Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of concrete construction, in particular to a post-tensioning method and structure of prestressed cable for mass concrete. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mass concrete will produce internal and external temperature difference due to cement hydration heat, and will shrink after cooling. Both of these two effects will produce tensile stress, which will cause cracks in concrete, affect structural stiffness and durability. By setting prestressed cable in mass concrete, the compressive stress applied by the prestressed cable can directly offset part of the tensile stress, preventing cracks from occurring or expanding. In structures such as bridges, dams, and large pipe corridors, prestressed cable can make the concrete structure bear greater load, while reducing the size of the structure section and saving materials.

[0003] The commonly used prestressed cable construction methods are pre-tensioning and post-tensioning. The post-tensioning method is to apply pre-compressive stress to the concrete by tensioning the prestressed cable after the mass concrete is poured and reaches the design strength. It can accurately control the structural stress, and the pressure can be directly transmitted to the stabilized component during tensioning, avoiding stress loss due to unhardened concrete. The post-tensioning method can flexibly arrange the cable hole and cable body direction according to the shape and stress demand of the mass concrete component. The tensioning process of the post-tensioning method is carried out after the concrete is poured, which will not conflict with the pouring and vibrating processes, and is suitable for large and complex concrete components.

[0004] In the prior art, before pouring the mass concrete, metal or plastic corrugated pipes are pre-buried at the designed positions to form the tensioning channel of the cable body. However, during construction, the pre-buried corrugated pipes may be damaged, causing blockage due to slurry leakage, and the steel reinforcement may collide with the corrugated pipes, causing deviation, which in turn leads to difficulties in cable threading and non-compact grouting.
