Abstract
A thumb pile provided with a fitting bracket improves work convenience by tensioning a tensile member while inserting a bracket constituted by a plurality of bracket members manufactured using a shearing method into a flange, and at the same time, more efficiently reduce bending stress occurring in a retaining wall through the improved bracket structure.
Claims10
A thumb pile provided with a fitting bracket, the thumb pile comprising:
- a beam member constituted by a web and a first flange and a second flange, which are perpendicularly coupled to the web on both sides of the web;
- an upper bracket fitted into the first flange at an upper portion of the beam member;
- a lower bracket that faces the upper bracket at a lower portion of the beam member and is fitted into the first flange;
- and
- a plurality of tensile members extending in a longitudinal direction of the beam member between the upper bracket and the lower bracket and fixedly installed on the upper bracket and the lower bracket, respectively,
- wherein the upper bracket is constituted by a first bracket member and a second bracket member, which face each other with respect to the web at the upper portion of the first flange and are spaced a predetermined distance from each other, each of the first bracket member and the second bracket member comprises:
- a vertical plate extending from a front surface of the first flange by a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the beam member;
- a horizontal plate formed by being bent vertically from one end of the vertical plate;
- and
- a hanging plate disposed on a rear surface of the first flange by being vertically bent from one end of the horizontal plate,
- a first groove is defined at an edge of the other end of the horizontal plate of the first bracket member,
- a second groove is defined at an edge of the other end of the horizontal plate of the second bracket member,
- the first groove and the second groove are disposed to face each other to define a hollow having a predetermined size, at which the plurality of tensile members pass, between an inner surface of the first groove and an inner surface of the second groove, and
- an anchoring member for anchoring the plurality of tensile members is seated on an upper portion of the horizontal plate corresponding to the hollow.
