Бетонная винтовая свая

Номер: RU0000179155U1
Автор: Антон Вячеславович Тяпугин
Принадлежит: Антон Вячеславович Тяпугин

Полезная модель относится к области строительства, а именно к элементам фундамента зданий, опор линий электропередач, опор контактной сети, вышек сотовой связи, ограждений, анкерных закреплений, в опорах временных мостов, трубопроводов, причалов и пр.Техническим результатом полезной модели бетонной винтовой сваи является уменьшение стоимости затрат при изготовлении, транспортировке и монтаже данной бетонной винтовой сваи за счет того, что при ее производстве полый бетонный ствол формируется не закладкой в тело сваи профильной трубы, а технической операцией, позволяющей сформировать данную продольную полость по всей длине сваи, не применяя профильную трубу. При монтаже сваи в продольную полость на всю длину вставляется металлический ключ, вращая за который происходит погружение сваи. Продольное армирование производится обычной рифленой арматурой. Это техническое решение данной полезной модели позволяет значительно снизить себестоимость и вес готовой бетонной винтовой сваи, что приводит в свою очередь к упрощению монтажа бетонной винтовой сваи при строительстве, а также значительно снижает стоимость транспортировки сваи до объекта строительства.Заявленная полезная модель состоит из конструкции бетонной винтовой сваи, выполненной в виде полого ствола бетона, полость которого имеет многоугольное сечение и идет по всей длине бетонного тела сваи. Арматурный каркас выполнен из продольной арматуры обвитой по всей длине арматурой, выполненной в виде спирали, при этом полый ствол из бетона на оконечной части имеет металлический наконечник с буром.

Steel pipe pile and steel pipe pile implementation method

Номер: US20130272801A1
Автор: Masamichi Sawaishi, Masatoshi Wada
Принадлежит: Nippon Steel and Sumikin Engineering Co Ltd

Since the distal backside is provided on a rear side of a wing edge in an entering direction, when a steel pipe pile is rotationally driven into the ground, the distal backside resists against the rotation moment with the wing edge at the center. Thus, while avoiding the off-centered movement of the steel pipe pile and ensuring linearity, the steel pipe pile can be penetrated into the ground. Further, since a slanted opening is provided at a front side of the wing edge in the entering direction, soil excavated in accordance with the rotational drive into the ground can be smoothly introduced into the steel pipe pile body through the slanted opening. Thus, while restraining the ground resistance in accordance with the entering, the soil introduced into the steel pipe pile body can be pushed upward, thereby reducing an increase in the penetration resistance caused by clogging within the pipe.

HELICAL PILE WITH HEAT EXCHANGER

Номер: US20210002843A1
Автор: Kemp Timothy Michael
Принадлежит:

A helical pile including a heat exchanger is described. The pile is formed from a lead section and one or more extension sections. The interior of the lead and extension sections are hollow and form a heat exchanger cavity. At the lower end of the lead section is a helical blade. Rotation of the lead section causes the helical blade to screw into the ground, thus pulling the lead section downward. Extension sections are added to the lead section and the pile is rotated until it is installed to a desired depth. The pile includes an inflow tube extending a predetermined distance into the heat exchanger cavity and an outflow port connected with the heat exchanger cavity. In operation, a heat carrying fluid is pumped into the inflow tube from a heat source or sink, for example, a heat pump for a building heating and cooling system. The fluid exits the tube at a point near the bottom of the heat exchanger cavity. The fluid flows upward through the heat exchange cavity and exchanges heat with the surrounding soil. The fluid flows out through the outflow port and back to the heat source or sink. 1.

In a machine for driving screw anchors and other foundation components, a desired embedment depth is calculated based on a minimum required embedment depth, work point height and length of available upper leg sections. Once calculated, the machine automatically drives the screw anchor to the depth so that one of the available upper leg lengths will fit between the driven screw anchor and apex truss hardware. If a secondary condition is satisfied that guarantees sufficient pull-out strength, a new upper leg length may be selected and the driving operation terminated prior to reaching the desired embedment depth, reducing the amount of material necessary to construct the truss foundation.
