Anchor member 36 as well as the anchor member 35 comprises the connection member 20 and the anchor bolt 21. One end of the connection member 20 of the anchor member 36 is fixed to a predetermined position on the back surface of the steel wall plate 13. Opening 39 is formed in the steel wall plate 13 at a point which is on the extension of the center line of the connection member 20. The opening 39 of the steel wall plate 13 is provided for each anchor member 36 oppositely to the screw hole of the connection member 20.
In the above description, each of anchor members 35, 36 is an assembly of the connection member 20 and the anchor bolt 21. However, it is possible to use the anchor member as a single-component unit.
Referring to
The position and number of the anchor members 36 are determined by the position and number of the through holes, in which mounting bolts 38 are inserted, formed in the installation frame 24 on which the equipment 19 is placed. The predetermined number of the anchor members 36 is fixed on the back surface of the steel wall plate 13 in sequence by using the positioning tool 6. The anchor members 36 are respectively fixed so as not to interfere with the other members when they are fixed.
The equipment 19 is installed on two surfaces of the module 30. As already explained, in the present embodiment, the equipment 19 is installed on the floor member 32 and one of the sidewall members 31. The equipment 19 is installed by the following procedure. The installation frame 25 placed the equipment 19 is put on the floor member 32 so as to align its through holes of the installation frame 25 over the openings 39 in the steel floor plate 18. Similarly, the through holes of frame 24 are aligned over the openings 39 of the steel wall plate 13. In this status, the predetermined number of mounting bolts (fastening apparatus) 37 are respectively inserted into the corresponding screw holes of the connection members 20 of the anchor members 35 through the corresponding through holes formed in the installation frame 25 and openings 39 in the steel floor plate 18. When the mounting bolt 37 is turned and the screw thread of the mounting bolt 37 is engaged with the screw thread of the connection member 20 of the anchor members 35, the installation frame 25 is removably fastened to the floor member 32. Similarly, the predetermined number of mounting bolts (fastening apparatus) 38 are respectively inserted into the corresponding screw holes of the connection members 20 of the anchor members 36 through the corresponding through holes formed in the installation frame 24 and the openings 39 in the steel wall plate 13. When the mounting bolt 37 is turned and the screw thread of the mounting bolt 37 is engaged with the screw thread of the coupling member 20 of the anchor members 36, the installation frame 24 is removably fastened to the sidewall member 31.
An equipment 58 is mounted on one surface of the module 30, that is, the floor member 32. The equipment 58 is fastened to the floor member 32 by engaging the mounting bolts 37 inserted in through holes formed in frame 59 with the anchor members 35 that are provided on the back surface of the steel floor plate 18 as well as the equipment 19.
Other equipment 48 (e.g., rotary apparatus) is mounted on the steel groundwork 49 placed on the frame beams 11A and 11B. It is necessary that the floor of the module 30 assures the drainage and decontamination of radioactive substances. For this purpose, in the present embodiment, the steel groundwork 49 is provided the steel groundwork 49 on the frame beams 11A and 11B buried in concrete and the equipment 48 is installed on the steel groundwork 49. When the slanted surface 17 is formed by the poured concrete over the frame beams 11A and 11B, it is so constructed that the upper end of the steel groundwork 49 is above the surface of the poured concrete. The steel floor plate 18 is not provided on the frame beams 11A and 11B on which the steel groundwork 49 is placed. In this case, a floor margin 50 to bury the frame beams 11A and 11B is formed.
The module 30 of the present embodiment is provided with the plurality of columns 8 for structures in the center part of the room 34. These columns 8 are mounted on the plurality of frame beams 4 of the ceiling member 33. The lower ends of each column 8 is supported by temporary columnar support 7 that is provided on the frame beam 11B of the floor member 32 so that the center of the ceiling member 33 is supported by the columns 8 and the temporary columnar supports 7. It is possible to substitute the temporary columnar supports 7 by extension of the columns 8 on the frame beam 11B.
Below will be explained a method for constructing a building with the module 30 provided with the equipments 19, 48, and 55 by using a reactor building as an example. The module 30 is assembled in a factory and transferred to the building construction field. If the module 30 is too big to be transferred from the factory to the construction field, it is possible to manufacture required parts in the factory and assemble the parts into the module 30 in the field of the nuclear power plant or, for example, near the construction field of the plant.
A plurality of embedded plates 10 each of which has a plurality of anchors 45 on back surface of the embedded plate 10 are buried in place beforehand in the field of the reactor building on which the module 30 is placed. The upper surface of embedded plate 10 is a little lower than the reference floor level (by the height of the frame beam 11A or 11B). Concrete is poured to the level of the upper surface of the embedded plate 10.
The module 30 is lifted by a crane with its the floor member 32 faced downward, transferred to the construction site of the reactor building, and placed on the plurality of embedded plates 10 buried in concrete. Burial margins of the frame beams 11A and 11B buried in concrete are assured by placing the module 30 on the embedded plates 10 that is in the above level. After concrete is poured to the upper surface level of the embedded plates 10 and hardened, the module 30 is placed on the embedded plates 10. Therefore, the weight of the module 30 is steadily transmitted to the floor of the reactor building. This structure can reduce the frame beams 11A and 11B and the weight of the floor member 32. This leads to reduction of weight of the module 30.
Reinforcing bars (not shown) are disposed above the ceiling member 33. Four wooden formworks 23 are provided oppositely to steel wall plates 13 outside the sidewall members 31 that are provided on four sides of the module 30. The wooden formworks 23 are not attached to the module 30. After the module 30 is placed on the predetermined position where the reactor building is constructed, the wooden formworks 23 are placed before concrete is poured. A clearance of a predetermined distance is provided between the steel wall plate 13 and the wooden formworks 23. Concrete is poured on the upper part of the ceiling member 33 and to the outside of the respective sidewall members 31. To pour concrete to the outside of the sidewall members 31, concrete is poured into the space between the steel wall plate 13 and the wooden formwork 23 through the space between the sidewall member 31 and the beam member 43. When concrete is poured on the floor, the frame beams 11A and 11B, the anchor members 35, the embedded plates 10, and the anchor members 45 are all buried in concrete. Similarly, the anchor members 36 fixed on the back surface of the steel wall plate 13 and the frame columns 1 are also buried in concrete poured between the steel wall plate 13 and the wooden formwork 23. Further a concrete layer of a predetermined thickness is poured above the Q-deck 12. The steel wall plates 13, the Q-deck 12, and the steel floor plate 18 are used as formworks for pouring concrete. When a steel formwork of the ceiling is used instead of the Q-deck 12, the steel formwork is used as a formwork for the ceiling. Item 2 indicates ceiling concrete and item 3 is wall concrete.
Slanted surface 17 of a concrete floor is formed in the center of the floor member 32 in the room 34. The slanted surface 17 is the lowest at the center and a drain collection pit 46 is formed there to collect drain.
In the above concrete pouring, concrete is also placed on the floor margin 50 which is on a place where the steel groundwork 49 is placed. With this, the frame beams 11A and 11B are poured in concrete. Further, the slanted surface 17 is formed above the floor member 32. Since the upper end portion of the steel groundwork 49 is raised as already explained, a concrete floor having the slanted surface 17 can be formed below the upper end portion of the steel groundwork 49 in the module 30.
After the poured concrete becomes solidified, the anchor members 35 have functions of anchoring the steel floor plate 18 and fastening the equipment 19 together with the mounting bolts 37. Similarly, anchor members 36 have functions of anchoring the steel wall plates 13 and fastening the equipment 19 together with the mounting bolts 38.
In the present embodiment, the anchor members 35 and the anchor members 36 are provided respectively on the back surface of the steel floor plate 18 and on the back surface of the steel wall plate 13 and the anchor members are not projected over the surface of each steel plate 18, 13. Thus, the present embodiment can easily install the internal structures that must be installed on at least two of the sidewall members 31, the floor member 32, and the ceiling member 33, specifically the equipment 19, into the module 30. It is possible to align the through holes, into which the mounting bolts 37 are inserted, formed in the installation frame 25 with the openings 39 formed in the steel floor plate 18 while moving the lower surface of the installation frame 25 of equipment 19 horizontally along the upper surface of the steel floor plate 18. If the through holes are not aligned with the openings 39 when the lower surface of the frame 25 touches the upper surface of the steel floor plate 18, it is possible to easily align the through holes with the openings 39 by moving equipment 19 horizontally while the lower surface of the frame 25 touches the upper surface of the steel floor plate 18. In this state, because it is possible to touch directly a side surface of the installation frame 24 to an inner surface of the steel wall plate 13, the through holes, into which the mounting bolts 38 are inserted, formed in the installation frame 24 can be easily aligned with the openings 30 formed in the installation 24. As already explained, the mounting bolts 37 are engaged with the connection members 20 of the anchor member 35 and similarly the mounting bolts 38 are engaged with the connection members 20 of the anchor member 36. Therefore, the equipment 19 can be easily installed on two surfaces of the module 30. In accordance with the present embodiment, it never happens that the equipment 19 is blocked by the anchor members 35 and 36 while moving to the installation site. Therefore, as explained above, the equipment 19 can be easily installed on two surfaces of the module 30.
The present embodiment can dissolve the aforementioned problems of installing plant equipment with anchor bolts and nuts, by providing anchor bolts on the floor member and wall members of the module.
To perform maintenance and inspection of the equipment 19 in the annual inspection of the nuclear power plant after the module 30 is installed, the mounting bolts 37 and 38 are removed from the floor member 32 and the sidewall member 31. Thus, the equipment 19 can transfer and the maintenance and the inspection of the equipment 19 can be easily carried out. Necessarily, after the maintenance and the inspection, the equipment 19 can be easily re-installed in the module 30 as already explained. The tightening forces of the mounting bolts 37 and 38 can be transmitted to concrete through the anchor members 35 and 36.
Unlike the equipment 19, the equipment 58 is installed on one surface (the floor member 32) in the module 30 with the anchor members 35 and the mounting bolts 37. Since the anchor members 35 are not projected above the steel floor plate 18, the equipment 58 can move without coming into collision with the anchor members 35 during moving the equipment 58 horizontally for installing on the steel floor plate 18 of the floor member 32. Further, the movement of the equipment 58 is not limited by the anchor members 35. In this way, the present embodiment can easily install the internal structures in the module 30 by using the anchor members 35 and the mounting bolts 37 even when the internal structure is mounted on a single inner surface of the module 30. By using the anchor members 35 provided on the back surface of one of the steel floor plate 18, the steel wall plate 13, and Q-deck 12, the internal structures can be installed easily and quickly on one surface (any one of sidewall members 31, the floor member 32, and the ceiling member 33 of the module 30.
It is possible to easily demount the equipment 58 from the floor member 32 by disengaging the mounting bolts 37 from their anchor members 35. So, the maintenance and the inspection of the equipment 58 can be easily carried out. After the maintenance and the inspection, the equipment 58 can be remounted on the floor member 32 easily as explained above.
Since the ceiling member 33 is supported by the frame columns 1 that are disposed under the ceiling member 33, the frame columns 1 can support the weight of concrete poured on the Q-deck 12 during pouring concrete. Therefore, this enables simultaneous the pouring of concrete on Q-deck plate 12 and the outside of the sidewall members 31 and shortens the construction period of a nuclear power plant. Particularly, the present embodiment can omit the period of aging wall concrete before concrete is poured on the ceiling section.
The present embodiment can greatly reduce the flexure of the frame beams 4 and the Q-deck 12 during pouring concrete on the Q-deck 12 because the center portion of the ceiling member 33 is supported by the columns 8 and the temporary columns 7. Therefore, the positions on which plant structures 9 are placed will not be affected by the pouring of concrete and the plant structures 9 can be always placed on the predetermined positions.
In this embodiment, because the lower surface of the frame beam 43 is high as the lower surface of the beam member 43, notches in the beam through holes can be omitted. Therefore, processes of notching the steel wall plates 13, and processes to treat the notches can be omitted too. Further, since the steel wall plates 13 are welded to the frame beams 40, the steel wall plates 13 are protected against deformation while the module 30 having four sidewall members 31 and the ceiling member 33 is hoisted up and transferred by a crane.
To support the reactive force of the equipment 48, for example, a rotary apparatus during operation, the steel groundwork 49 requires a structure to release the reactive force to the building of the reactor building via the frame beams 11A and 11B. To solve this problem, it is assumed to be possible to provide stud bolts on the frame beams 11A and 11B to fasten the equipment. However, it is necessary to prevent stud bolts from interfering with reinforcing bars placed on the floor. As the result, the floor margin 50 is forced to become greater and a lot of unwanted concrete is used. To prevent the increase of the floor margin 50, the present embodiment provides embedded plates 51 under the frame beams 11A and 11B just under the steel groundwork 49. The embedded plates 51 are welded (or bolted) to the frame beams 11A and 11B. Each embedded plate 51 is fixed with a plurality of anchors 52 on the lower surface thereof. The embedded plates 51 and the anchors 52 are buried in concrete. With the above construction, the present embodiment enables transmission of the reactive force of the operating rotary apparatus on the steel groundwork 49 to the building and assures the required strength of the rotary apparatus to the foundation structure. Further, the use of the embedded plates 51 enables installation of shim materials for module level adjustment between the embedded plates 51 and the frame beams 11A and 11B. In other words, the adjustment of the installation level of the module 30 is made easier.
For installation of a rotary apparatus and other equipment that require high rigidity for the steel groundwork 49, it is possible to assure the rigidity of the foundation by the steel groundwork 49 and the frame beams 11A and 11B and increase the rigidity as high as that of a conventional concrete groundwork by filling steel groundwork 49 with concrete (or mortar) after installing the module 30 on the predetermined installation site of the reactor building.
Since the present embodiment can form a slanted concrete surface 17 towards the upper part of the floor member 32 by the pouring of concrete, drain liquid can be easily collected into the drain recovery pit 46. Further, also when a decontamination work is carried out on the internal structures (for example, piping 53A shown in FIG. 7 to be explained later) in the module 30, the generated waste water can be collected into the drain recovery bit 46.
As explained above, when the equipment 48 is installed using the steel groundwork 49, supports (or stands) 54A, 54B, and 54C to support pipes 53A, 53B, and 53C around the equipment 48 are mounted on the frame beams 11B (or 11A) that are buried in concrete (see
Although the module 30 in the above embodiment is applied to a reactor building, the module 30 is also applicable to a turbine building and a radioactive waste building in the nuclear power plant. Further, the module 30 can be applied to building of a thermal power plant.
A module which is another embodiment of the present invention will be explained below referring to
The module 30B like the module 30 is also placed on a plurality of the embedded plates 10 buried in a predetermined construction site of the reactor building. A room is formed in the upper part of the module 30B. Therefore, wooden formworks for side walls and the ceiling of the room are provided before the pouring of concrete. As for the side walls, two wooden formworks are placed face to face and reinforcing bars are provided between these wooden formworks. The wooden formwork of the ceiling is supported by a plurality of supporting members. In this status, concrete is poured on the upper part of the wooden formwork of the ceiling and between two wooden formworks of the side wall. The anchor members 35 are buried in concrete. The slanted surface 17 that inclines to a drain recovery pit 46 is formed in the center of the floor member 32 of the module too. Similarly to Embodiment 1, the present embodiment forms the slanted surface 17 above the frame beams 11A and 11B in the place where the steel groundwork 49 is placed.
The present embodiment like Embodiment 1 facilitates installation of the equipment (structures) 55 since the anchor members 35 and the mounting bolts 37 are used to install the equipment 58. Further, since the present embodiment places the steel groundwork 49 on the frame beams 11A and 11B similarly to Embodiment 1 with its upper end portion above the surface (the slanted surface 17) of concrete that covers the frame beams 11A and 11B, the slanted surface 17 can be formed above the floor member 32.
It is possible to place a module without the equipment 48 and 55, specifically a module having a steel groundwork 49 on the floor member 32 or a module having a floor member 32 without the steel groundwork 49 on the plurality of the embedded plates 10 that are buried in the predetermined construction site of the reactor building before the pouring of concrete. In this case, the equipment and other structures are installed by using the anchor members 35 of the floor member 32 or the steel groundwork 49 after concrete is solidified. Embodiment 2 like Embodiment 1 facilitates installation of the equipment 55 also when the equipment is secured by the anchor members 35 and the mounting bolts 37 after the pouring of concrete.
