Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a masonry structure lintel supported by angle steel and reinforced with steel tie rods, belonging to the technical field of comprehensive renovation of old residential areas. Background Technology
[0002] For existing masonry lintel cracks, pressure grouting is typically used for reinforcement. Pressure grouting uses compressed air to inject cement-polymer grout into cracks, incomplete mortar joints, holes, and loose or unstable masonry structures. This restores the structural integrity, improves the strength and durability of the masonry structure, and enhances its waterproofing and seepage resistance. Verified by multiple earthquakes, this method is safe and reliable, significantly improving structural ductility and resistance to collapse. Cement-polymer grout is the most commonly used masonry grout; it is made by adding a certain amount of colloidal suspending agent to pure cement slurry to improve its bonding ability, injectability, and overall strength. Before pressure grouting, cracks in masonry lintels should be reinforced. This is usually done by using angle steel supports, steel tie rods, and gusset plates around the cracks to support the tensile stress generated by the pressure grouting. This utility model mainly uses angle steel supports, steel tie rods, and gusset plates to reinforce the cracks in the lintels of masonry structures, and then performs pressure grouting to reinforce the cracks. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model proposes a method for reinforcing masonry lintels using angle steel supports and steel tie rods. It primarily addresses the reinforcement of existing masonry lintel cracks using pressure grouting. The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0004] A type of lintel for masonry structures reinforced with angle steel supports and steel tie rods, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the structure includes angle steel supports, connecting plates, steel tie rods, and through-wall bolts. The angle steel supports are installed at the lower part of the crack in the masonry structure lintel, and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower part of the original lintel. Each end of the angle steel support extends 250mm along the wall to form an angle steel support support section, and one flange of the angle steel support support section is embedded in the mortar joint of the wall, with the embedding depth being the height of the flange. The connecting plates are arranged close to the angle steel supports, with a spacing of one plate every 300mm, for connecting the angle steel supports on both sides of the lower part of the lintel. The connecting plates are welded to the angle steel supports. The steel tie rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the original lintel. One end of the steel tie rod is welded to the angle steel support, and the other end is fastened to the steel tie rod on the other side of the lintel by a nut through the through-wall bolt. After all the angle steel supports, connecting plates, steel tie rods, and through-wall bolts are installed, cement polymer grout is injected into the crack.
[0005] Furthermore, the angle steel support is made of L50×5 equilateral angle steel.
[0006] Furthermore, the gusset plate is a Q235B steel plate with a thickness of 5mm and a width of 40mm.
[0007] Furthermore, the through-wall bolts are M10 bolts, and the diameter of the holes drilled in the original structural beams is 12mm.
[0008] Furthermore, the steel tie rod is a Q235B steel plate with a thickness of 5mm and a width of 50mm. One end of the steel tie rod has a pre-drilled mounting hole for installing through-wall bolts with a diameter of 12mm.
[0009] Furthermore, the cement used in the cement polymer grouting liquid is ordinary Portland cement with a strength grade of 42.5, the sand is fine sand with a particle size of ≤0.5mm, and the water is drinking water or natural clean water.
[0010] The specific implementation steps of the above-mentioned method for reinforcing masonry lintels with angle steel supports and steel tie rods are as follows:
[0011] Step 1: Provide temporary support for the cracked lintel.
[0012] Step 2: Remove the plaster layer from the wall and lintel, and remove the mortar from the 250mm long horizontal joint of the angle steel support section.
[0013] Step 3: Drill through-wall bolt holes with a diameter of 12mm and blow away the dust.
[0014] Step 4: Install the angle steel supports on both sides of the lower part of the masonry structure lintel. Apply cement polymer grout to the joint surface between the angle steel support and the lower part of the lintel and the wall, with a thickness of 3-5mm. Fill the chisel joint with cement polymer grout, then attach and embed the angle steel support and press it firmly.
[0015] Step 5: Weld the gusset plate to the angle steel support.
[0016] Step 6: After securing the steel tie rods on both sides of the lintel with M10 through-wall bolts, weld the other end of the steel tie rod to the angle steel support.
[0017] Step 7: Pressure grouting is performed on the cracks in the walls and lintels. Cement polymer grout is injected, and after standing for 1-2 days, the temporary supports are removed.
[0018] Step 8: Apply rust prevention treatment to exposed angle steel supports, gusset plates, steel tie rods, through-wall bolts, etc.
[0019] Beneficial effects:
[0020] Using angle steel supports and steel tie rods to reinforce cracks in masonry lintels can withstand the tensile stress generated by pressure grouting reinforcement. This method is simple to construct, safe and reliable, and can improve the ductility of the structure and enhance its resistance to collapse. At the same time, it saves on the amount of work, saves on engineering materials, and reduces the project cost. This method is one of the most cost-effective seismic reinforcement methods for existing masonry lintel cracks. Attached Figure Description
