Abstract
A constructing method of an underwater concrete block structure, includes: a first concrete block fabrication step, a guide pole installation step, a first concrete block installation step, a second concrete block fabrication step, a second concrete block installation step, a drainage step, a guide pole removal step, and a concrete column formation step. A concrete column and a first concrete block is firmly coupled to each other via a column rebar assembly.
Claims5
A method of constructing an underwater concrete block structure, the method comprising:
- a first concrete block fabrication step of fabricating a first concrete block comprising a first concrete block body, a column rebar assembly which extends vertically upward from a lower end part of the column rebar assembly connected to an inside of the first concrete block body and protrudes upward from an upper surface of the first concrete block body, and a first watertight packing disposed on the upper surface of the first concrete block body in a form surrounding the column rebar assembly;
- a guide pole installation step of installing a guide pole on the first concrete block after the first concrete block fabrication step, wherein the guide pole comprises a guide pipe extending vertically to insert the column rebar assembly along an inside of the guide pipe and an upper insertion guide part formed at an upper end of the guide pipe and having an upwardly tapered shape;
- a first concrete block installation step of installing the first concrete block underwater after the guide pole installation step;
- a second concrete block fabrication step of fabricating a second concrete block comprising a second concrete block body having a through hole extending vertically;
- a second concrete block installation step of installing the second concrete block such that a concrete block assembly is formed by installing the second concrete block on the first concrete block so that the guide pole is inserted into the through hole of the second concrete block after the second concrete block fabrication step and the first concrete block installation step, wherein a concrete-column through hole having a closed lower end is formed in the concrete block assembly by the through hole of the second concrete block and the first concrete block, and the first watertight packing is located between the first concrete block and the second concrete block to prevent water from being introduced from an outside of the concrete block assembly into the concrete-column through hole;
- a drainage step of removing water contained inside the concrete-column through hole after the second concrete block installation step;
- a guide pole removal step of removing the guide pole after the drainage step;
- and
- a concrete column formation step of forming a concrete column by pouring concrete into the concrete-column through hole after the drainage step, wherein the concrete column comprises the column rebar assembly and the poured concrete integrated with each other and is coupled to the first concrete block body via the column rebar assembly.
