of rings can be the same, and in fact it is preferably they are. The anchor rings are fixed to the ground by means of anchoring clips (not shown).

An embodiment of an anchor ring 21 (or 22). The ring has a configuration substantially triangular and the sides of the triangle are segments of a continuous metal rod. The vertices of the triangle are rounded. The anchor ring is a split ring in which two angular rod segments 26 and 27 overlap in the area of a vertex 25. Precisely this reinforced vertex is the one that attached to the ground by means of an anchor clip (no represented).

The band 20 is coupled to each step ring 21 formed a loop that enters behind the ring and exits through in front of her (or vice versa) in the opposite direction (figure 4). The band 20 is coupled analogously to panel 10, forming a series of loops surrounding one of its stiffening bars or folds coming in from behind and going out in front (or vice versa) in the direction opposite.

To secure one end of a band 20 in a end ring 22 you can use a fork 40 that is provided with a lower arm 41 and an upper arm 42. The term "lower" means that the lower arm is the one that is closer to the area of the ring through which the band.

As seen in Figure 6, the end of the band 20 is attached to the final ring 22 by a final loop to base of introducing said band in the lower part of the ring in front of the lower rod of the triangle, pass the band behind the lower arm 41 of the fork, pass the band through  in front of the upper arm 42, pass the band behind the arm upper and lower arm, and remove the band from the ring by the same site where it was introduced. Naturally the same operation can be carried out by changing positions relative "front" and "behind".

With band set 20, final ring 22 and fork 40 arranged in this way, by pulling the band 20 to tighten it (down in the representation of figure 6) the two arms 41 and 42 of the fork are pressed against the ring and frictionally fasten the band to the ring. The more you tense the greater band will be the friction between the band and the ring.

Instead of forming a fork, the arms 41 and 42 can be two separate rods.

The band 20 is preferably of a material polymeric

Although in the present report only represented and described particular embodiments of the invention, the person skilled in the art will know how to introduce modifications and replace some technical characteristics with equivalent ones, depending on the requirements of each case, without separating from the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.

For example, the anchor ring can be closed instead of being split.
