The present invention relates to a concrete foundation structure using a precast concrete foundation and a method for constructing the concrete foundation structure.
Concrete foundations such as footing foundations, mat foundations, and independent foundations are generally used as foundations for receiving a load of a building. However, when constructing the foundations, since many steps including a step of assembling a formwork on site, a step of incorporating a rebar based on a structural design, a step of pouring concrete into the formwork, a step of hardening the concrete, a step of removing the formwork, and the like are required, there is a problem that a construction period is long. Further, since the foundations are constructed manually on site, there is a problem that an error is likely to occur in finishing accuracy. Furthermore, since it is necessary to secure a skilled technician and a special vehicle such as a concrete pump truck, there is a problem that construction cost increases.
As a typical technique that can solve the above problems, there is a foundation structure disclosed in PATENT LITERATURE 1. The foundation structure includes a concrete foundation plate placed on a surface of a ground and an underground anchor driven into the ground, and the concrete foundation plate and the underground anchor are connected to each other. With the foundation structure, since the concrete foundation plate can be produced in a factory, concrete pouring work and the like on site can be omitted.
PATENT LITERATURE 1: JP-A-2011-043027
However, the foundation structure described in PATENT LITERATURE 1 is used for applications that receive a load of a device such as an electric water heater, and is not intended to be used for applications that receive the load of the building. Therefore, when the foundation structure is used for receiving the load of the building, there is a possibility that the concrete foundation plate sinks, or the underground anchor is pulled out by force of wind hitting the building and the concrete foundation plate moves.
The present invention has been made to address the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a concrete foundation structure capable of firmly fixing a precast concrete foundation to a ground and a method for constructing the concrete foundation structure.
In order to achieve the above object, a feature of a concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that the concrete foundation structure includes: a precast concrete foundation placed on a surface of a ground; an excavation hole formed by excavating the ground below the precast concrete foundation; a plate-shaped anchor plate placed inside the excavation hole; a rod-shaped connecting member connecting the precast concrete foundation and the anchor plate; a backfill portion formed by backfilling a backfill material including a solidifying material in the excavation hole; and a filler layer formed by filling a filler including the solidifying material between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion, wherein the precast concrete foundation comprises: a foundation body formed to cover the backfill portion from above; and a projecting portion provided to project downward from an outer periphery of the foundation body and embedded in the ground.
According to this configuration, the backfill portion formed below the precast concrete foundation is solidified by using the solidifying material, and the filler layer formed between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion is solidified by using the solidifying material, so that the precast concrete foundation can be stably supported by the backfill portion and the filler layer. Further, since the anchor plate connected to the precast concrete foundation is embedded in the backfill portion, the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion are integrated together, so that the precast concrete foundation can be restrained from moving by a frictional force acting between an outer surface of the backfill portion and an inner surface of the excavation hole. Furthermore, since the projecting portion of the precast concrete foundation is embedded in the ground, the precast concrete foundation can be restrained from moving by the frictional force acting between the projecting portion and the ground. Therefore, the precast concrete foundation can be firmly fixed to the ground.
Another feature of the concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that the projecting portion is formed annularly on the outer periphery of the foundation body.
According to this configuration, since the projecting portion is formed annularly on the outer periphery of the foundation body, an upper portion of the backfill portion can be surrounded by the projecting portion, and the ground can be present all around the projecting portion. Therefore, when a horizontal external force acts on the precast concrete foundation, the precast concrete foundation can be effectively restrained from moving by the backfill portion and the ground.
Another feature of the concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that the foundation body is provided with a through-hole through which the connecting member is inserted, and a portion of the connecting member projecting upward from the through-hole is provided with a movement preventing portion that contacts the foundation body and prevents the precast concrete foundation from moving upward.
According to this configuration, an upper end of the connecting member embedded in the backfill portion can be inserted through the through-hole provided in the foundation body, and then the movement preventing portion can be provided in the portion of the connecting member projecting upward from the through-hole. Therefore, when forming the backfill portion, the precast concrete foundation can be separated from the connecting member, and work of forming the backfill portion can be performed efficiently.
Another feature of the concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that a filler of the same type as the filler is filled in the through-hole, and the filler filled in the through-hole is continuously integrated with the filler forming the filler layer.
According to this configuration, since a first portion of the connecting member present between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion and a second portion of the connecting member present inside the through-hole can be wrapped with one continuous filler, it is possible to prevent a shearing force from acting on a boundary between the first portion and the second portion, thereby improving durability of the connecting member.
Another feature of the concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that the through-hole is formed to have a cross-sectional area decreasing downward.
According to this configuration, since the through-hole is formed to have the cross-sectional area decreasing downward, when the precast concrete foundation is to be separated from the filler layer, the filler filled in the through-hole is caught by the inner surface of the through-hole. Therefore, the precast concrete foundation is difficult to be separated from the filler layer.
In order to achieve the above object, a feature of a method for constructing a concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that the method includes: a step (a) of excavating a ground to form an excavation hole; a step (b) of attaching a plate-shaped anchor plate to a lower end of a rod-shaped connecting member, and placing the anchor plate and the connecting member inside the excavation hole; a step (c) of backfilling a backfill material including a solidifying material in the excavation hole to form a backfill portion, and projecting an upper end of the connecting member upward from an upper surface of the backfill portion; a step (d) of preparing a precast concrete foundation having a foundation body provided with a through-hole through which the connecting member is inserted; a step (e) of placing the precast concrete foundation on a surface of the ground and inserting the connecting member through the through-hole; a step (f) of filling a filler including a solidifying material between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion; and a step (g) of attaching a movement preventing portion to a portion of the connecting member projecting upward from the through-hole, the movement preventing portion contacting the foundation body and preventing the precast concrete foundation from moving upward.
According to this configuration, in the step (c), since the backfill material including the solidifying material is backfilled in the excavation hole to form the backfill portion, the backfill portion can be formed firmly. Further, in the step (f), since the filler including the solidifying material is filled between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion, the filler layer formed of the filler can be formed firmly. Therefore, the precast concrete foundation can be stably supported by the backfill portion and the filler layer. Further, the anchor plate and the connecting member are arranged inside the excavation hole in the step (b), the backfill material is backfilled in the excavation hole to form the backfill portion in the step (c), and the movement preventing portion is attached to the portion of the connecting member projecting upward from the through-hole in the step (g), so that the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion can be integrated together. Therefore, the precast concrete foundation can be restrained from moving by the frictional force acting between the outer surface of the backfill portion and the inner surface of the excavation hole.
Another feature of the method for constructing the concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that, in the step (f), the filler is also filled in the through-hole, and the filler filled between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion and the filler filled in the through-hole are continuously integrated together.
According to this configuration, since the first portion of the connecting member present between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion and the second portion of the connecting member present inside the through-hole can be wrapped with one continuous filler, it is possible to prevent the shearing force from acting on the boundary between the first portion and the second portion, thereby improving the durability of the connecting member.
Another feature of the method for constructing the concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that, in the step (f), the filler is filled between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion through the through-hole.
According to this configuration, since the filler is filled between the precast concrete foundation and the backfill portion through the through-hole through which the connecting member is inserted, it is not necessary to separately form a through-hole for filling the filler, and production cost of the precast concrete foundation can be kept low.
Another feature of the method for constructing the concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that, in the step (c), the backfill portion is compacted.
According to this configuration, in the step (c), since the backfill portion is compacted, the backfill portion can be formed more firmly.
Another feature of the method for constructing the concrete foundation structure according to the present invention is that, in the step (e), a height adjuster having a male screw extending in a vertical direction and a female screw screwed onto the male screw is attached to a side surface of the precast concrete foundation, and the male screw is rotated to adjust a length of a portion of the male screw projecting downward from the precast concrete foundation, so that a height of the precast concrete foundation is adjusted.
According to this configuration, in the step (e), since the height of the precast concrete foundation is adjusted, the concrete foundation structure can be constructed with high accuracy. Further, since the height adjuster has a simple structure having a male screw and the female screw, height adjusting operation can be easily performed.
Hereinafter, a concrete foundation structure and a method for constructing the concrete foundation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Modification)
Note that implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and various changes can be made without departing from the object of the present invention. That is, in the above embodiment, the concrete foundation structure 10 is used for supporting the building 12; however, the concrete foundation structure 10 may be used for supporting street lights, signboards, greenhouses, mechanical devices, and the like. Further, the size and weight of the concrete foundation structure 10 may be appropriately changed depending on applications.
In the above embodiment, the precast concrete foundation 16 and the anchor plate 20 are formed in a rectangular shape in a plan view; however, they may be formed in other shapes such as a square, a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a pentagon, and a hexagon in a plan view.
In the above embodiment, the projecting portion 30 is formed annularly on the outer periphery of the foundation body 28; however, the projecting portion 30 may be formed intermittently on the outer periphery of the foundation body 28 or may be formed in a shape in which a part of an annular shape is missing.
In the above embodiment, the through-hole 42 is formed in a tapered shape; however, the shape of the through-hole 42 may be any shape as long as the cross-sectional area decreases downward. For example, the through-hole 42 may be formed in a shape in which a projection is provided on the inner surface of the through-hole formed with a constant inner diameter. Further, a normal through-hole (not shown) having a constant inner diameter may be provided instead of the through-hole 42. Even in this case, since the first portion 22a of the connecting member 22 present between the precast concrete foundation 16 and the backfill portion 24, and the second portion 22b of the connecting member 22 present inside the through-hole (not shown) can be wrapped with one continuous filler 96, it is possible to prevent the shearing force from acting on the boundary, thereby increasing the durability of the connecting member 22.
In the above embodiment, the anchor plate 20 is fixed to the connecting member 22 with the two female screw members 80 and 82, but a method of fixing the anchor plate 20 may be changed as appropriate. For example, the female screw member 82 placed above the anchor plate 20 may be omitted. Further, the lower end of the connecting member 22 may be bent and hooked on the anchor plate 20.
In the above embodiment, the movement preventing portion 84 is formed as a member having the female screw 84a (
In the above embodiment, the cement-based solidifying material is used as the solidifying material of the backfill material 94 and the filler 96; however, another type of solidifying material may be used. For example, a lime-based solidifying material or a composite-based solidifying material in which the cement-based solidifying material and the lime-based solidifying material are mixed may be used. However, in order to obtain stable strength over a long period of time, it is desirable to use the cement-based solidifying material.
In the above embodiment, the filler 96 forming the filler layer 26 is filled from the through-hole 42 through which the connecting member 22 is inserted; however, the filler 96 forming the filler layer 26 may be filled from a through-hole (not shown) provided separately from the through-hole 42.
