Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-carbon building technology, and in particular to a prefabricated bamboo-based solid concrete beam. Background Technology

[0002] For a long time, reinforced concrete has been the primary material used in the construction industry. While this structure boasts high strength and stability, it also presents the problem of high carbon emissions. Firstly, its production requires a large amount of energy, generating substantial carbon dioxide emissions. Secondly, its high thermal conductivity results in significant energy consumption for heating and cooling during operation. To reduce carbon emissions, it is necessary to develop building materials that use less cement and steel reinforcement while providing thermal insulation. Currently, a large number of insulated wall materials have been developed, but insulated products are rarely seen for load-bearing components like beams.

[0003] Studies have shown that bamboo possesses high strength, is easy to process, and has significantly lower thermal conductivity than steel, while also posing no carbon emission issues. Other research indicates that foamed concrete has low cement consumption, low density, good thermal insulation performance, and is easy to pour and construct; aerated concrete and foamed concrete have even lower carbon emissions and are easier to prefabricate. Therefore, this presents the possibility of comprehensively utilizing bamboo, aerated concrete, and foamed concrete to produce low-carbon and environmentally friendly insulated beam components.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a prefabricated bamboo-based solid concrete beam, which, from the outside to the inside, includes a foamed concrete insulation outer shell layer 1, a bamboo mesh layer 2, a concrete load-bearing layer 3, and an aerated concrete inner core 4. The foamed concrete insulation outer shell layer 1 provides good thermal insulation performance, helping to reduce energy loss in buildings. The bamboo mesh layer 2 enhances the overall strength and toughness of the structure, while using renewable bamboo materials, making it environmentally friendly and economical. The concrete load-bearing layer 3 serves as the main load-bearing component, ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the solid beam structure. The aerated concrete inner core 4 reduces the overall weight while maintaining good thermal and sound insulation performance.

[0033] The thickness of the foamed concrete insulation outer shell layer 1 is 40mm, and the density is 1200kg / m³. 3 It has a strength of 8MPa and a thermal conductivity of 0.25W / (m·K). It is made of foam and concrete, which reduces the thermal conductivity of concrete and has a good thermal insulation effect.

[0034] The second layer of bamboo mesh is woven from cross-woven horizontal and vertical bamboo strips. The width of the bamboo strips is 7mm, the thickness is 3mm, and the weave gap size of the horizontal and vertical bamboo strips is 0.2mm×0.2mm. The bamboo strips need to be pre-treated for preservation, that is, soaked in borax solution and then dried.

[0035] The concrete load-bearing layer 3 includes longitudinal reinforcing bars 5, bamboo-reinforced stirrups 6, and infill concrete 7 poured outside the longitudinal reinforcing bars 5 and stirrups. The combination of longitudinal reinforcing bars 5 and bamboo-reinforced stirrups 6 enhances the beam's bending resistance and overall stability, while the infill concrete 7 poured on the outside further strengthens the structure.

[0036] The longitudinal reinforcing bars 5 include longitudinal reinforcing steel bars 8 and longitudinal reinforcing bamboo bars 9. The longitudinal reinforcing steel bars 8 are placed inside the four corners of the bamboo bar stirrups 6, and the longitudinal reinforcing bamboo bars 9 are placed inside the bamboo bar stirrups 6. The longitudinal reinforcing steel bars 8 provide high tensile strength, while the longitudinal reinforcing bamboo bars 9 have good toughness. Both are tied to the bamboo bar stirrups 6 to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure.

[0037] The longitudinal reinforcing bars 8 are made of 18mm diameter threaded steel bars. The longitudinal reinforcing bamboo bars 9 have a cross-section of 40mm long and 20mm wide. The horizontal net spacing between the longitudinal reinforcing bars 8 and the longitudinal reinforcing bamboo bars 9, as well as the horizontal net spacing between the longitudinal reinforcing bamboo bars 9, are both 50mm.

[0038] The longitudinally stressed bamboo reinforcement 9 is surrounded by a first bamboo fiber thread wound clockwise in a spiral. The angle between the first bamboo fiber thread and the longitudinal axis of the bamboo reinforcement section is 15°, and the pitch of the first bamboo fiber thread is 13mm. This optimizes stress distribution and improves shear resistance. The diameter of the first bamboo fiber thread is 3mm, and its surface is coated with epoxy resin, which improves the durability and corrosion resistance of the first bamboo fiber thread, while also enhancing its adhesion to concrete.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the bamboo reinforcement stirrup 6 has a cross-sectional length of 24mm and a cross-sectional width of 10mm. The bamboo reinforcement stirrup 6 is arranged along the longitudinal reinforcing bar 5 with a spacing of 100mm. The top outer side of the bamboo reinforcement stirrup 6 is filled with 22mm thick concrete 7, enhancing the top's compressive strength and overall stability. The bottom and left and right sides are not filled with concrete 7, but are provided with a foamed concrete insulation shell layer 1. Two rows of grooves 11 are provided along the length direction on both the inner and outer sides of the bamboo reinforcement stirrup 6. The angle between the groove direction 11 and the length direction of the bamboo reinforcement stirrup 6 is 45°, which optimizes stress distribution and improves shear resistance. The grooves 11 are spaced 13mm apart, 2mm deep, and 4mm wide. The grooves 11 are filled with a second bamboo fiber yarn 12, quartz sand, and epoxy resin. The grooves 11 have protrusions formed by the second bamboo fiber yarn 12, quartz sand, and epoxy resin, with a height of 1mm, increasing the contact area with the filling concrete 7 and providing additional strength, wear resistance, and durability. The second bamboo fiber yarn 12 is wound clockwise in a spiral along the length of the bamboo reinforcement 6. The diameter of the second bamboo fiber yarn 12 is 4mm and its pitch is 13mm.

[0040] The filler concrete 7 consists of concrete and bamboo fiber. The concrete has a strength of 40 MPa, and the volume fraction of bamboo fiber is 1% of the concrete. The bamboo fiber has a diameter of 200 μm, a length of 30 mm, a tensile strength of 1.5 GPa, an elastic modulus of 71 GPa, and a density of 1.36 g / cm³. 3 Bamboo fiber requires pretreatment to enhance its spatial dispersibility and interfacial bonding performance with concrete. The specific steps include: Cutting purchased 4-5 year old bamboo with a diameter at breast height (DBH) of 100mm or more into strips 340mm long, 15mm wide, and 8mm thick; softening the bamboo strips by steaming them in a boiling water bath for 1 hour; then microwaving the softened bamboo strips for 15 minutes to remove moisture and improve fiber dispersibility, preparing for subsequent chemical treatment. The physically treated bamboo fiber is then soaked in a mixed solution of 30% hydrogen peroxide and 88% formic acid to remove lignin and hemicellulose. Subsequently, it is soaked in a 2.0g / L polydopamine solution, dried in a hot air circulating kiln to improve interfacial bonding performance, and finally soaked in epoxy resin and air-dried to enhance weather resistance and service life.

[0041] The aerated concrete core 4 is elliptical, with the ratio of its major axis to its minor axis equal to the height-to-width ratio of the concrete load-bearing layer 3. The distance from its four vertices to the bamboo reinforcement stirrups 6 is 60mm, and its density is 450kg / m³. 3 It has a strength of 2.3 MPa and a thermal conductivity of 0.12 W / (m·K).

[0042] The aerated concrete core 4 has a perforation 10 inside. The center of the perforation 10 is located at the midpoint of the major axis radius of the aerated concrete core 4. The wall of the perforation 10 is made of PVC pipe and the diameter of the perforation 10 is 20mm. The perforation 10 can be used to fix the position of the core during production, can be used for lifting during installation, and also plays a role in heat insulation, reducing the thermal conductivity of the solid beam.

[0043] Therefore, this utility model adopts the above-mentioned prefabricated bamboo concrete solid beam, which has the dual advantages of low carbon emissions during production and thermal insulation during operation, thus promoting the development of low-carbon buildings.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
