- the present invention relates to the structure of a tensioned end of a prestressed-concrete structure and also relates to a method of constructing the tensioned end. More particularly, the present invention relates to a technique wherein a transparent material is employed for a grout can to surely perform the construction of the tensioned end.
- prestressing steel and a sheath covering it, together with reinforcing bars are disposed in a form. Thereafter, concrete is placed in the form. After, the concrete has reached a predetermined strength, the prestressing steel is tensioned from both horizontal ends or either of them, and each end portion of the prestressing steel is anchored with an anchoring device, thereby prestressing the concrete.
- a grout is externally injected into the anchorage and its vicinities and also into the sheath at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa) to fill them for the purpose of preventing corrosion of the tensioned prestressing steel and for securing the prestressing steel in the sheath under tension and further for fixing the interior of the anchorage and its vicinities.
- a grout can is secured to the anchorage to cover the whole anchorage in a hermetically sealed state, and thereafter, the grout is injected from an outer communicating hole (grout hose fitting hole) to fill the inside of the grout can.
- Japanese Patent Application Unexamined Publication (KOKAI) No. Hei 8-35331 discloses a method in which a metallic grout can is used. In this case, however, the inside of the grout can cannot be seen. Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the completeness of the filling of grout at the tensioned end portion, which is particularly important. Further, because the grout can is made of a metal, an electric potential difference is produced between the grout can and the prestressing steel or other different kind of metal. Consequently, a corrosive current flows, and this may cause corrosion of the prestressing steel.
- the grout when the grout is injected into the grout can at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa), if the grout can is in the shape of a cylinder with a flat bottom as illustrated in Japanese Patent Application Unexamined Publication (KOKAI) No. Hei 8-35331, the pressure of the injected grout is applied non-uniformly to the inner surfaces of the grout can. This involves the danger that the grout can may be deformed and hence the grout may leak.
- a high pressure 0.5 to 1 MPa
- the anchorage structure including the grout can and its vicinities is covered with post-placed concrete. If the adhesion between the post-placed concrete and the grout can is incomplete, it is impossible to attain the primary object, i.e. forming the anchorage and the post-placed concrete into one integral structure.
- the grout In the case of external cable construction, the grout can is relatively large in size. Therefore, the conventional metallic grout can is heavy in weight and hence inconvenient to handle.

Abstract
A tensioned end of a prestressed-concrete structure is constructed easily and reliably.
A grout can 5 in a tensioned end structure of a prestressed-concrete structure is made of a transparent material, particularly preferably a transparent electrically insulating material, thereby reliably performing grouting while visually observing and checking the filling condition of grout G in the grout can 5 from the outside thereof. A synthetic resin, particularly an ionomer resin, is preferably used as the transparent electrically insulating material constituting the grout can.
Description
- The present invention relates to the structure of a tensioned end of a prestressed-concrete structure and also relates to a method of constructing the tensioned end. More particularly, the present invention relates to a technique wherein a transparent material is employed for a grout can to surely perform the construction of the tensioned end.
- According to a conventional prestressed-concrete structure producing method (post-tensioning system), prestressing steel and a sheath covering it, together with reinforcing bars, are disposed in a form. Thereafter, concrete is placed in the form. After, the concrete has reached a predetermined strength, the prestressing steel is tensioned from both horizontal ends or either of them, and each end portion of the prestressing steel is anchored with an anchoring device, thereby prestressing the concrete.
- Thereafter, a grout is externally injected into the anchorage and its vicinities and also into the sheath at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa) to fill them for the purpose of preventing corrosion of the tensioned prestressing steel and for securing the prestressing steel in the sheath under tension and further for fixing the interior of the anchorage and its vicinities. At that time, a grout can is secured to the anchorage to cover the whole anchorage in a hermetically sealed state, and thereafter, the grout is injected from an outer communicating hole (grout hose fitting hole) to fill the inside of the grout can.
- Japanese Patent Application Unexamined Publication (KOKAI) No. Hei 8-35331 discloses a method in which a metallic grout can is used. In this case, however, the inside of the grout can cannot be seen. Therefore, it is impossible to confirm the completeness of the filling of grout at the tensioned end portion, which is particularly important. Further, because the grout can is made of a metal, an electric potential difference is produced between the grout can and the prestressing steel or other different kind of metal. Consequently, a corrosive current flows, and this may cause corrosion of the prestressing steel.
- Further, when the grout is injected into the grout can at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa), if the grout can is in the shape of a cylinder with a flat bottom as illustrated in Japanese Patent Application Unexamined Publication (KOKAI) No. Hei 8-35331, the pressure of the injected grout is applied non-uniformly to the inner surfaces of the grout can. This involves the danger that the grout can may be deformed and hence the grout may leak.
- In the case of internal cable construction, the anchorage structure including the grout can and its vicinities is covered with post-placed concrete. If the adhesion between the post-placed concrete and the grout can is incomplete, it is impossible to attain the primary object, i.e. forming the anchorage and the post-placed concrete into one integral structure. In the case of external cable construction, the grout can is relatively large in size. Therefore, the conventional metallic grout can is heavy in weight and hence inconvenient to handle.

- The grout can 5 shown in FIGS. 4(a) and (b) is a half-cut hollow spherical member having a ring-shaped rib 5 a at the upper edge thereof. The grout can 5′ shown in FIGS. 5(a) and (b) is a cylindrical member, one end-of which is closed. The cylindrical member has a ring-shaped rib 5 a′ at the upper edge thereof and a half-cut hollow
spherical portion 50 at the bottom thereof. The grout can 5″ shown in FIGS. 6(a) and (b) is a cylindrical member, one end of which is closed. The cylindrical member has a ring-shaped rib 5 a″ at the upper edge thereof and a slightly curved bottom portion. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 4 , the belly portion of the grout can 5 is provided with connecting openings, andgrout discharge pipes 5 b and 5 c are attached to the connecting openings to fitgrout hoses 6 thereto, respectively. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , grout G is introduced into thesheath 2 at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa) from a grout injection pipe 10 a of the differential-diameter joint to fill the grout can 5 through through-holes (not shown) provided in theplug 4 in the anchorage. Excess grout is discharged to the outside through thegrout discharge pipes 5 b and 5 c and thegrout hoses 6. - At this time, because the grout can 5 is made of a transparent material, the filling condition of the grout can be visually observed easily from the outside, and it is possible to readily find any void portion left unfilled in the inner wall of the grout can 5. Therefore, if such a void portion is found, additional grouting is carried out to refill it, thereby attaining a completely filled condition.
- It should be noted that the grout G is a cement milk mixed with an admixture, e.g. a dispersing agent. Then, concrete or mortar M for post placement is placed and hardened by using a form so as to cover the surface of the concrete C in the vicinity of the anchorage and also cover the outer peripheral surface of the grout can 5.
- It is preferable that the post-placed concrete or mortar M should be a material identical or similar to the concrete C so as to be integrated with the latter.
- Next, the construction of a tensioned end in the vicinity of an anchorage of an external cable system will be described. As shown in
FIG. 2 , which is a sectional view of a tensioned end structure in the vicinity of the anchorage, end portions of prestressing steel cables 1 are anchored under tension by using ananchor head 12 attached to the outer surface of an end portion of concrete C, together withwedges 13. Ananchor plate 11 is embedded in the inner surface of the concrete C inside theanchor head 12. - Further, an
outer trumpet 15, together with aninner trumpet 14 inserted therein, is installed in the vicinity of the anchorage. Asteel pipe 18 is fitted into the forward end portion of theouter trumpet 15. The forward end portion of theinner trumpet 14 is fitted into aresin sheath 17. In addition, acaulking ring 16 is fitted around the outer peripheral surface of the overlap of theinner trumpet 14 and theresin sheath 17. - A bundle of 12 to 27 prestressing steel cables 1 is inserted to extend through the
inner trumpet 14 and theresin sheath 17. - It should be noted that a grout can 5′ is secured to the surface of the
anchor plate 11 with grout can securingbolts 8. - The grout can 5′ used in this case is, as shown in
FIG. 5 , a cylindrical member, one end of which is closed. The cylindrical member has a ring-shaped rib 5 a′ at the upper edge thereof and a half-cut hollowspherical portion 50 at the bottom thereof. Because it has thecylindrical portion 51, the grout can 5′ is correspondingly increased in height. - The belly portion of the grout can 5′ is provided with connecting openings, and
grout discharge pipes 5 b′ and 5 c′ are attached to the connecting openings to fitgrout hoses 6 thereto, respectively. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , which is a sectional view of the anchorage and its vicinities, grout G is introduced into the grout can 5′ at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa) from the right-hand side through thesheath 17 to fill the grout can 5′. - The grout G is filled into the grout can 5′ through through-holes (not shown) provided in the
anchor head 12. Excess grout is discharged to the outside through thegrout discharge pipes 5 b′ and 5 c′ and thegrout hoses 6. - At this time, because the grout can 5′ is made of a transparent material, the filling condition of the grout can be visually observed easily from the outside, and it is possible to readily find any void portion V left unfilled in the inner wall of the grout can 5′. Therefore, if such a void portion is found, additional grouting is carried out to refill it, thereby attaining a completely filled condition.
- The term “transparent material for the grout can” as used in the present invention means a material that allows the filling condition of grout G in the grout can and the presence of air bubbles, etc. to be visually checked from the outside of the grout can. It is possible to use any material that is transparent and mechanically strong to some extent, for example, synthetic resins, high-strength glass (including tempered glass coated with a transparent resin), and ceramics.
- Particularly, a transparent synthetic resin material is preferably used. Because the material is required to exhibit pressure resistance (during grouting), impact resistance, and moderate flexibility and toughness (when the rib portion is bolted), it is particularly preferable to use an ionomer resin consisting essentially of an α-olefin-α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer having carboxyl groups neutralized with metal ions, which is a polyethylene derivative.
- The polyethylene derivative-base ionomer resin is prepared by copolymerization of ethylene with a small amount of (meth)acrylic acid metal salt, and also known as an ethylene-base ionomer (EBI). The ionomer resin is excellent in transparency and also excellent in pressure resistance, flexibility and toughness.
- The above-described transparent materials are generally not electrically conductive (i.e. they are electrically insulative) and hence unlikely to cause a corrosive electric current. It should be noted that polyethylenes (or polyethylene derivative-base ionomer resins) are also preferable from the viewpoint that they are free from leakage of harmful substances (e.g. environmental hormones) into the environment.
- Further, in the present invention, the grout can is transparent and hence allows any portion left unfilled with grout to be visually recognized easily from the outside of the grout can. Therefore, if an unfilled portion is found after the grout has hardened, the grout can is bored to provide injection and discharge openings to regrout the unfilled portion, thereby enabling the grout to be completely filled in the grout can (easiness and reliability of filling condition inspection and repairing).
- The present invention will be described below more specifically by way of examples.
- This is an example of an internal cable system as shown in
FIG. 1 . - Molding of the grout can 5 was carried out by injection molding of a transparent resin using a mold having an inner surface processed into an embossing negative mold configuration in advance.
- As a transparent electrically insulating resin material, “Himilan 1706” (trade name), which is a polyethylene derivative-base ionomer resin available from DuPont-Mitsui Polychemicals Co., Ltd., was used.
- The grout can 5 has a configuration as shown in
FIG. 4 . That is, the grout can 5 is a half-cut hollow spherical member having a ring-shaped rib 5 a at the upper edge thereof. The inner diameter of the upper edge is 122 mm. The height of the grout can 5 is 60 mm. The rib width is 17 mm.Grout discharge pipes 5 b and 5 c (outer diameter: 19 mm) for fitting grout hoses are attached to the grout can 5, andgrout hoses 6 are connected thereto. - First, as shown in
FIG. 1 , grout G, which is a cement milk mixed with an admixture, e.g. a dispersing agent, is introduced into the grout can 5 from the grout injection pipe 10 a via the anchorage. - The thickness of the grout can 5 is 4 mm. The pressure resistance of the grout can 5 satisfies the required waterproof pressure of 1 MPa. Even when grout was introduced into the grout can 5 at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa), neither deformation of the grout can 5 nor leakage of grout was observed.
- The filling condition of the grout G was visually observable from the outside through the grout can 5. Thus, it was possible to easily confirm that neither air bubbles nor voids were present. It should be noted that the surface of the grout can 5 had been formed into an uneven surface (not shown) by embossing. Accordingly, the adhesion of the grout can 5 to post-placed concrete M was good (it was confirmed by a test of embedding the grout can into concrete, which was carried out separately, that the grout can did not separate from concrete after it had hardened).
- This is an example of an external cable system as shown in
FIG. 2 . The grout can 5′ was produced by injection molding using a material similar to that in Example 1. - The grout can 5′ has a configuration as shown in FIGS. 5(a) and (b). That is, the grout can 5′ is a cylindrical member, one end of which is closed. The cylindrical member has a ring-shaped rib 5 a′ at the upper edge thereof and a half-cut hollow
spherical portion 50 at the bottom thereof. The grout can 5′ is provided with grout hose fitting pipes (outer diameter: 19 mm) 5 b′ and 5 c′, andgrout hoses 6 are connected thereto. - The cylindrical inner diameter of the upper edge of the grout can 5′ is 227 mm. The height of the grout can 5′ is 204 mm. The rib width is 21.5 mm.
- As shown in
FIG. 2 , which is a sectional view of the anchorage and its vicinities, grout G is introduced into the grout can 5′ at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa) from the right-hand side through thesheath 17 to fill the grout can 5′. - The grout G is filled into the grout can 5′ through through-holes (not shown) provided in the
anchor head 12. Excess grout is discharged to the outside through thegrout discharge pipes 5 b′ and 5 c′ and thegrout hoses 6. - It was visually observed from the outside during filling the grout that a void portion V remained in the inner wall surface of the grout can 5′. Therefore, the grouting was continued. Consequently, the void portion V became invisible. Thus, it was perceived that the grout G had been completely filled.
- It should be noted that the grout G used in this example was also a cement milk similar to that in Example 1.
- The thickness of the grout can 5′ is 4 mm. The pressure resistance of the grout can 5′ satisfies the required waterproof pressure of 1 MPa. Even when grout was introduced into the grout can 5′ at a high pressure (0.5 to 1 MPa), neither deformation of the grout can 5′ nor leakage of grout was observed.
- Further, the resin grout can 5′ used in this example was light in weight in comparison to the conventional metallic grout can and hence easy to handle. Moreover, because the grout can 5′ was not electrically conductive, there is no fear of the prestressing steel being corroded by a corrosive electric current that would otherwise be generated.
- This is an example of an external cable system as shown in
FIG. 3 . The grout can 5″ was produced by injection molding using a material similar to that in Example 1. - As shown in FIGS. 6(a) and (b), the grout can 5″ is a cylindrical member, one end of which is closed. The cylindrical member has a ring-shaped rib 5 a″ at the upper edge thereof and a slightly curved bottom portion. The grout can 5″ is provided with grout hose fitting pipes (outer diameter: 19 mm) 5 b″ and 5 e, and
grout hoses 6 are connected thereto. Thepipe 5 b″ is for grout discharge. Thepipe 5 e is for grout injection. - The cylindrical inner diameter of the upper edge of the grout can 5″ is 108 mm. The height of the grout can 5″ is 150 mm. The rib width is 24 mm. The grout can 5″ was made of an acrylic resin.
- As shown in
FIG. 3 , grout G is introduced into the grout can 5″ through thegrout injection pipe 5 e to fill the grout can 5″. At this time, additional grouting is carried out satisfactorily so that no void portion will be left inside the grout can 5″. Excess grout is discharged to the outside through thegrout discharge pipe 5 b″. - It should be noted that if there is some fear of the presence of a void continuously extending to the inside of the structure along the tendon member, a hole is bored in the grout can, and a fiberscope or the like is inserted into the grout can through the hole, thereby allowing investigation of the void.
- As has been stated above, according to the present invention, the grout can is made of a transparent material. Therefore, during the construction of a tensioned end of a prestressed-concrete structure, the filling condition of grout in the grout can can be visually observed easily from the outside and grasped reliably.
- If the material constituting the grout can is a transparent and electrically insulating material, no electric potential difference is produced between the grout can and the prestressing steel or other different kind of metal, which would otherwise occur due to water present in a void or the like that is not visually observable. Consequently, there is no danger of the prestressing steel being corroded by a corrosive electric current as in the prior art.
- Further, the grout can is formed in the shape of a half-cut hollow spherical member or a cylindrical member, one end of which is closed, and which has a half-cut hollow spherical portion at the bottom thereof, whereby it is possible to prevent deformation of the grout can and leakage of grout during grouting at high pressure. In the case of internal cable construction, if the outer surface of the grout can is processed into an uneven surface in advance, the adhesion of the grout can to post-placed concrete becomes good.
- Further, in the case of using a grout can made of a transparent resin, even if it is relatively large in size, the grout can is easy to handle because it is light in weight.
- It should be noted that it was possible to fill the grout completely in the examples using transparent grout cans. However, even if a void is present in the grout can for some reason after the grout has hardened in an external cable system, the void can be visually recognized easily from the outside of the grout can. Therefore, repair can be executed by boring grout injection and discharge openings in the grout can and refilling the grout into the void.
