Definitions

  • This invention relates to repair and strengthening vertical columns, and more particularly repairing and strengthening vertical columns using laminates.
  • a large number of steel, concrete or wooden piles are used along the coastlines to support structural members such as piers and docks. These elements are subjected to dry-wet cycles which over time cause significant deterioration. Salt water and other chemicals also attack these structures causing further deterioration.
  • off-shore structures are commonly supported on steel tubes. These steel tubes also suffer from corrosion damage in sea water. It is recognized that the splash zone region which consists of a portion of the pier several feet above and below the waterline is where most of the damage is concentrated.
  • the common problems with the prior art systems are many, including: (1) They require a metallic screw or band that may later corrode; (2) The filler can leak out of the vertical gaps; thus filler cannot be pressurized; (3) The vertical seams introduce a line of weakness in the system and if one tries to pressurize the filler inside the jacket, the jacket will burst at the seams; (4) Different size jackets are needed for different size piles or columns, making it difficult for contractors that have to stock various sizes in advance; (5) Little additional strength is provided by the jacket since it cannot be pressurized; (6) The inability to pressurize means that some of the voids and crevices in the deteriorated pile do not get completely filled; thus water can penetrate into the structure and deterioration may continue; (7) Installation is time consuming. Therefore, there is a need for a device that overcomes all of these shortcomings. The present invention accomplishes these objectives.
  • the present invention is a method for strengthening a vertical column, such as piles for piers and docks and columns in bridges and buildings.
  • the method can be used for a variety of column materials, such as steel, concrete or wood and for a variety of column shapes such as round, square and rectangular columns.
  • a coiled Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) laminate is provided.
  • the laminate is wrapped in a helical fashion around the column, with the laminate overlapping itself by an overlap distance.
  • An epoxy resin coating is applied between the overlapping portions of the laminate.
  • FRP Fiber Reinforced Polymer
  • the epoxy resin will then cure to form a shell having a lower end and an upper end, the shell being substantially water tight.
  • a plurality of sealing means is provided between the lower end and the upper end of the shell and the column.
  • the space between the shell and the column is then filled with a filler material.
  • the space between the shell and the column is filled with a filler material under pressure until the filler material is substantially cured.
  • the space between the shell and the column is filled with an expanding filler material.
  • the coiled FRP laminate is provided having an adhesive strip substantially along one edge thereof.
  • the adhesive strip is covered with a removable liner. The liner is removed to expose the adhesive strip between the overlapping portions of the laminate.
  • an upper end of the laminate is secured to itself with an attachment means.
  • the attachment means may be a temporary wrapping means and a band of unidirectional fiber fabric saturated with the epoxy resin and wrapped around each end of the laminate.
  • the coiled FRP laminate is provided and a plurality of spacers are fixed to the column and adapted to hold the laminate a set distance away from the column.
  • a plurality of rigid strengthening rods is added between the column and the shell after the epoxy resin has cured to further strengthen the column.
  • the present invention is a method for strengthening a vertical column that does not require a metallic screw or band that may corrode.
  • This method avoids creating vertical gaps from where filler can leak and thus provides the benefit being able to pressurize the filler. Also, the method avoids the problems of a jacket bursting along vertical seams. Further, the invention avoids the need for different size jackets for different size piles or columns, avoiding the problem of contractors needing to stock various sizes in advance.
  • the ability to pressurize the filler provides additional strength to the vertical column. Moreover the ability to pressurize means that the filler can fill the voids and crevices in the column; thus avoiding further deterioration from water penetrating into the column. Also, this method avoids the time consuming installation process of the prior art.

  • an epoxy resin 14 is used that is curable when submerged in water.
  • One of the ways to install the shell 30 around a pile 6 in water 80 is that after getting a couple of turns of the laminate 12 wrapped around the column 10 above the waterline 85, then the partially completed shell 30 can be pushed into the water 30 and allow the epoxy resin 14 to cure in the water 80. This process of building a couple of turns and pushing the shell 30 further into the water 80 will continue until the entire shell 30 is constructed. This has a major advantage that eliminates the need for costly divers.
  • a diver (not shown) may be used, if desired, to fix the sealing means 15 at the lower end of the shell 30 in the water 80.
  • the sealing means 15 can be attached to the lower end of the shell 30 before being pushed into water 80. In this way, when the shell 30 is completed, the sealing means 15 is in place and there is no need for using a diver.
  • the overlap distance X is determined based on engineering calculations and a determination of the required thickness of the shell 30. For example, if we require a minimum shell thickness of two times the thickness of the laminate 12, then the overlap distance X will be at least one half of the laminate width W.
  • the laminate 12 has a tendency to remain flat, the starting point of the laminate 12 shown as the lower portion of the shell 30 is tucked under the next full wrap so it is forced to stay in the coiled position and cannot become flat.
  • the subsequent wraps are temporarily held in contact with the aid of the epoxy resin 14 until the last wrap of the laminate 12 (the last turn) which will not want to remain in the coiled position. This last wrap is temporarily held in position with the temporary wrapping means 52 such as duct tape 34 (FIG. 2), a tied rope, steel strap, or other devices (not shown) while a more permanent solution is provided.
  • the permanent part of the attachment means 50 could for example be a band of a unidirectional glass or carbon fiber fabric 54 such as VU18C supplied by Quake Wrap, Inc., having a width Z (FIG. 2) and being saturated with an epoxy resin such as QuakeBondTM J300SR, for example.
  • the band of fiber fabric 54 is wrapped a few times in a circular ring around the most top portion of the shell 30 in an overlapping manner to produce an FRP shell 30 a few layers thick with excellent strength and corrosion resistant properties. Once this wet band 54 cures we have a solid single piece, an extremely strong shell 30 sitting loosely around the column 10 which, unlike other products, has no seams along the vertical sides.
  • the edges of the laminate 12 that extend at the beginning and end of the laminate 12 can be trimmed with a saw along lines 18 (FIGS. 1 and 2), resulting in a substantially cylindrical shell 30.
  • This shell 30 can now be lowered into water 80 such that it covers the entire height of the damaged splash zone 87 at the waterline 85 or any part of the pile 6 that requires repair.
  • the bottom opening must be closed; this can be done for example by using the sealing means 15, such as a rubber tube 17 placed in the annular space and inflated with air to provide a tight seal at the bottom.
  • the filler material 20 will be placed into the annular space; this can be done by pouring the filler material 20 from the top or by placing small tubes like PVC pipe or copper tubing (not shown) inside the annular space in a vertical orientation and then introducing the filler material 20 into the pipes from the top and gradually lift up the pipes as the filler material 20 is added to the bottom of the annular space.
  • the filler material 20 also forces the water 80 that is trapped at the bottom of the annular space to come up to the top and ultimately spill over when using filler material 20 that is heavier than water 80.
  • the water 80 can be pumped out of the annular space.
  • the entire annular space is filled with filler material 20 and the top of the shell 30 can be sealed similar to the bottom with an inflated tube 17, for example.
  • the filler material 20 in the annular space is pressurized with air or other systems commonly known to those skilled in the art. This will cause the filler material 20 to fill voids in the damaged pile 6 and also place the shell 30 under hoop stresses, also known as providing active confinement for the column 10.
  • the filler material 20 could be of the expansive type so that once placed, the filler material 20 will expand and this expansion will place tension (hoop stresses) in the shell 30.
  • the shell 30 constructed according to this invention is strong and cylindrical with no vertical seams allowing the filler material 20 to be pressurized significantly, forcing the filler material 20 to penetrate the voids and crevices in the damaged column 10.
  • the shell 30 is resistant to corrosion and serves as a protective layer that will prevent oxygen or water to penetrate in and reach the pile 6. As it is commonly known, oxygen is necessary as a fuel for the corrosion process to continue and the shell 30 will substantially prevent the flow of oxygen to the column 10.
  • the laminate 12 that are manufactured can be coated with the adhesive strip 40 such as a glue or epoxy on the face which is to be overlapped to form the shell 30 (e.g., one half of the width of the laminate 12 on one face).
  • This area is the same area where previously described as being coated with J201TC tack coat epoxy.
  • the area that is coated with adhesive strip 40 is protected with removable liner 45, such as a nonstick paper for example. In the field, during installation, the removable liner 45 is removed, exposing the adhesive strip 40 that would be bonded to the rest of the laminate 12 to form the continuous cylinder-like shell 30.
  • the method has many other useful applications and embodiments, such as application to columns 10 in bridges and buildings (not shown) and to utility poles (not shown).
  • the shell 30 can be made by either starting the wrapping from bottom of the column 10 to the top or vice versa.
  • the laminate 12 is wrapped around the column 10 using spacers 13 to form the solid shell 30 around the column and an annular space between the shell 30 and the column 10. Then the annular space is filled with the filler material 20.
  • the filler material 20 can be of a much stronger material than the original column 10.
  • the axial load carrying capacity of the new column 10 will be further enhanced by the presence of this outer shell 30 constructed using higher strength filler material 20.
  • multiple layers of fabric (not shown) are used to "build up" a thicker final laminate 12 in the field.
  • the laminate 12 can be constructed with two or more layers (plies) of fabric placed on top of one another, resulting in an even stronger laminate 12.
  • One layer of such laminate 12 may be sufficient to strengthen the column 10; in other words, one layer of such laminate 12 can replace two or more layers of fabrics that would have been applied by the prior art wet layup method.
  • the FRP laminate 12 can be wrapped around the square column 10 either using the spacer 13 to increase the column size or by allowing the FRP laminate 12 to touch the column 10 at the four corners, illustrated in FIG. 5. Then the annular space between the shell 30 and the square column 10 can be filled with the filler material 20. This is much easier and more economical than the prior art. Moreover, if desired the filler material 20 can be pressurized at the same time that it is being placed, further increasing the strength and stiffness of the square host column 10.
  • Additional applications of the method include using the method on steel columns 10, as illustrated in FIG. 6A.
  • Steel columns 10 are also easily subject to corrosion and deterioration.
  • the steel column 10 is first cleaned of any rust and the column 10 can be coated with corrosion inhibitor coatings (not shown). Then, similar to the procedures described above, the laminate 12 will be wrapped around the column 10 to form the strong structural shell 30.
  • spacers 13 can also be included along the height of the column 10 to allow the solid shell 30 to be larger than the steel column 10 and to prevent touching of the shell 30 and the steel column 10, as illustrated in FIG. 6B. If the shell 30 is made of carbon fabric, spacers 13 are preferred because when steel and carbon come in contact, galvanic corrosion takes place.
  • the bottom portion of the gap between the shell 30 and steel column 10 is sealed and the filler material 20 is placed in the annular space between the steel column 10 and the shell 30.
  • the filler material 20 will preferably be a non- shrink or expansive high strength and high modulus grout or concrete which will add significant load carrying capacity to the steel column 10.
  • the top portion of it can be sealed and the filler material 20 can be pressurized to place the shell 30 in tension in the hoop direction.
  • This method will not only increase the axial load capacity of the column 10 by the fact that the newly introduced filler material 20 can take a lot of compressive load, it will also increase the slenderness ratio for the steel column 10, thereby increasing the buckling load of the column 10 significantly.
  • carbon FRP laminates such as QuakeWrap's DU50C are bonded with an epoxy such as QuakeBond J201TC to the flanges of the steel column 10 and then the column 10 is wrapped in the FRP shell 30 and the annular space filled with the filler material 20 and if needed, pressurized.
  • rigid strengthening rods 60 such as steel or nonmetallic reinforcing bars, are placed parallel to the axis of the column 10 (i.e. vertically) and then the FRP shell 30 is constructed around the column 10 and the strengthening rods 60. Then the annular space is filled with the filler material 20 and if needed, pressurized.

Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un procédé de renforcement d'une colonne verticale, telle que des piliers sous des jetées et des bassins, et pour des colonnes dans des ponts et des bâtiments. Un stratifié en matière plastique renforcée par des fibres enroulé est disposé et enroulé de façon hélicoïdale autour de la colonne, le stratifié se chevauchant lui-même. Un revêtement de résine époxy est appliqué entre les parties chevauchées. La résine époxy durcira ensuite de façon à former une enveloppe sensiblement étanche vis-à-vis de l'eau. Une pluralité d'éléments d'espacement peuvent être fixés à la colonne et adaptés de façon à maintenir le stratifié éloigné d'une distance définie vis-à-vis de la colonne. Une pluralité de moyens d'étanchéité sont disposés de façon à sceller hermétiquement l'espace entre l'enveloppe et la colonne.
