PRESTRESSING APPARATUS Filed Dec. 5, 1958 s Sheets-Sheet a INVENTORS JAMES R. FIELDS BEN W. YOUNG ATTORNEY rates Our invention relates to a prestressing method and apparatus, and more particularly to such a prestressing method and apparatus that is of such a character that the use of a threaded anchor member is eliminated.
In the prestressing methods at present used for posttensioning the tension members in a concrete structure, the hydraulic jack or similar pulling means for tensioning the tension members is provided with an externally threaded member to which a coupling is applied that has screwthreaded means engaging said pulling member and which is screw-threadedly connected with an anchor member to which the ends of a plurality of tension members are secured. The provision of a screw-thread on the anchoring member, commonly referred to as a stressing washer, involves a machining operation that greatly increases the expense of such a stressing washer or anchoring member, and inasmuch as the stressing washer or anchoring member must be left in position in the concrete structure that is prestressed, the elimination of such screw-threads on the anchor member provides a considerable reduction in the cost of the anchoring member or stressing washer.
It is accordingly a purpose of our invention to utilize a method of prestressing a concrete structure in which the usual bearing plate or member is mounted in the concrete in the usual manner, the reinforcing members that are to be tensioned extending through openings therein, and to provide an anchor member, that is secured to the portions of the tension members extending outwardly beyond the bearing member or plate, that is detachably connected with a pulling member by means that is of such a character that the screw-threads that are necessary for connection with a coupling member are on a part that is separable from the anchor member after the pulling member has pulled the anchor member into such a position that the tension members connected therewith are stressed to the desired extent and after spacing members have been inserted between the anchor member or stressing washer and the bearing plate to maintain the tension members in their stressed condition.
More specifically our invention comprises the provision of a split ring-like member that is externally threaded for engagement with internal threads provided in an opening in the coupling member and which is interlocked with the anchor member or stressing washer in such a manner that the anchor member is held against movement relative to the split ring axially of the internally threaded opening away from the pulling member.
This is accomplished by providing inwardly projecting means on the split ring-like member providing a shoulder and a reduced portion on the anchor member or stressing washer that is also reduced to provide a shoulder thereon, so as to form a pair of shoulders on the split ring-like member and the anchor member that engage in such a manner as to prevent movement of the anchor member relative to the split ring-like member away from the pulling member during the pulling action exerted thereby. The reduced portion may be in the form of a groove or other reduction in the diameter of the anchor member or stressing washer so as to provide the shoulder thereon and the projection on the split ring-like member is preferably in the form of an inwardly projecting rib on the two portions of the split ring-like member providing an annular rib when the two portions of the split ring-like member are assembled in operative position.
ice
By providing this improved method of stressing the tension members and improved apparatus for tensioning the same and holding the same in stressed condition, all threaded parts are removed from the anchor member or stressing washer upon completion of the stressing of the tension members and may be re-used for the next stressing operation, thus avoiding the costs involved in utilizing stressing washers or anchor members that are provided with suitable threads for connection with a pulling means and which must remain in the concrete structure after it has been prestressed.
Other objects and advantages of our invention will appear as the description of the drawings proceeds. We desire to have it understood, however, that we do not intend to limit ourselves to the particular details shown or described, except as defined in the claims.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through the anchoring means for a plurality of tension members, showing a portion of the pulling means that is attached thereto and a fragmentary portion of the concrete structure that is to be prestressed, showing the parts in the position that the same have prior to stressing of the tension members, the section being taken on a plane corresponding .to the line 1-1 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1, showing the position of the parts after the prestressing of the tension members has been accomplished, the section being taken on a plane corresponding to the line "3-3 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary section taken on the line 4-4 FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 1 of a modification.
FIG. 6 is a section taken on the line 66 of FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is a greatly enlarged fragmentary view of a portion of the structure shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 8 is a similarly enlarged fragmentary view of a portion of the structure shown in FIG. 5, and
,FIG. 9 is a section taken on the line 9-9 of FIG. 1.
Referring in detail to the drawings, in FIGS. 1 to 4 and FIG. 7, is shown a plurality of tension members 10, which extend through openings 11 in a bearing plate 12 of steel, which is mounted in the concrete body portion 13 of the concrete structure that is to be prestressed. While a relatively small number of tension members 10 is shown in the drawings, obviously the number thereof may be varied as may be desirable, the number shown being merely for purposes of illustration. The tension members 10 are shown as being provided with heads 14 thereon that are seated against a flat face 15 of the anchor member or stressing washer 16, the other flat face 17 of said anchor member 16 lying adjacent the flat outer face 18 of the bearing plate 12 when the parts are in the position shown in FIG. 1.
Prior to the pouring of the concrete body portion 13 the parts 10, 12 and 16 are assembled in the position shown. When the concrete body portion 13 has set sufiiciently for prestressing the same by means of the tension members 10, the pulling member 19 of the tensioning apparatus, which ordinarily includes a hydraulic jack, is connected with the anchor member or stressing washer 16. Said pulling member is ordinarily provided with a threaded portion 20 and a coupling member 21 is provided that has an internally threaded bore 22 that screw-threadedly engages with the external threads 20 on the pulling member 19. In the embodiment of our invention shown in the drawings the coupling member 21 has a considerably larger opening than the threaded bore 22 therein, which is co-axial with the bore 22, and which is provided with internal screw-threads 23 providing a shoulder 24 in said coupling member between the threaded bore 22 and the internally threaded opening 23.
A split ring-like member 25 is provided with external threads 26 that engage the internally threaded portion 23 of the coupling member 21 and with an inwardly directed annular rib 27, which provides a shoulder 28 thereon that engages with a shoulder 29 provided by means of an annular groove 30 in the anchor member or stressing washer 16. It will be noted upon reference to FIG. 7 that the rib 27 is provided with an oblique face 31 to thus taper the same for more ready insertion into the groove 30. The two halves of the split ring 25 are preferably held in assembled relation after placing in position on the anchor member 16 for engagement of the screw-threaded coupling member 21 therewith by means of pins 32 projecting from one end of each of the halves of the split ring 25 and entering snugly an opening 33 in the other end of each of the halves of the split ring 25. Means is preferably provided for preventing relative rotation of the split ring 25 and the anchor member 16, such as the lug 39 projecting inwardly from the inner face of one of the halves of said split ring 25, between a pair of said heads 14.
In the assembly of the parts shown in FIG. 1 the split ring-like member 25 is placed in position on the anchor member 16, after which the coupling member 21 is screwthreadedly engaged therewith, said coupling member being either previously assembled with the pulling member 19 or then screw-threadedly engaged therewith. The hydraulic jack or other suitable means is then operated to move the pulling member 19 outwardly away from the bearing plate 12 to the position desired for applying the proper tension to the tension members 10, such as the position shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings. The shims or spacing members 34 are then inserted in position between the tension members 10 and between the flat face 17 of the anchor member 16 and the fiat face 18 of the bearing plate 12 so as to hold the anchor member 16 in the position to which it has been pulled and the tension members 10 under the desired tension. After this has been done the coupling 21 is disconnected from the pulling mem ber 19 and from the split ring 25, whereupon the split ring can be separated and removed from the anchor member 16, the anchor member remaining in position in the structure as shown in FIG. 3. Thus all the screwthreaded members that are expensive to make are removed from the structure that remains in position on the structural member and can be re-used for the next stressing operation.
Instead of providing heads 14 on the tension members for holding the same assembled with the anchor member 16, the tension members 10' shown in FIG. can be provided with wedging means 35, which are mounted in suitable tapering openings 36 in the anchor member 16', as shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 8, and said wed ging means may be provided with serrations or other roughening thereon, such as the ratchet teeth 37, in order to provide a suitable grip on the tension members Also it will be noted that in FIGS. 5 and 6 the reduced portion of the anchor member 16, instead of being shown in the form of a groove, is shown merely as a reduced end portion 38 providing the shoulder 29', serving the same purpose as the shoulder 29 previously described, and cooperating with the shoulder 28 on the rib 27 in the same manner as previously described. As the ends of the tension members 10' and portions of the wedges 35 project beyond the face of the anchor member 16' the lug 39 will engage between said projecting ends and wedges to prevent relative rotation of the anchor member 16' and split ring 25. The other parts of the form of the invention shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 8 are the same as that shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 inclusive, and FIG. 7, and the same reference numerals are applied to the parts in FIGS. 5, 6 and 8 that correspond to the parts shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 inclusive, and FIG. 7. The operation of the apparatus shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 8 in carrying out our improved method is the same as previously described in connection with the operation of the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 inclusive, and FIG. 7.
