Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a joint between a truss beam at the top of a steel column and a bracing column, and particularly to a joint structure and concrete pouring method for a truss beam at the top of a steel column and a bracing column. Background Technology
[0002] Steel structure buildings are a type of building structure, composed of components such as H-beams, steel columns, and steel trusses made of steel profiles and plates. With the development of prefabricated buildings, the on-site welding of integral steel structure beam-column joints has limited the construction speed of prefabricated steel structure buildings. To avoid a large amount of on-site welding work and improve the prefabrication degree of steel structure structures, bolts are also used to connect the joints. On-site construction usually adopts the method of component splicing, and the components or parts are usually connected together by welds, bolts, or rivets. This method has the advantage of simple construction and is widely used in large factories, stadiums, and super high-rise buildings.
[0003] Some stadium structures use a reinforced concrete frame for the lower part of the main structure and a tubular truss roof with aluminum panels for the upper part. The bottom of the tubular truss is set at the top of the concrete frame beam. I-beams are pre-embedded in the concrete frame beam. The pre-embedded I-beams need to be set at the top of the I-beams inside the steel columns. A diagonal bracing column is set on one side of the pre-embedded I-beam. The conventional construction method for the connection node of this steel beam, steel column and steel pipe diagonal bracing column is as follows: First, the pre-embedded I-beams in the concrete frame columns are constructed. Stirring plates are welded to both sides of the web of the top of the pre-embedded I-beams. The ends of the horizontal I-beams in the top concrete frame beam are butted to the stirring plates and fixed together with steel clamps. The upper flange of the horizontal steel beam at the connection point is on the outside of the joint. The ear plate at the top of the steel column is welded and connected to the inclined steel column. The top of the steel column inclined brace is attached to the top ear plate and welded and fixed, thus forming a connection node structure of steel beam, steel column and steel pipe inclined brace. This construction method has the following problems: (1) The positioning accuracy of the reinforcement plates on both sides of the web plate of the embedded I-beam in the column is low. In the subsequent docking with the I-beam in the beam, the docking misalignment often occurs and re-welding is required; (2) The positioning of the ear plate at the top of the steel column of the inclined brace welded on the outer side of the upper flange plate of the horizontal steel beam at the connection point is also inaccurate, which directly causes the top of the inclined brace to be misaligned with its connection point, making it impossible for the subsequent inclined brace to be connected with the ear plate; (3) When there are many such connection nodes, the operation safety risk is high because the node is welded at high altitude.
[0004] For the connection nodes between steel columns in steel-reinforced columns and steel beams and steel pipe bracing columns in precast concrete beams, there are problems with fixing the formwork at the nodes if concrete is poured. Traditional methods of reinforcing concrete beams with side formwork require inserting tie rods into the beam cross-section. However, since reinforced concrete steel beams and columns have embedded steel sections, it is not easy to drill tie rod holes on the side of the steel sections. Furthermore, drilling tie rod holes in the steel sections can affect the structural stress. Excessive drilling requires additional reinforcement measures, increasing the workload and raising project costs. In addition, after the formwork is erected at the joint between the truss beam and the diagonal bracing column at the top of the steel column, it is difficult to insert a vibrator during subsequent concrete pouring. How to achieve concrete pouring and vibration at the joint has become a problem that needs to be solved on site. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a method for constructing a joint between a steel column top truss beam and a bracing column, solving the technical problems of how to construct an integral joint and how to achieve concrete pouring and vibration at the joint.
[0006] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions: A method for constructing a joint between a truss beam and a bracing column at the top of a steel column, comprising an I-beam within the steel column, a pre-embedded I-beam, and a bracing steel pipe column, characterized by the following steps: The first step is to process and assemble the overall node components in the factory. The specific steps are as follows: Take a section of I-beam with the same specifications and size as the pre-embedded I-beam as the horizontal lower I-beam node segment. Set a web plate insertion groove for the steel column within the I-beam on the lower flange plate of the horizontal lower I-beam node segment. Set a web plate insertion slot for the horizontal upper I-beam node segment on the upper flange plate of the horizontal lower I-beam node segment. Set through holes for connecting bolts on both sides of the web of the horizontal lower I-beam node segment. Separately fabricate the horizontal upper I-beam node segment and the connecting bracket for the diagonal bracing steel pipe column. Weld a horizontal connecting plate to the front flange plate of the horizontal upper I-beam node segment. Weld the connecting bracket for the diagonal bracing steel pipe column to the outer end of the horizontal connecting plate. Weld a pre-embedded steel plate between the top of the connecting bracket for the diagonal bracing steel pipe column and the top surface of the horizontal upper I-beam node segment. Set a lifting lug on the top surface of the pre-embedded steel plate and an anchor bolt on the bottom surface of the pre-embedded steel plate. This completes the assembly of the overall node components. The second step is to hoist the entire node component to the top of the I-beam inside the steel column by means of hoisting, and then weld it to the I-beam inside the steel column through the web plate insertion groove. The third step is to connect the pre-embedded I-beams with the horizontal I-beam nodes and connect the diagonal bracing steel pipe columns with the diagonal bracing steel pipe column connecting brackets. Step 4: Set up inclined formwork and vertical formwork at the beam-column joint on the periphery of the overall node component. Set up the first tie bolt between the inclined formwork and the anchor bolt on the bottom surface of the embedded steel plate at the beam-column joint; set up the second tie bolt between the vertical formwork and the anchor bolt on the bottom surface of the embedded steel plate at the beam-column joint. There are four inclined formwork pieces at the beam-column joint and two vertical formwork pieces at the beam-column joint, which together form an octagonal outline. Step 5: Set up the bottom formwork under the pre-embedded I-beam, and set up the front and rear formwork on the bottom formwork. Set up tie bolts between the front and rear formwork. Set up closed column formwork inside the steel column and outside the I-beam. The bottom formwork, front formwork, rear formwork, closed column formwork, inclined formwork at the beam-column joint, and vertical formwork at the beam-column joint formwork form a closed space for concrete pouring. Step 6: Pour concrete at the truss beams with embedded I-beams and at the integral joints to form an integrated concrete structure of the truss beams and integral joints.
[0007] The pouring of concrete for truss beams with embedded I-beams and integral joints is carried out in layers. Generally, the layer height is 1.25 times the length of the working part of the immersion vibrator, the moving distance of the vibrator is not greater than 1.5 times the working radius of the vibrator, and the overlap between the upper and lower layers during layered vibration is not less than 50 mm.
[0008] The integral node structure of this invention can be designed by computer software and manufactured as a whole in the factory. By using a pre-reserved corbel interlocking frame, it solves the problem of difficult node connection positioning and welding caused by complex node forms and numerous stiffening plates in traditional construction. Welding the tie bolts on both sides to the pre-reserved interlocking frame can solve the problem of connecting the formwork and the steel beam, ensuring that the rigidity of the integral node is not compromised. Layered concrete pouring and vibration solve the problem of limited space and insufficient concrete pouring and vibration caused by complex node forms and numerous stiffening plates in traditional construction, thus improving construction quality and shortening the construction period.
