Definitions
- the present invention relates to a prefab floor element having an underside and upper side, which latter side forms the bearing side, which floor element comprises a concrete layer incorporating a first reinforcement member and at the underside of the floor element a partly external, second reinforcement member.
- a prefab floor element known from EP 0 450 682 comprises a concrete layer with a first pre-tensioned reinforcement member.
- the floor element has a second reinforcement member, whose base is formed by two straight rods, which via a zigzag wire are connected with a third straight rod.
- the second reinforcement member In its longitudinal direction, the second reinforcement member has a V-shaped cross section. The two rods are placed up against the first reinforcement member and are incorporated in the concrete, whereas the third rod extends beyond the concrete and is strainable under tension. Relative to its load-bearing caundercity, there is a reduction in said known floor element's weight, due to the reinforcement being partly external.
- the first reinforcement member is a netted first reinforcement member and the non-external portion of the second reinforcement member partly extends through openings of the netted reinforcement member coming close to the bearing surface.
- the prefab floor element according to the invention is stronger or equally strong and lighter (and therefore cheaper) while having a concrete layer of the same thickness. In the latter case fewer second reinforcement members are needed and there is more freedom with respect to the installation of pipes between the lowered ceiling and the underside of the concrete layer.
- the second reinforcement member in particular the opening formed by the external portion of the reinforcement and the underside of the floor element formed, can be used for passing through conduits, and if such a floor element is used as floor element of a storey or roof, for securing a lowered ceiling. There is no need to pre-tension the reinforcement and this favourably affect the cost price of the prefab floor element.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a concrete prefab floor element having internal and external reinforcement, by pouring a layer of concrete on the upper side of a formwork, wherein a first reinforcement member is incorporated into the concrete layer and a second reinforcement member is partly incorporated into the concrete layer, wherein the portion of the second reinforcement member that is not incorporated in the concrete layer comprises a rod-like element that serves for absorbing the tensile forces while the floor element is in use, and the concrete is allowed to set, resulting in a ready floor element that is separated from the formwork.
- a floor element is manufactured on its end face by pouring concrete on a formwork.
- a first, pre-tensioned reinforcement member is incorporated.
- the second reinforcement member comprises a base formed by two straight rods connected via a zigzag wire with a third straight rod.
- the second reinforcement member has a V-shaped cross section, and the two straight rods are placed between first reinforcement members and incorporated into the concrete, while the third rod projects therefrom.
- a floor element manufactured by the known method has a reduced weight. Furthermore, when using smooth formwork, a bearing side is obtained that requires no further finishing.
- Traditional floor elements, whose reinforcement is entirely internal, need a relatively large portion of the materials used for carrying the weight of the floor element itself.
- the second reinforcement member used is a traditional joist for concrete slabs, which is partly incorporated into the concrete slab.
- the method according to the invention is defined by claim 2.
- the portion of the second reinforcement member incorporated into the concrete layer is partly inserted through openings of the netted reinforcement member, and the concrete is allowed to set, resulting in the reinforced prefab floor element.
- the second reinforcement With the second reinforcement according to the invention a thinner floor having the same bearing capacity can be manufactured or an equally thick floor having a greater bearing capacity.
- the first reinforcement can be placed more closely to the underside of the floor.
- the second reinforcement cannot be incorporated deeply in the concrete, and without the two rods to be incorporated in the concrete, the connection between them is poor.
- These two rods raise the cost price, not only because of the intrinsic costs, but also because of the numerous extra connections (welding points), while an excellent connection with the concrete of the concrete layer is ensured. Owing to the excellent connection of the second reinforcement with the concrete it is even possible to use fewer second reinforcements.
- the reinforcement members can be placed independently of each other (at least, provided the portions of the second reinforcement member incorporated in the concrete layer are allowed to project at least partly into the openings of the first netted reinforcement member). In practice this means that the distances are determined by the distance necessary to avoid corrosion of the reinforcement members. In the finished floor, and taking into account other factors such as fire safety, the netted reinforcement member is located as closely as possible to the underside.
- the portions of the second reinforcement member incorporated in the concrete, which face toward the bearing surface are located as closely as possible to the bearing surface.
- the thickness of the concrete layer under the first, netted reinforcement member in the finished state of the floor element, may be considerably thinner. This makes this reinforcement member more effective optionally allows it to be embodied lighter and therefor cheaper.
- the reinforcement members will generally be made of steel, it does not exclude plastic, fibres (such as glass fibres and carbon fibres) and composites of these.
- the reinforcement may have any shape, such as an I- or T-section, a spiral shape, which shapes may contribute to an improved strength or better bonding with the concrete layer.
- prefab floor element When in the present application the term bearing surface or bearing side is used, it means that after the prefab floor element has been placed, that side requires no further finishing.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a prefab floor element having an underside and upper side, which latter side forms the bearing side, which floor element comprises a concrete layer incorporating a first reinforcement member and at the underside of the floor element a partly external, second reinforcement member.
- Such a prefab floor element is disclosed in US-A-4 586 307.
- For quick and cost-efficient construction, prefab elements such as prefab floor elements are very popular. A prefab floor element known from EP 0 450 682 comprises a concrete layer with a first pre-tensioned reinforcement member. The floor element has a second reinforcement member, whose base is formed by two straight rods, which via a zigzag wire are connected with a third straight rod. In its longitudinal direction, the second reinforcement member has a V-shaped cross section. The two rods are placed up against the first reinforcement member and are incorporated in the concrete, whereas the third rod extends beyond the concrete and is strainable under tension. Relative to its load-bearing caundercity, there is a reduction in said known floor element's weight, due to the reinforcement being partly external.
- It is the object of the present invention, to provide an improved prefab floor element that is easy to manufacture.
- To this end the prefab floor element cording to the invention is defined by
claim 1. The first reinforcement member is a netted first reinforcement member and the non-external portion of the second reinforcement member partly extends through openings of the netted reinforcement member coming close to the bearing surface. - The prefab floor element according to the invention is stronger or equally strong and lighter (and therefore cheaper) while having a concrete layer of the same thickness. In the latter case fewer second reinforcement members are needed and there is more freedom with respect to the installation of pipes between the lowered ceiling and the underside of the concrete layer. The second reinforcement member, in particular the opening formed by the external portion of the reinforcement and the underside of the floor element formed, can be used for passing through conduits, and if such a floor element is used as floor element of a storey or roof, for securing a lowered ceiling. There is no need to pre-tension the reinforcement and this favourably affect the cost price of the prefab floor element.
- The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a concrete prefab floor element having internal and external reinforcement, by pouring a layer of concrete on the upper side of a formwork, wherein a first reinforcement member is incorporated into the concrete layer and a second reinforcement member is partly incorporated into the concrete layer, wherein the portion of the second reinforcement member that is not incorporated in the concrete layer comprises a rod-like element that serves for absorbing the tensile forces while the floor element is in use, and the concrete is allowed to set, resulting in a ready floor element that is separated from the formwork.
- Such a method is known. In the known method, a floor element is manufactured on its end face by pouring concrete on a formwork. In the concrete layer a first, pre-tensioned reinforcement member is incorporated. The second reinforcement member comprises a base formed by two straight rods connected via a zigzag wire with a third straight rod. The second reinforcement member has a V-shaped cross section, and the two straight rods are placed between first reinforcement members and incorporated into the concrete, while the third rod projects therefrom. A floor element manufactured by the known method has a reduced weight. Furthermore, when using smooth formwork, a bearing side is obtained that requires no further finishing. Traditional floor elements, whose reinforcement is entirely internal, need a relatively large portion of the materials used for carrying the weight of the floor element itself. In the known method, the second reinforcement member used is a traditional joist for concrete slabs, which is partly incorporated into the concrete slab.
- It is the object of the invention to provide a simplified method of manufacturing a prefab floor element.
- To this end the method according to the invention is defined by
claim 2. As the first reinforcement member a netted reinforcement member is used, the portion of the second reinforcement member incorporated into the concrete layer is partly inserted through openings of the netted reinforcement member, and the concrete is allowed to set, resulting in the reinforced prefab floor element. - With the second reinforcement according to the invention a thinner floor having the same bearing capacity can be manufactured or an equally thick floor having a greater bearing capacity. The first reinforcement can be placed more closely to the underside of the floor. With the known method, the second reinforcement cannot be incorporated deeply in the concrete, and without the two rods to be incorporated in the concrete, the connection between them is poor. These two rods raise the cost price, not only because of the intrinsic costs, but also because of the numerous extra connections (welding points), while an excellent connection with the concrete of the concrete layer is ensured. Owing to the excellent connection of the second reinforcement with the concrete it is even possible to use fewer second reinforcements. It has been shown, for instance, that according to the prior art a second reinforcement has to be used every 60 cm whereas, aided by the method according to the invention, placing a second reinforcement is only necessary every 1-1.20 m. This means a further saving. In the method according to the invention, the reinforcement members can be placed independently of each other (at least, provided the portions of the second reinforcement member incorporated in the concrete layer are allowed to project at least partly into the openings of the first netted reinforcement member). In practice this means that the distances are determined by the distance necessary to avoid corrosion of the reinforcement members. In the finished floor, and taking into account other factors such as fire safety, the netted reinforcement member is located as closely as possible to the underside. The portions of the second reinforcement member incorporated in the concrete, which face toward the bearing surface are located as closely as possible to the bearing surface. In contrast to the known method, the thickness of the concrete layer under the first, netted reinforcement member (in the finished state of the floor element), may be considerably thinner. This makes this reinforcement member more effective optionally allows it to be embodied lighter and therefor cheaper. Although the reinforcement members will generally be made of steel, it does not exclude plastic, fibres (such as glass fibres and carbon fibres) and composites of these. Likewise, the reinforcement may have any shape, such as an I- or T-section, a spiral shape, which shapes may contribute to an improved strength or better bonding with the concrete layer. When in the present application the term bearing surface or bearing side is used, it means that after the prefab floor element has been placed, that side requires no further finishing. In the present application the term prefab floor element also encompasses a roofing floor, where the floor element serves as ceiling. The second reinforcement, in particular the openings formed by the external part of the reinforcement and the underside of the formed floor element may be used for passing through conduits and in the case where such a floor element is used as floor element of a storey or roof, for fastening a lowered ceiling.
- In accordance with the present invention, a reinforcement is used as the second reinforcement, which in addition to the rod-like part comprises a further part having a saw tooth or zigzag profile, wherein points of the saw teeth or zigzag project through openings of the first reinforcement member.
- Such a second reinforcement member is easily manufactured and provides excellent strength.
- To improve the strength, the first netted reinforcement member in the finished prefab floor element is located in the bottom 35%, preferably in the bottom 25% of the thickness of the concrete layer.
- To improve the strength, the points of the second reinforcement member are located in the top 35%, preferably in the top 25% of the thickness of the concrete layer.
- Without wishing to be tied to any theory, it is believed that for an improved strength, the rod-like part and all the points of the saw tooth or zigzag profile of the further member should preferably be oriented in one plane.
- To simplify the method of manufacture it is preferred for the one plane to be placed perpendicularly to the plane of the formwork's upper side. Especially when larger spans are involved, it is preferred for the points of the saw tooth or zigzag profile to form a V in the longitudinal direction, with the points projecting, for example, alternately to the left or right. Another repeating pattern is also possible, and also a W-configuration.
- As the second reinforcement member, a reinforcement member having at least at one of its ends an end portion that extends substantially perpendicularly to the one plane of the second reinforcement is used.
- Such an end portion facilitates easy positioning of the second reinforcement member without it being able to fall over. This renders the manufacture of the prefab floor less labour-intensive. It is also useful for anchoring the second reinforcement member in the concrete layer.
- For certain applications, in particular those where the prefab floor is placed on an erected foundation or walls, it is preferred that at the ends of the two sides, the concrete layer extend beyond the external reinforcement and the thickness of the concrete layer at those ends be adjusted to a predetermined value.
- By guaranteeing a predetermined thickness, the ends of the prefab floor can be made to rest on the foundation or the top of the walls, which facilitates building.
- The invention will now be elucidated by way of the detailed description below, with reference to the drawing in which
- Fig. 1 shows a cross section through a finished prefab floor element according to the invention placed on the upper side of two walls;
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the prefab floor element of Fig. 1 according to the line II-II;
- Fig. 3 shows a detail of an end of the prefab floor element of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 4 schematically shows a cross section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 1.
- Figs. 5, 6 and 7 show three possibilities of connecting the prefab floor elements according to the invention.
- Referring now to Fig. 1, which shows a
prefab floor element 1 according to the invention in cross section, comprising aconcrete layer 2 having anunderside 3 and aupper side 4. Theupper side 4 forms the bearing surface. Incorporated in theconcrete layer 2 are afirst reinforcement member 5 of the kind well known in the art(in Fig. 2 shown to be netted), as well as asecond reinforcement member 6 according to the invention. Thesecond reinforcement member 6 comprises two kinds of elements, a rod-like element 7 and two members having azigzag profile members first reinforcement member 6 coming close to theupper side 4 of theconcrete layer 2. As can be seen, the ends 10, 11 of theconcrete layer 2 of theprefab floor element 1 reinforced with thefirst reinforcement member 6, project beyond the rod-like element 7. The free ends 10, 11 of the prefab floor element shown in Fig. 1 is supported on two walls A, A'. By ensuring that theprefab floor element 1 is manufactured such that (at least) the ends of theconcrete layer 2 have a defined, uniform thickness, it is possible to place a following wall (not shown) on top of the ends. In this context it should be noted that the term "defined uniform thickness" does not exclude the possibility of the ends having a profile to match the walls A, A', and augmenting the connection between walls A, A', and theprefab floor element 1. - The
zigzag elements like element 7 by means of, for example, welding. The rod-like element 7 is a rod-like element 7 that is under strain of tension. It is preferably manufactured from the usual reinforcing steel and a suitable diameter for aprefab floor 1 with a span of 5.4 m is 16 mm, wherein the second reinforcement members are spaced approximately 1.2 m from each other. Instead of twozigzag elements like element 7, thezigzag elements - Fig. 2 shows the
openings 12 of the nettedfirst reinforcement member 5, through which the pointed ends 9 (seen in Fig. 1) project. Thesecond reinforcement member 6, and more in particular one end of each of the elements withzigzag profile end portions prefab floor element 1, they help to prevent thesecond reinforcement members 6 from falling over. When using theprefab floor 1, theend portions second reinforcement member 6. To this end it is preferred to use anauxiliary element 14, which helps to distribute the forces over the nettedreinforcement member 5. - As will be discussed later,
floor elements 1 can be connected with one another. To augment the interconnection betweenadjacent floor elements 1, it is possible to use strengtheningelements 15 may be used. - Fig. 3 shows an
end 10 of theprefab floor element 1 depicted in Fig. 1, wherein as usual the reference numerals correspond with the above-described elements. - The schematic cross section along line IV-IV of Fig. 1 shown in Fig. 4 depicts the
concrete layer 2, the first nettedreinforcement member 5 and thesecond reinforcement member 6. Thepoints 9 of thezigzag profile 8a and the rod-like element 7 oriented towards theupper side 4, lie in one plane. Thesecond reinforcement member 6 is placed perpendicularly on thefirst reinforcement member 5. Thefirst reinforcement member 5 extends parallel to theupper side 4 of theconcrete layer 2. - The
prefab floor elements 1 according to the invention can be placed to abut against each other so as to form a larger floor element (or ceiling element). Fig. 5 (for the sake of simplicity the reinforcement according to the invention is not shown) depicts a simple embodiment, in which thefloor element 1 tapers slightly towards the bearing surface (which during manufacture may also aid separation), and whereby a V-shaped groove is formed when twoprefab floor elements 1, 1' are placed so as to abut against each other. In practice this will be filled with, for example, mortar B. - The
prefab floor elements 1, 1' may also have sides that overlap, as shown in Fig. 6. - For a very strong connection between the
floor elements 1, 1', a strip ofmetal 16, 16' may during manufacture of theconcrete layer 2 be embedded in the longitudinal sides of theconcrete layer 2, which strips 16, 16' are connected with the nettedreinforcement member 5, 5' by reinforcement means 15, 15'. As explained above, the longitudinal sides form a V-shaped groove, into which awire 17 is placed. Thewire 17 is welded to thestrips 16, 16' after which the V-shaped groove is filled with mortar, rubber or the like. - Although the invention described concerns a prefab floor element comprising a concrete layer, a different material such as plastic or glass may also be used. Likewise, the reinforcement or parts thereof may consist of materials other than metal, such as (super)fibres, the person skilled in the art is familiar with the various types (Twaron, Dyneema, glass fibre, carbon fibre, etc.). Such a floor element does not form part of the claimed invention. To the ordinary person skilled in the art it will be obvious that reference numerals with an accent correspond with those without accent but apply to another floor element. Generally, the prefab floor element will be a rectangular prefab floor element. The rod-like element of a second reinforcement member will in general extend substantially perpendicularly to the ends of the floor element. If it is desirable to keep the second reinforcement at a specific distance from the (final) top surface of the prefab floor element, it is possible to use spacers, such as two rings fastened to the bent end of the second reinforcement.
