US 8,474,204 B2 · Architectured reinforcement structure

Abstract

This invention presents a modified reinforced concrete structure, which has a steel structure composed of a beam steel box unit, column steel box unit, and beam-column joint steel box unit with lap jointing reinforced steels. The side plate and/or end plate of the steel box has through holes for concrete flowing therebetween. In this way, the workability of concrete grouting and tamping are improved, and the phenomena of hive, segregation, or floating can be avoided. It can also enhance the performance of beam-column joints (e.g. with better confinement ability, etc.). Applying the invention, the efficiency and accuracy of constructing beam-column joints can be increased, and in addition to better ensure the structural safety, it can also reduce construction manpower and schedule.

Dependent claims

An architectured reinforcement structure, comprising:

a plurality of interconnected steel box units, wherein each steel box unit comprises:
at least three side plates, being connected to each other and forming to a box frame;
at least two angle steel bars, being disposed on the sides of the box frame for steadying the connections between the side plates;
and
two end plates, being disposed at the both ends of the box frame, and each of the end plates having an end plate central opening located at the central region of the end plate and a plurality of end plate peripheral openings located at the peripheral region of the end plate;
and
a concrete, being grouted into the box frame through the end plate central opening of one of the two ends plates.
