Description
- This invention relates to a reinforcement device for connection to a structure.
- In the construction of reinforced soil retaining walls, it is necessary to anchor reinforcing elements embedded in the backfill, to the facing panels of the retaining wall. This is necessary to transfer the tensile loads in the reinforcing elements into the facing panels. The connection may comprise one or more loops of reinforcement wire cast into each facing panel and corresponding loops formed on the ends of the reinforcement bars by bending over the end of each bar and welding it back on itself. The loops are aligned and a steel bar pushed through them to secure the reinforcement bars to the facing panel. To avoid reducing the tensile capacity of the loops on the end of the reinforcement bars their radius must be no less than four times their diameter. In practice, the reinforcement bars need to be formed from steel wire of at least 8 mm diameter. Thus, the cost of forming the loops and then welding them to the bars is high. Furthermore insertion of the steel bar through the loops in the facing panels and the loops on the ends of the reinforcement bars can be extremely difficult if the ends of the reinforcement bars are not bent and welded accurately. In general the use of a welded connection is expensive and requires a great deal of quality control. In the case of strip reinforcement, a bolted connection is generally used, which reduces the tensile capacity of the strip. Other types of connector are known, but these all rely on a welded joint as part of the connection.
- According to the present invention there is provided a reinforcement device for connection to a structure, comprising a reinforcement member having a hook portion for engagement around a coupling element secured to the structure, the reinforcement device also comprising a connector having spaced-apart openings receiving opposite limbs of the hook portion thereby to prevent displacement of the limbs away from each other, and to provide a tight connection.
- The coupling element preferably comprises a loop, the sides of the loop may comprise a pair of reinforcement elements anchored to and projecting from the structure in parallel and the end of the loop may comprise a third element which interconnects the reinforcement elements. The third element is preferably a removable bar. A plurality of pairs of reinforcement elements may be interconnected by a single removable bar. The coupling loops may comprise bent lengths of reinforcement bar having a diameter at least half that of the reinforcement member.
- Alternatively, each loop may comprise a single reinforcement element anchored to the structure.
- The connector may comprise a plate provided with a pair of spaced apart slots in one edge, which preferably extend for approximately /₃ of the width of the connector. In use, the connector is simply pushed onto the opposite limbs of the hook portion of reinforcement member. Alternatively, the connector may comprise a plate provided with a pair of spaced apart holes. Before the reinforcement member is connected to the coupling element the first limb is threaded through one of the holes in the plate and the plate is pushed along the reinforcement member beyond the hook portion onto the second limb. Once the reinforcement member is engaged with the coupling element, the plate is slid back such that the other hole engages the first limb.
- Preferably the diameter of the openings in the plate is slightly greater than the outside diameter of the reinforcement member, such that the plate can slide freely onto the reinforcement member. Preferably, if the reinforcement member is of round cross-section, the separation of the openings is equal to approximately four times the diameter of the reinforcement member.
- Preferably the width of the plate is at least two times the diameter of each opening.
- The reinforcement member may comprise standard ladder wire. Alternatively, the reinforcement member may comprise strip reinforcement.
- For a better understanding of the present invention, and to show how it may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Figure 1A is a diagrammatic representation of an initial stage in the construction of a reinforced soil retaining wall;
- Figure 1B is a later stage in the construction of a reinforced soil retaining wall;
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the retaining wall and reinforcement arrangement of Figure 1A;
- Figure 3 is an elevation of the retaining wall and reinforcement arrangement of Figure 1A;
- Figure 4 is an enlarged view of a connector plate shown in Figures 2 and 3;
- Figure 5A is a top view of a high adherence reinforcement strip;
- Figure 5B is a side view of the high adherence reinforcement strip shown in Figure 5A;
- Figure 6 is a plan view of an alternative embodiment of connector for use with strip reinforcement;
- Figure 7 is an elevation of the strip reinforcement connector of Figure 6; and
- Figure 8 is an enlarged view of the reinforcement connector plate shown in Figures 6 and 7.
- Figure 1A shows a reinforced soil retaining wall 2 during construction. The retaining wall 2 comprises two rows of facing
panels 4, 5 located one above the other on a levelling pad 6. Atemporary timber framework 8 holds the facingpanels 4, 5 in position during construction.Reinforcement brackets 10, 11 are cast into each facingpanel 4, 5. When the level ofbackfill 12 reaches the height of thefirst brackets 10 it is compacted and areinforcement framework 14 of ladder bars is laid onto it. Thereinforcement framework 14 is then connected to therespective brackets 10 on each of the first row of facingpanels 4. - Referring to Figure 1B,
backfill 12 is then placed over thereinforcement framework 14 and again compacted. When thebackfill 12 reaches the level of the brackets 11 of the second row of facing panels 5, a second layer of reinforcement bars (not shown) is laid and connected to the respective facing panels 5. By supporting further rows of facing panels (not shown) one above the other and backfilling, compacting , reinforcing and backfilling again, the desired height of wall is attained. - Figures 2 and 3 show in detail how the
reinforcement framework 14 is connected to the first row of facingpanels 4. Thebrackets 10 each comprise a pair of steel reinforcement bars bent back on themselves to formloops panel 4. The ends of the reinforcement bars forming theloops panel 4, such that they lie substantially parallel to the plane of the facingpanel 4. - The
reinforcing framework 14 comprises a ladder bar arrangement of longitudinal andtransverse reinforcement bars longitudinal bars 18 are each bent over at theirfree end 20 to form a hook portion 22. To avoid weakening thelongitudinal bars 18 the radius of the bend is generally not less than four times the diameter of thelongitudinal bars 18. - Prior to connection of the hook portions 22 of the
longitudinal bars 18 to thebrackets 10 in each facingpanel 4, thefree end 20 of eachlongitudinal bar 18 is inserted through anopening 24 of a connector plate 26 (see Figure 4). Theconnector plate 26 is then pushed along thelongitudinal bar 18 beyond the position of the hook portion 22. - To connect the
longitudinal bars 18 to thebrackets 10, the hook portions 22 of thelongitudinal bars 18 are inserted between respective pairs ofloops steel bar 28 is inserted through the hook portions 22 of thelongitudinal bars 18 and through of theloops brackets 10. - At this stage each
connector plate 26 is swung up and is located over thefree end 20 of the respectivelongitudinal bar 18 by means of asecond hole 30 formed in the opposite end of theconnector plate 26 to theopening 24. Theplate 26 is then pushed along thebar 18, in the direction of arrow A in Figure 3, towards the facingpanels 4. - Once all of the
longitudinal bars 18 have been secured to theirrespective brackets 10 on the respective row of facingpanels 4, the reinforcing framework is pulled, in the direction of the arrow B, away from the facingpanels 4 to remove the play in each connection. In this way eachsteel bar 28 is gripped firmly between theloops bracket 10 and the corresponding hook portion 22 of the respectivelongitudinal bar 18. Slight distortion of thereinforcing framework 14, when it is pulled, accommodates misalignment of the connections which may be present due to construction or site tolerances. - Figure 4 shows an enlarged view of the
connector plate 26 having first andsecond openings openings openings longitudinal bars 18. As will be appreciated, the size and shape of the connector plate will be determined by the particular application and by the loads which it must resist. However, as a general rule, the width of the plate should be not less than two times the diameter of theholes longitudinal bars 18 may be of 10 mm minimum diameter, so that the spacing of theholes - As an alternative to the
longitudinal bars 18 described in the previous embodiment, strip reinforcement may be used. Figure 5A and 5B show a length ofhigh adherence strip 32 having equidistantly spacedridges 34 on its upper and lower surfaces to improve adherence in soil. As shown in Figure 7, thefree end 36 of thestrip 32 is bent over to form ahook portion 38 which engages directly in abracket 40 formed from a bent length of reinforcement wire cast into each facingpanel 4. In this embodiment, connection of thereinforcement strip 32 to thebracket 40 does not require the insertion of a steel bar 28 (see Figure 2 or 3). Instead, the length L of thehook portion 38 is shorter than the length of the open loop of thebracket 40, so that thestrip 32 may simply be lifted and thehook portion 38 dropped through the loop of thebracket 40. Thestrip 32 is then pulled, in a direction B, away from the respective facingpanel 4, to secure thehook portion 38 to thebracket 40. - In this embodiment, the connection is completed by means of a
connector plate 42 shown in detail in Figure 8. Theconnector plate 42 comprises arectangular steel plate 44 provided with a pair of spaced apartslots plate 44. To complete the connection of eachstrip 32 to therespective bracket 40, theconnector plate 42 is slid on to thestrip 32 from one side. Thefirst slot 46 engages afirst limb 39 of thehook portion 38 and thesecond slot 48 engages asecond limb 41 of thehook portion 38, thereby maintaining the bend in thestrip 32 when a withdrawing force is applied to thestrip 32 in a direction B away from the facingpanel 4. - Since
respective strips 32 are not connected together like theladder bar reinforcement 18 of the previous embodiment, the position of thestrips 32 can be adjusted independently, such that simply by pulling on thestrips 32 in the direction B away from the facingpanels 4, abutment can be achieved between the hookedportion 38 of eachstrip 32 and the end of the loop of therespective bracket 40. This ensures good and consistent transfer of load from thestrips 32 to the facingpanels 4. - As with the previous embodiment, the size and general proportions of the reinforcement strips 32 and
connector plate 42 are dependent on the application and the loads to be resisted. The width of theslots connector plate 42 will be slightly greater than the thickness of thestrip 32 and the depth of theslots strip 32. Typically, the width of the strip would be 40 to 75 mm and the thickness 3.5 to 12 mm.
