Abstract

Construction method for producing beam and slab made of compound concrete containing demolished concrete blocks, comprises that a conventional profiled rebars are made to upper and lower L-shaped stirrups, wherein lower profiled rebar mesh are fixed up firstly, in which coarsely-crushed concrete blocks or segments are placed, then upper profiled rebar mesh are assembled on it together to form a rebar cage, and fresh concrete is poured into the mould fully. A connection portion between the upper and lower L-shaped stirrups is located around ⅓ heights of the lower L-shaped stirrup. A cold rolled rebar mesh is applied to a top rebar mesh of slab; when the bottom rebars of the slab are assembled, coarsely-crushed concrete blocks will be dosed, then the cold rolled rebar mesh will be lifted above the coarsely-crushed concrete blocks for mounting. Finally, fresh concrete is poured into the rebar cage for producing abeam and a space between top rebar mesh and bottom rebars for producing a slab.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A construction method for producing a beam and slab made of compound concrete containing demolished concrete blocks, the method comprises the steps of
1) a lower rebar mesh and an upper rebar mesh for producing a beam are made respectively, wherein
A. steps of making the lower rebar mesh comprise
placing a number of lower L-shaped stirrups at pre-specified spacing onto a open mould, wherein each lower L-shaped stirrup is U-shaped substantially, two vertical segments have a different height, in which a shorter segment is roughly equal to ⅓ heights of a longer segment; and
placing a number of bottom rebars at pre-specified spacing on horizontal segments of the lower L-shaped stirrups, and configuring a number of side bars at the vertical segments of the lower L-shaped stirrups, wherein both the bottom rebars and the side bars are orthogonal to the lower L-shaped stirrups, and are connected to the lower L-shaped stirrups rigidly at their each intersection, thereby a latticed lower rebar mesh of the beam is formed;

B. steps of making the upper rebar mesh of beam comprise
placing a number of upper L-shaped stirrups onto a specific mould; and
placing a number of upper rebars at pre-specified spacing on horizontal segments of the upper L-shaped stirrups, and configuring other side bars at a vertical segment of the upper L-shaped stirrups, wherein both the upper rebars and the other side bars are orthogonal to the upper L-shaped stirrups, and are connected to the upper L-shaped stirrups rigidly at their each intersection, thereby a latticed upper rebar mesh of the beam is thus formed;

2) placing coarsely-crushed concrete blocks or segments into the lower rebar mesh, then configuring the upper rebar mesh above the lower rebar mesh, the upper rebar mesh is connected to the lower rebar mesh through a threaded sleeve, whereby a beam rebar cage is formed; when fresh concrete has been poured into the beam rebar cage fully, a construction of the beam made of compound concrete containing demolished concrete blocks is completed.

2. The construction method of claim 1 , wherein
in the step 1), the lower and upper rebar meshes of beam are manufactured respectively, and
in the step 2), a connection portion among the lower rebar mesh and the upper rebar mesh is located at a top end of the vertical shorter segment of the lower L-shaped stirrup, after placing the coarsely-crushed concrete blocks 9 or segment 9 Q into the lower rebar mesh, the upper rebar mesh is lifted above the lower rebar mesh.

3. The construction method of claim 2 , wherein screw threads are configured on ends of vertical segments of the upper L-shaped stirrups and top ends of vertical shorter segment of the lower L-shaped stirrups respectively.

4. The construction method of claim 3 , wherein a threaded sleeve is screwed into the screw thread of each lower L-shaped stirrup, length of the screw thread of each upper L-shaped stirrup is twice a length of the threaded sleeve, and the lower L-shaped stirrups and the upper L-shaped stirrups are connected to each other by the threaded sleeves.

5. The construction method of claim 4 , wherein a length of the screw thread of each lower L-shaped stirrup is equal to or slightly larger than the length of the threaded sleeve.

6. The construction method of claim 5 , wherein an internal diameter of the threaded sleeve is equal to a diameter of the stirrups, preferably a reference diameter of an internal thread of the threaded sleeve is 10 mm.

7. The construction method of claim 4 , wherein in the step 2), when the lower rebar mesh of the beam is formed and placed into an open mould, placing the coarsely-crushed concrete blocks or segments into the lower rebar mesh, then the upper rebar mesh is lifted above the lower rebar mesh, and connected to the lower rebar mesh by threaded sleeves, and fresh concrete is poured into the beam rebar cage fully.

8. The construction method of claim 1 , further comprising steps of fixing bottom rebars of a slab onto the beam rebar cage, placing coarsely-crushed concrete blocks onto the bottom rebars of the slab, then lifting a top rebar mesh of the slab, made of a cold rolled rebar mesh, above the coarsely-crushed concrete blocks, and assembling the bottom rebars and the top rebar mesh of the slab together.

9. The construction method of claim 8 , wherein the cold rolled rebar mesh can be prefabricated based on a relevant blueprint.
