Abstract

A concrete structure includes a first concrete member, a second concrete member, a sheath that is disposed in a through hole extending from the first concrete member to the second concrete member, a tension part that is inserted over the entire length of the sheath and that is subjected to a tensile force, a fixing tool that fixes the tension part to the first concrete member or the second concrete member, and an anticorrosion part that covers the fixing tool. The tension part includes a stranded wire part and a first cover that covers an outer periphery of the stranded wire part. A space between the sheath and the tension part is not filled with a grout material.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A concrete structure in which a plurality of concrete members are disposed side by side and are connected to each other, the concrete structure comprising:
a first concrete member that is disposed on one end portion of the concrete structure;
a second concrete member that is disposed on another end portion of the concrete structure;
a sheath that is disposed inside a through hole extending through the plurality of concrete members from the first concrete member to the second concrete member so that the sheath covers a wall surface surrounding the through hole;
a tension part that is inserted into the sheath over an entire length of the sheath so that an end part region of the tension part is exposed from two ends of the sheath, and that is subjected to a tensile force in a longitudinal direction of the tension part;
a fixing tool that fixes the end part region of the tension part that is exposed from the sheath to the first concrete member or the second concrete member; and
an anticorrosion part that covers the fixing tool,
wherein the tension part includes:
a stranded wire part in which a plurality of steel wires are stranded, and
a first cover layer that covers an outer periphery of the stranded wire part,

wherein a space between the sheath and the tension part is not filled with a grout material, and
wherein a communication path is formed in at least one concrete member of the plurality of concrete members, the communication path allowing an outside of the at least one concrete member and an inside of the sheath to communicate with each other.

2. The concrete structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sheath includes:
a plurality of sheath units that have a tubular shape, that are disposed side by side in the longitudinal direction, and that are connected to each other, and
a connecting member that connects the sheath units that are adjacent to each other, and

wherein a gap between the sheath units that are adjacent to each other and the communication path communicate with each other.

3. The concrete structure according to claim 2 ,
wherein the connecting member includes a communication part that allows the gap and the communication path to communicate with each other, and
wherein the communication part is disposed inside the communication path.

4. The concrete structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first cover layer is made of epoxy resin.

5. The concrete structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the tension part further includes a second cover layer that surrounds an outer peripheral side of the first cover layer and that is made of a material that differs from a material of the first cover layer.

6. The concrete structure according to claim 5 ,
wherein the second cover layer is made of polyethylene.

7. The concrete structure according to claim 5 ,
wherein the tension part further includes an oil layer that is disposed between the first cover layer and the second cover layer.

8. The concrete structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fixing tool restrains the end part region so as to be in contact with the first cover layer.

9. The concrete structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the anticorrosion part includes a cover part that is made of a disassemblable resin and that covers the fixing tool.

10. A concrete structure in which a plurality of concrete members are disposed side by side and are connected to each other, the concrete structure comprising:
a first concrete member that is disposed on one end portion of the concrete structure;
a second concrete member that is disposed on another end portion of the concrete structure;
a sheath that is disposed inside a through hole extending through the plurality of concrete members from the first concrete member to the second concrete member so that the sheath covers a wall surface surrounding the through hole;
a tension part that is inserted into the sheath over an entire length of the sheath so that an end part region of the tension part is exposed from two ends of the sheath, and that is subjected to a tensile force in a longitudinal direction of the tension part;
a fixing tool that fixes the end part region of the tension part that is exposed from the sheath to the first concrete member or the second concrete member; and
an anticorrosion part that covers the fixing tool,
wherein the tension part includes:
a stranded wire part in which a plurality of steel wires are stranded,
a first cover layer that covers an outer periphery of the stranded wire part, and
a second cover layer that surrounds an outer peripheral side of the first cover layer and that is made of a material that differs from a material of the first cover layer,

wherein the second cover layer is made of polyethylene, and
wherein a space between the sheath and the tension part is not filled with a grout material.

11. A concrete structure in which a plurality of concrete members are disposed side by side and are connected to each other, the concrete structure comprising:
a first concrete member that is disposed on one end portion of the concrete structure;
a second concrete member that is disposed on another end portion of the concrete structure;
a sheath that is disposed inside a through hole extending through the plurality of concrete members from the first concrete member to the second concrete member so that the sheath covers a wall surface surrounding the through hole;
a tension part that is inserted into the sheath over an entire length of the sheath so that an end part region of the tension part is exposed from two ends of the sheath, and that is subjected to a tensile force in a longitudinal direction of the tension part;
a fixing tool that fixes the end part region of the tension part that is exposed from the sheath to the first concrete member or the second concrete member; and
an anticorrosion part that covers the fixing tool,
wherein the tension part includes:
a stranded wire part in which a plurality of steel wires are stranded,
a first cover layer that covers an outer periphery of the stranded wire part,
a second cover layer that surrounds an outer peripheral side of the first cover layer and that is made of a material that differs from a material of the first cover layer, and
an oil layer that is disposed between the first cover layer and the second cover layer, and

wherein a space between the sheath and the tension part is not filled with a grout material.
