Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for increasing the tensile load of a strip-shaped material.
  • lamellae made of composite materials have been used in addition to steel lamellae for several years. These composites are glued to the support structure, either limply without longitudinal prestressing or prestressed via end anchors.
  • end anchors are known and various fastening methods for transmitting force from a force introduction element to the composite material are already introduced in the market.
  • the transmissible forces are smaller than the tensile strength of the composite, which has the disadvantage that the tensile potential of the vertential
  • the composite material can only be exploited to a limited extent, which leads to uneconomic solutions.
  • the tensile forces occurring during the pretensioning are transferred via frictional forces by clamping or gluing from a tensioning anchor to the composite material.
  • the main problem with the force applications available today is that stress peaks occur at the transition from the composite material to the tension anchor.
  • the maximum transferable tensile load is reached when the thrust in the stress peaks reaches the maximum transferable static friction, respectively the maximum transferable adhesive strength.
  • the band-shaped material is stretched over the clamping anchor to the preload load. This creates voltage spikes at the transition from the strip-shaped material to the clamping anchor.
  • an extension element with the band-shaped material in a tensioned state with an adhesive or mechanically connected.
  • the bond between the agent and the composite is de-energized at this time.
  • the resulting additional stresses are mainly transferred via the upstream means directly into the support structure and not or only slightly in the tension anchor. The result is an increase in the overall load while maintaining the required safety factor.
  • the clamping anchor can also be referred to as a clamping head and can be designed essentially as desired.
  • this clamping anchor consists of two pressure plates and at least one guided by the composite tension element, eg bolts.
  • the composite material is supported with two pressure plates by means of uniformly distributed pressure elements or by means of acting on the entire pressure surface hydraulic pressure chamber supported against a bow-shaped yoke.
  • clamping wedges are used, which are pressed by elliptical ring hoop to the composite material.
  • the inventive solution can be used for any existing on the market tension anchor.
  • This means for reducing stress peaks at the transition to the clamping anchor can be an extension element which is mechanically anchored and / or glued to the composite material and tensile strength to the clamping anchor or the cross-beam.
  • the cross-beam is connected in the second process step by injecting an adhesive to the composite material.
  • FIG. 1 a force introduction element 1 comprising a conventionally known clamping anchor 20 and an extension element 4 shown after a clamping process.
  • the clamping anchor 20 is as known from the prior art on a band-shaped material 5, in particular composite material, hereinafter referred to only lamella attached, be it by gluing, clamping, etc.
  • the clamping process can be done first with a tensile force in the pulling direction 11, wherein the tensioning press is temporarily arranged on the tensioning anchor 20.
  • the clamping anchor 20 is held, for example by means of threaded rods in an anchoring tube or shear pin, not shown, which is fixed in a borehole in a support structure 10.
  • adhesive 6 is applied to the band-shaped composite material 5 and to the adjacent region of the tensioning anchor 20.
  • the adhesive is especially pasty to facilitate processing.
  • the extension element 4 is placed on the lying on the band-shaped composite material 5 adhesive mass 6 and glued to the clamping anchor 20.
  • the extension element 4 must be connected to the tension anchor 20 tensile.
  • the shape of the extension element 4 depends on the choice of material of the extension element 4 and the thickness of the composite material 5 and is chosen, inter alia, that the extension element 4 tapers toward the composite material 5 back away from the clamping anchor.
  • the extension element 4 can take any shape, but preferably have a tongue or wedge-shaped configuration in order to optimally reduce the voltage peaks. Also in the extension element 4 in the pulling direction 11 a few centimeters long ribs and folds can be introduced in order to ensure optimum bonding and optimal stress relief.
  • the extension element 4 preferably has a length, in each case on the top and bottom of the band-shaped composite material 5, of 100 mm, in particular 50 mm. In the middle of the extension element, this preferably has a thickness of not more than 10 mm, in particular not more than 5 mm.
  • the extension element 4 and the clamping anchor 20 is preferably made of metallic, ductile materials, in particular of aluminum, steel or titanium.
  • the adhesive 6, e.g. a 2-component adhesive based on epoxy resins, must have good adhesion not only to the composite material 5 but also to the extension element 4 and should have high strength.
  • the composite material 5 may be configured in the form of a lamella consisting of fibers and a synthetic resin.
  • the fibers may be unidirectional in one direction, or additionally fibers in other directions, in particular an angle plus 45 ° and minus 45 °, may be constructed to the unidirectional main fiber direction.
  • the fibers may preferably be of aramid, carbon, glass, etc. embedded in a synthetic resin.
  • the synthetic resin may be a duromer such as epoxy, acrylates or a thermoplastic material such as polyamide, epoxy, acrylates.
  • the surface of the composite material 5 is preferably specially embossed, for example, roughened by grinding or pretreated with an adhesive or treated with a pretreatment system, such as primers, plasma, etc.
  • FIG. 2 is a further non-inventive embodiment of a force introduction element 1 is shown.
  • the force introduction element 1 consists of plates 12, which form the clamping anchor 20 and of tongue-shaped extensions 15 with recesses 14, which form the extension element 4.
  • the plates 12 are connected to the blade 5 as known in the art.
  • adhesive 6 is applied to the band-shaped composite material 5 in the region of the tongue-shaped extensions 15.
  • the adhesive should have a consistency such that it can be introduced into the recesses 14 formed by the tongue-shaped extensions.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B is a force introduction element 1 shown in a further embodiment.
  • the clamping process can also be done here first with a tensile press, which is temporarily arranged on the clamping anchor 20. Then the tensile load of the composite material 5 is taken over by a cross-beam 2. Threaded rods 9 are attached laterally to the clamping anchor 20, these threaded rods 9 passing through the transverse cross-member 2 of the clamping anchor 20.
  • the clamping anchor 20 is held via the transverse cross member 2 and the threaded rod 9 in an anchoring tube or shear pin, not shown, which is fastened in a borehole in a support structure 10. By turning a threaded screw 8 of the threaded rod 9, the tension of the composite material 5 can be increased.
  • Adhesive 6 is applied to the band-shaped composite material 5 after the clamping process of the force introduction element 1 in the pulling direction 11 in a second step on and in front of the transverse cross member 2 with respect to the clamping anchor 20.
  • the adhesive is particularly pasty to facilitate processing.
  • An extension element 4 is placed on the lying on the band-shaped composite material 5 adhesive mass 6 and glued to the cross-beam 2 of the clamping anchor 20 and preferably mechanically through lateral sliding of the extension element 4 anchored in the cross-beam 2. For this purpose, the cross-Traverse on clamp-like extensions.
  • the extension element 4 is characterized tensile strength connected to the cross-beam 2.
  • the shape of the extension element 4 is also here as in all examples after the choice of material of the extension element 4 and the thickness of the composite material 5 and is chosen, inter alia, that the extension element 4 tapers toward the composite material 5 back from the cross-Traverse.
  • the extension element 4 can take any shape, but preferably have a tongue or wedge-shaped configuration in order to optimally reduce the voltage peaks. Also, a few centimeters long ribs and folds 13 can be introduced into the extension element 4 in the pulling direction 11, in order to ensure optimum bonding and optimal stress relief.
  • FIG. 3C shows the force introduction system 1, in which carried out after the clamping process, a bond 6 between the cross-beam 2 and the composite material 5 and the extension member 4 is attached.
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B show that after the clamping process of a force introduction element 1 in the pulling direction 11 in a second step, the transverse cross member 2 is connected to the composite material 5 by injecting an adhesive 6, the transverse cross member 2 thus assumes the function of the extension element 4.
  • Traverse 2 is glued to the composite material 5 in a second step, the voltage peaks at the occurrence of an operating load both at the location of the transverse cross member 2 and the composite material 5 and at the location of the cross-beam 2 and the force application element 1 are highest and decrease in the pulling direction 11.
  • the extension element 4 is placed on the adhesive mass 6 on the band-shaped composite material 5 and glued to the cross-beam 2 of the force introduction element 1 and fixed with at least one screw 7.
  • the extension element 4 has an extension with holes through which the screws can be guided and connected to the transverse cross member.
  • the extension element 4 is specially shaped on the lower side toward the composite material 5 in order to guarantee a good bond and thus a high stress load in the pulling direction 11.

  • the lower side of the extension element 4 toward the composite material 5 is, for example, according to FIG Fig. 6A wedge-shaped, according to Fig. 6C zigzag or according to Fig. 6D wavy. In the area of the taper, it may be necessary to dispense with a special shape due to the small thickness of the extension element. These above-described shapes can also be applied to the cross-beam 2.
