Description

[0001] NEW GENERATION MODULAR COLUMN-BEAM-SLAB REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM AND PRODUCTION METHOD

[0002] Field of the invention:

[0003] The invention relates to a new generation column beam slab reinforcement system and the production method of the mentioned reinforcement system, which is developed to transform the components used in the construction of columns, beams, slabs, and similar reinforcements in the construction sector into a more practical, faster, economical, and functional structure in a modular way.

[0004] Prior Art:

[0005] In the current state of construction, when manufacturing the main structure of buildings, columns, beams, and slabs; while construction irons called main carriers are used vertically according to the project, rods produced in rectangular, square, or similar shapes are wrapped around the main carriers to prevent buckling and provide rigidity by connecting with wires. In addition, elements called spacers are placed in certain places on column irons to prevent contact by moving the column reinforcement and formwork apart. After the connecting reinforcements, column formwork manufacturing begins, plywood is greased first, then 10x10 wooden planks are nailed on both sides to get material called a wing, wings are placed on three sides of the column reinforcement, and the exposed side is closed with a cover. Support boards called braces are nailed on the formwork, then 5x10 materials are nailed with nails to fix on the ground and an operation called "level" is performed. By moving the brace back and forth, the column's verticality is checked, and horizontal nails are nailed with 5x10s to fix the braces. For the concrete not to explode in the column, ties are nailed and fastened to 10x10s at certain intervals, and finally, irons called "tyrots" are passed through the plywoods to compress from one side to the other. Then the concrete pouring stage is started.

[0006] Utility model document TR2014 / 09528, which shows the prior of the art, mentions a beam structure comprising at least one convex section and at least one concave section positioned to provide strength, at least one corrugated plate located on both sides of the corrugated plate depending on the width and size of the corrugated plates, at least one fixing rod positioned on both sides of the corrugated plates to fix the corrugated plates to each other, at least one connecting element used to fix the opposing fixing rods to each other, and at least one external cover containing all corrugated plates, fixing rods, and connecting elements.

[0007] Patent document JPH07279256A, which shows the prior of the art, aims to strengthen columns without changing the external dimensions of the columns or installing braces or load-bearing walls between the columns. Ceiling and floor beams are mounted between the upper and lower bearings of numerous columns, thereby constructing a structural steel unit box frame. At least one of these columns is made of a steel pipe concrete column created by filling a square steel pipe with concrete. The reinforcements are provided inside the steel pipe concrete column and are positioned to fit into holes in upper and lower diaphragms connected to the inside of the column at the top and bottom.

[0008] Patent document TR2016 / 05557, which shows the prior of the art, mentions a lightweight low-cost beam structure comprising an upper carrier plate, a lower carrier plate, and an intermediate plate formed by bending a planar plate so as to be perpendicular to the upper carrier plate and the lower carrier plate, and having both concave and convex surfaces simultaneously.

[0009] Patent document TR2018 / 00478, which shows the prior of the art, includes a column made of composite material in a modular structure consisting of composite design column and beam systems. The composite structure in the invention preferably comprises a metal column, concrete positioned inside said column, and a thereaded channel formed inside said column.

[0010] As seen in the above-mentioned documents showing the prior of the art, a modular, practical, fast, economical, and specially functional structure that can be applied to each of the reinforcements such as columns, beams, and slabs has not been achieved, and a need for a new solution has emerged to meet this need.

[0011] Purpose of the Invention:

[0012] The purpose of the invention is to facilitate the easy and fast assembly of steel reinforcement during the construction of structural elements such as columns, beams, and slabs in reinforced concrete structures, through the use of a special thereaded design.

[0013] Another purpose of the invention is to enable the modular assembly of the new generation column, beam, and slab reinforcement system, allowing the desired connection of reinforcements to each other. Another purpose of the invention is to provide partial isolation between two columns and stabilization through the indentation on the consoles, along with achieving integration of concrete with the console for structural integrity.

[0014] Another purpose of the invention is to facilitate the alignment and centering of thereaded components by the indentations and protrusions on the side surfaces of the console, enabling easy fixation of subsequent items such as furniture without the need for drilling or breaking during earthquakes, thus ensuring safety of life and property.

[0015] Another purpose of the invention is to reduce construction and labor costs through the rapid assembly of reinforcements.

[0016] Another purpose of the invention is to enable the application of the steel-concrete combination, previously used only in columns, beams, and slabs, in walls in a thinner manner, thereby achieving a thinner and more resilient structure while expanding living spaces.

[0017] Another purpose of the invention is to strengthen structures with low seismic resistance.

[0018] Another purpose of the invention is to optionally equip the structure with devices to disconnect gas and electricity connections during earthquakes, automatically activate emergency lighting fixtures, and stop elevators by lowering them to the nearest floor.

[0019] Another purpose of the invention is to optionally equip the structure with components to function as isolators during earthquakes, thereby enhancing the structure's seismic resistance.

[0020] Another purpose of the invention is to make mining areas, including shafts, galleries, and production areas, operable for safety of life and property.

[0021] Another purpose of the invention is to enable lightweight, portable, and fast manufacturing in chassis and other load-carrying systems in the automotive sector.

[0049] 1.3- Decorative Cover Element

[0050] 2- Iron Reinforcement

[0051] Detailed Description of the Invention:

[0052] Our invention consists of at least one threaded console (1.2) that easily and securely supports iron reinforcements (2), at least one threaded component (1.1) connected to said console (1.2), and a decorative cover element (1.3) connected to said threaded component (1.1).

[0053] The most important element of the invention, the console (1.2), has different geometries such as square, rectangular, circular, polygonal, etc., depending on the place of use (column, beam, floor, wall, etc.), and is made of metal, thermoplastic, thermoset, or composite material. Threaded consoles with different geometries have threaded component centering forms (1.2.1) used on the side surfaces of consoles such as square, rectangular, polygonal, and on the bottom and top surfaces of circular consoles (1.2), which increase adhesion with concrete and align threaded components (1.1) along the entire surface, allowing the consoles (1.2) to be joined together at desired points. Inside the consoles (1.2), there is at least one iron reinforcement centering hole (1.2.2) with a shape suitable for the profile of the iron reinforcements (2) used, allowing the iron reinforcements (2) to pass through. Some of these centering holes (1.2.2) can also be used as channels for cables and pipes necessary for the structure. On the upper surfaces of the consoles (1.2), there is at least one strength and centering form (1.2.3) guiding the threaded component (1.1), which acts as a partial isolator during earthquakes, increasing the seismic resistance of the structure.

[0054] The threaded component (1.1) used in the new generation column-beam-floor reinforcement system allows the modular structure by facilitating the joining of consoles (1.2) to each other and also enables removable connections around the threaded console (1) after being wrapped with molds. After removing the molds, there is no need to drill holes on columns, beams, or floors to fix any item securely during the usage of structures.

[0055] Optionally, decorative cover elements (1.3) positioned on the threaded components (1.1) for decorative purposes can be connected.

[0056] As seen in the attached figures, the production method of the new generation column-beam- floor reinforcement system involves:

[0057] - Production of consoles (1.2) with different geometries depending on the place of use,

[0058] - Proper positioning and connection of threaded components (1.1) onto the threaded component centering form (1.2.1) according to the project and bonding with welding or adhesive,

[0059] - Proper positioning and connection of decorative cover elements (1.3) onto the threaded components (1.1) and bonding,

[0060] - Passing of iron reinforcements (2) through the iron reinforcement centering holes (1.2.2) according to the project and bonding with welding or adhesive,

[0061] - Modular connection of consoles (1.2) with each other according to the project,

[0063] - Mounting of vibration wedges and seismic sensors on the console (1.2) according to the project,

[0064] - Connection of threaded components (1.1) on the consoles (1.2) with molds and completion of molding process. After pouring concrete into the molds, the connection between the threaded components (1.1) and the molds can be easily terminated, thus ensuring longer life for the molds.

[0065] Our invention is also used to strengthen structures lacking earthquake resistance by making them earthquake resistant. The method of making structures earthquake resistant with the new generation column-beam-floor reinforcement system involves:

[0066] - Production of consoles (1.2) with different geometries depending on the characteristics of the structural elements to be strengthened,

[0067] - Proper positioning and connection of threaded components (1.1) onto the threaded component centering form (1.2.1) according to the project and bonding with welding or adhesive,
