Abstract

An axial compression steel tubular column with internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing normal-strength demolished concrete lumps and a construction process. The axial compression column includes a steel tube ( 1 ), high-strength fresh concrete ( 2 ), normal-strength demolished concrete lumps ( 3 ), a spiral stirrup ( 4 ), and longitudinal erection bars ( 6 ). The spiral stirrup ( 4 ) is arranged at a middle part inside the steel tube ( 1 ). The high-strength fresh concrete ( 2 ) is poured and the normal-strength demolished concrete lumps ( 3 ) are put alternately inside the steel tube ( 1 ). A compressive strength of the high-strength fresh concrete ( 2 ) is 30˜90 MPa greater than that of the normal-strength demolished concrete lumps ( 3 ).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of constructing an axial compression steel tubular column with an internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing demolished concrete lumps, the method comprising:
(1) spot welding a spiral stirrup to two longitudinal erection bars to form one unit, then lifting the two longitudinal erection bars together with the spiral stirrup, arranging the spiral stirrup at a middle part of a steel tube, wherein the middle part of the steel tube is centered at a midpoint of a length of the steel tube and a length of the middle part of the steel tube is three-fifths of the length of the steel tube, and then spot welding the two longitudinal erection bars with an inner wall of the steel tube;
(2) wetting the demolished concrete lumps before putting the demolished concrete lumps inside the steel tube, pouring high-strength fresh concrete into a bottom of the steel tube, wherein the high-strength fresh concrete has a 20 mm thickness in the bottom of the steel tube after being poured into the steel tube, and then alternately putting the wet demolished concrete lumps and pouring the high-strength fresh concrete into the steel tube, and vibrating the demolished concrete lumps and the high-strength fresh concrete in the steel tube until the steel tube is filled, so that demolished concrete lumps are distributed in the high-strength fresh concrete.

2. A method of constructing an axial compression steel tubular column with an internal local restraint and filled with high-strength compound concrete containing demolished concrete lumps, the method comprising:
(1) spot welding a plurality of horizontal stirrups to two longitudinal erection bars to form one unit, then lifting the two longitudinal erection bars together with the plurality of horizontal stirrups, arranging the plurality of horizontal stirrups at a middle part of a steel tube, wherein the middle part of the steel tube is centered at a midpoint of a length of the steel tube and a length of the middle part of the steel tube is three-fifths of the length of the steel tube, with a horizontal stirrup spacing between each of the plurality of horizontal stirrups being greater at end portions of the middle part of the steel tube with respect to an inner portion of the middle part of the steel tube, and then spot welding the two longitudinal erection bars with an inner wall of the steel tube;
(2) wetting the demolished concrete lumps before putting the demolished concrete lumps inside the steel tube, pouring high-strength fresh concrete into a bottom of the steel tube, wherein the high-strength fresh concrete has a 20 mm thickness in the bottom of the steel tube after being poured into the steel tube, and then alternately putting the wet demolished concrete lumps and pouring the high-strength fresh concrete into the steel tube, and vibrating the demolished concrete lumps and the high-strength fresh concrete in the steel tube until the steel tube is filled, so that the demolished concrete lumps are distributed in the high-strength fresh concrete.
