METALLIC SUPPORT FOR RIGGING
20170350124 · 2017-12-07 ·

This disclosure refers to a metallic support for rigging used in building industry systems, comprising a steel bar provided with “C”-shaped metallic supports welded to it, in order to deliver increased mechanical resistance, leading to easier use and decreasing losses causes by damage during use or transportation.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING PRESTRESSED STRUCTURES AND STRUCTURAL PARTS BY MEANS OF SMA TENSION ELEMENTS, AND STRUCTURE AND STRUCTURAL PART EQUIPPED THEREWITH

The method includes a tension element, for example in the form of flat steel, that is placed on the structure or structural part and can be guided around a corner. The flat steel can also wrap as a band around the structure, in which the two ends of the flat steel are either connected to one another or are separately connected to the structure by the end anchors or intersect to produce a clamping connection. The flat steel contracts as a result of a subsequent active and controlled input of heat using a heating element and generates a permanent tensile stress and, correspondingly, a permanent prestress on the structure. The structure, as equipped, has at least one tension element as a shape memory alloy which extends along the outer side of the structure and is connected by one or more end anchors

ARCHED STEEL FIBERS FOR REINFORCING CEMENT-BASED MATERIAL
20170283320 · 2017-10-05 · ·

The present invention discloses an arched steel fiber for reinforcement of a cement-based material, of which a main body is arched in a length direction and opposite ends of the main body are curved such that the steel fiber has a higher pullout resistance strength compared to a conventional steel fiber, thereby improving mechanical performance such as a tensile strength, a flexural strength, an energy absorption capability, and the like of a cement compound. In addition, compared to a conventional art, a mixing amount of steel fiber to performance can be reduced so that an added economic value in terms of consumable cost can be created

STUD WELDABLE REBAR
20170247884 · 2017-08-31 ·

A stud weldable rebar includes a steel bar comprised of a material composition confirming to ASTM 706 which extends along an axis A from a first end to a second end. The steel bar includes a base portion disposed adjacent the first end which has a base diameter D1 to define a base cross-sectional area of the base portion. The steel bar also includes an upset portion disposed adjacent the second end which has an upset diameter D2 being greater than said base diameter D1 to define an upset cross-sectional area of said upset portion. The material composition of the steel bar is restricted to a carbon equivalency between 0.31 and 0.43, and the upset cross-sectional area is approximately 13.5% to 22.5% greater than the base cross-sectional area to provide A706 rebar that surprisingly meets both the AWS D1.1 and ACI 318 standards after stud welding.
