Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention disclosed herein relates to a concrete slit tension member.
Background Art
[0002] To restore the reduced strength of the reinforcing member of reinforced concrete to equivalent strength, it is difficult to restore it without increasing the volume and mass of the structure.
[0003] It is difficult to restore the same strength as that of a reinforcing member only by adhering a plate-like or sheet-like tension member of fiber-reinforced plastic to the surface layer of the structure. Also, in the case of a rod-shaped or plate-shaped tension member of fiber-reinforced plastic, since it is engaged or connected to concrete by a method that combines adhesion or a metal anchor or a fixing structure, multiple steps are required. Furthermore, since the member is exposed on the surface of the concrete, some treatment is also required to prevent deterioration due to exposure or fire damage.
[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a reinforcement method that can suppress cracks on the concrete surface layer and enable observation of the progress of cracks. By using a method of adhering a multi-layer sheet in which lattice-shaped carbon fibers are woven into a visible non-woven fabric base material to the concrete surface layer with a visible adhesive, crack suppression and crack observation are added. However, the sheet needs to be woven with a non-woven fabric and an adhesive, and deterioration due to exposure or fire damage occurs. Also, since a non-woven fabric with a low elastic modulus is laminated, the reinforcement effect is small. However, if it is a concrete slit tension member, it is considered that the same strength as that of a reinforcing member can be easily added to the concrete, and since the tension member is not exposed on the concrete surface, there is no deterioration, so it can be installed over a wide range.
[0005] Patent Document 2 discloses a method for reinforcing the concrete surface layer. A fastening structure for transmitting the tension force of a net-shaped reinforcing member to the concrete by using a method of engaging the net-shaped reinforcing member, which is formed by knitting two fiber-reinforced synthetic resin bars into a lattice shape, with the concrete using a metal anchor is required. And since the net-shaped reinforcing member is exposed on the surface layer, when it is coated with an inorganic fluid hardening material, the volume and mass of the structure increase. However, in the case of a concrete slit tension member, the same bearing capacity as that of a reinforcing bar member can be easily added to the concrete, and since the tension member is not exposed on the concrete surface, there is no deterioration, so it is considered that it can be installed over a wide range.
[0006] Patent Document 3 discloses a method for reinforcing a structure with a rod-shaped fiber-reinforcing member. A fixing structure for applying a reaction force to the rod-shaped member using a tension applying device equivalent to the length in the long side direction of the fiber-reinforcing member and transmitting the stress to the concrete is required, and multiple steps are required, such as using a pre-pasted sheet, a peeling prevention sheet, and a resin frame mortar and a post-pasted sheet. However, in the case of a concrete slit tension member, the same bearing capacity as that of a reinforcing bar member can be easily added to the concrete, and since the tension member is not exposed on the concrete surface, there is no deterioration, so it is considered that it can be installed over a wide range.

[0012] The concrete slit tension member according to the present invention can adjust the stress by making the tension member into multiple layers, and a certain amount of thermosetting resin or thermoplastic resin can be applied and woven between the layers of the tension member.

[0014] In the concrete slit tension member according to the present invention, the groove depth of the slit hole into which the tension member is inserted is formed within a range in which the tension member or the tension member and the partition material do not protrude from the concrete surface.
