Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of civil engineering, specifically to a construction and design method for an interlocking jointed stone masonry wall reinforcement structure. Background Technology

[0002] In some buildings, due to limitations in design theory, building materials, and construction conditions at the time, the building materials, construction quality, structural seismic bearing capacity, and construction methods used do not meet the requirements of current standards, which greatly affects the safety of the structure. The mortar strength of many walls is too low, and the walls must be reinforced before they can continue to be used.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN102392542A, published on March 28, 2012, discloses a method for unilateral reinforcement and seismic strengthening of existing masonry structures. By adding steel mesh to one side of the wall and connecting it with L-shaped through-wall steel bars, the steel bars and the wall form an integral whole, thereby improving the seismic performance of the wall.

[0004] However, the existing technology involves adding a steel mesh to one side of the wall and forming an integral whole with the wall through through-wall reinforcement bars. The shortcomings of this technology are: (1) The thickness of the mortar joints between the blocks is usually relatively small, while the minimum diameter of ordinary steel bars is 6mm, making it difficult to ensure that through-wall reinforcement bars can be inserted between the mortar joints; (2) Even if through-wall reinforcement bars can be inserted at the mortar joints, the mortar at the joints provides very limited coverage for the through-wall reinforcement bars, resulting in very weak pull-out resistance. Under lateral force, they are easily pulled out of the mortar joints; (3) The cross-sectional area of ​​the through-wall reinforcement bars is small, and the transverse... The shear resistance is weak, and the small number of through-wall reinforcement bars cannot effectively ensure that the original wall and the steel mesh share the same or coordinated force. As a result, the reinforcement effect of the steel mesh on the original wall is very limited. Therefore, the lateral stiffness and shear bearing capacity of the reinforced wall are not significantly improved. (4) Under the action of horizontal seismic shear force, the wall generally develops diagonal or cross diagonal cracks. The steel mesh in this technology is set orthogonally in the longitudinal and transverse directions and arranged throughout the wall, which is not only inefficient but also wasteful. (5) The thickness of the reinforced wall increases significantly on one side, which significantly reduces the usable space on the outside of the wall. Summary of the Invention

[0060] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0061] Example 1: As Figures 1-10 As shown:

[0062] It includes polymer mortar surface layer 1, L-shaped steel plate 2, mortar joint 3, stone block 4, through hole 5, T-shaped steel plate 6, and through groove 7.

[0063] First, during the reinforcement process, an "X"-shaped groove is chiseled along the mortar joint 3 on the interior side of the masonry wall. Then, polymer mortar is used to fill the groove to ensure the integrity of the masonry wall. Next, before the polymer mortar initially sets, multiple L-shaped steel plates 2 and T-shaped steel plates 6 are staggered and embedded into the center of the filled groove, forming an staggered "X"-shaped reinforcement structure.

[0064] The concrete tenons formed on the horizontal ends of the L-shaped steel plates 2 and T-shaped steel plates 6 along the horizontal direction of the mortar joint 3 help to enhance the interlocking force between the L-shaped steel plates 2 and T-shaped steel plates 6 and the mortar / polymer mortar. The vertical ends of the L-shaped steel plates 2 and T-shaped steel plates 6 along the vertical direction of the mortar joint can improve the synergistic force distribution between the stone blocks 4 and the L-shaped steel plates 2 / T-shaped steel plates 6, which is beneficial to improving the poor shear resistance combination effect that has always existed between the stone blocks 4 and the mortar / polymer mortar. Finally, a layer of polymer mortar surface layer 1 is covered on the reinforced side wall of the stone masonry wall to cover all steel plates and protect their surfaces, ensuring the integrity and stability of the overall reinforced structure. The through grooves 7 opened on the outer side of the L-shaped steel plates 2 and T-shaped steel plates 6 help to enhance the combination effect and integrity of the L-shaped steel plates 2 and T-shaped steel plates 6 with the polymer mortar surface layer 1 on the outer side of the wall.

[0065] After the polymer mortar in the groove solidifies, it forms part of the polymer mortar surface layer 1.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific implementation method of the non-destructive reinforcement technology for one side of a masonry wall is as follows:

[0067] (1) Determine the position of the “X” type caulking joint in the mortar joint 3 on the interior side of the stone masonry wall, and chisel out the “X” type groove to remove the dust in the cavity;

[0068] (2) Press the polymer mortar into the groove. When filling the groove gap, use tools such as trowels and grout knives to make the polymer mortar fill the groove gap evenly.

[0069] (3) Before the polymer mortar in the groove initially sets, place multiple L-shaped steel plates 2 according to... or The items are arranged in a staggered, interlocking pattern, with two T-shaped steel plates used at the "X" intersections. and The staggered stacking ultimately forms an "X"-shaped staggered joint reinforcement arrangement on the reinforced side wall of the masonry wall. It should be noted that after the L-shaped steel plate 2 and T-shaped steel plate 6 are embedded in the polymer mortar groove at the mortar joint 3, a 10mm width should be reserved on the outside of the masonry wall (i.e., 10mm beyond the outer surface of the masonry wall) to ensure that the through groove 7 on the L-shaped steel plate 2 and T-shaped steel plate 6 is exposed on the outside of the masonry wall.

[0070] The staggered fit of adjacent L-shaped steel plates 2 is as follows Figure 7 As shown, the multiple through holes 5 at the intersection are aligned; the staggered fit of adjacent T-shaped steel plates 6 is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the multiple through holes 5 at the intersection are aligned.

[0071] (4) Use polymer mortar to reinforce the interior side of the entire masonry wall to cover all L-shaped steel plates 2 and T-shaped steel plates 6; the thickness of polymer mortar surface layer 1 should be applied as needed, but should not be less than 15mm; as needed, polymer mortar surface layer 1 can cover only the steel plate area, or it can be applied along the entire masonry wall.

[0072] Examples 2 and 3 are respectively as follows Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, by changing the caulking position in step (1) above, multiple "X"-shaped reinforcement bases are formed. Then, by repeating steps (2), (3), and (4), the stone masonry walls at the door and window openings can be reinforced and renovated.

[0073] Design Methodology:

Wherein, V m V represents the shear bearing capacity of an unreinforced stone wall. s V represents the contribution of the jointed steel plate to the shear capacity of the stone wall. p This indicates the contribution of the polymer mortar surface layer to the shear capacity of the stone wall. Since the mortar layer replaced by the joint is relatively small, the increase in shear capacity due to the replacement mortar layer is ignored.

[0077] In the formula, V represents the design value of the shear force within the masonry wall surface;

[0080] V p —The contribution of polymer mortar surface layer to the shear bearing capacity of stone wall is calculated using formula (4).

[0081]

[0082] In the formula, η is the influence coefficient of unilateral reinforcement;

[0083] α s —Coefficient of the jointed steel plate in operation;

[0084] f s —Design value of tensile strength of steel plate;

[0085] f v —Design value of shear strength of steel plate;

[0086] —The cross-sectional area of ​​the horizontal end of the i-th steel plate passing through the calculated inclined section;

[0087] —The cross-sectional area of ​​the i-th steel plate at the vertical end of the calculated inclined section;

[0088] n — the number of horizontal ends of the steel plate passing through the calculated inclined section;

[0089] m — the number of vertical ends of the steel plate passing through the calculated inclined section.

[0090] V p =0.02f c tl (4)

[0091] In the formula, f c —Design value of axial compressive strength of polymer mortar;

[0092] t — thickness of polymer mortar surface layer;

[0093] l — Length of the wall in the horizontal direction.

[0094] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of specific implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
