Description

  The present invention relates to a joint used in a reinforcing device for enhancing the earthquake resistance of a viaduct or a concrete column (concrete member) of a bridge.

  In order to improve the earthquake resistance of reinforced concrete columns such as existing viaducts and bridges, the reinforcing device of Patent Document 1 has been developed. More specifically, linear fastening members composed of four screw rebars are arranged along the four sides of the outer periphery of the concrete column having a quadrangular section, and these end portions are arranged for each corner of the concrete column. It is connected to the angle joint using a nut. As a result, a quadrangular annular reinforcing device having four tightening members and four angle joints is assembled, and is arranged so as to surround the concrete column over the entire circumference. A large number of reinforcing devices are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the concrete column.

By tightening the nut, a tensile force is applied to the four tightening members, and each of the four angle joints presses the side surface near the corner of the concrete column.
In the event of an earthquake, when a large vertical compressive load is repeatedly applied to the concrete column, the reinforcing device prevents the compressive load from expanding the cross section of the concrete column, thereby preventing the concrete column from being destroyed.

Since the reinforcing device of the above-mentioned patent document 1 is constituted by a single hardware in which each angle joint has a right angle, it can only be applied to a concrete column having a square or rectangular cross section and a right angle portion.
If the reinforcement device of Patent Document 1 is applied to seismic reinforcement of a concrete column whose section is not square or rectangular, an angle joint must be manufactured according to the angle of the corner of the concrete column, and the manufacturing cost is low. it was high.

  In the reinforcing device of Patent Document 2, a joint arranged at each corner of a concrete column is composed of two hardwares connected to each other so as to be rotatable. Since this joint can change the angle of the first and second hardware corresponding to the angle of the corner of the concrete member, it can be applied to a concrete member of any cross-sectional shape. Cost can be suppressed.

  Next, the connection of the first hardware 10 and the second hardware 20 will be described in detail. From the state of FIG. 7, the first hardware 10 is brought close to the second hardware 20 as indicated by an arrow, and the convex portion 18 of the first hardware 10 is accommodated in the accommodating space 29 between the pair of convex portions 28 of the second hardware 20. . In this process, as shown in FIG. 8, the pair of shaft portions 19 of the first hardware 10 passes through the pair of guide recesses 28b of the second hardware 20, respectively, and reaches the pair of bearing recesses 28a. Further, the first hardware 10 is rotated with respect to the second hardware 20 so that both the hardware 10 and 20 are at right angles as shown in FIGS.

The dimensional relationship among the shaft portion 19, the bearing recess 28a, and the guide recess 28b will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
In order for the shaft portion 19 to be rotatably supported by the bearing recess 28a, the inner diameter D2 of the bearing recess 28a needs to be greater than or equal to the diameter D1y of the circumscribed circle of the cylindrical surface 19a of the shaft portion 19. In practice, the inner diameter D2 is larger than the circumscribed circle diameter D1y by a slight clearance.
In order for the shaft portion 19 to pass through the guide recess 28b, the width W of the guide recess 28b (the distance between the pair of flat surfaces of the guide recess 28b) is equal to or greater than the distance D1x between the flat surfaces 19b of the shaft portion 19. It is necessary. Actually, the width W is larger than the distance D1x by a slight clearance.

  Furthermore, in order to prevent the shaft portion 19 from coming out of the guide recess 28b in the state of FIG. 9, the width W of the guide recess 28b is less than the diameter D1y of the circumscribed circle of the cylindrical surface 19a of the shaft portion 19. is necessary.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 11, the end portion of the screw rebar 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 13 a of the first hardware 10 and the insertion hole 23 a of the second hardware 20 and protrudes into the housing recesses 16 and 26. . Nuts 31 and 32 are screwed into the end portions of the screw rebar 3 in the housing recesses 16 and 26.

  As shown in FIG. 11, a lock screw 35 is screwed into the screw hole 24 a formed in the end wall 24 of the second hardware 20. The lock screw 35 protrudes from the end wall 24 toward the accommodating space 29, and the tip of the lock screw 35 contacts the contact surface 18 a of the first hardware 10. A polygonal operation hole 35a (operation part) for inserting an L-shaped tool is formed on the rear end surface of the lock screw 35.

Next, the operation | work which mounts the said reinforcement apparatus 2 on the concrete pillar 1 which makes a cross-sectional square is demonstrated.
As described above, the joint 4 is assembled in advance by connecting the first hardware 10 and the second hardware 20 and screwing the lock screw 35 into the screw hole 24 a of the end wall 24 of the second hardware 20. A connecting pin is not required for connecting the hardware 10 and 20.

  At the lower end of the concrete pillar 1, the reinforcing device 2 is assembled. That is, four screw rebars 3 are arranged along the side surface of the concrete column 1, and four joints 4 are arranged at the corners of the concrete column 1.

  In each joint 4, the connected hardware parts 10 and 20 are formed at right angles, and the end parts of the adjacent screw reinforcing bars 3 are connected to the hardware objects 10 and 20, respectively. Specifically, as described above, the screw rebar 3 is inserted into the insertion holes 13a and 23a of the end walls 13 and 23 of the hardware 10 and 20, and the nuts 31 and 32 are screwed into the end portions.

As described above, the reinforcing device 2 is assembled in a substantially square ring shape so as to surround the concrete pillar 1 over one circumference, but its circumference is slightly larger than the outer circumference of the concrete pillar 1 and surrounds the concrete pillar 1 loosely. It is out.
At this time, the amount of protrusion of the lock screw 35 is adjusted so that the tip of the lock screw 35 contacts the contact surface 18a of the first hardware 10 in a state where the contact surfaces 12a22a of the two hardware 10 and 20 are at right angles. . Thereby, the two hardware 10 and 20 are maintained at a right angle, and further opening can be prevented.

  Next, the reinforcing device 2 is moved upward along the concrete pillar 1 to the mounting position, and at this mounting position, the nuts 31 in the four joints 4 are tightened to apply a tensile force to the screw rebar 3, and these joints 4. The contact surfaces 12a and 22a of the hardware 10 and 20 are pressed against the side surface 1a near the corner 1b of the concrete column 1. Further, the nut 32 is tightened to prevent the nut 31 from loosening.

  When the nut 31 is tightened, the second hardware 20 receives a moment in the clockwise direction in FIG. 11 with the intersection P2 between the side surface 1a and the surface 1c of the concrete pillar 1 as a fulcrum due to the load from the first hardware 10. Since the rotation axis L is shifted toward the contact surface 12a and close to the fulcrum P2, this moment can be suppressed. Similarly, the first hardware 10 receives a moment in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 11 with the intersection P1 between the side surface 1a and the surface 1c of the concrete column 1 as a fulcrum by the load from the second hardware 20, but the rotation axis L is This moment can be suppressed because it shifts toward the contact surface 22a and is close to the fulcrum P1.

Further, the first hardware 10 and the second hardware 20 are prohibited from opening by 90 ° or more by the lock screw 35, and the hardware 10 and 20 are prohibited from rotating independently.
As described above, since the moment acting on the hardware 10, 20 is suppressed and the opening of the hardware 10, 20 is prohibited, the metal 10, 20 can be stably secured in the corner of the concrete column 1 in the tightening operation of the screw rebar 3. It can be held in the part 1b.

As shown in FIG. 10, the nuts 31 and 32 are tightened by inserting a spanner 50 (tool) into the housing recesses 16 and 26 of the hardware 20.
Since the cross-sectional shape of the insertion holes 13a and 23a is oval, and the screw rebar 3 having an oval cross section is inserted with a slight clearance and is prevented from rotating, it is necessary to apply a spanner to the screw rebar 3 to prevent rotation. No need to tighten nuts. The cross-sectional shapes of the insertion holes 13a and 23a can be applied to all types of joints in a concrete member reinforcing apparatus using screw rebars.

  As described above, the reinforcing devices 2 are attached in order from the top, and the seismic reinforcement structure as shown in FIG. 1 is completed. If necessary, the reinforcing device 2 may be fixed to the concrete pillar 1 by driving concrete nails or screws into the concrete pillar from the through holes 12a and 22a of the hardware 10 and 20.

  In the seismic reinforcement structure, when the hardware 10 and 20 of each reinforcement device 2 presses the side surface 1a in the vicinity of the corner 1b of the concrete column 1 and an axial compressive load is applied to the concrete column 1 during an earthquake, The cross section can be prevented from expanding and the concrete pillar 1 can be prevented from being destroyed.

  By prohibiting the hardware 10 and 20 from opening by the lock screw 35, the resistance against the swelling of the cross section of the concrete column 1 can be further increased, and the destruction of the concrete column 1 can be prevented more reliably.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, since the guide recess 28b of the second hardware 20 opens on the opposite side to the contact surface 22a, the portion where the load from the first hardware 10 should be borne in the second projection 28 is as follows. The guide recess 28b is not damaged and can withstand a large load.
Further, since the shaft portion 19 of the first hardware 10 is inclined with respect to the contact surface 12a, when the first hardware 10 and the second hardware 20 are at right angles as shown in FIG. 11, or FIG. As shown in A) and (B), when an acute angle or an obtuse angle is obtained within a predetermined range, a load can be borne on the contact portion between the cylindrical surface 19a of the shaft portion 19 and the inner periphery of the bearing recess 28a. Can withstand large loads.

The reinforcing device 2 of the present invention can be used not only for reinforcing a square concrete column 1 in which four corners form a right angle but also for reinforcing a non-square concrete column. Hereinafter, an example will be described.
In the concrete column 1 ′ shown in FIG. 12, the upper left corner and the lower left corner form a right angle in the figure, but the upper right corner forms an acute angle and the lower right corner forms an obtuse angle.

  In the corner portion 1b forming the obtuse angle of the concrete column 1 ′, as shown in FIG. 13 (A), the angle of the first metal piece 10 and the second metal piece 20 of the joint 4 is made obtuse corresponding to this corner portion. The contact surfaces 12a, 22a can be brought into surface contact with the side surface 1a of the concrete column 1, and the screw rebar 3 can be arranged along the side surface 1a of the concrete 1 '. In this case, the amount of protrusion of the lock screw 35 is reduced so that the tip of the lock screw 35 contacts the contact surface 18a of the first hardware 10 in a state where the hardware 10 and 20 have an obtuse angle.

  In the corner 1b forming the acute angle of the concrete column 1 ', as shown in FIG. 13 (B), the angle of the first hardware 10 and the second hardware 20 of the joint 4 is made acute corresponding to this corner. The abutment surfaces 12a and 22a can be brought into surface contact with the side surface of the concrete column 1, and the screw rebar 3 can be disposed along the side surface 1a of the concrete 1 '. In this case, the protruding amount of the lock screw 35 is increased so that the tip of the lock screw 35 contacts the contact surface 18a of the first hardware 10 in a state where the hardware 10 and 20 form an acute angle.

  The concrete column 1 ′ in FIG. 12 has two angles at right angles, but it can be easily understood that the joint 4 can also be applied to seismic reinforcement of concrete columns at which all angles are not right angles.

  As described above, the joint 4 having the same structure can be used regardless of the angle of the corner portion of the concrete column 1, so that the manufacturing cost of the joint 4 can be suppressed, and the cost of the reinforcing device 2 can be suppressed. be able to.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, components corresponding to those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and will be described in detail. In this embodiment, the connecting pin 50, which is separate from the first hardware 10 and the second hardware 20, penetrates the convex portion 18 of the first hardware 10 and the convex portion 28 of the second hardware 20, so that the hardware 10 , 20 are rotatably connected.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various forms can be adopted.
The joint of the present invention may be disposed at at least one corner of the concrete column, and another joint may be disposed at the other corner. For example, in the case of the concrete pillar 1 ′ having the cross-sectional shape of FIG. 12, the screw rebar 3 may be connected to the right-angled corner portion 1 b using a right-angle joint made of a single hardware as in Patent Document 1.

The middle part of the screw rebar may be bent into a letter shape or L shape in accordance with the angle of the corner of the concrete member, and the bent part may be supported by an angle metal having a U-shaped cross section having the same angle as the corner. In this case, one end portion or both end portions of the screw rebar are connected to the joint of the present invention.
One end of the tightening member may be connected to the joint by other connecting means (large diameter portion locking, welding, etc.) without depending on the nut.

As the tightening member, not only a screw rebar in which a screw node is formed on the outer periphery over the entire length by rolling, but also a member in which a mechanical screw is formed at one end or both ends may be used.
The concrete pillar may be a polygon other than a rectangular cross section.
The concrete member to be reinforced is not limited to a vertically extending member such as a pillar, but may be a horizontally extending member.

  The present invention can be used for seismic reinforcement of reinforced concrete columns of viaducts and bridges.
