1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein, that can be formed easily and economically in a built-up scheme by using ┐-shapes and steel plates, and a method for manufacturing the same that includes bonding a steel plate at the inner surface of ┐-shapes during a process of making a built-up type box-shaped steel column, thereby having good resistance against a lateral pressure of concrete filled in the steel column and preventing a bonded portion from being exposed to the outside thus to provide a better outer appearance.
2. Background of the Related Art
Generally, a CFT (Concrete Filled Tube) structure is formed by filling concrete at the inside of tubular steel columns, thereby having good advantages in the stiffness, yield strength, the capability of elongation, fire resistance, and construction thereof.
Typically, most of the tubular steel columns that are employed in the CFT structure are formed integrally or are finished with the steel plate assembled therewith. Such the tubular steel columns are customized and manufactured in large-sized factories where specific manufacturing equipment is prepared, which causes the production costs to be inevitably high. This also creates another problem in that the applicability of the CFT structure is somewhat restricted. Although the CFT structure has actually the advantages of the structural stability and construction capability thereof, it is generally adopted only for the construction of the low floors of high large-scaled buildings.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein, that can be formed easily and economically in a built-up scheme by using ┐-shapes and steel plates.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein, that includes bonding a steel plate at the inner surface of ┐-shapes during a process of making a built-up type box-shaped steel column, thereby having good resistance against a lateral pressure of concrete filled in the steel column and preventing a bonded portion from being exposed to the outside thus to provide a better outer appearance.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein and a method for manufacturing the same, that can be formed easily at a step of constructing the steel column at a construction site, thereby finishing the manufacturing of the steel column filled with concrete.
To accomplish the above objects, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein comprising: a ┐-shapes disposed at each of the four corners of the box-shaped steel column; and a steel plate disposed between the ┐-shapes adjacent to each other for connecting the ┐-shapes with each other.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a method for manufacturing a built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein, the method comprising the steps: (a) arranging two ┐-shapes spaced apart from each other, disposing a steel plate between the two ┐-shapes in such a manner as to abut against the inner surface of each of the two ┐-shapes, and bonding the steel plate to the two ┐-shapes on the inside thereof, to thereby form a first surface of the box-shaped steel column; (b) arranging two first built-up members (each built-up member made by bonding the steel plate between the two ┐-shapes) made at the step (a) in such a manner as to be spaced apart from each other in a facing relation with each other, to thereby form a second surface of the box-shaped steel column; (c) inserting the steel plate between the two first built-up members spaced apart from each other in such a manner as to abut against the inner surfaces of the two ┐-shapes of each of the two first built-up members, and then bonding the steel plate to the two ┐-shapes on the inside thereof, to thereby form a third surface of the box-shaped steel column; and (d) closing an opened one surface of the steel column with a steel plate in the same manner as the step (c), to thereby form a fourth surface of the box-shaped steel column.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
a to 8e are views showing the manufacturing steps of the built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein of
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The protrusions 121 and the embossed portions 122 are formed easily by means of roll forming at a molding process of a hot coil. At this time, the hot coil has a thickness of 0.8 mm or more, and each of the protrusions 121 has a height of 35 mm and has a distance of 150 mm from the adjacent protrusion 121 thereto. If the box-shaped steel column is to be made with the steel plate 120 on which the protrusions 121 and the embossed portions 122 are formed by means of the roll forming, the protrusions 121 and the embossed portions 122, which are formed on the bonded portion to the ┐-shapes 110 in the case where the steel plate 120 is bonded to the outer face of the ┐-shapes 110, as shown in
a to 8e are views showing the manufacturing steps of the built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein of
a shows a step (a) making a first built-up member 130, thereby completing the formation of a first surface of the steel column.
First, the two ┐-shapes 110 are arranged spaced apart from each other and the steel plate 120 is disposed between the two ┐-shapes 110 in such a manner as to abut against the inner surface of each of the two ┐-shapes. Then, the steel plate 120 is bonded to the two ┐-shapes on the inside thereof, thereby completing the formation of the first surface of the box-shaped steel column.
The steel plate 120 may have a size corresponding to a height of one-floor as shown in
More particularly, an opened space 150 where no steel plate (inclusive of the band type steel plate) is formed may be provided at a portion of the box-shaped steel column 100, which is prepared as a space used when steel beams SB are bonded to the box-shaped steel column 100 by means of bolts (see
b shows a step (b) arranging the first built-up member 130, thereby completing the formation of a second surface of the steel column.
The two first built-up members 130 (each built-up member made by bonding the steel plate 120 between the two ┐-shapes 110) made at the step (a) are arranged spaced apart from each other in a facing relation with each other, thereby completing the formation of the second surface of the box-shaped steel column 100.
c shows a step (c) bonding the steel plate 120 between the two first built-up members 130, thereby completing the formation of a third surface of the steel column.
The steel plate 120 is inserted between the two first built-up members spaced apart from each other in such a manner as to abut against the inner surfaces of the two ┐-shapes of each of the two first built-up members and bonding the steel plate to the two ┐-shapes on the inside thereof, thereby completing the formation of the third surface of the box-shaped steel column 100. This step is carried out for closing one surface (that is, the third surface) in a state where the two surfaces of the steel column have opened. In this case, since a fourth surface of the steel column is still opened, the inside bonding of the steel plate 120 is easily conducted, without any trouble. Of course, the band type steel plate 120a can be used at this step, and in the same manner as mentioned above, the steel plate is not provided in the panel zone.
d shows a step (d) completing the formation of the box-shaped steel column, thereby completing the formation of a fourth surface of the steel column.
The opened one surface (that is, the fourth surface) of the steel column is closed with the steel plate 120 in the same manner as the step (c). In this case, since the step (d) is conducted in a state where the three surfaces have already closed, the inside bonding of the steel plate 120 of the fourth surface of the steel column is conducted in somewhat hard way. At this time, especially, the band type steel plate 120a is adopted preferably for covering the fourth surface of the steel column. In the same manner as mentioned above, at this step the steel plate is not provided in the panel zone.
The steel column that is made through the steps (a) to (d) may be carried to the construction site for installation there, and it may be formed through the steps (a) to (d) just on the construction site.
e shows a step (e) bonding a band type steel plate 120b for the opened space 150 between the two first built-up members 130, thereby completing the closing of the opened space of the steel column.
In the case where the opened space 150 is formed such that the steel plate 120 is not provided in the panel zone at the steps (a) through (d), the opened space 150 should be closed after completing the first to fourth surfaces of the steel column. That is to say, in the case where the steps (a) to (d) are made by forming the opened space 150 in the panel zone for bonding the steel column to the steel beams SB, the opened space 150 has to be closed for filling concrete into the steel column 100 after completing the bonding between the steel column 100 and the steel beams SB (see
At the step (e) the band type steel plate 120b for the opened space 150 is prepared and inserted between the adjacent ┐-shapes 110 to each other in such a manner as to abut against the inner surfaces of the ┐-shapes 110. Then, the band type steel plate 120b for the opened space 150 is bonded to the ┐-shapes 110 on the outside thereof. Since this step is conducted to completely close the steel column 100, it is somewhat hard to bond the band type steel plate 120b on the inside thereof, such that at the state where the band type steel plate 120b is disposed at the inner surfaces of the ┐-shapes 110, it is bonded thereto on the outside thereof. At this time, a magnetic handle grip M serves to maintain the state where the band type steel plate 120b for the opened space 150 is disposed at the inner surfaces of the ┐-shapes 110 such that the bonding can be conducted well on the outside thereof.
The band type steel plate 120b for the opened space 150 may be used together with bonded steel bars 125 formed at outer both ends thereof, and each of the bonded steel bars 126 serves to reinforce the bonded portion between the band type steel plate 120b for the opened space 150 and the ┐-shapes 110, suppressing the movement in the left and right directions of the band type steel plate 120b for the opened space 150. In this case, the bonded steel bar 125 is bonded to the end portion of the ┐-shapes 110 by means of welding, thereby completing the bonding the band type steel plate 120b for the opened space 150 to the steel column 100.
The box-shaped steel column that is built up through the steps as mentioned above is filled with concrete, thereby having a CFT structure. More preferably, if the box-shaped steel column of this invention is applied together with a steel plate molding beam (made by molding a steel plate to make a closed shape and by filling concrete in the closed space), as shown in
As described above, according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein that can be formed easily and economically by using ┐-beams and steel plates, and a method for manufacturing the same that includes bonding a steel plate at the inner surface of ┐-shapes during a process of making a built-up type box-shaped steel column, thereby having good resistance against a lateral pressure of concrete filled in the steel column and preventing a bonded portion from being exposed to the outside thus to provide a better outer appearance.
Preferably, a typical steel column that is made of steel on the entire surfaces thereof is adopted for the low floor portions where large loads are applied in multi-floor buildings having a CFT structure, whereas the built-up type box-shaped steel column for filling concrete therein according to the present invention is adopted for the high floor portions where loads are relatively decreased.
While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims, and therefore, it is to be understood that other modifications and variations may be made without departing from the substance and scope of the present invention, as those skilled in the art will readily understand. Such alternate modifications and variations are within the scope of the present invention which is intended to be limited only by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
