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

The invention claimed is:

1. A rebar structure comprising a column and a beam that are connected together, the column comprising a plurality of column longitudinal bars arranged to extend in a vertical direction and a plurality of column shear reinforcing bars arranged to surround the column longitudinal bars in a plane intersecting an axial direction of the column longitudinal bars, and the beam comprising a plurality of beam longitudinal bars arranged to extend in a horizontal direction,
wherein, in a beam-column connecting portion where the column and the beam are connected together, a reinforcing member having a closed form is provided to surround and to restrain the column longitudinal bars, and
a width of the reinforcing member in the axial direction of the column longitudinal bars is larger than a width of the column shear reinforcing bars in the axial direction of the column longitudinal bars, and the reinforcing member is spaced in the vertical direction away from an upper end of the beam-column connecting portion and spaced in the vertical direction away from a lower end of the beam-column connecting portion, and
wherein the plurality of column shear reinforcing bars includes a first column shear reinforcing bar and a second column shear reinforcing bar, the first column shear reinforcing bar being provided between the upper end of the beam-column connecting portion and the reinforcing member, and spaced in the vertical direction away from the upper end of the beam-column connecting portion and spaced in the vertical direction away from the reinforcing member, and the second column shear reinforcing bar being provided between the lower end of the beam-column connecting portion and the reinforcing member, and spaced in the vertical direction away from the lower end of the beam-column connecting portion and spaced in the vertical direction away from the reinforcing member.

2. The rebar structure according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member comprises an outer frame and a partition portion connecting inner surfaces of the outer frame to partition an inside of the outer frame.

3. The rebar structure according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing member has a closed frame shape in which ends of a band-shaped member are butted against each other and are connected together by welding.

4. The rebar structure according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the reinforcing member in the axial direction is ¼ to ½ of a beam depth of the beam.
