This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2017-0155353, filed on Nov. 21, 2017, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to repairing and reinforcing a concrete structure, and more particularly, to a concrete structure using a reinforcing panel including an embedded reinforcing grid which is pressed in and fixed to a cross section of the concrete structure to be repaired by precast-fabricating a reinforcing panel in which a reinforcing grid is embedded to repair or reinforce the concrete structure and a method of repairing and reinforcing the same.
Generally, a variety of concrete structures built for construction and civil engineering are deteriorated in concrete quality by effects of meteorological changes, a variety of contaminated water such as seawater, underground water, rainwater, and the like, and a compound. Accordingly, in the case of such concrete structures, safety inspection is periodically executed and it is necessary to repair or reinforce a concrete structure for increasing rigidity and load carrying capacity when strength of the concrete structure does not reach a necessary level or damages such as abnormal delamination, exfoliation, cracks, and the like are checked as a result of the safety inspection.
As such a technology related to repair and reinforcement of a concrete structure, there is disclosed a method of increasing a load carrying capacity of a concrete structure using stainless steel wire mesh assembled in a grid shape. In detail, the stainless steel wire mesh functions as rebar and acts like the concrete structure through attachment performance of reinforcing mortar which forms a finishing layer to provide a reinforcing effect.
In the case of the technology of repairing and reinforcing a concrete structure, the stainless steel wire mesh is used only in place of rebar and a coating thickness is formed using the reinforcing mortar. Accordingly, in a dimension of reinforcing due to the lack of strength in deteriorated concrete and overload thereon, the stainless steel wire mesh in place of rebar is attached to concrete using the reinforcing mortar and increases moment resistance of rebar against tensile force of a beam or a slab to provide a repair and reinforcement effect.
However, when a concrete structure is repaired and reinforced using the above-described wire mesh, since quality depends on a tension state of the wire mesh attached to the concrete structure and it is difficult to provide tensile force such that a repair and reinforcement effect is reduced.
As a prior art, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-469579 discloses the invention titled “A Panel Style Reinforcing Material for Concrete Structure and Repair and Reinforcement Method using thereof” which will be described with reference to
As shown in
In detail, the compressed clips 12 are settled in contact with the adjacent spring rods 11 when the spring rods 11 are arranged in the multi-rows, and the adjacent spring rods 11 are bent at right angles in a direction in which both ends thereof overlap with one another and are finished by settling the compressed clips 12. Here, reference numeral 42 refers to a fixing pin.
In the panel type reinforcing material for a concrete structure according to the related art, the stainless steel spring rods 11 shot peening treated are assembled in a panel shape such that secure tension of the panel type reinforcing material 10 and binding force thereof with a high-strength mortar filler may be increased using the strength and tensile force thereof and tightening of a turn buckle 30.
In the panel type reinforcing material for a concrete structure according to the related art, since both ends of the reinforcing material 10 are fixedly held by anchor bolts 41 and the reinforcing material 10 assembled in a panel shape using the immediately compressed clips 12 is connected, there is less fear of pulling out the reinforcing material 10 from concrete body, sliding, and a shear fracture thereof. Also, the reinforcing materials 10 are tightened by a turn buckle 30 to come into close contact with and be fixed to the concrete structure C such that construction may be more precisely performed and a thickness and an error in building a mortar finishing layer 20 may be reduced.
However, since the panel type reinforcing material for a concrete structure according to the related art includes the plurality of compressed clips 12 which settle the adjacent spring rods 11 to be assembled in the panel shape having the lath structure, a structure thereof is complicated and a construction time is increased.
Meanwhile, recently, when cracks occur in a concrete structure, an injection method using a resin such as epoxy and the like has been utilized. However, the resin is easily deteriorated when exposed to air and water. For example, when a surface of concrete is deteriorated by corrosion of rebar in the concrete and the like and a cross section is exfoliated, a concrete structure has been repaired or reinforced by adhering a carbon fiber compound material, a steel sheet, or the like to the surface using a resin or applying a cement-based repairing material such as mortar and the like.
However, the resin was easily deteriorated and lost adhesion thereof, and the cement-based mortar was easily detached. Also, when a cross section of damaged or deteriorated concrete was repaired using a bonding method or a cement-based material, there was fear of poor aesthetics thereof due to repair.
As the related art, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1612800 discloses the invention titled “Structural Repair and Reinforcing Method for Concrete Structures such as Tunnel, Bridge Common Duct and Building by Using grid Fiber Mesh and Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix for Increasing Load Capacity and Fire Resistance Performance,” which will be described with reference to
Referring to
In detail, the grid fiber mesh 50 includes a structure in which longitudinal fibers 51 longitudinally extended and lateral fibers 52 laterally extended intersect with each other to form a grid shape. The longitudinal fibers 51 and the lateral fibers 52 of the grid fiber mesh 50 may be formed of the same material or different materials. Particularly, the yarn count numbers and strand numbers of the longitudinal and lateral fibers 51 and 52 may differ. Here, reference numeral 71 refers to an anchor bolt, reference numeral 72 refers to an anchor plate, and reference numeral 73 refers to a nut. Also, reference numeral 80 refers to temporarily fixing means.
The method of repairing and reinforcing a ferroconcrete structure using a grid fiber mesh and a cement matrix as reinforcing materials according to the related art may improve repair and reinforcement through increasing attachment performance and strength development of the cement matrix 60, improve reinforcement and aseismatic reinforcement according to an increase in adhesive force of the grid fiber mesh 50 using the cement matrix 60 with improved adhesive force and fire resistance, and additionally increase fire resistance of the ferroconcrete structure C in case of fire.
However, in the case of method of repairing and reinforcing a ferroconcrete structure using a grid fiber mesh and a cement matrix according to the related art, as described above, the fiber mesh may be easily deteriorated and lose adhesion thereof and the cement-based mortar may be easily detached. Also, when a cross section of damaged or deteriorated concrete is repaired using a bonding method or a cement-based material, there is fear of poor aesthetics thereof due to repair.
