Abstract

A rebar structure includes a plurality of column longitudinal bars to be connected to a beam. The yield point or the 0.2% proof stress of at least a portion the column longitudinal bars is larger than the yield point or the 0.2% proof stress of a normal reinforcing bar defined by JIS G 3112.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rebar structure comprising:
a plurality of longitudinal bars extending in an axial direction; a plurality of shear reinforcing bars arranged to surround the longitudinal bars in a rectangular form in a plane intersecting the axial direction of the longitudinal bars; and
a plurality of bond reinforcing bars arranged adjacent to the shear reinforcing bars in the axial direction of the longitudinal bars,
wherein the plurality of longitudinal bars includes a first longitudinal bar, a second longitudinal bar, a third longitudinal bar and a fourth longitudinal bar that are arranged clockwise at least at four corners of the shear reinforcing bars, a fifth longitudinal bar provided between the first longitudinal bar and the second longitudinal bar and adjacent to the first longitudinal bar, a sixth longitudinal bar provided between the first longitudinal bar and the second longitudinal bar and adjacent to the second longitudinal bar, a seventh longitudinal bar provided between the third longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar and adjacent to the third longitudinal bar, and an eighth longitudinal bar provided between the third longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar and adjacent to the fourth longitudinal bar,
wherein the plurality of bond reinforcing bars includes a first bond reinforcing bar provided around at least a portion of an outer periphery of the first longitudinal bar and a portion of an outer periphery of the fourth longitudinal bar and having an inner periphery facing the fifth longitudinal bar and the eighth longitudinal bar, and
wherein the first bond reinforcing bar comprises a U-shaped portion, the U-shaped portion comprising a back section extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the longitudinal bars, a first bent section bent from a first end of the back section and a second bent section bent from a second end of the back section, the first longitudinal bar being arranged at the first bent section and the fourth longitudinal bar being arranged at the second bent section.

2. The rebar structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first bond reinforcing bar further comprises a first leg portion extending axially from the first bent section and a second leg portion extending axially from the second bent section,
wherein the U-shaped portion faces at least the first longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar, and
wherein leading ends of the first and second leg portions do not reach a middle position between the first longitudinal bar and the second longitudinal bar and a middle position between the third longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar.

3. A reinforced concrete member comprising the rebar structure of claim 1 .

4. The rebar structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of shear reinforcing bars surrounds the longitudinal bars in a rectangular form in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the longitudinal bars.

5. The rebar structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar are provided between the first and second bent sections of the first bond reinforcing bar.

6. The rebar structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal bar, the fourth longitudinal bar, the fifth longitudinal bar and the eighth longitudinal bar are provided inside the U-shaped portion.

7. The rebar structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first bond reinforcing bar is arranged such that the first bond reinforcing bar contacts one of the shear reinforcing bars.

8. A rebar structure comprising:
a plurality of longitudinal bars extending in an axial direction;
a plurality of shear reinforcing bars arranged to surround the longitudinal bars in a rectangular form in a plane intersecting the axial direction of the longitudinal bars; and
a plurality of bond reinforcing bars arranged adjacent to the shear reinforcing bars in the axial direction of the longitudinal bars,
wherein the plurality of longitudinal bars includes a first longitudinal bar, a second longitudinal bar, a third longitudinal bar and a fourth longitudinal bar that are arranged clockwise at least at four corners of the shear reinforcing bars, a fifth longitudinal bar provided between the first longitudinal bar and the second longitudinal bar and adjacent to the first longitudinal bar, a sixth longitudinal bar provided between the first longitudinal bar and the second longitudinal bar and adjacent to the second longitudinal bar, a seventh longitudinal bar provided between the third longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar and adjacent to the third longitudinal bar, and an eighth longitudinal bar provided between the third longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar and adjacent to the fourth longitudinal bar,
wherein the plurality of bond reinforcing bars includes a first bond reinforcing bar provided around at least a portion of an outer periphery of the first longitudinal bar and a portion of an outer periphery of the fourth longitudinal bar and having an inner periphery facing the fifth longitudinal bar and the eighth longitudinal bar,
wherein the first bond reinforcing bar comprises a U-shaped portion, the U-shaped portion comprising a back section extending in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the longitudinal bars and a pair of bent sections bent from respective ends of the back section,
wherein the first bond reinforcing bar further comprises a pair of leg portions having base ends connected to the bent sections and leading ends oriented in mutually approaching directions,
wherein the U-shaped portion faces at least the first longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar, and
wherein leading ends of the leg portions do not reach a middle position between the first longitudinal bar and the second longitudinal bar and a middle position between the third longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar.

9. A rebar structure comprising:
a plurality of longitudinal bars extending in an axial direction;
a plurality of shear reinforcing bars arranged to surround the longitudinal bars in a rectangular form in a plane intersecting the axial direction of the longitudinal bars; and
a plurality of bond reinforcing bars arranged adjacent to the shear reinforcing bars in the axial direction of the longitudinal bars,
wherein the plurality of longitudinal bars includes a first longitudinal bar, a second longitudinal bar, a third longitudinal bar and a fourth longitudinal bar that are arranged clockwise at least at four corners of the shear reinforcing bars, a fifth longitudinal bar provided between the first longitudinal bar and the second longitudinal bar and adjacent to the first longitudinal bar, a sixth longitudinal bar provided between the first longitudinal bar and the second longitudinal bar and adjacent to the second longitudinal bar, a seventh longitudinal bar provided between the third longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar and adjacent to the third longitudinal bar, and an eighth longitudinal bar provided between the third longitudinal bar and the fourth longitudinal bar and adjacent to the fourth longitudinal bar,
