Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of energy-saving ecological bridge construction, in particular to a spring-type steel bar joint. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, prefabricated concrete structures have been widely promoted and applied due to their advantages, including high industrialization, rapid construction, high-quality building products, and environmental benefits. However, steel bar connections are crucial for the integrity, safety, and reliability of prefabricated structures. Existing methods for connecting steel bars primarily include binding, welding, and mechanical connections. Binding connections have limited application. For example, longitudinal reinforcement bars in axially tensioned and slightly eccentrically tensioned members cannot be spliced using binding. Furthermore, the reinforcement in the splice area occupies excessive cross-sectional area, consumes a large amount of steel, and has poor force transmission performance. Welding connections require specialized construction equipment, materials, and skilled labor, resulting in long labor hours, high energy consumption, low quality assurance, a high incidence of defective products, and significant material waste. Mechanical connections include threaded sleeves, tapered sleeves, and sleeve extrusion. However, sleeve processing is expensive and inconvenient. Therefore, to address these existing problems with steel bar connections in engineering projects, developing a new rebar joint method that is reliable, affordable, easy to construct, and energy-efficient and emission-reducing is of great theoretical and practical significance.
