[0019] In addition, the main rebar assembly 11 comprises a plurality of main rebar 111, 112, 113 inserted inside and fixedly coupled to the auxiliary spiral stirrups 122 and/or the main spiral stirrup 121 binding with thin metal wires or through welding. In the embodiment shown in
[0020] As illustrated in
[0021] As shown in
[0022] The outer surface of the engagement assembly 4 is provided with a protrusion 41 substantially perpendicularly extending from the outer surface of the engagement assembly 4. The protrusion 41 has a plurality of second through holes 411 for connecting one end of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2. In particular, the number and the distribution of the plurality of second through holes 411 of the protrusion 41 correspond to those of the plurality of first through holes 214 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 (see
[0023]
[0024] Please refer to
[0025] As illustrated in
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the structural body of the precast column 1 and the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 are manufactured in the precast factory according to the construction blueprints. After the concrete of the precast column 1 and the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 reaches a predetermined rigidity, the precast column 1 and the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 are transported to the construction site for assembly.
[0027] Please refer to
[0028] In step S2, at least one precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 214 at one end of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2. A crane (not shown in figures) hoists the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 to a position adjacent to the precast column 1 for connecting the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 to a predetermined position of the precast column 1. In an alternative embodiment, a plurality of precast steel reinforced concrete beams 2 can be connected to different sides of the precast column 1 simultaneously or sequentially.
[0029] In step S3, the position of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 is adjusted. After the plurality of through holes 214 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 are aligned with the plurality of second through holes 411 of the engagement assembly 4, a plurality of fasteners 3 are penetrated through the plurality of first through holes 214 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 and the plurality of second through holes 411 of the engagement assembly 4 so that the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 is fixed to the precast column 1. In addition, the fastener 3 comprises a bolt and corresponding nut. The threaded end of the bolts penetrates through the plurality of first through holes 214 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2, and then penetrates through the plurality of second through holes 411 of the engagement assembly 4, so the threaded end is exposed outside the surface of the engagement assembly 4. In addition, the position of the spacer 42 is so designed that when the plurality of first through holes 214 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 are aligned with the plurality of second through holes 411 of the engagement assembly 4, the upper surface of the spacer 42 is attached to the lower surface of the bottom flange 212 of the steel beam 21 (see
[0030] In step S4, the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 is welded to the engagement assembly 4 to enhance the connection strength. The top flange 211 and the bottom flange 212 of the steel beam 21 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 are welded to the outer surface of the engagement assembly 4, and the web plate 213 of the steel beam 21 is welded to the protrusion 41 of the engagement assembly 4. After the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 is positioned, the spacer 43 is attached to the lower surface of the bottom flange 212 of the steel beam 21. In addition, the lower surface of the top flange 211 of the steel beam 21 is provided with a spacer 48 for limiting the flow range of the solder. Because the height H3 of the web plate 213 is greater than the height H2 of the protrusion 41, the web plate 213 can be welded to the outer periphery of the protrusion 41, such as along the top edge, outer edge and bottom edge of the protrusion 41 (see
[0031] In step S5, in the bare steel beam section 22 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2, wrapping a plurality of first rebar 24 around the steel beam 21. In addition, at least one surface of two lateral surfaces of the bare steel beam section 22 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 is further provided with at least one third rebar 241 substantially perpendicularly intersecting with the first rebar 24 (see
[0032] In step S6, the bare steel beam section 22 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 is enclosed by concrete forms 29 and into which concrete is then poured. The concrete form 29 comprises an outer concrete form 291, an inner concrete form 292 and a bottom concrete form 293 disposed on the outer surface, inner surface and bottom surface of the bare steel beam section 22 of the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2, respectively. In particular, there is a height difference between the top edge 2911 of the outer concrete form 291 and the top edge 2921 of the inner concrete form 292. In an embodiment of the instant disclosure, the top edge 2911 of the outer concrete form 291 is higher than the top edge 2921 of the inner concrete form 292. In an embodiment shown in
[0033] In step S7, a plate member 5 (i.e., the corrugated steel sheets serving as the bottom of the floorslab) is horizontally disposed and surrounded by the precast column 1 and the at least one precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2, and a plurality of second rebar 6 perpendicularly intersect with each other on the plate member 5. In an embodiment shown in
[0034] In step S8, concrete is poured onto the area not previously enveloped by concrete. When the precast steel reinforced concrete beam 2 is a semi-precast steel reinforced concrete beam (as shown in
[0035] The beam-column connection structure and the method of forming the same as provided in the above embodiments effectively speed up the connections between the precast columns and the precast beams so that the main structure of the building can be rapidly accomplished. Moreover, the tension bars embedded in the precast column not only enhance the structural strength of the precast beams coupled to both ends of each tension bar, but also effectively transmit the shear force resulting from earthquakes so as to prevent the beam-column connection structure from being damaged due to the unfavorable stress concentration phenomenon.
[0036] Specific components of an insertion system and related methods for insertion have been described. It should be apparent, however, to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the present disclosure. Moreover, in interpreting the present disclosure, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms comprises and comprising should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced.
