Description

本発明は、各種の杭の杭頭部に対する補強構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a reinforcing structure for pile heads of various piles.

鋼管を主体とする各種の杭、たとえば鋼管自体を杭体とする鋼管杭や、鋼管内にコンクリートを充填したいわゆるSC杭(外殻鋼管付き遠心力コンクリート杭)、鋼管とソイルセメントとの合成鋼管杭等にあっては、その杭頭部に補強および基礎との一体化を図るための杭頭補強筋が配筋されることが通常である。   Various piles mainly composed of steel pipes, for example, steel pipe piles with steel pipes themselves as piles, so-called SC piles filled with concrete in steel pipes (centrifugal concrete piles with shell steel pipes), synthetic steel pipes with steel pipes and soil cement In the case of a pile or the like, a pile head reinforcing bar for reinforcement and integration with the foundation is usually arranged on the pile head.

従来、この種の杭の杭頭部に対する杭頭補強筋の配筋は、図3に示すように杭の外殻を構成している鋼管1の杭頭部外周面に杭頭補強筋2の下端部をフレア溶接することで行うことが一般的である。また、たとえば特許文献1に示されるように、杭頭補強筋2を杭頭部外周面に直接溶接することに代えて、杭頭部に筒状の取付金具を多数溶接してそれら取付金具に対して鉄筋をねじ込む等して接合するという手法も提案されている。
特開2004−124700号公報
Conventionally, the reinforcement of the pile head reinforcement for the pile head of this type of pile is shown in FIG. 3 in which the pile head reinforcement 2 is provided on the outer periphery of the pile head of the steel pipe 1 constituting the outer shell of the pile. It is common to perform by flaring the lower end. Further, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, instead of welding the pile head reinforcement 2 directly to the outer peripheral surface of the pile head, a large number of cylindrical fittings are welded to the pile head, and these fittings are used. On the other hand, a method of joining by reinforcing steel bars is also proposed.
JP 2004-124700 A

しかし、図3に示すように杭頭補強筋2を杭頭部外周面に直接溶接したり、特許文献1に示されるように杭頭補強筋を接合するための取付金具を杭頭部外周面に直接溶接することは、杭頭補強筋2と基礎梁主筋との干渉が不可避であるので好ましくない。すなわち、図3に示しているように杭頭部には多数の基礎梁主筋3が格子状に配筋され、杭頭補強筋2はそれら基礎梁主筋3と交差してそれらの間を上下方向に通過する状態で配筋されることになるから、それら杭頭補強筋2と基礎梁主筋3の干渉を完全に回避することは不可能である。そのため、通常は杭頭補強筋2を避けて基礎梁主筋3を配筋するか、あるいは逆に基礎梁主筋3を避けて杭頭補強筋2を配筋せざるを得ず、いずれにしても配筋作業に手間がかかるばかりでなく最適位置に配筋ができない場合も生じることがあるので好ましくなく、有効な改善策が望まれていた。   However, as shown in FIG. 3, the pile head reinforcement 2 is welded directly to the pile head outer peripheral surface, or the mounting bracket for joining the pile head reinforcement as shown in Patent Document 1 is attached to the pile head outer peripheral surface. It is not preferable to directly weld to the pile head because interference between the pile head reinforcing bars 2 and the foundation beam main bars is inevitable. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a large number of foundation beam main bars 3 are arranged in a lattice pattern on the pile head, and the pile head reinforcement 2 crosses these foundation beam main bars 3 and moves vertically between them. Therefore, it is impossible to completely avoid the interference between the pile head reinforcement 2 and the foundation beam main reinforcement 3. Therefore, it is usually necessary to avoid the pile head reinforcement 2 and arrange the foundation beam main reinforcement 3 or conversely avoid the foundation beam reinforcement 3 and arrange the pile head reinforcement 2. Not only is it troublesome to arrange the bar, but there are cases where it is not possible to arrange the bar at the optimum position. This is not preferable, and an effective improvement measure has been desired.

上記事情に鑑み、本発明は杭頭補強筋と基礎梁主筋との干渉を回避し得る有効適切な杭頭補強構造を提供することを目的とする。   In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide an effective and appropriate pile head reinforcing structure capable of avoiding interference between a pile head reinforcing bar and a foundation beam main bar.

本発明は、杭頭に鋼板からなる杭天板を有する杭を対象として、その杭頭部に多数の杭頭補強筋を基礎梁主筋と交差する状態で配筋することにより杭頭部を補強する杭頭補強構造であって、杭天板の上面に鋼製のリングプレートを溶接し、そのリングプレートの上面に多数の杭頭補強筋の下端を溶接することにより、それら杭頭補強筋を杭の外形輪郭にほぼ沿う仮想の正八角形の輪郭を形成するように配列した状態で配筋することを特徴とする。本発明においてはリングプレートの外形輪郭を正八角形とすることが好ましい。   The present invention is intended for a pile having a pile top plate made of a steel plate at the pile head, and the pile head is reinforced by arranging a large number of pile head reinforcement bars in a state intersecting the foundation beam main reinforcement. A pile head reinforcement structure that welds a steel ring plate to the top surface of the pile top plate and welds the bottom ends of a number of pile head reinforcement bars to the top surface of the ring plate. The bar arrangement is performed in a state of being arranged so as to form an imaginary regular octagonal outline substantially along the outline outline of the pile. In the present invention, the outer contour of the ring plate is preferably a regular octagon.

本発明によれば、杭天板に溶接したリングプレートの上面に杭頭補強筋の下端を溶接することにより、杭頭補強筋をリングプレートを介して杭頭から直上に立ち上げるように配筋するが、それら杭頭補強筋を杭の外形輪郭にほぼ沿う仮想の正八角形の輪郭を形成するように配列することにより、それら杭頭補強筋の配列を基礎梁主筋と平行もしくは45度の角度で交差させることが可能となり、それにより杭頭補強筋と基礎梁主筋との干渉を自ずと回避し易くなり、杭頭補強筋や基礎梁主筋をほぼ等間隔で整然と適正配筋することが可能となる。また、リングプレートの外形輪郭を正八角形としておけば、その上面に杭頭補強筋を溶接する際にはリングプレートの外形輪郭に沿って杭頭補強筋を配列することでそれらの配列は自ずと正八角形になるから、杭頭補強筋の位置決めのための墨出し作業を容易に行うことができる。   According to the present invention, by arranging the lower end of the pile head reinforcement bar on the upper surface of the ring plate welded to the pile top plate, the reinforcement is arranged so that the pile head reinforcement bar rises directly from the pile head via the ring plate. However, by arranging these pile head reinforcements so as to form a virtual regular octagonal outline that almost follows the outline outline of the pile, the arrangement of these pile head reinforcements is parallel to the foundation beam main bar or an angle of 45 degrees. This makes it easier to avoid interference between the pile head reinforcement and the foundation beam main reinforcement, and makes it possible to arrange the pile head reinforcement and foundation beam reinforcement in an orderly and appropriate manner. Become. In addition, if the outer contour of the ring plate is a regular octagon, when the pile head reinforcement is welded to its upper surface, the pile head reinforcement is arranged along the outer contour of the ring plate, so that the arrangement of the octagon is naturally Since it becomes a square shape, the marking operation for positioning the pile head reinforcement can be easily performed.

本発明をSC杭(外殻鋼管付き遠心力コンクリート杭)に適用する場合の一実施形態を図1〜図2を参照して説明する。本実施形態におけるSC杭10は、その外殻が鋼管11からなり、鋼管11の内周面には所定厚の遠心力コンクリート12が一体に形成され、杭頭には環状の鋼板からなる杭天板13が一体に設けられているものである。   One embodiment when the present invention is applied to an SC pile (centrifugal concrete pile with a shell steel pipe) will be described with reference to FIGS. The SC pile 10 according to the present embodiment has an outer shell made of a steel pipe 11, a centrifugal concrete 12 having a predetermined thickness is integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface of the steel pipe 11, and a pile head made of an annular steel plate at the pile head. The plate 13 is provided integrally.

図1に示すように、このSC杭10の直上には多数の基礎梁主筋14が格子状に配筋され、それら基礎梁主筋14と交差する状態で多数(図示例では24本)の杭頭補強筋15を配筋するのであるが、本実施形態ではそれら杭頭補強筋15をリングプレート16を介して杭頭より立ち上げて配筋することとし、しかもそれら杭頭補強筋15をSC杭10の外形輪郭にほぼ沿う仮想の正八角形の輪郭を形成するように配列することとしている。   As shown in FIG. 1, a large number of foundation beam main bars 14 are arranged in a lattice pattern directly above the SC pile 10, and a large number (24 in the illustrated example) pile heads intersect with the foundation beam main bars 14. The reinforcing bars 15 are arranged. In this embodiment, the pile head reinforcing bars 15 are raised from the pile head via the ring plate 16 and arranged, and the pile head reinforcing bars 15 are arranged as SC piles. They are arranged so as to form a virtual regular octagonal outline substantially along the 10 outlines.

リングプレート16はたとえば厚さ36mm程度の鋼板製のもので、その中心部には杭天板13の内径よりもやや大きい中心孔を有しているものであるが、図1(b)に示すように上面側の外周部が外側にフランジ状に張り出すことで外形輪郭は正八角形とされており、杭天板13上に重ねられてその内周および外周がそれぞれ全周にわたって杭天板13に対して溶接されることで杭頭部に強固に一体化されるものである。   The ring plate 16 is made of, for example, a steel plate having a thickness of about 36 mm, and has a central hole slightly larger than the inner diameter of the pile top plate 13 at the center, as shown in FIG. In this way, the outer peripheral portion on the upper surface side projects outwardly in a flange shape, so that the outer contour is a regular octagon. Is firmly integrated with the pile head.

杭頭補強筋15としてはたとえばD25程度の異形スタッドを採用し、その下端をそれぞれリングプレート16の上面に溶接するのであるが、それら杭頭補強筋15はSC杭10の外形輪郭どうりに円形に配列されるではなく、リングプレート16の外形輪郭に合わせて正八角形をなすように配列され、それによりそれら杭頭補強筋15はSC杭10の外形輪郭にほぼ沿う仮想の正八角形を形成するように配列されることになる。   As the pile head reinforcement 15, for example, a deformed stud of about D25 is adopted and its lower end is welded to the upper surface of the ring plate 16. The pile head reinforcement 15 is circular in the outer contour of the SC pile 10. The pile head reinforcing bars 15 are arranged so as to form a regular octagon in accordance with the outer contour of the ring plate 16, so that the pile head reinforcing bars 15 form a virtual regular octagon substantially along the outer contour of the SC pile 10. Will be arranged as follows.

なお、リングプレート16に対する杭頭補強筋15の溶接はスタッド溶接により行うことが好ましく、それによれば図3に示した従来例のように杭頭補強筋2を鋼管1の外周面にフレア溶接する場合に比較して溶接品質とその信頼性を向上させることができる。   The pile head reinforcing bar 15 is preferably welded to the ring plate 16 by stud welding. According to this, the pile head reinforcing bar 2 is flared to the outer peripheral surface of the steel pipe 1 as in the conventional example shown in FIG. Compared to the case, the welding quality and its reliability can be improved.

また、リングプレート16の外形輪郭は必ずしも正八角形とすることはなくSC杭10の外形輪郭と同様に円形としておくことでも良いが、上記のようにリングプレート16の外形輪郭を正八角形としておけば、その上面に杭頭補強筋15を溶接する際にはリングプレート16の外形輪郭に沿って杭頭補強筋15を配列することでそれらの配列は自ずと正八角形になるから、杭頭補強筋15の位置決めのための墨出し作業を容易に行うことができる。   Further, the outer contour of the ring plate 16 is not necessarily a regular octagon, but may be a circle similar to the outer contour of the SC pile 10. However, if the outer contour of the ring plate 16 is a regular octagon as described above. When the pile head reinforcement 15 is welded to the upper surface of the pile head reinforcement 15, the pile head reinforcement 15 is arranged along the outer contour of the ring plate 16. It is possible to easily perform the ink marking work for positioning.

上記のように杭頭補強筋15を正八角形に配列することにより、それら杭頭補強筋15の配列を基礎梁主筋14と平行もしくは45度の角度で交差させることができ、したがって杭頭補強筋15と基礎梁主筋14との干渉を自ずと回避し易くなり、基礎梁主筋14の配筋作業を容易に行うことが可能となるばかりでなく、杭頭補強筋15および基礎梁主筋14の双方をほぼ等間隔で整然と適正配筋することが可能であるし、各杭頭補強筋15の配筋位置がSC杭10の外形輪郭に対して大きくずれてしまうようなこともない。換言すれば、杭頭補強筋15の配列をSC杭10の外径輪郭と同様に円形に配列することでは従来と同様に基礎梁主筋14との干渉が不可避であることは言うに及ばず、杭頭補強筋15の配列を正八角形以外のたとえば任意の正多角形とすることでは、やはり杭頭補強筋15と基礎梁主筋14との干渉を有効に回避できるものではないし、杭頭補強筋15の配筋位置もSC杭10の外形輪郭に対して大きくずれてしまうから無意味である。   By arranging the pile head reinforcing bars 15 in a regular octagon as described above, the pile head reinforcing bars 15 can be intersected with the foundation beam main bars 14 at an angle of 45 degrees or parallel to each other. 15 and the basic beam main bar 14 are naturally easily avoided, and it is possible not only to easily perform the bar arrangement work of the basic beam main bar 14, but also to connect both the pile head reinforcing bar 15 and the base beam main bar 14 to each other. It is possible to arrange the bars in an orderly manner at almost equal intervals, and the bar arrangement positions of the pile head reinforcing bars 15 are not greatly deviated from the outline of the SC pile 10. In other words, it goes without saying that the arrangement of the pile head reinforcement bars 15 is circular in the same manner as the outer diameter contour of the SC pile 10 and interference with the foundation beam main bars 14 is unavoidable as in the past. If the arrangement of the pile head reinforcing bars 15 is an arbitrary regular polygon other than a regular octagon, for example, the interference between the pile head reinforcing bars 15 and the foundation beam main bars 14 cannot be effectively avoided. The 15 bar arrangement positions are also meaningless because they greatly deviate from the outline of the SC pile 10.

上記構造による杭頭部を施工する際の作業手順としては、SC杭10を製作する際にその杭天板13の上面にリングプレート16を予め溶接しておき、そのSC杭10を施工した後、リングプレート16の上面に杭頭補強筋15の溶接位置の墨出しを行って各杭頭補強筋15をスタッド溶接により順次溶接すれば良い。その後、必要に応じて適宜の補強筋17(図1(b)参照)を配筋した後、その上に基礎梁主筋14を格子状に配筋すれば良い。なお、可能であればリングプレート16に予め墨出しを行っておいても良い。   As a work procedure when constructing a pile head with the above structure, after manufacturing the SC pile 10, the ring plate 16 is welded in advance to the upper surface of the pile top plate 13 and the SC pile 10 is constructed. The pile head reinforcement 15 may be marked on the upper surface of the ring plate 16 and the respective pile head reinforcements 15 may be sequentially welded by stud welding. Thereafter, an appropriate reinforcing bar 17 (see FIG. 1B) is arranged as necessary, and then the foundation beam main bar 14 is arranged in a lattice shape thereon. If possible, inking may be performed on the ring plate 16 in advance.

あるいは、他の施工手順として、既製品のSC杭10をそのまま通常どうり施工した後、現場にて杭天板13の上面にリングプレート16を溶接し、そのリングプレート16上に杭頭補強筋15を溶接することでも良い。   Alternatively, as another construction procedure, an off-the-shelf SC pile 10 is normally constructed as it is, and then the ring plate 16 is welded to the top surface of the pile top plate 13 at the site, and the pile head reinforcement on the ring plate 16 15 may be welded.

さらに、リングプレート16に予め杭頭補強筋15を溶接してそれらをユニット化しておき、そのユニットを現場にて杭天板13に対して一括して溶接することでも良い。その場合には、リングプレート16を周方向に複数に分割した形態のユニットとすることも考えられる。   Further, the pile head reinforcing bars 15 may be welded to the ring plate 16 in advance to unitize them, and the unit may be collectively welded to the pile top plate 13 at the site. In that case, it can be considered that the ring plate 16 is divided into a plurality of units in the circumferential direction.

なお、上記実施形態はSC杭への適用であるが、本発明はSC杭のみならず、リングプレートを溶接可能な杭天板を有するものであれば他の形式の杭にも同様に適用できることは言うまでもない。   In addition, although the said embodiment is application to SC pile, if this invention has a pile top plate which can weld not only SC pile but a ring plate, it can be applied similarly to other types of pile. Needless to say.
