[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Refer to Figures 1 to 2, a prefabricated UHPC beam joint is proposed, including: a main body 1, the main body 1 also has a connecting end face 101, the connecting end face 101 is inclined and arranged at one end of the main body 1, there are multiple key grooves 2, and the multiple key grooves 2 are arranged in an array on the connecting end face 101. The key groove 2 has a groove bottom 201 and an opening 202, the shape of the groove bottom 201 is the same as the shape of the opening 202, the shape area of the opening 202 is larger than the shape area of the groove bottom 201, the shapes of the groove bottom 201 and the opening 202 are polygons and all polygon angles are obtuse angles. The shape size of the opening 202 is an equi-proportion increase of the shape size of the groove bottom 201, and the groove bottom 201 and the opening 202 are hexagons. The key groove 2 has an upper groove surface 203, a lower groove surface 204 and side groove surfaces 205, the side groove surfaces 205 are located on both sides of the extending direction of the upper groove surface 203 towards the lower groove surface 204, and each side has at least two interconnected side groove surfaces 205, and the included angle between the side groove surface 205 and the groove bottom 201 is an obtuse angle. The included angles between several side groove surfaces 205 and the groove bottom 201 are all the same. The included angle between the upper groove surface 203 and the groove bottom 201 is an obtuse angle, and the angle is greater than the included angle between the side groove surface 205 and the groove bottom 201. The included angle between the lower groove surface 204 and the groove bottom 201 is an obtuse angle, and the angle is less than the included angle between the side groove surface 205 and the groove bottom 201. The upper dimension of the groove bottom 201 is smaller than the lower dimension. The shape of the groove bottom 201 is symmetric about the left and right.

[0027] In this embodiment, the shapes of the groove bottom 201 and the opening 202 are the same, but the area of the opening 202 is larger than the area of the groove bottom 201, which means that when inserting the precast beam, the joint surface of the precast beam will form a tight fit with the key groove 2. This design can increase the contact area, thereby improving the connection friction and shear strength. The obtuse angle design reduces the stress concentration points, improves the overall shear resistance, and improves the overall durability and crack resistance of the joint. The design that the area of the opening 202 is larger than the area of the groove bottom 201 forms a gradually changing cross-section, which helps the concrete to better fill the key groove 2 during the pouring process. The gradually changing cross-section can reduce the formation of air bubbles and improve the pouring density. When using UHPC (high-performance concrete), this design can further enhance the self-compacting effect, ensure that the concrete fully fills the key groove 2, and reduce voids and air bubbles.

[0028] The keyway 2 has an upper groove surface 203, a lower groove surface 204 and side groove surfaces 205. The side groove surfaces 205 are located on both sides of the upper groove surface 203 extending towards the lower groove surface 204. Each side has at least two interconnected side groove surfaces 205. The angle between the side groove surface 205 and the groove bottom 201 is an obtuse angle. The angles between several side groove surfaces 205 and the groove bottom 201 are all the same. The angle between the upper groove surface 203 and the groove bottom 201 is an obtuse angle, and the angle is greater than the angle between the side groove surface 205 and the groove bottom 201. The angle between the lower groove surface 204 and the groove bottom 201 is an obtuse angle, and the angle is less than the angle between the side groove surface 205 and the groove bottom 201. And the shapes of the groove bottom 201 and the opening 202 are symmetric about the left and right. The upper dimension of the groove bottom 201 is smaller than the lower dimension of the groove bottom 201, and the same is true for the opening 202. Therefore, the overall forms an asymmetric spindle-shaped structure. The asymmetric spindle-shaped connection surface can form a shear-resistant connection key and can also prevent the generation of air bubbles on the contact surface. The asymmetric spindle-shaped shear-resistant connection key can increase the roughness of the wet connection surface, increase the contact area. The precast beam is connected through the UHPC wet connection joint, which is convenient for connection and can be applied to the connection of beams with any included angle.

[0029] Considering the pouring process, which is from bottom to top, the lower dimension of the groove bottom 201 is larger, and the inclination angle of the lower groove surface 204 is the smallest, so it is easier to fill and the support is more stable. The upper dimension of the groove bottom 201 is smaller, and the inclination angle of the upper groove surface 203 is larger, making it easier to compact the upper part during pouring and avoiding the generation of air bubbles.

[0030] The lower dimension of the groove bottom 201 is designed to be larger, which can provide a larger space to accommodate the initially poured concrete. The larger lower dimension helps to ensure that the concrete can flow smoothly and fill the entire bottom area. With a certain overall area of the groove bottom 201, it increases the contact area at the bottom, thus improving the overall stability. The inclination angle of the lower groove surface 204 is designed to be the smallest, so that during the upward flow of the concrete, it can move more smoothly along the lower groove surface 204, avoiding the flow resistance and air bubble accumulation caused by a steep slope. The gentle inclination angle also helps the concrete to form a stable support structure at the bottom, improving the overall stability. The upper dimension of the groove bottom 201 is designed to be smaller. The smaller upper dimension helps to gradually reduce the flow space of the concrete during pouring, thus forcing the concrete to fill the keyway 2 more tightly. This design reduces the voids in the upper area and improves the compaction degree of the pouring. The inclination angle of the upper groove surface 203 is designed to be larger, which means that the upper groove surface 203 is a relatively steep slope. This design enables the concrete to cover the entire surface faster when filling the upper part, and due to the larger inclination angle, the concrete is easier to compact, reducing the generation of air bubbles. The larger inclination angle also promotes the upward discharge of air bubbles in the concrete, further improving the pouring quality.

[0031] The larger lower dimension and the gentle inclination angle of the lower groove surface 204 enable the concrete to fill the bottom more smoothly during the upward flow process, reducing the flow resistance. The gentle lower groove surface 204 provides stable support, ensuring the uniform distribution and stability of the bottom concrete, and providing a solid foundation for the upper casting. The smaller upper dimension and the larger inclination angle of the upper groove surface 203 prompt the concrete to fill more tightly in the upper area, reducing the generation of air bubbles. At the same time, the larger inclination angle helps the air bubbles to discharge upward, improving the compactness of the casting. The trapezoidal cross-section design enables the concrete to be gradually compressed during the filling process, ensuring that the concrete in the entire keyway 2 can reach a high degree of compactness, thereby improving the connection strength and durability.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] Different from Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the number of sides of the groove bottom 201 and the opening 202 is ≥7, that is, a heptagon or above. Preferably, the number of sides is an even number, and the side edges are symmetric about the center line, ensuring the uniformity of the keyway 2 in all directions, thereby improving the uniformity and compactness of the casting.
