Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of prestressed pull-out pile construction, and in particular, it is a prestressed steel strand grouting and sealing system. Background Technology
[0002] The existing prestressed foundation piles are each equipped with six 21.8mm prestressed steel strands. After the prestressed piles are anchored into the foundation slab, and the prestressed steel strands are tensioned on the top surface of the slab, a working length of 100mm needs to be reserved. (See also...) Figure 1 As shown, the prestressed steel strands are slow-bonding steel strands. Each 21.8mm prestressed steel strand includes a central steel wire and two rings of peripheral steel wires surrounding the central steel strand, for a total of 19 steel wires. Each steel wire is coated with a slow-bonding adhesive, and finally, a PE pipe is used to form an outer shell. There are gaps between each steel wire within the steel strand bundle, and the outside is wrapped with PE pipe. Groundwater can easily seep upwards through the gaps between the steel wires and between the steel wires and the outer PE pipe, ultimately causing water seepage at the ends of the prestressed steel strands at the top of the prestressed tension pile.
[0003] Currently, the common approach to address water seepage in prestressed steel strands is to apply an external plastic coating for corrosion protection and then fill the gaps with structural material.
[0004] For example, publication number CN205975170U discloses a prestressed plastic-coated steel strand. This strand consists of a rubber layer extruded around a central steel wire, with outer steel wires tightly twisted around the rubber layer. The rubber layer is compressed to form a textured structure, extending into the gaps formed by the two tangential outer steel wires and the rubber layer. During the strand twisting process, the rubber layer deforms under the combined action of the outer and central steel wires, effectively filling the gaps between the outer and central steel wires and improving the internal density of the strand. This prevents water seepage from the gaps between the wires. However, after prestressing is applied, under the combined force of the central and peripheral steel wires, this structural filling often deforms simultaneously, potentially causing the rubber layer to be compressed into an ideal seal. This easily leads to new gaps, and the gaps between the peripheral steel wires and the outer plastic coating still exist, making it impossible to completely seal the ends of the prestressed steel strand.
[0005] Publication number CN211775123U discloses a sealing structure for a slow-setting bonded prestressed steel strand. This structure involves applying a sealing cap to the end of the steel strand, the cap containing a curing agent. The curing agent flows into the end of the steel strand to accelerate the curing of the slow-setting adhesive. A snap-fit structure is required between the sealing cap and the end of the steel strand to ensure a tight seal. This sealing cap provides external sealing to the steel strand, requiring a redesign of the strand structure to accommodate the cap. Furthermore, there is a risk of curing agent spillage, and it is impossible to monitor whether the curing agent completely fills the gaps between the wires at the end of the steel strand. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a grouting and sealing system for prestressed steel strands. This system aims to address the technical problem in existing prestressed steel strand length sealing measures where structural filling cannot be completely sealed under stress. It also aims to solve the problems of redesigning the steel strand structure and the cumbersome connection between the prefabricated sealing cap and the structure when using an external sealing cap. Furthermore, it addresses the technical problems of unmonitored curing agent overflow from the sealing cap and the degree of curing agent flow into the steel strand.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A prestressed steel strand grouting and sealing system includes a prestressed steel strand, a top grouting and sealing device, and a low-pressure grouting device. The top grouting and sealing device seals the top end of the prestressed steel strand.
[0009] The top grouting plug includes an integrally formed flexible sealing sleeve, which includes an upper receiving portion, a transition portion between the upper and lower portions, a lower sleeve portion, and a sleeve portion hose clamp.
[0010] The size of the receiving part is larger than the size of the socket part, and the size of the transition part is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The upper side connects to the receiving part, and the lower side connects to the socket part.
[0011] The top surface of the receiving part is provided with two functional pipes that communicate with the receiving part. The functional pipes are integrally formed with the flexible sealing sleeve. They are a low-pressure grouting pipe and an exhaust overflow observation pipe, respectively. The bottom of the low-pressure grouting device is connected to the top of the low-pressure grouting pipe. The low-pressure grouting device is set vertically. The receiving part and the transition part are filled with sealing material injected vertically downward by the low-pressure grouting device through the low-pressure grouting pipe. The part of the prestressed steel strand that penetrates into the receiving part is wrapped and sealed by the sealing material. The exhaust overflow observation pipe is also filled with sealing material and overflows.
[0012] The prestressed steel strand is in a state of bearing tension after being tensioned. The part of the prestressed steel strand that extends out of the prestressed anchor at the top of the pull-out prestressed foundation pile is the working section. The top grouting sealer seals the top part of the working section. The length of the working section that penetrates into the top grouting sealer is not less than 50mm.
[0013] The top of the working section extends from the socket part through the transition part to the insertion receiving part. The socket part's throat clamp ring sleeve seals the socket part and the working section on the outer periphery of the socket part.
[0014] The flexible sealing sleeve and functional tube are integrally molded from natural rubber.
[0015] Rubber sealing plugs are inserted into the low-pressure grouting pipe and the vent overflow observation pipe.
[0016] The low-pressure grouting pipe is located in the center of the top surface of the receiving part, and the exhaust overflow observation pipe is located at the edge of the top surface of the receiving part. The height of the low-pressure grouting pipe is greater than the height of the exhaust overflow observation pipe.
[0017] The size of the receiving part is larger than that of the socket part. The receiving part is a large-diameter cylinder, and the transition part is an inverted frustum-shaped cone. The socket part is a small-diameter cylinder. The inner diameter of the socket part is larger than the outer diameter of the prestressed steel strand. The wall thickness of the receiving part is smaller than that of the socket part, and the wall thickness of the receiving part is also smaller than that of the functional tube.
[0018] The sealing material is modified polyurethane or modified epoxy resin.
[0019] The hose clamp of the socket is made of stainless steel.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following features and beneficial effects:
[0021] This utility model designs a flexible sealing sleeve to fit over the top of the prestressed steel bar, and uses a low-pressure grouting device to inject grout into the sleeve. Combined with the waterproofing capabilities of sealing materials such as modified polyurethane or modified epoxy resin, the grouting seal of the steel strand ends is completed, preventing subsequent water leakage and greatly alleviating the problem of underground leakage that is currently a major concern in the construction industry.
[0022] Compared with the structural improvements of prestressed steel strands in the prior art, this utility model adopts external sealing, and the sealing material forms a solid body inside the flexible sealing sleeve, which ensures that the prestressed steel strands can be completely sealed even under stress, and ensures that there will be no water leakage.
[0023] This application describes the external injection of sealing material into a flexible sealing sleeve. It employs two functional tubes: one for grouting, which, compared to existing technologies that pre-fill with curing agent, ensures complete sealing of the top of the prestressed steel strands; and the other serves as an venting and overflow observation tube, ensuring the monitorability of the compactness within the flexible sealing sleeve after grouting. The bottom of the flexible sealing sleeve is locked in place by a hose clamp at the joint, preventing sealant overflow. After construction, a rubber sealing plug is used to seal the functional tubes, allowing for further construction steps and subsequent direct burial.
[0024] This utility model's process can be completed by only one operator, which not only solves the problem of leakage in prestressed steel strands but also significantly improves on-site construction efficiency. It is safe, applicable, and has great promotional and practical value. Its application will generate good economic and social benefits.
[0025] This utility model is applicable to the pre-sealing of water seepage at the end of the pre-reserved steel strand at the top of prestressed tension piles or the sealing treatment of water seepage at the end of the prestressed steel strand tensioning. Attached Figure Description

There are gaps between the peripheral steel wires 10 and between the peripheral steel wires 10 and the central steel wire 9. The steel wires are covered with a PE pipe shell 11.
[0033] See the examples. Figure 2-4 As shown, a prestressed steel strand grouting and sealing system includes a prestressed steel strand 6, a top grouting and sealing device, and a low-pressure grouting device 1.
[0034] Prestressed steel strand 6 extends beyond the prestressed tension pile. The prestressed foundation pile is 23.5 meters long and 0.7 meters in diameter, with six steel strands of diameter D=21.8mm per pile. The prestressed steel strand 6 is in a tensioned state. After the prestressed tension pile is anchored into the foundation slab, the prestressed steel strand is tensioned at the top surface of the foundation slab, leaving a working length of 100mm. That is, the part of the prestressed steel strand 6 extending beyond the prestressed anchor 7 at the top of the tension prestressed foundation pile is the working section 61, with a length H of 100mm. The top of the working section 61 is sealed by a top grouting sealer.

[0038] The top of the working section 61 extends from the socket 23 through the transition section 22 to the insertion receiving section 21. The socket hose clamp 24, annularly sleeved around the outer periphery of the socket 23, seals the socket 23 and the working section 61. In this embodiment, the socket hose clamp 24 is a stainless steel clamp.
[0039] The top surface of the receiving part 21 is provided with two functional tubes that communicate with the receiving part 21. The functional tubes are integrally formed with the flexible sealing sleeve. In this embodiment, the flexible sealing sleeve 2 and the functional tubes are integrally formed with natural rubber. There must be no defects such as cracks or sand holes to ensure the sealing performance of the plug.
[0040] The functional pipes are a low-pressure grouting pipe 3 and an exhaust overflow observation pipe 4. The bottom of the low-pressure grouting device 1 is connected to the top of the low-pressure grouting pipe 3. The low-pressure grouting device 1 is vertically arranged. The low-pressure grouting pipe 3 is located at the center of the top surface of the receiving part 21. The exhaust overflow observation pipe 4 is located at the edge of the top surface of the receiving part 21. The height of the low-pressure grouting pipe 3 is greater than the height of the exhaust overflow observation pipe 4. The wall thickness of the receiving part 21 is also less than the wall thickness of the functional pipes.
[0041] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the functional tube is 3mm; the functional tube is a variable cross-section tube, with the diameter e of the enlarged top section being 14mm and the diameter f of the remaining part being 10mm.
[0042] The receiving section 21 and the transition section 22 are filled with sealing material 5 injected vertically downwards through the low-pressure grouting pipe 3 by the low-pressure grouting device 1.

[0045] Step 2: First, insert the prestressed steel strand 6 through the bottom sleeve part 23, with the steel strand inserted 50mm. Then, tighten and lock the sleeve part hose clamp 24 of the sleeve part 23.
[0046] Step 3: Use the low-pressure grouting device 1 to connect to the top grouting port of the low-pressure grouting pipe 3 to grout the sealing material 5. Wait until the venting and overflow observation pipe 4 starts to vent and finally obvious overflow occurs, then stop grouting.
[0047] Step 4: Use the matching rubber sealing plug 8 to tightly seal the openings of the vent overflow observation pipe 4 and the low-pressure grouting pipe 3.
[0048] Step 5: After the sealing material 5 inside the flexible sealing sleeve 2 has solidified, the top grouting and sealing work of the prestressed steel strand is completed.
