The present invention relates to a combination structure of permanent forms and a prefabricated steel assembly for a steel concrete composite member that is capable of easily combining the permanent forms with the prefabricated steel assembly, irrespective of positions of support bars connecting shape steel members of the prefabricated steel assembly.
A form is a structure temporarily installed to build concrete having fluidity to a given shape and a given size during a short period of time in which the concrete is cured to some degree, and formwork is necessarily needed in a concrete structure like a reinforced concrete structure, a steel framed reinforced concrete structure, and so on.
Basically, the form includes a form panel for forming a concrete surface and support frames for supporting the form panel to maintain stiffness of the form, and during the formwork, further, temporary supports are needed to support the form.
Accordingly, a great number of materials for the formwork are required, and in addition, a lot of time and cost for assembling and disassembling forms or supports have been consumed.
In case of a big-sized structure, particularly, works for installing or removing temporary materials are carried out at high altitudes, so that there is a big possibility that safety accidents of workers may occur, and further, a construction cost may increase due to lots of temporary materials.
In the conventional formwork, also, a release agent is applied to the panel surface of the form to remove the form from concrete, thereby undesirably causing environmental pollution.
After the removal of the form, in addition, separate concrete surface grinding has to be inconveniently carried out.
So as to solve the problems occurring in the conventional formwork, as shown in
However, the positions of the horizontal support members for coupling the forms should be accurately recognized, and also, the self drilling screws have to be fastened one by one, thereby undesirably requiring lots of time for attaching the forms to the horizontal support members. Besides, concrete paste may leak from portions of the self drilling screws to the outside.
Another conventional technology as shown in
However, the deck form has to be moved to the upper side of a member from the lower side thereof, thereby needing a spare space for building the deck form on the lowermost portion of the member. Accordingly, the lower portion of the member should be finished inconveniently with a separate form. Besides, positions of first fixing bars as horizontal support members have to accurately correspond to positions of second fixing bars coupled to the deck form, thereby requiring high accuracy in making the member.
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 combination structure of permanent forms and a prefabricated steel assembly for a steel concrete composite member that is capable of easily combining the permanent forms with the prefabricated steel assembly, irrespective of positions of support bars connecting shape steel members of the prefabricated steel assembly.
To accomplish the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, there is provided a combination structure of permanent forms and a prefabricated steel assembly for a steel concrete composite member, the combination structure including: the prefabricated steel assembly adapted to build the steel concrete composite member and having a plurality of shape steel members disposed on corners of the steel concrete composite member in such a manner as to be internally spaced apart from the steel concrete composite member and a plurality of support bars coupled to outer surfaces of the shape steel members to connect the neighboring shape steel members, each support bar having a ‘L’-shaped section to allow one side leg to be fixedly coupled to the shape steel members; and each permanent form having a flat plate adapted to build an outer surface of the steel concrete composite member, protrusions having ‘L’-shaped sections in such a manner as to protrude longitudinally from the inner surface of the flat plate, a bent corner portion bent vertically from one side end of the flat plate toward the neighboring member surface, and an outer protrusion having a ‘L’-shaped section, protruding longitudinally from the inner end of the bent corner portion, and laid on top of a protrusion formed on an outermost position of the permanent form coupled to the neighboring member surface, wherein each support bar has the other side leg having ‘L’-shaped locking holes whose inlets are larger than widths of the protrusions so as to insertedly lock the protrusions thereinto.
According to the present invention, desirably, the other side leg of each support bar has an extended support extended from one end thereof toward the bent corner portion in such a manner as to be inserted into the inside of the corresponding protrusion so as to support the corresponding protrusion.
According to the present invention, desirably, corner stiffeners are coupled to the inside of the bent corner portion.
According to the present invention, desirably, each corner stiffener has a first extended portion extended from a protrusion side end portion thereof in such a manner as to surround the protrusion and a second extended portion extended from an outer protrusion side end portion thereof in such a manner as to be inserted into the inside of the outer protrusion.
According to the present invention, desirably, each corner stiffener has support wings bent vertically from sides coming into contact with the bent corner portion in such a manner as to be supported against the surfaces of the bent corner portion.
According to the present invention, the combination structure has the following advantages.
Firstly, the permanent forms are coupled to the prefabricated steel assembly, thereby greatly reducing time and costs required to construct and deconstruct the forms.
Secondly, the permanent forms are supported against the shape steel members by means of the support bars located inside the member, thereby requiring no separate temporary supports for supporting the permanent forms.
Thirdly, the support bars serve as the support frames for the permanent forms, so that thicknesses of the forms can be minimized, which gives an economical advantage, and further, the permanent forms can be more lightweight than the existing forms, thereby being easily handled by a worker.
Fourthly, the protrusions formed in the longitudinal direction of the member on the inner surface of the permanent form are inserted into the locking holes of the support bars of the prefabricated steel assembly, and next, the permanent form is slidingly moved in the transverse direction of the member and is thus locked onto the locking holes of the support bars, so that the permanent form can be rapidly and easily coupled to the prefabricated steel assembly, irrespective of the positions of the support bars, and moreover, there is no need to form any spare space on the end portion of the member to insert the permanent form.
Lastly, the bent corner portion is extended unitarily from the permanent form of the member surface on the corner of the member, and the bonding portion of the permanent form to the neighboring permanent form is moved to the member surface, so that the permanent form can be stably resistant to the lateral pressure on the corner thereof.
To accomplish the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, there is provided a combination structure of permanent forms and a prefabricated steel assembly for a steel concrete composite member, the combination structure including: the prefabricated steel assembly adapted to build the steel concrete composite member and having a plurality of shape steel members disposed on corners of the steel concrete composite member in such a manner as to be internally spaced apart from the steel concrete composite member and a plurality of support bars coupled to outer surfaces of the shape steel members to connect the neighboring shape steel members, each support bar having a ‘L’-shaped section to allow one side leg to be fixedly coupled to the shape steel members; and each permanent form having a flat plate adapted to build an outer surface of the steel concrete composite member, protrusions having ‘L’-shaped sections in such a manner as to protrude longitudinally from the inner surface of the flat plate, a bent corner portion bent vertically from one side end of the flat plate toward the neighboring member surface, and an outer protrusion having a ‘L’-shaped section, protruding longitudinally from the inner end of the bent corner portion, and laid on top of a protrusion formed on an outermost position of the permanent form coupled to the neighboring member surface, wherein each support bar has the other side leg having ‘L’-shaped locking holes whose inlets are larger than widths of the protrusions so as to insertedly lock the protrusions thereinto.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be in detail explained with reference to the attached drawing.
As shown in
According to the present invention, each permanent form 3 includes a flat plate 31 adapted to build an outer surface of the steel concrete composite member, protrusions 32 having ‘L’-shaped sections in such a manner as to protrude longitudinally from the inner surface of the flat plate 31, a bent corner portion 33 bent vertically from one side end of the flat plate 31 toward the neighboring member surface, and an outer protrusion 34 having a ‘L’-shaped section, protruding longitudinally from the inner end of the bent corner portion 33, and laid on top of a protrusion 32′ formed on an outermost position of a permanent form 3′ coupled to the neighboring member surface, and each support bar 2 has the other side leg 22 having ‘L’-shaped locking holes 221 whose inlets are larger than widths of the protrusions 32 so as to insertedly lock the protrusions 32 thereinto.
The prefabricated steel assembly can be in advance made in a factory so as to build the steel concrete composite member like a column, a girder and so on.
The prefabricated steel assembly includes the shape steel members 1 disposed on corners of the steel concrete composite member in such a manner as to be internally spaced apart from the surfaces of the steel concrete composite member and the support bars 2 coupled transversely to outer surfaces of the shape steel members 1 to transversely connect the neighboring shape steel members 1.
The support bars 2 are directly coupled to the permanent form 3 and are spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the member.
Each support bar 2 has a ‘L’-shaped section and includes one side leg 21 fixed to the shape steel members 1 by means of rivets, bolts, welding, and so on and the other side leg 22 located toward the outside of the member.
The other side leg 22 of the support bar 2 has the ‘L’-shaped locking holes 221 formed on the outer end thereof.
The locking holes 221 are portions where the ‘L’-shaped protrusions 32 of the permanent form 3 are locked.
The locking holes 221 are spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the support bar 2, that is, in a transverse direction of the member.
In some cases, a Z-shaped steel member, a C-shaped steel member, or a lightweight steel frame may be used as the support bar 2.
As shown in
As shown in
Furthermore, the permanent form 3 includes the outer protrusion 34 having a ‘L’-shaped section, protruding longitudinally from the inner end of the bent corner portion 33, and laid on top of the protrusion 32′ formed on the outermost position (the other side end portion) of the permanent form 3′ coupled to the neighboring member surface.
The protrusions 32 may be spaced apart in a plurality of columns from each other along the transverse direction of the member, like the locking holes 221 of the other side leg 22 of the support bar 2.
Since stiffness of a section of the member increases through an I value raised by the formation of the protrusions 32, the permanent form 3 can ensure excellent resistance for a lateral pressure upon concrete casting.
The protrusions 32 are buried in concrete after the concrete casting so that they become integral with the concrete.
The protrusions 32 are inserted into the locking holes 221 of the support bars 2 to allow the permanent form 3 to be fixed to the support bars 2.
Upon concrete casting, generally, a lateral pressure of the concrete is intensively generated from the corners of the member. According to the present invention, therefore, the bent corner portion 33 is extended unitarily from the permanent form 3 of the member surface on the corner of the member, and a bonding portion of the permanent form 3 to the neighboring permanent form 3′ is moved to the member surface, so that the permanent form 3 can be stably resistant to the lateral pressure on the corner thereof.
The outer protrusion 34 has the ‘L’-shaped section in such a manner as to be laid on top of the other side outermost protrusion 32′ of the permanent form 3′ coupled to the neighboring member surface.
As shown in
The permanent form 3 is formed of one flat plate which is bent unitarily to the flat plate 31, the protrusions 32, the bent corner portion 33 and the outer protrusion 34.
The permanent form 3 may be in advance attached to the support bars 2 coupled to the shape steel members 1, and otherwise, it can be attached thereto in a construction site.
If the member has a large width, the permanent form 3 is segmented into a plurality of forms, and the plurality of permanent forms 3 can be coupled to one surface of the member.
As shown in
Accordingly, the protrusions 32 can be inserted directly into the front surfaces of the support bars 2, thereby allowing the permanent form 3 to be coupled directly to the front surface of the member.
In detail, the permanent form 3 comes into close contact with the front surfaces of the support bars 2 so as to insert the protrusions 32 into the locking holes 221, and next, the permanent form 3 is slidingly moved in a horizontal direction, so that the protrusions 32 can be easily locked onto the locking holes 221.
Moreover, the corner of the member is built by means of the bent corner portion 33 extended from the flat plate 31, and the outer protrusion 34 formed on the end portion of the bent corner portion 33 has a corresponding shape to the other side outermost protrusion 32′ of the permanent form 3′ coupled to the neighboring member surface, so that it is laid on top of the other side outermost protrusion 32′.
So as to prevent the permanent form 3 after installed from sliding in the longitudinal direction of the member, the support bars 2 and the permanent form 3 can be welded to each other on one or more positions per one.
As mentioned above, after the protrusions 32 of the permanent form 3 are inserted into the locking holes 221 on the front surface of the member, the permanent form 3 is slidingly moved in the transverse direction of the member, so that the protrusions 32 can be locked onto the locking holes 221. Accordingly, there is no need to form any spare space on the end portion of the member to insert the permanent form 3, and the permanent form 3 having the ‘L’-shaped protrusions 32 can be used over the whole surface of the member.
Moreover, the permanent form 3 is supported against the shape steel members 1 through the support bars 2 located inside the member, so that no separate temporary supports for supporting the permanent form are required.
Also, the support bars 2 serve as support frames for the permanent form, so that a thickness of the permanent form can be minimized, which gives an economical advantage. Further, the permanent form can be more lightweight than the existing form, thereby being easily handled by a worker.
As shown in
If the extended support 23 extended from one end of the other side leg 22 of the support bar 2 is inserted into the inside of the protrusion 32 of the permanent form 3 to support the protrusion 32, the permanent form 3 can be prevented from being deformed outward due to the lateral pressure of the concrete on the corner of the member.
Now, the coupling processes of the permanent forms 3 to the surfaces of the member will be explained with reference to
First, as shown in
After that, the permanent form 3 is slidingly moved in the transverse direction of the member, so that the protrusions 32 can be locked onto the locking holes 221.
Next, the permanent form 3 is built on the neighboring surface of the member in the same order as shown in
At this time, the outer protrusion 34 protruding from the bent corner portion 33 of the permanent form 3 is laid upon top of the other side outermost protrusion 32′ of the permanent form 3′ coupled to the neighboring member surface.
When the permanent form 3 horizontally slides, as a result, the corner of the member can be finished, without any interference therein.
After that, as shown in
As shown in
If a size of the member is large or a one-time casting height of concrete is high, a substantially strong lateral pressure is applied to the corners of the member.
So as to allow the strong lateral pressure to be stably supported against the corners of the member, accordingly, the corner stiffeners 4 are coupled to the inside of the bent corner portion 33.
The corner stiffeners 4 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the member, and their installation distance is determined according to a one-time casting height of concrete.
Upon concrete casting, on the other hand, air is caught at a lower portion of the corner stiffener 4, so that the concrete is not cast compactedly, and so as to avoid such a problem, accordingly, the corner stiffener 4 desirably has an air hole 41 formed thereon.
Further, the corner stiffener 4 has a first extended portion 42 extended from a protrusion side end portion thereof in such a manner as to surround the protrusion 32 and a second extended portion 43 extended from an outer protrusion side end portion thereof in such a manner as to be inserted into the inside of the outer protrusion 34.
The first extended portion 42 has a shape of a ‘L’-like hook, surrounds the protrusion 32, and is then fixed to the protrusion 32 by means of welding W.
At this time, the first extended portion 42 is adapted to surround the protrusion 32, so that the corner stiffener 4 can be rigidly fixed to the protrusion 32 only by means of spot welding.
The second extended portion 43 is lockedly inserted into the inside of the outer protrusion 34.
The second extended portion 43 serves to prevent the bent corner portion 33 from being open outward due to the lateral pressure of the concrete upon the concrete casting.
The protrusion 32′ formed on the outermost position of the permanent form 3′ of the neighboring member surface is locked onto the outer protrusion 34 supported rigidly against the second extension portion 43 of the corner stiffener 4, so that the protrusion 32′ can be stably supported against the outer protrusion 34.
In detail, one end of the permanent form 3 is supported against the corner stiffener 4, and the other end thereof is supported in such a manner as to allow the outermost protrusion 32′ to be locked onto the end portion of the permanent form 3′ of the neighboring member surface, so that both ends of the permanent form 3 can be supported rigidly.
Since the bent corner portion 33 is reinforced by means of the corner stiffeners 4, moreover, rigid coupling on the corners of the member can be maintained, without any separate corner beads or clips for connecting the permanent forms 3 thereon.
Further, the corner stiffener 4 has support wings 44 bent vertically from sides coming into contact with the bent corner portion 33 in such a manner as to be supported against the surfaces of the bent corner portion 33.
When the corner stiffener 4 is inserted into the bent corner portion 33 and is fixed thereto by means of welding, the support wings 44 are adapted to allow the corner stiffener 4 in position to be fixed to the bent corner portion 33 and to allow a horizontal level of the corner stiffener 4 to be maintained.
The support wings 44 are formed on both of two end portions coming into contact with the bent corner portion 33, so that they can be fixed in position in two directions.
Accordingly, the corner stiffener 4 is fixed rigidly to the bent corner portion 34 by means of the two-directional support of the support wings 44, thereby allowing welding for the corner stiffener 4 to be easily achieved.
According to the present invention, the combination structure of the permanent forms and the prefabricated steel assembly for the steel concrete composite member is capable of easily combining the permanent forms to the prefabricated steel assembly, thereby greatly reducing time and costs required to construct and deconstruct the forms. Further, the combination structure is capable of allowing the support bars to serve as the support frames for the permanent forms, so that thicknesses of the forms can be minimized, thereby giving an economical advantage, and further, the permanent forms can be more lightweight than the existing forms, thereby being easily handled by a worker.
