Solution Overview
Problem
Existing prefabricated part reinforcement methods, such as reinforcing steel mesh, are cumbersome, expensive, and difficult to adapt to individual cases, leading to challenges in producing prefabricated parts with defined static stability and bond strength, especially in multi-shell configurations.
Innovation Solution
A prefabricated part design featuring elements made of hardenable casting compound connected by a multidimensional reinforcement device with a composite connecting device consisting of tension, compression, and shearing elements, which are anchored in the casting compound, forming a pressure- and shear-resistant composite, and can be designed with various materials and configurations for optimal strength and cost-effectiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If reinforcing steel mesh is used to connect prefabricated part elements, then the elements can be connected together, but the reinforcement becomes cumbersome, expensive, and difficult to adapt to individual cases
Solution Approach 1:
The reinforcement device is segmented into multiple functional elements: connecting devices with anchoring portions for individual element connection, and composite components for multi-directional force resistance. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The reinforcement device implements local quality by providing different structural characteristics at different locations: the connecting devices have anchoring portions embedded in casting compound for localized bonding, while the composite components provide distributed force resistance across multiple dimensions. This allows adaptation to local structural requirements.
2Reliability
If traditional reinforcement methods are used, then elements can be connected, but production costs increase and processing becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting devices are prepared in advance with anchoring portions designed for direct embedding in casting compound. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex on-site adaptation of reinforcement mesh, simplifying the manufacturing process while ensuring reliable static stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The reinforcement device utilizes parameter changes in the casting compound during its setting process. The anchoring portions are designed to be embedded when the compound is in its workable state, and the composite components are configured to develop full strength as the compound hardens, transforming the manufacturing process into a simpler single-step operation.
3Strength
If more reinforcement material is used to increase bond strength, then static stability improves, but mass and production costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The reinforcement device employs composite materials strategy by combining different structural elements: connecting devices made for anchoring in casting compound, and composite components designed to resist forces in multiple directions. This composite approach achieves superior pressure and shear resistance with minimized material usage, reducing both mass and production costs while maintaining enhanced static stability.
