Abstract
A reinforcement element for absorbing forces of the concrete slabs to be supported in the area of support elements is formed from a longitudinally stable, flexible length element, its first end area being guided through a first flexural reinforcement layer of the concrete slab. The first area adjoining the first end area extends towards a second flexural reinforcement layer of the concrete slab at an acute angle α. The second area adjoining the first area is guided through the second flexural reinforcement layer and extends in the area of the support element along the surface of the second flexural reinforcement layer facing away from the support element. The second end area of the reinforcement element is guided through the second flexural reinforcement layer toward the first flexural reinforcement layer. This reinforcement element can be inserted into the concrete slab in many different ways according to the type of load.
Description
- The present invention relates to a reinforcement element for absorbing forces of concrete slabs in the area of support elements, in particular supports and bearing walls, such slab being equipped with a first flexural reinforcement layer, located adjacent to the support element, and a second flexural reinforcement layer, facing away from the support element, wherein each flexural reinforcement layer is formed essentially by longitudinally and laterally extending reinforcing bars, a number of reinforcement elements being inserted between such flexural reinforcement layers.
- Appropriate arrangements have to be made for concrete ceilings or foundation slabs that are supported by supports or on which supports are placed, in order to be able to introduce the supporting forces into the concrete ceilings or foundation slabs in an optimum manner. The shear and punching shear forces in particular must be absorbed, to which the concrete ceilings or foundation slabs are exposed.
- For absorbing and introducing these forces into the concrete slabs in the area of the support elements, different solutions have been proposed. One of these proposed solutions, for example, is to insert reinforcement cages as reinforcement elements into the concrete slabs in the area of supports, with such reinforcement cages comprising several juxtaposed U-shaped stirrups that are interconnected by means of cross bars. These reinforcement cages were then inserted in the upper and lower flexural reinforcement layers of the concrete slab and connected to such layers.
- These reinforcement cages take up quite a lot of space, storing them and transporting them to the construction site is therefore costly; in addition, loading for the corresponding concrete slabs is limited using such reinforcement cages.
- Also known are so-called steel shearheads, which are used in areas of the concrete slabs to be supported. These steel shearheads meet the requirements regarding loading very well, but their disadvantage is that they are very expensive.
- Also known are reinforcement elements formed out of reinforcing bars and that are equipped with a base bar with a bracket that is placed on the base bar and connected to it. These reinforcement elements, individually and in the required number, can be inserted into the area of the concrete slab to be supported between the upper and lower flexural reinforcement layer and connected therewith. A good introduction of the forces into the concrete slab is achieved with these reinforcement elements; however, their handling is still relatively costly, as these reinforcement elements have to be pre-fabricated.
- It is desirable to create a reinforcement element for absorbing the forces in concrete slabs in the area of support elements, which not only absorbs large loads but also can be manufactured simply and cheaply while its handling can be very flexible.
- According to an aspect of the invention, each reinforcement element is formed out of a longitudinally stable, flexible length element, wherein its first end area is guided through the first flexural reinforcement layer, the first area of such stable, flexible length element that is adjoining the first end area proceeding at an acute angle α towards the second flexural reinforcement layer, the second area that is adjoining the first area being guided through the second flexural reinforcement layer and proceeding, in the area of the support element, along the surface of the second flexural reinforcement layer, which is facing away from the support element, and the second end area of such stable, flexible length element being guided through the second flexural reinforcement layer towards the first flexural reinforcement layer.
- The longitudinally stable, flexible length element, through which the reinforcement elements are formed, can, for example, be brought to the construction site in a coil, the reinforcement elements can be uncoiled from this coil, and cut to the desired length; the required numbers of this longitudinally stable, flexible length element can then be easily laid between and through the first and second flexural reinforcement layer; the concrete slab that is reinforced in such a way can be supported in an optimum manner.
- Advantageously, the longitudinally stable, flexible length element has the form of a band, wherein its width is a multiple of its thickness and which can be cut to the desired length. This length element can be inserted into the flexural reinforcement layers in an optimum manner. This band, of course, can be formed from a plurality of individual strands, which can be arranged next to each other and/or one on top of the other. This band can also be formed from one individual strand, which has loops at the end areas and is laid on top of itself in multiple layers.
- Advantageously, several longitudinally and laterally extending reinforcement elements are each inserted into the concrete slab essentially parallel to the appropriate longitudinally and laterally extending reinforcing bars of the first flexural reinforcement layer and the second flexural reinforcement layer, wherein the number of the reinforcement elements depends on the loads to be absorbed and can be determined accordingly.
- An additional advantageous embodiment of an aspect of the invention is that the reinforcement elements are inserted into the concrete slab in multiple layers. Thus, the use of the reinforcement elements can be adapted in a very flexible way to the forces to be absorbed.
- An additional advantageous embodiment of an aspect of the invention is that the first and the second end areas and/or the first areas of the reinforcement elements, which are set in multilayers into the concrete slab, extending toward and away from one another, by which an optimum load distribution can be achieved, depending on the mode of application.
- Advantageously, the angle α is in the range of 20° to 50°, enabling an optimum transfer of the forces to be absorbed.
- An additional advantageous embodiment of an aspect of the invention is in that the longitudinally stable, flexible length element is formed out of carbon fibre reinforced plastics, by which the desired physical properties are achieved in an optimum manner.
- An additional advantageous embodiment of an aspect of the invention is in that the second end area is guided into the first flexural reinforcement layer in accordance with the first end area for middle support elements for the concrete slab to be supported. By means of the symmetric arrangement, the forces are introduced optimally into the concrete slab.
- The end areas of the reinforcement elements are each guided around at least one laterally extending reinforcing bar of the first flexural reinforcement layer, while the second area is guided across the appropriate laterally extending reinforcing bars of the second flexural reinforcement layer. This also results in an optimum introduction of the forces by means of the reinforcement elements to the flexural reinforcement layers.
- An additional advantageous embodiment of an aspect of the invention is in that the edge supports of the slab can be supported, the second end area is guided against the support element to the first flexural reinforcement layer. The longitudinally stable, flexible length element forming the reinforcement element is suitable in an optimum way for any application.
- The improvement of the anchoring of the end areas of the reinforcement elements in concrete slabs can be achieved in different ways: the end areas can be looped over several laterally extending reinforcing bars of the first flexural reinforcement layer; however, the end areas of the reinforcement elements can also be equipped with anchoring means serving as anchoring elements, adapted to the respective types of application.
- Advantageously, saddle elements are fitted on the laterally extending reinforcing bars around which the reinforcement elements are diverted, with such saddle elements protecting the reinforcement elements in these areas.
- An additional advantageous embodiment of an aspect of the invention is in that the reinforcement elements can be inserted in existing slabs in the area of support elements, for which drill holes can be applied to the slab to be reinforced, through which holes the respective reinforcement element can be inserted, and that the drill holes can be filled and the end areas can be held with anchoring elements. Existing constructions can thus also be reinforced in an optimum manner with the same reinforcement elements.
- In this case as well, in the area of the redirections of the reinforcement elements, saddle elements can be inserted into the drill holes, the reinforcement elements are supported on such saddle elements, by which means the reinforcement elements are protected from damage here as well.
- Embodiments and types of application of the reinforcement elements according to the invention are described in more detail based on the enclosed drawing.

FIG. 1 shows aconcrete slab 1, which serves as a ceiling of a building, for example. This concrete slab comprises in a known manner a firstflexural reinforcement layer 2, which is adjacent to thesupport elements 3 that are supporting theconcrete slab 1, as well as a secondflexural reinforcement layer 4, which is embedded in theconcrete slab 1 on the side facing away from thesupport elements 3. The firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 is formed in a known manner by longitudinally extendingreinforcing bars 5 and laterally extendingreinforcing bars 6; the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4 also comprises longitudinally extendingreinforcing bars 7 and laterally extendingreinforcing bars 8 in a known manner. Areinforcement element 9 according to the invention is inserted in the area of thesupport element 3 shown here. Thisreinforcement element 9 is formed from a longitudinally stable, flexible length element 10 having a high tensile strength and axial rigidity, but such longitudinally stable, flexible length element is flexible in the direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. This longitudinally stable, flexible length element 10 is shown in the embodiment example represented here as aband 11, wherein its width is a multiple of the thickness. This band comprises, for example, a carbon fibre reinforced plastic. Of course, other appropriate materials are conceivable, particularly if they have a high tensile strength and axial rigidity. Of course, forms other than that of a band can be used; a bundle of thinner, longitudinally stable, flexible elements having the desired properties would be conceivable as well. - The
reinforcement element 9 has afirst end area 12 that is guided through the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2. Here, thefirst end area 12 loops around a laterally extending reinforcingbar 6 of the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2; the adjoiningfirst area 13 leads away from this laterally extending reinforcingbar 6 at an angle α, which is in the range of 20° to 50°, and reaches the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4. In so doing, thefirst area 13 loops around a laterally extending reinforcingbar 8 of the second flexural reinforcement and ends at thesecond area 14. Thissecond area 14 extends essentially across the width ofsupport element 3 above the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4; it is then looped around a further laterally extending reinforcingbar 8 and ends at asecond end area 15, which is guided towards the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2. In the example shown here,reinforcement element 9 is symmetrically guided through theconcrete slab 1 relative to thesupport element 3; such an arrangement is carried out if thesupport element 3 has to support aconcrete slab 1, which extends past thissupport element 3 on both sides. Such areinforcement element 9 can be inserted very easily into the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4 prior to pouring the concrete slab; such aband 11 can, for example, be brought to the construction site in the form of a rolled-up coil; a portion of this band is uncoiled and cut to the desired length; the reinforcement element that is inserted into the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4 can be fixed; in addition, the ends of theend areas saddle elements 17 can be fitted in a known manner to these reinforcing bars, with such saddle elements being formed from plastics, for example. - After inserting these
reinforcement elements 9, the concrete can be poured. In the cured state of the concrete, the support forces are absorbed by thesereinforcement elements 9 in an optimum manner; in particular, these forces are dispersed optimally over a large area to the first flexural reinforcement layer as well, wherein these reinforcement elements are practically only subject to tension. -
FIG. 2 shows a view of the concrete slab 1 (represented by a dot-dash line), thesupport element 3 supportingconcrete slab 1, the first and second flexural reinforcement layers 2 and 4 that are inserted into the concrete slab, wherein of these, only the laterally extendingreinforcement bars reinforcement element 9 is inserted in the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and in the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4, wherein such reinforcement element is protected by and guided acrosssaddle elements 17 that are fitted to the reinforcing bars. -
FIG. 3 shows a three-dimensional representation of this embodiment. -
FIGS. 4 to 6 show the arrangement ofseveral reinforcement elements 9 in aconcrete slab 1 in the area of asupport element 3, by which the concrete slab is supported. The concrete slab is equipped with the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4, as described above. The firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 is formed by longitudinally extending reinforcingbars 5 and laterally extending reinforcingbars 6; the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4 comprises longitudinally extending reinforcingbars 7 and laterally extending reinforcingbars 8. In the embodiment example shown here, fourreinforcement elements 9 are laid across the laterally extending reinforcingbars flexural reinforcement layer 2 and the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4, and accordingly extend parallel to the longitudinally extending reinforcingbars reinforcement elements 9 are laid across the longitudinally extending reinforcingbars 5 of the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and across the longitudinally extending reinforcingbars 7 of the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4, and therefore extend parallel to the laterally extending reinforcingbars elements 17 are fitted to the reinforcingbars 5 to 8, across which thereinforcement elements 9 are diverted around the reinforcingbars 5 to 8. - Depending on the dimensions of
support 3 and the design of the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and of the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4, more orfewer reinforcement elements 9 can be used, depending on the loads to be absorbed. -
FIG. 7 shows an embodiment example of how thefirst end area 12 of areinforcement element 9 can be anchored in the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2. Thisfirst end area 12 can be woven around a number of laterally extending reinforcingbars 6 of the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2, as shown inFIG. 7 . Thus, after the concrete is poured, thefirst end area 12 of thereinforcement element 9 is held in the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2. -
FIG. 8 shows afirst end area 12 of areinforcement element 9, which is equipped on both sides with anadhesive layer 18 in a known manner, such adhesive layer serving as anchoring means 16. -

Thereinforcement element 9 can then be inserted in these drill holes 22; withsuch reinforcement element 9 can be anchored in a known manner using anchoring means 24 at the surface ofslab 21 that is facingsupport 23. It is of course conceivable that thisreinforcement element 9 be pre-tensioned in a known manner. - The left side of
FIG. 11 shows an embodiment in which thereinforcement element 9 is inserted in arecess 27, e.g. a milled slot, on the side ofslab 21 facing away fromsupport 23, while the right side ofFIG. 11 shows an embodiment in which the reinforcement element is resting on the surface ofslab 21 that is facing away fromsupport 23. - After inserting and optionally pre-tensioning the
reinforcement element 9 in the drill holes 22 and if applicable in therecess 27 ofslab 21, the drill holes 22 and if applicable therecess 27 can be poured in a known manner. - An optimum reinforcement of an existing structure is achieved by this design. Depending on the loads to be absorbed,
multiple reinforcement elements 9 can be inserted inslab 21 in the area ofsupport 23; it is also conceivable to place thosereinforcement elements 9 crosswise, in accordance with the embodiments according toFIGS. 4 to 6 . -

Thefirst end areas 12 also do not have to be parallel; they can be arranged so that they extend away from each other as well. - Of course, a larger number of
reinforcement elements 9 can be layered on top of each other, depending on the forces to be absorbed. Several adjacent reinforcement elements can also be executed in multilayers; the choices are practically unlimited. - The embodiment examples described above describe
reinforcement elements 9 and how they are used in the area ofsupport elements 3, which are arranged in the middle part of a concrete slab to be supported. As seen fromFIG. 13 , thesereinforcement elements 9 can also be used inedge support elements 25, which are supposed to support an edge area of aconcrete slab 1. Theseedge support elements 25 can be individual supports but can also be a support wall. Theconcrete slab 1 is again provided with a firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and a secondflexural reinforcement layer 4, which are connected in the edge area by means of flexural reinforcement bars 28. As described above, thereinforcement element 9 is inserted in the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4 on the slab proceeding fromsupport element 25. Thesecond end area 15 of thereinforcement element 9 is guided towards the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 by the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4; with suchsecond end area 15 can be laid around anintermediate bar 29 that is inserted between the firstflexural reinforcement layer 2 and the secondflexural reinforcement layer 4.
