Abstract

The present invention discloses a TRC assemble permanent column formwork and a manufacturing method thereof, which belongs to the technical field of reinforced concrete building construction. The TRE assemble permanent column formwork comprises first panels, second panels, circumferential bolts, longitudinal bolts, nuts and gaskets; the formwork is manufactured from an engineered cementitious composite ECC and a woven fabric net; the first panels are used for assembling the column formwork at the two ends of a column, and the second panels are used for assembling the column formwork in the middle section of the column; the panels are provided with preformed bolt holes, and the bolt holes among the panels are corresponding to each other for bolt connections; the bolts include circumferential bolts and longitudinal bolts. The TRE permanent column formwork provided by the present invention can reduce material waste, labor cost, and project cost. Besides, the panels have advantages of easy and firm assembling, convenient transportation and low manufacturing cost, and the formwork has great application prospects.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A TRE assemble permanent column formwork, comprising first panels ( 1 ), second panels ( 2 ), circumferential bolts ( 4 ), longitudinal bolts ( 5 ), nuts and gaskets, wherein the first panels ( 1 ) are used for assembling the column formwork at the two ends of a column, the second panels ( 2 ) are used for assembling the column formwork in the middle section of the column, the panels are provided with preformed bolt holes ( 3 ) at assembling positions, and the bolt holes among the panels are corresponding to each other; the first panel ( 1 ) and the second panel ( 2 ) are in an arc shape respectively; the first panel ( 1 ) has a circular sector-shaped flat surface at the top end, a bottom end of the first panel ( 1 ) is provided with a boss, a left end of the first panel ( 1 ) is provided with a circumferential boss, and a right end of the first panel ( 1 ) is provided with a groove to be fitted with the circumferential boss; the second panel ( 2 ) has a groove at the top end and at the bottom end respectively to be fitted with the boss at the bottom end of the first panel ( 1 ), a left end of the second panel ( 2 ) is provided with a circumferential boss, and a right end of the second panel ( 2 ) is provided with a groove to be fitted with the circumferential boss; both the circumferential bolt ( 4 ) and the longitudinal bolt ( 5 ) comprise bolt heads and bolt rods at head end and at the tail end wherein the bolt rod of the circumferential bolt ( 4 ) is arc, while the bolt rod of the longitudinal bolt ( 5 ) is straight; the shape of the bolt head is a solid body formed by two semi-ellipsoidal surfaces angled with respect to each other and curved surfaces between the circumferences of the two semi-ellipsoidal surfaces; the major axes of the two semi-ellipsoidal surfaces are different from each other, the two ends of the bolt head have male threads, the semi-ellipsoidal surface of the bolt head with a shorter major axis is provided with female threads at the center, the bolt rod is connected with the bolt heads through threads, and the shape of the bolt holes is a groove to be fitted with the bolt head; the first panel ( 1 ) and the second panel ( 2 ) are manufactured from an engineered cementitious composite ECC and a woven fabric net ( 6 ), the woven fabric net ( 6 ) is arranged at the central part of the panel.

2. The TRE assemble permanent column formwork according to claim 1 , wherein the woven fabric net ( 6 ) is in an arc shape corresponding to the panel, and is at the same distance from the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the column formwork.

3. The TRE assemble permanent column formwork according to claim 2 , wherein a single column comprises 8 first panels and 4N second panels, wherein N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.

4. The TRE assemble permanent column formwork according to claim 1 , wherein all of the bolts, nuts and gaskets are made of FRP material.

5. The TRE assemble permanent column formwork according to claim 4 , wherein the FRP material of the bolts may be any of AFRP, BFRP, CFRP and GFRP.
