Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building structure reinforcement, and in particular to a modular reinforcement device and method for opening a large hole in a concrete structural beam, which is suitable for structural reinforcement of concrete beams in projects such as industrial and civil building renovation and pipeline crossing. Background Art

[0002] In building function renovation or pipeline laying projects, it is often necessary to open large-sized openings in concrete beams (the opening size usually exceeds 1 / 3 of the beam section height), such as Figure 1 However, randomly opening holes will significantly weaken the cross-sectional stiffness and bearing capacity of concrete beams, leading to crack expansion around the holes, increased deformation of the beam body, and even structural safety accidents. Existing reinforcement technologies mostly use on-site welding of steel casings combined with U-shaped hoop plates, but this has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Low construction efficiency: Steel casing and U-shaped hoop plates need to be cut and welded on-site, with welding accounting for over 70% of the workload. Welding is significantly affected by ambient temperature and humidity, and welding quality is difficult to guarantee in low-temperature environments.

[0004] 2. Weak interface force transmission: The steel casing and concrete are only bonded by structural adhesive, and the shear stiffness is insufficient. The measured interface slip can reach 0.3mm, which can easily lead to stress concentration.

[0005] 3. Low degree of modularity: On-site operations rely on manual assembly, component dimensional accuracy is poor, adaptability to irregular openings is weak, and large-scale application is impossible.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a prefabricated, modular reinforcement device and method to improve construction efficiency and structural safety. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In response to the problems of complex construction and poor interface force transmission in the existing technology for reinforcing concrete structural beams with large holes, the present invention provides a modular reinforcement device and method for reinforcing concrete structural beams with large holes. Through prefabricated component design and standardized construction technology, efficient assembly and reliable force bearing of the reinforced structure are achieved, meeting the safety requirements of building renovation projects.

[0008] The above-mentioned object of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0009] A modular reinforcement device for large holes in concrete structural beams, comprising a prefabricated split steel casing assembly and a welded U-shaped hoop module. The prefabricated split steel casing assembly comprises four prefabricated L-shaped steel plates (8-12 mm thick), each with ribs spaced 50-150 mm apart and 3-8 mm high machined on the outside. The ribs enhance mechanical engagement with the concrete. The four L-shaped steel plates are bolted together to form an annular restraining casing.

[0010] The welded U-shaped hoop module is a U-shaped frame welded from a bottom plate (8-14mm thick) and two vertical plates (6-12mm thick). Anchor holes are opened on the vertical plates, and stiffening steel plates (6-10mm thick) are symmetrically welded on the outside of the two vertical plates.

[0011] Pre-set glue injection holes (10mm in diameter, 200mm in spacing) and exhaust holes (8mm in diameter) are opened on the concrete beam. If necessary, they can also be opened on the steel casing and U-shaped hoop plate to ensure that the glue is fully filled.

[0012] Furthermore, fixing pin inserts are provided on both sides of the L-shaped steel plate ends. The fixing pin inserts ensure assembly accuracy and prevent the expansion of cracks in the hole. Bolt connection holes are opened on the fixing pin inserts. The four L-shaped steel plates are connected and fixed with bolts through the fixing pin inserts. The pre-tightening force of the bolts is 100-160N·m.

[0013] Furthermore, the middle sleeve of the bolt is provided with a plurality of steel washers, through which the length and width of the steel sleeve can be adjusted to meet the needs of holes of different sizes.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the vertical plate is 1.2-1.8 times higher than the height of the opening.

[0015] Furthermore, the spacing of the anchor holes is 100-150mm, the diameter d of the chemical anchor is 12-18mm, and a modified epoxy resin structural hose is used. The anchoring depth is ≥10d (d is the diameter of the chemical anchor), and the design value of the single-bolt pull-out bearing capacity is ≥10kN.

[0016] Furthermore, a modified epoxy resin structural adhesive is injected into the preset glue injection hole, with a bonding strength of ≥10MPa, and can be cured in an environment above 5°C.

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide a modular reinforcement method for a concrete structural beam with a large hole, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Finite element analysis was used to determine that the unloading capacity was 30%-50% of the design load. The unloading was carried out in stages using hydraulic jacks, with each stage holding the load for 20 minutes and the displacement deviation controlled to be ≤3mm. The split steel casing components and welded U-shaped hoop plate modules were prefabricated in the factory, with a pre-assembly error of ≤2mm.

[0019] Insert four L-shaped steel plates into the hole, temporarily fix them with fixing pins, and tighten the bolts in diagonal order to form a ring-shaped constraint sleeve. Set several steel washers in the middle as needed. Use these steel washers to adjust the length and width of the steel sleeve to meet the needs of holes of different sizes.

[0020] Fit the bottom plate to the bottom surface of the beam, weld the vertical plate to the bottom plate, and ensure the weld height is ≥6mm; symmetrically weld stiffening steel plates on the outside of the vertical plate with a spacing of 200mm to form a three-dimensional force system;

[0021] Drill holes at the corresponding locations of the anchor holes, clean the holes and implant chemical anchors. After curing for 24 hours, perform a pull-out test. The design value of the pull-out bearing capacity of a single bolt is ≥10kN.

[0022] Inject modified epoxy resin structural adhesive from the lowest preset injection hole, control the pressure at 0.2-0.3MPa, until the air vent overflows with bubble-free adhesive, maintain the pressure for 5 minutes and then seal the hole. The adhesive layer thickness should be 2-3mm.

[0023] The load on the upper part of the beam was restored in stages (30%→70%→100%), with each stage holding the load for 1 hour. The strain increment was monitored to be ≤30με and the mid-span deflection ≤L / 400. Finally, a 1.2 times overload test was carried out, and no structural abnormalities were found after holding the load for 2 hours.

[0024] Furthermore, the pre-tightening force of the bolt is 100-160N·m.

[0025] Furthermore, the height of the vertical plate is 1.2-1.8 times higher than the height of the opening.

[0026] Furthermore, the diameter d of the chemical anchor is 12-18 mm, the anchoring depth is ≥10 d, and the design value of the pull-out bearing capacity of a single bolt is ≥10 kN.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0028] 1. Prefabricated design: Steel casing and U-shaped hoop plates are prefabricated in the factory, with an on-site assembly rate of 85%, reducing welding workload by 60% and increasing construction efficiency by 50%;

[0029] 2. Combined force transmission system: The steel casing ribs and structural adhesive form a "mechanical bite + bonding" dual force transmission system, which increases the interface shear strength by 35%;

[0030] 3. Dimensional reinforcement structure: The U-shaped hoop plate forms a spatial force system through the reinforced steel plate, and the shear bearing capacity is increased by 30% compared with the traditional process.

[0031] 4. Performance improvement: flexural bearing capacity is increased by 35%-45%, shear bearing capacity is increased by 25%-35%, and crack width is controlled within 0.1mm;

[0032] 5. Shortened cycle: 30% shorter than traditional process, and overall cost reduced by 20%;

[0033] 6. Strong adaptability: It can be used in environments above 5°C, and welding fume emissions are reduced by 50%, meeting the requirements of green construction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0055] 4. Process flow of modular processing method

[0056] Finite element analysis was used to determine the load to be unloaded to 25kN, and the load was unloaded in stages using hydraulic jacks, with each stage holding the load for 20 minutes.
