Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0016] <First Embodiment> Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a first embodiment in which a rigid joint structure between beam members and a method for transporting beam members used in the rigid joint structure are embodied will be described.
[0017] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rigid joint structure between beam members includes a first beam member 10 that is an H-shaped steel, two second beam members 20 that are H-shaped steels, two gusset plates 30 that are made of steel, a lower plate 40 that is made of steel, and an upper plate 50 that is made of steel.
[0018] <First Beam Member 10> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first beam member 10 has a first lower flange 11, a first upper flange 12 positioned above the first lower flange 11, and a first web 13 connecting the first lower flange 11 and the first upper flange 12. The first beam member 10 is a main beam.
[0019] <Second beam member 20> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the two second beam members 20 are respectively connected to both side portions of the first beam member 10.
[0020] The second beam member 20 has a second lower flange 21, a second upper flange 22 positioned above the second lower flange 21, and a second web 23 connecting the second lower flange 21 and the second upper flange 22.
[0021] The beam formation of the second beam member 20, that is, the dimension in the vertical direction, is the same as that of the first beam member 10. The lower surface of the second lower flange 21 is on the same plane as the lower surface of the first lower flange 11. The upper surface of the second upper flange 22 is on the same plane as the upper surface of the first upper flange 12.
[0022] The second beam member 20 is a secondary beam. <Gusset plate 30> As shown in FIG. 2, the gusset plate 30 is welded to the side surface of the first web 13, the upper surface of the first lower flange 11 continuous with the same side surface, and the lower surface of the first upper flange 12 continuous with the same side surface.
[0023] In this embodiment, the gusset plate 30 is provided on one side surface of the first web 13. The gusset plate 30 and the second web 23 of the second beam member 20 are connected by a connecting bolt 60.
[0024] <Upper plate 50> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper plate 50 is overlapped on the upper surfaces of the first upper flange 12 and the two second upper flanges 22.
[0025] As shown in Fig. 1, the upper plate 50 of the present embodiment is rectangular in plan view. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the upper plate 50 and the second upper flange 22 are connected by main upper bolts 63.
[0026] A plurality of main upper bolts 63 are provided for one second upper flange 22. In the present embodiment, eight main upper bolts 63 are provided, four on each side in the width direction of the second beam member 20 (the vertical direction in Fig. 1 and the direction perpendicular to the paper surface in Fig. 2) with respect to one second upper flange 22. Note that the number of main upper bolts 63 is not limited to that shown in these figures.
[0027] The upper plate 50 and the first upper flange 12 are connected by sub-upper bolts 64. In the present embodiment, four sub-upper bolts 64 are provided, two on each side in the width direction of the first beam member 10 (the left-right direction in Figs. 1 and 2). Note that the number of sub-upper bolts 64 is not limited to that shown in these figures.
[0028] As shown in Fig. 1, the sub-upper bolts 64 are provided at positions corresponding to the four corners of a square whose one side and the other side extend along the extending direction of the first beam member 10 (the vertical direction in Fig. 1) and the extending direction of the second beam member 20 (the left-right direction in Fig. 1), respectively.
[0029] <Lower plate 40> As shown in Fig. 2, the lower plate 40 is overlapped on the lower surfaces of the first lower flange 11 and the two second lower flanges 21. The lower plate 40 has the same shape and size as the upper plate 50.
[0030] The lower plate 40 and the second lower flange 21 are connected by main lower bolts 61. A plurality of main lower bolts 61 are provided for one second lower flange 21. In the present embodiment, four main lower bolts 61 are provided on each of both sides in the width direction of the second beam member 20 (the vertical direction in FIG. 1 and the direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 2), for a total of eight. Note that the number of main lower bolts 61 is not limited to that shown in these figures.
[0031] The lower plate 40 and the first lower flange 11 are connected by sub-lower bolts 62. In the present embodiment, two sub-lower bolts 62 are provided on each of both sides in the width direction of the first beam member 10 (the left-right direction in FIGS. 1 and 2), for a total of four. Note that the number of sub-lower bolts 62 is not limited to that shown in these figures.
[0032] Although illustration is omitted, the sub-lower bolts 62 are provided at positions corresponding to the four corners of a square whose one side and the other side extend along the extending direction of the first beam member 10 (the vertical direction in FIG. 1) and the extending direction of the second beam member 20 (the left-right direction in FIG. 1), respectively.
[0033] The main upper bolts 63 and the main lower bolts 61 are preferably extra-high strength bolts with a strength level of F14T. Next, a method for transporting the first beam member 10 will be described.
[0034] As shown in FIG. 3, when transporting the first beam member 10 from the factory to the construction site, the longitudinal direction of the upper plate 50 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the first beam member 10, and the upper plate 50 is overlapped on the upper surface of the first upper flange 12 and temporarily fixed to the first upper flange 12 by sub-upper bolts 64. Also, the longitudinal direction of the lower plate 40 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the first beam member 10, and the lower plate 40 is overlapped on the lower surface of the first lower flange 11 and temporarily fixed to the first lower flange 11 by sub-lower bolts 62.
[0035] Next, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described. (1) The first beam member 10 and the two second beam members 20 are connected via gusset plates 30 respectively welded to the side portions of the first beam member 10. In addition, the first lower flange 11 of the first beam member 10 and the second lower flanges 21 of the two second beam members 20 are connected via a lower plate 40, and the first upper flange 12 of the first beam member 10 and the second upper flanges 22 of the two second beam members 20 are connected via an upper plate 50. Therefore, the rigid joint structure can be simplified and the processing can be easily performed.
[0036] (2) When transporting the first beam member 10, it is possible to align the longitudinal direction of the upper plate 50 with the longitudinal direction of the first beam member 10, overlap the upper plate 50 on the upper surface of the first upper flange 12, and temporarily fix it to the first upper flange 12 with sub-upper bolts 64. As a result, the upper plate 50 does not protrude to the side of the first beam member 10. Therefore, the first beam member 10 and the upper plate 50 can be transported in a compact manner.
[0037] (3) When the main lower bolts 61 and the main upper bolts 63 are ultra-high strength bolts, they have an allowable shear force about 1.5 times that of high strength bolts with a strength level of S10T. For this reason, the number of the main lower bolts 61 and the main upper bolts 63 can be reduced to about 1 / 1.5, and the length of the lower plate 40 and the upper plate 50 in the longitudinal direction (the left-right direction in FIGS. 1 and 2) can be reduced to about 1 / 1.5. Thereby, the weight of the rigid joint structure can be reduced.
[0038] <Second Embodiment> Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 4, the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that the beam composition of the first beam member 10 is larger than that of the second beam member 20. Hereinafter, the description will be centered on the differences from the first embodiment. In this embodiment, for the same or corresponding configurations as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment may be used to omit duplicate descriptions.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, the beam formation of the first beam member 10, that is, the dimension in the vertical direction, is larger than the beam formation of the second beam member 20. The upper surface of the second upper flange 22 is flush with the upper surface of the first upper flange 12. The lower surface of the first lower flange 11 is positioned below the lower surface of the second lower flange 21.
[0040] The lower plate 40 passes through the hole 14 provided in the first web 13 and is overlapped with the lower surfaces of the two second lower flanges 21. A welded portion W is provided at the peripheral edge of the hole 14 in the first web 13, where the peripheral edge and the lower plate 40 are fillet welded.
[0041] The gusset plate 30 is welded to the side surface of the first web 13, the upper surface of the lower plate 40 continuous with the same side surface, and the lower surface of the first upper flange 12 continuous with the same side surface. The lower plate 40 and the first lower flange 11 are connected by a connecting member 70. The connecting member 70 of the present embodiment is a stiffener and is welded to the lower surface of the lower plate 40, the upper surface of the first lower flange 11, and the side surface of the first web 13.
[0042] Next, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described. (4) The first lower flange 11 of the first beam member 10 and the second lower flanges 21 of the two second beam members 20 are connected via the lower plate 40, and the first upper flange 12 of the first beam member 10 and the second upper flanges 22 of the two second beam members 20 are connected via the upper plate 50.
[0043] By the way, when two lower plates 40 are provided on both sides of the first web 13, the first web 13 and each of the lower plates 40 are to be butt-welded. In this regard, according to the present embodiment, since the lower plate 40 passes through the hole 14 provided in the first web 13, the first web 13 and the lower plate 40 can be fillet welded. Therefore, compared with butt welding, it is possible to reduce the processing cost by reducing the amount of welding.
[0044] Therefore, the rigid joint structure can be simplified and the processing can be easily performed. (5) Since the connecting member 70 for connecting the lower plate 40 and the first lower flange 11 is provided, the joining strength between the first beam member 10 and the two second beam members 20 can be further enhanced.
[0045] <Third Embodiment> Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 5, the third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, it is different from the second embodiment in that the lower plate 40 does not penetrate the first web 13 of the first beam member 10. Hereinafter, the description will focus on the differences from the second embodiment. In this embodiment, for the configurations that are the same as or corresponding to those in the second embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the second embodiment may be used to omit redundant descriptions.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 5, the two lower plates 40 are respectively overlapped on the lower surfaces of the two second lower flanges 21. The first web 13 of this embodiment is not provided with a hole 14. The lower plate 40 is welded to the side surface of the first web 13. Specifically, a welded portion W where the edge portion of the lower plate 40 and the side surface of the first web 13 are welded is provided at the edge portion of the lower plate 40.
[0047] In this embodiment, in addition to the effects (5) of the second embodiment, the following effects are newly achieved. (6) The two lower plates 40 are respectively overlapped on the lower surfaces of the two second lower flanges 21. The lower plate 40 is welded to the side surface of the first web 13. Therefore, the two lower plates 40 can be connected to the first web 13 without forming a hole 14 in the first web 13.
[0048] <Modification Example> This embodiment is not limited to the first to third embodiments described above, and can be implemented, for example, by making the following changes. This embodiment and the following modification examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically non - conflicting range.
[0049] · In the first embodiment, when transporting the first beam member 10, it is also possible not to temporarily fix one of the lower plate 40 and the upper plate 50 to the first beam member 10. Also, when transporting the first beam member 10, it is also possible not to temporarily fix both the lower plate 40 and the upper plate 50 to the first beam member 10.
[0050] · In the first and second embodiments, the main lower bolt 61 and the main upper bolt 63 can also be high-strength bolts with a strength level of, for example, S10T. · In the first and second embodiments, the shapes of the lower plate 40 and the upper plate 50 are not limited to rectangular shapes, and can be appropriately changed to trapezoidal shapes or the like.
[0051] · In the second and third embodiments, the connecting member 70 can also be omitted.
