Acute Angle Shoring Beam Configuration for Column Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current shoring deck securing methods are inefficient and costly, particularly for high-rise constructions, as they require time-consuming cross-bracing that creates barriers and complicates the construction zone, failing to effectively manage both vertical and lateral loads during concrete pouring.
Innovation Solution
A method and system using asymmetrically positioned beams to secure a shoring deck to a column, where the beams are aligned at an acute angle to each other, providing lateral support and restricting movement, thus enhancing stability without the need for extensive cross-bracing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If cross-bracing between adjacent vertical shoring posts is used to secure the shoring deck, then the stability of the shoring deck is improved, but the construction time and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the cross-bracing function from the traditional cross-bracing structure and relocates it to the column-beam connection system. By positioning beams at acute angles to the column axis and securing them to the shoring deck, the lateral support function is extracted from the space between posts and transferred to the column interface, eliminating the need for time-consuming cross-bracing between posts.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional cross-bracing arrangement between vertical posts to a three-dimensional configuration where beams are positioned at acute angles to the column axis. This dimensional change allows the beam system to provide lateral support through angular positioning rather than direct horizontal bracing, reducing the number of components and assembly steps.
2Stability of the object's composition
If cross-bracing between adjacent vertical shoring posts is used to secure the shoring deck, then the stability of the shoring deck is improved, but the complexity of the construction zone increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the cross-bracing elements from the construction zone by extracting their support function and relocating it to the column-beam connection system. This extraction eliminates the barriers and complications that cross-bracing creates within the construction zone below the shoring deck, while maintaining the necessary lateral support through the column interface.
3Force
If traditional cross-bracing methods are used to secure the shoring deck, then lateral support is provided, but the method becomes time-consuming and expensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs preliminary action by pre-positioning the beams at acute angles to the column axis before securing them to the shoring deck. The beams are prepared and positioned in advance, allowing for rapid assembly without the need for time-consuming on-site cross-bracing operations between vertical posts during the concrete pouring process.
