Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current steel reinforced concrete (SRC) structure systems lack advanced design options and efficient assembly methods, with simple reinforcing bar and stirrup designs failing to meet modern structural demands and safety requirements.
Innovation Solution
A construction structure system incorporating a steel beam structure with a first and second spiral stirrup, where the second spiral stirrup can pass through or be positioned outside the first, along with axial reinforcing bars, to provide versatile design options and improved structural integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If simple reinforcing bars and stirrups are used, then assembly is straightforward, but structural design options are limited and do not meet modern structural demands
Solution Approach 1:
The stirrup is divided into multiple segments (first stirrup segment, second stirrup segment, third stirrup segment) that can be assembled together. This segmentation allows for easier handling and assembly while creating complex three-dimensional configurations that provide enhanced structural design options and versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The stirrup segments are designed to nest within each other, with the second stirrup segment positioned inside the first stirrup segment, and the third stirrup segment inside the second. This nested configuration enables compact assembly while maintaining complex geometric forms that satisfy modern structural design requirements.
2Ease of manufacture
If traditional stirrup designs are used, then construction process is simple, but structural integrity and cohesion are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The stirrup design incorporates multiple adjustable segments that can be configured in different spatial arrangements. The segments include vertical portions, inclined portions, and horizontal portions that can be positioned to optimize structural performance for different loading conditions, thereby enhancing structural integrity while maintaining construction simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
Different segments of the stirrup are designed with specific geometries tailored to local structural requirements. The vertical portions provide shear resistance, the inclined portions address diagonal tension, and the horizontal portions maintain spacing. This localized optimization of each segment's geometry enhances overall structural integrity.
3Ease of operation
If conventional stirrup configurations are used, then assembly is straightforward, but various structure cross-section shapes cannot be formed
Solution Approach 1:
The stirrup segments are designed with adjustable configurations that can adapt to different cross-sectional shapes. The segments include vertical portions, inclined portions, and horizontal portions that can be positioned and oriented to form various geometric configurations, enabling the structure to accommodate different cross-section shapes while maintaining ease of assembly through standardized connection mechanisms.

AI summary
A structure system for use in a construction is provided. The structure system has a steel element, a first spiral stirrup, and a second spiral stirrup. The first spiral stirrup forms a plurality of pitches and axially wraps at least a portion of the steel element. The second spiral stirrup is axially disposed on an outer side of the steel element. The second spiral stirrup selectively passes through the pitch and extends into an inner space of the first spiral stirrup. In addition, a plurality of axial reinforcing bars may be entered to serve special needs of structure design.
