Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a rigid connection structure between an upper precast concrete column and a lower precast concrete column and a rigid connection structure of a precast concrete beam using the same that improve a column-column connection and a column-beam connection, while performing moment connection, that is, rigid connection, in a dry construction method, thereby enhancing the constructability thereof to allow the rigid connection to be achieved only by the connection of reinforcing bars before concrete is cast on the connections.

Background of the Related Art

So as to ensure good constructability and reduce a construction period, recently, a precast concrete (hereinafter, referred to as “PC”) method has been increasingly adopted.
Examples of the conventional PC method include a method for simply mounting a PC beam onto a PC column and a method for unitarily casting a PC column and a PC beam.
The method for simply mounting the PC beam onto the PC column is one of methods widely used currently, which is capable of somewhat reducing the construction period, but since a column and beam connection in the method is made through simple jointing, a moment cannot be transferred in this method when a lateral force like an earthquake is applied. Accordingly, lateral force reinforcing means like shear walls, braces and so on should be additionally located, thereby failing to provide the advantages of the PC method planned for reducing the construction period and unavoidably increasing construction cost and period.
When the PC beam is simply mounted on the PC column, further, the escape of the column-beam connection may be generated to cause safety accidents. Accordingly, the structural instability in the column-beam connection may be undesirably generated, so that the method for simply mounting the PC beam onto the PC column is limited in the use in high-rise buildings.
In case of the method for unitarily casting the PC column and the PC beam, concrete is cast on a column-beam connection, so that the construction period may be delayed by concrete curing and the structural instability in the column-beam connection may be caused during the concrete curing, thereby being limited in the use in high-rise buildings.
So as to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the conventional PC method, recently, many studies on a PC method with moment connection have been made, but such PC method has complicated construction details, a low economic efficiency, and bad constructability, so that it is really hard to apply the PC method to high-rise buildings.
Accordingly, the inventor has proposed a moment resisting frame in a dry construction method, while removing the installation of additional lateral force reinforcing means such as shear walls (forms and wet construction method), braces and so on.
The present invention relates to a rigid connection structure between an upper PC column and a lower PC column and a rigid connection structure of a PC beam using the same wherein precast frame construction can be performed, thereby achieving the construction period and constructability similar to those required in steel frame construction, and only if even unskilled workers know a manual, safe and rapid construction can be ensured.
