The topic of this article is reinforced concrete load-bearing and enclosing structures. We have to understand their classifications and get acquainted with the requirements for installation work set out in the current regulatory documents.

Classification

What types of reinforced concrete structures are used in construction?

  • Monolithic. The most obvious example is modern frame-monolithic apartment buildings. The supporting frame of the building is cast on site in removable formwork; After the concrete has gained strength, enclosing walls and partitions are erected from light porous materials.
  • Prefabricated. An example of such a design is panel house: it is built from ready-made elements. Installation of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, as a rule, comes down to combining the frame reinforcing the structural elements by welding and concreting the seams.

Useful: this technology, among other things, allows the use of structural elements with prestressed reinforcement. Reinforcing rods heated by high currents, when cooled, are stretched and thereby increase the bending strength of the product. The method of producing reinforced concrete with reinforced tension implies industrial conditions.

  • Prefabricated - monolithic. This type of structure includes, for example, a floor made of slabs laid on monolithic crossbars.

In addition, during the construction of buildings and industrial facilities, dissimilar elements can be combined into a single structure. Joint installation of reinforced concrete and steel structures used, for example, when creating open warehouses adjacent to a building: beams or canopy trusses are welded to embedded parts in concrete or anchored to a monolith.


Regulations

What documents regulate the installation of reinforced concrete products?

We have to familiarize ourselves primarily with the contents of the last document: it contains the most complete information on installation work.

SNiP 3.03.01-87

The document applies to the following list of works:

  • Construction of monolithic concrete and reinforced concrete walls, beams, columns, ceilings and other load-bearing and enclosing structures.

  • Installation of prefabricated reinforced concrete and metal structures on a construction site.
  • Welding of installation connections metal structures, welding of connections of reinforcement of reinforced concrete products and embedded parts in them.
  • Construction from stone, ceramic, silicate and concrete blocks.

The work begins with drawing up a work plan (work plan). The project, among other things, must include a statement of the order of basic operations, taking into account the safety and manufacturability of construction.

All materials used must comply with applicable standards and/or specifications.

Let's study the basic requirements of SNiP.

Warehousing and moving

When storing, structural elements must be supported by rectangular gaskets with a thickness of at least 30 millimeters. For multi-tier storage, the spacers should be located on the same vertical line.

The valve outlets are protected from damage. Surfaces with a texture to ensure better adhesion to concrete also require protection.

Storage is carried out taking into account the installation order. In this case, the factory markings must remain visible.

Metal fasteners (bolts, nuts, etc.) are stored exclusively in indoors; they must be sorted by size, strength class, and in the case of high-strength products - by batch.

Dragging any products is prohibited. Lifting equipment is used to move or deliver to the work site. Slinging is carried out using the mounting loops or in the places indicated in the working drawings.

Let us clarify: ENiR for installation and construction work (a document containing uniform standards and prices) is based on moving cargo weighing up to 50 kg over a distance of up to 30 meters with your own hands, without the use of loading equipment.

The slinging method must prevent the slings from shifting and damaging the reinforcement. It is prohibited to rig products beyond the fittings. The position of the element during lifting should be as close as possible to the design one (that is, for example, a wall panel is delivered to the work site in a vertical position, and a floor panel in a horizontal position).


Elements rise without jerking or swinging; the required orientation in space is achieved by using guy wires (one for vertically oriented elements and at least two for horizontal parts of the structure).

The lifting is performed in two steps:

  1. The product is raised by 20-30 cm to check the quality of the sling.
  2. After checking, further ascent is carried out.

The method of fixing the elements must prevent their displacement at any stage of installation. Until it is securely fixed (permanent or temporary), the product cannot be used as a support for other structural elements.

Concrete works

According to SNiP, mixtures prepared in accordance with the following requirements:

Dosing of concrete components is carried out by weight. Only modifying additives (plasticizers, antifreeze, etc.) can be dosed according to the volume of mixing water.

The ratio of components is determined separately for each batch of cement and aggregate with mandatory control of samples for mobility and strength.

It is prohibited to increase the mobility of concrete by introducing water into it.


Before concreting, the surfaces of working joints must be cleaned of dirt, dust, debris, grease and oil stains, cement film, snow and ice. Immediately before laying concrete, the surface is washed with water and dried with a stream of air. The instruction is related to a decrease in the adhesion of cement to the base when the surface is contaminated.

Concrete is laid in horizontal layers of equal thickness.

When vibrating, the vibrator should not rest on reinforcement, embedded parts or formwork. The deep vibrator should be immersed 5-10 cm into the previously laid layer and move in increments of no more than one and a half radii of action; the surface one moves with a 10-centimeter overlap of the vibrated area.


Laying the next layer of concrete is permissible either before the previous layer has set, or after it has gained strength of at least 1.5 MPa. The same strength is necessary so that concrete can be walked on or the formwork of the overlying part of the structure can be installed.

Concrete processing

It may include cutting expansion joints, openings and technological holes.

  • For all work, SNiP provides for the use of diamond tools. It is quite natural: despite the fact that its price is quite high, cutting reinforced concrete with diamond wheels is cheaper than the same work done with conventional abrasives. The reason is the huge difference in wear rate.

Useful: in addition, diamond drilling of holes in concrete, in contrast to the use of Pobedit drills and crowns, makes the edges of the hole perfectly smooth.

  • The tool is cooled with water with the addition of surfactants, which reduce energy losses to overcome friction.
  • The strength of concrete at the time of processing must reach at least 50% of the design strength.

Reinforcement

Weldless connections of reinforcing bars are made using annealed binding wire. For butt connections, the use of crimp sleeves and screw couplings is allowed.

It is preferable to use large-block reinforcing products or factory-made meshes.

When installing reinforcement, it is necessary to maintain the thickness of the protective layer of concrete to prevent contact of the reinforcement with atmospheric air and water.

Prefabricated structures

How does the document regulate the installation of prefabricated concrete and reinforced concrete structures?

  • In the general case, the next tier of a multi-tiered structure is erected not only after connecting the reinforcing frames by welding, but also after sealing the seams and gaining concrete strength specified in the PPR. Exceptions are specifically stated in the draft.

  • Temporary mounting ties can be used to secure the structural element during assembly. Their quantity, type and order of application are again specified in the PPR.
  • For concreting joints, it is not allowed to use mortar that has begun to set. The consequence of violating this rule is a catastrophic drop in the compressive strength of the assembly seam.
  • Crossbars, load-bearing trusses, intercolumn slabs and rafter beams are laid dry on the supporting surfaces of the columns, without mortar. Floor slabs are laid on the mortar; in this case, the thickness of its layer should not exceed 20 mm. The surfaces of adjacent slabs are leveled from the ceiling side.
  • When installing ventilation units, you should monitor the filling of horizontal joints with mortar. There should be no gaps left.
  • Plumbing cabins are placed on spacers aligning the vertical axis of the risers. The holes for risers are sealed after pressure testing of hot and cold water supply systems.

  • For grouting the seams of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, concrete based on quick-hardening Portland cement (grade M400 and higher) is used. The use of hardening accelerators is allowed and even recommended. Maximum size aggregate grains in concrete should not exceed 1/3 of the minimum cross-section of the joint and 3/4 minimum distance between reinforcement elements.
  • At the time of removing the formwork, the concrete must reach the minimum strength specified in the design.

Please note: unless otherwise specified, formwork is removed after reaching 50% of the nominal strength.

  • During installation of welded steel structural elements, shock impacts on them at low temperatures are prohibited. To be precise, for steels with a yield strength of 390 MPa or less, the lower temperature limit is -25 C, and for steels with a yield strength above 390 MPa - 0 degrees.

Topic 7 “Installation of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures”

Issues covered:

    General information

    Methods for performing installation work

    Features of installation of single-story industrial buildings.

1General information

Installation of reinforced concrete structures is the process of their assembly, i.e. installation and fastening in the designed position. Installation includes three types of work:

1. Preparatory:

Unloading Vehicle

Warehousing

Enlarged assembly

2. Basic

Stropovka

Moving to the installation site

Aiming, lowering and installing elements

Their temporary fastening and alignment with finishing to the design position, final fastening, grouting of joints (seams).

3. Final

Sealing a joint (seam) is the process of sealing it with concrete or cement mortar.

Transportation of reinforced concrete materials. Prefabricated structures must be delivered from the manufacturer to the construction site without damage. The enterprise is responsible for loading, and the transporting organization is responsible for safety.

To avoid damage, prefabricated products are placed on vehicles, if possible, in the design position (wall and partition panels in a vertical position or slightly inclined, truss beams in an edge-on position, other elements in a horizontal position.

Transportation of reinforced concrete products can be carried out by road and railway transport.

Installation of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures should be carried out directly from vehicles (“from wheels”); there are three schemes for organizing work “from wheels”:

2. Half-shuttle

3. Shuttle

With the pendulum scheme, a tractor with a trailer is loaded in a warehouse, transports the product to the site, stands in the crane’s installation area, and the crane installs the product directly from the vehicle. At the same time, the tractor stands idle waiting for unloading, and after removing the last product, it leaves the construction site and moves to the warehouse. The number of trailers with this scheme is equal to the number of tractors.

In cases where the idle time of a tractor at a site awaiting unloading exceeds 20% of its operating cycle time, a semi-shuttle scheme is used.

With a semi-shuttle scheme, the number of tractors is 1 less than trailers, because Having delivered the product to the site, the trailer is unhooked from the tractor in the installation area of ​​the crane. While the crane is unloading and assembling products, another, already vacated trailer is attached to the tractor, with which the tractor moves to the warehouse for the next loading of products. If even with this scheme, the downtime of the tractor reaches 20% or more of the process time, then a shuttle scheme is used.

With the shuttle scheme, the number of tractors is 2 less than the number of trailers. With this scheme, the organization of work is as follows: having brought the products to the site, the tractor uncouples from the loaded trailer, hooks up the vacated trailer and goes to the warehouse. There, the empty trailer is uncoupled and left for loading, and the loaded one is attached to the tractor and moved to the object. those. The trailer-coupler is carried out both on site and in the warehouse. In order to calculate how many products can be transported in a particular vehicle, you need to know the weight of the product being transported, the carrying capacity of the vehicle and meet the conditions so that the load factor is in the range of 0.8-1

P – mass of transported products

Q – machine load capacity

Lecture 16. Installation of prefabricated reinforced concrete and concrete structures. Continuation of the topic.

11.Methods of installation of structures of buildings and structures according to the degree of enlargement of structures, according to the sequence of installation of elements

The variety of design solutions for buildings and structures requires the use of various methods and methods of their installation. The choice of construction method for a building depends on its design and technological features, the degree of enlargement of elements, structural material, mechanization and other factors.

Methods for installing structural elements are directly dependent on the degree of enlargement of installation elements, the sequence of installation of prefabricated elements, the method of installing structures in the design position, the means of alignment and temporary fastening of elements and other characteristics.

Installation methods according to the degree of enlargement of elements. Depending on the degree of enlargement of structures, installation is divided into small-element, element-by-element, large-block, complete block and installation of structures in finished form.

Small-element installation from individual structural elements is characterized by significant labor intensity, incomplete loading of the installation mechanisms due to the large difference in the masses of the various mounted elements, a large number of lifts, and sealing of numerous joints. There is often a need for a device scaffolding for fixing individual elements and enlarged assembly directly into the structure. The method is ineffective and is used extremely rarely.

Element-by-element installation from individual structural elements (columns, crossbars, floor panels, etc.) requires a minimum of costs for preparatory work. Widely used in the construction of civil and industrial buildings, their installation from on-site warehouses and from vehicles.

Large-block installation from geometrically unchangeable flat or spatial blocks, pre-assembled from individual elements. The mass of the blocks is adjusted, if possible, to the maximum load capacity of the mounting mechanisms. This reduces the number of installation lifts and eliminates the need to perform most installation operations at height. Examples of a flat block are the frame frame of a multi-story building, a covering shell block; spatial elements - cell-sized covering blocks of one-story industrial buildings, including trusses, connections, covering structures.

Complete block installation implies the full degree of factory readiness of large blocks of cell size, including already installed communications - sanitary, electrical, ventilation, located between the belts of the trusses. In civil engineering, the method involves the installation of block rooms and block apartments. The building under construction is divided into large-sized, but transportable, structurally complete, fully finished (painting, trim, floors) and assembly units equipped with equipment, which are delivered to the installation site and the buildings are assembled. The weight of such mounting blocks can reach 100 tons.

Installation of finished structures involves assembling the structure completely at ground level with the final connection and fastening of all components, followed by installation of the structure in the design position. The method is used when installing power line supports, radio towers, shells, factory pipes, etc.

Methods for aligning mounting elements to supports. Depending on the method of installing the structure in the design position, the following types of installation are distinguished.

Free installation, in which the mounted element is installed in the design position without any restrictions when it moves freely. The method requires constant monitoring of the position of the element in space during its installation, the need to perform alignment, fastening and other operations at height. The disadvantages of this method are the increased complexity and high labor intensity of the work.

Limited-free installation is characterized by the fact that the mounted structure is installed in guide stops, clamps and other devices that partially limit the freedom of movement of the structure, but lead to a reduction in labor costs for temporary fastening and alignment. The method increases the productivity of crane equipment by reducing the installation cycle time.

Forced installation of a structure is based on the use of conductors, manipulators, indicators and other means that provide complete or specified limitation of structure movements from the action of its own mass and external influences. The method provides increased installation accuracy and leads to a significant reduction in labor costs.

Installation methods according to the sequence of installation of elements. When assembling structures of buildings and structures, the following requirements must be observed:

    the assembly sequence must ensure stability and geometric immutability of the assembled parts of the building at all stages of installation;

    installation of structures on each section of the building should allow subsequent work to be carried out on the assembled section;

    safety of installation, general construction and special works at the site, taking into account their implementation according to a combined schedule.

Depending on the adopted sequence, the installation of structural elements is carried out using the following methods: differentiated (separate), complex and mixed (combined).

The differentiated or separate method is characterized by the installation of similar structural elements, including their temporary and final fastening. For one-story industrial buildings, first all the columns are installed, then all the crane beams, and during the last run of the installation crane, the wall elements are hung. In multi-storey residential buildings, wall panels, partitions, sanitary cabins and other elements are sequentially installed. The work on the floor is completed by laying the floor panels.

The complex method involves sequential installation, temporary and final fastening of various structural elements that make up the frame of one building cell. The installation of elements of another cell begins after the design fastening of the structures of the previous cell. The advantage of this scheme is the opportunity to begin subsequent finishing works and installation technological equipment in cells completed with installation. The method is used for the installation of multi-story frame and frameless buildings, one-story industrial buildings with a metal frame.

A mixed or combined method is a combination of separate and complex methods. Mixed installation is most often used for single-story industrial buildings made of precast reinforced concrete. In the first assembly flow, all columns are installed, in the second flow, crane beams, roof trusses and covering panels are mounted in cells, in the third flow, wall panels are hung. The method is effective when it is possible to provide each editing stream with independent installation means. Installation with the required time offset can be achieved by all three installation mechanisms, which leads to a significant reduction in installation time.

Installation of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures

Installation of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures of buildings, as a rule, is carried out element by element.

Installation of rafter beams in a vertical plane is carried out by aligning their geometric axes on the supports relative to the vertical. Alignment of crane beams in height should be done at the highest level in the span or on the support using spacers made of steel sheets. If a pack of gaskets is used, they must be welded together, and the pack must be welded to the support plate.

Installation of floor slabs is carried out according to markings on the support beams, which determine their design position. The installation of the covering slabs is carried out using embedded parts in the flange of the rafter beams. Floor slabs are laid on a layer of mortar no more than 20 mm thick, covering slabs are laid dry.

Wall panels are installed using embedded parts on reinforced concrete columns or pre-marked marks on rafter columns. Alignment of panels should be carried out in the plane of the wall and in the vertical plane. After checking the correct installation of structures and acceptance of connections of elements at the interface nodes, the joints are grouted.

Acceptance of completed concrete and reinforced concrete structures is documented in an act in the prescribed form.

        1. Installation of enclosing structures

Walls of vertical and horizontal sections are mounted, as a rule, with their preliminary enlarged assembly into so-called “cards”. With an appropriate feasibility study, element-by-element installation is allowed. The enlarged assembly of wall panels into “cards” must be carried out on stands in the operating area of ​​the main installation crane.

Installation of “cards” and panels in plan and height is carried out by combining the installation marks marked on the mounted and supporting structures. The top of the panels is aligned relative to the alignment axes. Before installing the panels, sealing gaskets are placed in the vertical and horizontal joints. When accepting the walls, the reliability of the panels is checked, the absence of damage or instability. Thermal insulation of joints between panels is subject to intermediate control.

The joints of the covering of metal panels that do not have a waterproofing carpet should be sealed with metal covers, while the sides of the upper skin of the panels along the entire length should have a height of at least 60 mm.

        1. Concrete works

Dosing of components when preparing a concrete mixture should be done by weight. It is allowed to dose additives introduced into the concrete mixture in the form of aqueous solutions according to the volume of water. Fillers for concrete are used fractionated and washed. It is prohibited to use a natural mixture of sand and gravel without sifting into fractions.

Transportation and supply of concrete mixture is carried out by specialized means that ensure the preservation of the specified properties of the concrete mixture.

Before concreting, all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned of debris, dirt, oils, snow, ice, and cement film. The concrete mixture is laid in concrete structures in horizontal layers of equal thickness without breaks with a consistent direction of laying in one direction in all layers.

During the initial period of hardening, concrete must be protected from precipitation and moisture loss, and then the temperature and humidity conditions must be maintained to create conditions that ensure an increase in its strength.

Measures for the care of concrete, the order and timing of their implementation, control over their implementation and the timing of stripping of structures must be established by the PPR.

1.General installation instructions

Preliminary storage of structures in on-site warehouses is permitted only with appropriate justification. The on-site warehouse must be located within the range of the installation crane.

Installation of the structures of each overlying floor (tier) of a multi-story building should be carried out after the design fastening of all installation elements and the concrete (mortar) of the monolithic joints of load-bearing structures reaches the strength specified in the PPR.

In cases where the strength and stability of structures during the assembly process are ensured by welding assembly joints, it is allowed, with appropriate instructions in the project, to install structures of several floors (tiers) of buildings without embedding the joints. In this case, the project must provide the necessary instructions on the procedure for installing structures, welding joints and grouting joints.

In cases where permanent connections do not ensure the stability of structures during their assembly, it is necessary to use temporary installation connections. The design and number of connections, as well as the procedure for their installation and removal, must be indicated in the PPR.

The brands of solutions used when installing bed structures must be indicated in the project. The mobility of the solution should be 5-7 cm along the immersion depth of a standard cone, except for cases specifically specified in the project.

The use of a solution whose setting process has already begun, as well as restoration of its plasticity by adding water, is not allowed.

Maximum deviations from alignment of landmarks when installing prefabricated elements, as well as deviations of completed installation structures from the design position should not exceed the values ​​​​given in table. 12. SNiP 3.03.01-87 “Load-bearing and enclosing structures.”

During the installation process, measurement control must be carried out and a geodetic as-built diagram must be drawn up. The control results must be recorded in special journals.

2.Installation of foundation blocks and walls of the underground part of buildings

The installation of glass-type foundation blocks and their elements in plan should be carried out relative to the alignment axes in two mutually perpendicular directions, combining the axial risks of the foundations with landmarks fixed to the base, or monitoring the correct installation with geodetic instruments.

The installation of strip foundation blocks and basement walls should be done, starting with the installation of lighthouse blocks in the corners of the building and at the intersection of the axes. Lighthouse blocks are installed by combining their axial marks with the marks of the alignment axes, in two mutually perpendicular directions. The installation of ordinary blocks should begin after checking the position of the lighthouse blocks in plan and height.

Foundation blocks should be installed on a layer of sand leveled to the design level. The maximum deviation of the leveling layer of sand from the design level should not exceed minus 15 mm.

Installation of foundation blocks on foundations covered with water or snow is not allowed.

Foundation glasses and supporting surfaces must be protected from contamination.

The installation of basement wall blocks should be carried out in compliance with the dressing. Row blocks should be installed with the bottom oriented along the edge of the blocks of the bottom row, and the top along the alignment axis. External wall blocks installed below ground level must be aligned along the inner side of the wall, and above - along the outer side. Vertical and horizontal seams between blocks must be filled with mortar and embroidered on both sides.

Types and methods of installation of steel and reinforced concrete structures

The main purpose of reinforced concrete structures is to serve as the supporting frame of a building. The longevity and reliability of the structure depends on how correctly and efficiently they are installed.

The slightest errors in the assembly and installation of this element of the building are fraught with the most serious consequences. Therefore, such work should be carried out by professional and experienced specialists, armed with the necessary equipment. The types and methods of installation of steel and reinforced concrete structures are different, but the ultimate goal is the same - to give the structure maximum stability.

Classification of reinforced concrete structures

Installation of reinforced concrete structures

Installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures depends on the purpose and their design features. According to the criterion of purpose, structures are divided into:

  • Foundations;
  • Beams;
  • Farms;
  • Columns;
  • Plates.

The first serve as a support for the entire building, the rest - as floors and load-bearing structures, to support frame elements and transfer force from one structure to another.

Based on manufacturing features, structures are divided into:

  • Monolithic;
  • Prefabricated;
  • Prefabricated monolithic.

Monolithic structures are the most durable and reliable. They are used in cases where a large load is expected on load-bearing element. Prefabricated structures are not as durable, are too dependent on weather conditions and can be used where special reliability is not required.

But they are easy to install and convenient for transportation. Prefabricated monolithic structures have fairly high strength and in this indicator are not much inferior to monolithic ones. Therefore, they are often used in the construction of bridges and in the floors of multi-story buildings.

Types of work during installation of structures

Installation of reinforced concrete structures is mainly a matter for professionals

Installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures is divided into the following types of work:

  • Foundation installation;
  • Installation of walls in the basement of the building;
  • Installation of structural elements of the building frame;
  • Installation ventilation elements and blocks;
  • Installation internal elements building.

Each of these types of work requires adherence to special technology and the use of those steel and reinforced concrete structures that correspond to the assigned tasks.

Initial stage of construction

Before installation, preparatory work should be carried out. Since these structures have considerable weight, it is necessary to consider access to the construction site for vehicles and special equipment (for example, cranes).

Next, geodetic work is carried out to tie the axes of the structure to the terrain. It is also determined which structures and in what quantities should be used. Surveying the area and preliminary calculations allow you to avoid cost overruns and loss of time for reworking incorrectly installed structures.

After transportation to the assembly site, the structures are laid out in the required order. This is a very important and responsible part of the work, because a truss, beam or slab is not a match, and it is very difficult to pull it out from under other structures. The basic rule of layout: if structures are stacked on top of each other, the elements that are installed first should be on top, the bottom row or especially heavy structures should be laid on wooden substrates, free access of equipment to each structure should be provided and the possibility of grasping the part with a crane boom, as well as convenience rafters.

Installation of foundations

The laying and installation of reinforced concrete structures in the pit is carried out according to a pre-drawn diagram, in which the location and order of assembly of all components is precisely marked. Lighthouse blocks are initially laid in the pit. This is the name given to reinforced concrete structures that are located at the corners of the foundation and at the intersections of the axes of the structure.

Monolithic strip foundation

Then cushion blocks are laid, between which technological gaps are left (for example, for passing cables or pipelines). Strip foundation blocks should be located on a sand bed.

Next, the foundation walls and basement floors are installed. The floor panels are welded to the embedded parts in the cushion blocks, and the joints between the panels are filled with cement mortar. Installation of reinforced concrete foundation structures requires constant alignment of the walls with a level, both vertically and horizontally.

Upon completion of installation, an installation horizon is installed - a cement layer along the top of the walls to reach the design mark and level the top edge. After this, the basement is built, and the basement is covered with slabs that form its ceiling and at the same time the floor of the lower floor.

Prefabricated reinforced concrete foundations installed in a slightly different order. First, a slab is laid on the bottom of the pit, onto which the glass block is welded. It is placed on a kind of “bed” consisting of a cement solution. Block foundations are installed by crane, and placing them in correct position carried out by weight.

Installation of columns

Before installation, marks indicating the axes are applied to the four sides of the columns, top and bottom. The columns are laid out in front of the installation site in such a way that the crane makes a minimum of movements, and it is convenient for workers to inspect and secure the structures. The column is installed in a glass mounted on the foundation.

  • The column is attached to the crane hook in such a way that when lifted it stands vertically;
  • The crane places the column in a vertical position. Depending on the weight of the column, use different ways lifting - rotary, sliding rotation. For stringing columns, friction or pin grips are used;
  • Lowering onto the foundation and aligning the position. The column must not be removed from the crane until its correct position has been clearly determined using a level and theodolite.

The column must stand strictly vertically without the slightest tilt. Temporary fastening of the column for its adjustment is carried out using wedge liners.

The next stage is securing the column in the foundation shell. It is produced by injection into the joints of the column concrete mortar(usually a pneumatic supercharger). Once the concrete has reached 50% of its design strength, the wedge liners can be removed. Further work associated with the load on the column, as well as the laying of beams is carried out only after the mixture has completely hardened.

Installation of beams and roof trusses

Reinforced concrete structures

Beams and roof trusses are installed either simultaneously with the roof slabs or separately. Installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures of the main part of the building is carried out depending on the design requirements.

Before installing the trusses, all support areas are aligned and cleaned and axle marks are marked. After this, the structures are delivered to the installation site, slinging and lifting are performed. When placed on a support, the truss or beam is temporarily secured by spacers made of metal pipes, which are attached before lifting begins.

After this, the truss is adjusted and checked for stability and correct installation according to the applied risks. The truss or beam must be positioned so as not to violate the geometry of the building and not to shift relative to the axes of the frame.

Only after a complete check is the element finally secured. The embedded parts are welded to the base plate or column head, as well as to previously installed trusses. You should also weld the washers anchor bolts. Only after the beams and trusses are completely installed can they be unfastened.

After the frame is erected, a horizontal stiffening belt is installed, which is a monolithic reinforced concrete beam running along the upper ends of the load-bearing walls. Its task is to ensure the horizontal rigidity of the structure.

Installation of slabs

Like any installation of reinforced concrete structures, installation of slabs requires preliminary preparation. Scaffolding or fencing must be installed on span trusses. There are two main ways of installing slabs - longitudinal and transverse. In the first case, the crane moves along the span, in the second - across the span. Coating slabs are stacked between columns to be delivered to the coating site.

Building a house

The first slab is laid in a place previously marked on the farm, the rest are placed close to it. If the building is framed, the floor slabs are laid after installing the crossbars, purlins and spacer slabs, and if it is frameless, after the walls are built. When laying the slab on the surface, a “bed” is made from the mortar. Excess solution is squeezed out by the plate itself. The first plate must be welded to the truss in four nodes, the subsequent ones in three. Inter-joint seams are sealed with a solution of cement and sand.

Installation of wall panels

Wall panels are installed after the building frame has been erected and the floors have been laid. Before lifting, the panels are grouped into cassettes. With this storage method, the installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures intended for the construction of walls is the most rational. Cassettes can be located between the wall and the tap, behind the tap, as well as in front of it.

The panels are installed by installers only from the inside of the building. Wall panels are placed along the entire height of the building with a section between two columns. Therefore, one cassette must contain such a number of panels to cover the entire area along its entire height.

The panel is accepted by installers at the junction of this structure with the column. To do this, it is necessary to provide workers with access to these points in advance. If there is no transverse overlap, you will have to install cradles, scaffolds or a lift.

The installation of the first row of panels is of particular importance, so their position and compliance with the applied risks is checked especially carefully. External panels perform not only support and protective, but also aesthetic functions. Therefore, the seams between the panels must be sealed not only carefully, but very carefully and not exceed the established standards.

Internal wall panels are installed before the installation of the upper floor slabs. The panels are fastened to the columns with clamps, and to the floor slabs with struts. The final fastening of the wall panels is carried out by welding them to the elements of the building frame.

Features of metal structures

A distinctive feature of metal building structures is their tendency to deform, significant weight and special precision in manufacturing. Therefore, transportation, laying, lifting and installation require special care and attention.

In general, the installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures is not fundamentally different, but hardware They are often prefabricated, which allows them to be assembled not only on the ground, but also directly at the installation site.

Methods of installation of reinforced concrete structures of frame buildings

Methods and technology for installing elements of frame buildings depend on their design solutions, number of storeys and available installation equipment.

It is recommended to install frames of multi-story buildings with two-story columns using group or hinged conductors. This ensures forced fixation of the columns in the design position during their installation, thereby reducing the amount of alignment work. The remaining frame elements are mounted using the free method.

It is recommended to install the frames of one-story and low-rise industrial and administrative buildings using the limited-free method using single or group conductors.

The most important rule that must be followed in any organization and installation method is to ensure the stability of the mounted structures. In this regard, any installed structure cannot be released from the crane hook until it is securely fastened. The sequence of installation of frame elements must be such that the rigidity and geometric immutability of the mounted part are ensured.

Taking into account this requirement, when constructing the frame of one-story industrial and other buildings, it is recommended to follow the following order: the first to be installed at each site (capture) are the structures between which the connections are located (vertical, horizontal, etc.). Each next structural element is connected to the previously installed one with connecting elements provided for by the project: crossbars, braces or temporary struts and braces.

Prefabricated elements of multi-storey buildings in each section (section) are mounted in the following sequence. First, the columns and crossbars of the frame are installed in the stiffening cell or starting from the end of the building (section) along its entire width and on all floors of the tier. After aligning the position of the columns and crossbars and securing them, connections or tie panels and spacer floor slabs are installed between the columns. Then the internal panels are installed staircase, landings and flights, external wall panels of the staircase, ventilation blocks, sanitary cabins, wall panels of external walls and partitions. After assembling the elements of one section and securing them by welding, the crane is moved to the next section, and the welding work is completed on the assembled section, the joints are sealed, and the floor slabs are installed. Installation work is carried out in the same sequence in all subsequent sections of the tier.

The installation of the second tier begins only after alignment of the installed structures, welding of all installation joints of the first tier and monitoring with geodetic instruments of the correct installation of the structures and the layout of the axes and marks for the subsequent installation of the structures.

Before starting the installation of structures on each tier, which may include two or three floors (depending on the cutting of the columns along the height of the building), the main alignment axes of the building are marked on the floor or column heads, the installation horizon is determined, and axial and other installation risks are marked. The axle marks are measured each time from the main alignment axes and checked mutual arrangement adjacent axes.

The most common multi-storey residential, public and industrial frame buildings are with frame cells of 6 x 6 and 9 x 9 m; other spans are also possible, for example 12 m and intermediate ones. Floor height 3; 3.3; 3.6; 7.2 m. The width of buildings is most often 12; 18; 24 and 36 m. B upper floors There can be halls up to 10.8 m high, spanning the entire width of the building or part of it, including with or without overhead cranes. The length of the building is a multiple of the cell parameter.

For load-bearing frames, columns are used for one, two, three floors. Depending on the space-planning decisions, buildings are built with transverse or longitudinal arrangement of crossbars, along which floor slabs are laid, respectively, in the longitudinal or transverse direction.

Assembling a building frame is an interconnected process of installing columns, crossbars, stiffening diaphragms, tie-down and interfloor floor slabs. The elements are installed in a sequence that ensures the rigidity and spatial immutability of the frame. The installation sequence in each specific case is determined by the work plan and the set of installation equipment that will be used for installation and alignment of structures: individual (single) or group devices.

Installation using individual mounting equipment.

In construction, individual installation equipment is most often used, with the help of which structures are aligned and temporarily secured. The sets of individual installation equipment for the installation of multi-story frames include (see diagram below, pos. a... c): wedges and liners, support beams, anchor devices, clamps, struts and horizontal struts, conductors. Unlike group ones, individual products are more versatile and easy to use (Fig. 1).

Rice. 1 - Schemes for installing multi-storey columns using a set of individual installation equipment: a - arrangement of columns and devices, b - securing the column with struts, c - clamp for securing the struts to the column; 1 - foundation glass, 2 - inventory beam, 3 - column, 4 - clamp, 5 - strut, 6 - strut tow bar, 7 - wedges, 8 - anchor device, 9 - crimp rope

Wedges and wedge liners are used for alignment and fastening of columns in foundation glasses.

The support beams consist of two channels connected by strips and have loops in the upper part for attaching struts, and in the lower part - end stops for fastening to the foundation glasses (see diagram above, pos. a, b).

Anchor devices 8 are a U-shaped frame with holes in the upper part through which a gripping hook passes, moved by a tension nut.

The clamp (see diagram above, item c) for attaching the strut to the column is made in the form of an angular stop, which is secured to the column using a rope with a tension device.

The struts 5 consist of telescopically connected pipes with tensioning towbars 6 and gripping devices at the ends for fastening to the loops or eyes of the clamp and loops of support beams or other structures.

Conductors are designed for temporary fastening and alignment of columns that are joined in height to the heads of previously installed columns.

The columns of the first assembly tier are installed using the same methods as when installing one-story buildings. However, in this case, struts and spacers are installed to hold the columns in such a way that they do not interfere with the laying of crossbars and tie plates between the columns. Before the installation of the columns begins, support beams 2 are laid on the grip (see diagram above) and secured to the foundation loops using anchor devices. Support beams are not laid in those places where frame stiffening diaphragms are installed.

A clamp 4 is put on the assembled column in the warehouse and two struts 5 are hung on it, after which the column is slung and lifted by a crane. The column submitted for installation is installed in the foundation shell and temporarily secured using wedge liners (wedges) 7 and two struts 5. After this, the column is slinged and aligned. The column is installed in a vertical position using theodolites along two axes. As installation proceeds, the columns are embedded in the foundation cups. The struts are removed from the columns after the frame has been secured with crossbars and slabs at a level of two lower floors.

The crossbars are mounted after the columns (see diagram below, pos. a... c). Before installation, the crossbars are cleaned, the reinforcement outlets are straightened, the embedded parts are straightened, and the crossbars are supported dry on the column consoles. On each structural cell of the building, first the lower and then the upper crossbars are installed. The installers' workplace is on the inventory sites.

The work is performed in the following sequence. A 3rd category installer rigs the crossbar and gives the command to the crane operator to lift. The driver moves the crossbar with a crane to the installation site. A 5th category installer supervises the operation of the crane. Installers of the 4th and 3rd categories, being on the adjustable scaffolding platforms, take the crossbar, lay it on the shelves and check it.

In the transverse direction, the crossbars are installed in the design position, aligning their axes (upper reinforcement outlets) with the axes (reinforcement outlets) of the columns; in the longitudinal direction, maintaining equal support areas for the ends of the crossbar on the column console (the difference in the support areas for the ends of the crossbar on the console should not exceed ± 5 mm).

After aligning the crossbars, their supporting embedded parts are tack welded to the embedded parts of the column consoles and the crossbar is slinged (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2 - Installation of the crossbar: a - applying an axial mark to the column, b - installation of the crossbar, c - straightening the crossbar during alignment

Having made sure that the columns and crossbars in the assembled cell are in the design position, the installers finally secure the crossbars by bath welding the fittings, welding embedded parts, and grouting the joints (after completion according to the welding report). Then the frame stiffening diaphragms are mounted (see diagram below, pos. a, b) with a shelf replacing the crossbar (Fig. 3).

Rice. 3 - Installation of internal walls - stiffening diaphragms - in a frame building: a - installation, b - temporary fastening; 1 - strut, 2 - diaphragm with a shelf replacing the crossbar, 3 - universal sling, 4 - adjustable clamp with stand

For temporary fastening and alignment of diaphragms, adjustable clamps 4 are used. Frame stiffening panels without a shelf replacing the crossbar are mounted before installing the crossbar in this span. In this case, instead of temporary fastenings of the frame at the installation site of the diaphragm, equivalent fastenings are installed on the other side of the column, for example, horizontal bracing braces. The organization of the workplace and the sequence of operations are shown in the diagram below, pos. a, b.

3. INSTALLATION OF STRUCTURES General instructions

3.1. The enlarged assembly of reinforced concrete structures should be carried out on stands that allow the position of the elements to be recorded and their careful alignment and straightening to be carried out during the assembly process. You should first check the dimensions of the structural elements being enlarged, the presence and correct location of embedded parts.

3.2. By the beginning of installation, the strength of the mortar (concrete) at the joints of enlarged structures must be no lower than the release strength of the mortar (concrete) in these structures, unless otherwise specified in the project.

3.3. Maximum deviations of the actual dimensions of enlarged structures from the design ones should not exceed the values ​​​​established by the relevant state standards or technical specifications for these structures.

3.4. The assembly of structures that have reinforcement outlets at the joints must be carried out by checking the correct installation of the elements and the alignment of the reinforcement outlets; in this case, measures must be taken to ensure that the outlets are not bent.

If necessary, adjustments to reinforcement outlets should be made without violating the design position of the rods and preventing damage to the concrete. Joining bent rods and linings, unless specifically specified by the project, is prohibited.

3.5. Installation of structures is permitted only after acceptance of foundations and other supporting elements, including geodetic verification of compliance of their planned and altitude position with the design one, with the drawing up of an as-built diagram.

3.6. When installing structures, constant geodetic assurance must be carried out to ensure the accuracy of their installation with determination of the actual position of the mounted elements. The results of geodetic control after the final fastening of the structures of individual sections and tiers must be documented in an as-built diagram.

3.7. Until the completion of the alignment and complete fastening of the structures in the design position, it is not allowed to support the overlying structures on them, if such support is not provided for in the work design.

In cases justified by the work design, it is allowed to install overlying structures with temporary or incomplete fastening of the underlying ones, while temporary or incomplete fastening of structures must be justified by calculation of their weight, wind, snow and installation loads.

3.8. During installation, the strength and stability of structures must be ensured under the influence of their own weight, installation loads, snow and wind, which is achieved by observing the installation sequence provided for by the PPR, observing the design dimensions of the support platforms and mates, as well as timely installation of permanent or temporary connections and fastenings provided for by the project .

The main purpose of reinforced concrete structures is to serve as the supporting frame of a building. The longevity and reliability of the structure depends on how correctly and efficiently they are installed.

The slightest errors in the assembly and installation of this element of the building are fraught with the most serious consequences. Therefore, such work should be carried out by professional and experienced specialists, armed with the necessary equipment. The types and methods of installation of steel and reinforced concrete structures are different, but the ultimate goal is the same - to give the structure maximum stability.

Classification of reinforced concrete structures

Installation of reinforced concrete structures

Installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures depends on the purpose and their design features. According to the criterion of purpose, structures are divided into:

  • Foundations;
  • Beams;
  • Farms;
  • Columns;
  • Plates.

The first serve as a support for the entire building, the rest - as floors and load-bearing structures, to support frame elements and transfer force from one structure to another.

Based on manufacturing features, structures are divided into:

  • Monolithic;
  • Prefabricated;
  • Prefabricated monolithic.

Monolithic structures are the most durable and reliable. They are used in cases where a large load is expected on the load-bearing element. Prefabricated structures are not as durable, are too dependent on weather conditions and can be used where special reliability is not required.

But they are easy to install and convenient for transportation. Prefabricated monolithic structures have fairly high strength and in this indicator are not much inferior to monolithic ones. Therefore, they are often used in the construction of bridges and in the floors of multi-story buildings.

Types of work during installation of structures

Installation of reinforced concrete structures is mainly a matter for professionals

Installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures is divided into the following types of work:

  • Foundation installation;
  • Installation of walls in the basement of the building;
  • Installation of structural elements of the building frame;
  • Installation of ventilation elements and blocks;
  • Installation of internal building elements.

Each of these types of work requires adherence to special technology and the use of those steel and reinforced concrete structures that correspond to the assigned tasks.

Initial stage of construction

Before installation, preparatory work should be carried out. Since these structures have considerable weight, it is necessary to consider access to the construction site for vehicles and special equipment (for example, cranes).

Next, geodetic work is carried out to tie the axes of the structure to the terrain. It is also determined which structures and in what quantities should be used. Surveying the area and preliminary calculations allow you to avoid cost overruns and loss of time for reworking incorrectly installed structures.

After transportation to the assembly site, the structures are laid out in the required order. This is a very important and responsible part of the work, because a truss, beam or slab is not a match, and it is very difficult to pull it out from under other structures. The basic rule of layout: if structures are stacked on top of each other, the elements that are installed first should be on top, the bottom row or especially heavy structures should be laid on wooden substrates, free access of equipment to each structure should be provided and the possibility of grasping the part with a crane boom, as well as convenience rafters.

Installation of foundations

The laying and installation of reinforced concrete structures in the pit is carried out according to a pre-drawn diagram, in which the location and order of assembly of all components is precisely marked. Lighthouse blocks are initially laid in the pit. This is the name given to reinforced concrete structures that are located at the corners of the foundation and at the intersections of the axes of the structure.

Monolithic strip foundation

Then cushion blocks are laid, between which technological gaps are left (for example, for passing cables or pipelines). Strip foundation blocks should be located on a sand bed.

Next, the foundation walls and basement floors are installed. The floor panels are welded to the embedded parts in the cushion blocks, and the joints between the panels are filled with cement mortar. Installation of reinforced concrete foundation structures requires constant alignment of the walls with a level, both vertically and horizontally.

Upon completion of installation, an installation horizon is installed - a cement layer along the top of the walls to reach the design mark and level the top edge. After this, the basement is built, and the basement is covered with slabs that form its ceiling and at the same time the floor of the lower floor.

Precast concrete foundations are installed in a slightly different order. First, a slab is laid on the bottom of the pit, onto which the glass block is welded. It is placed on a kind of “bed” consisting of a cement solution. Block foundations are installed by crane, and they are placed in the correct position by weight.

Installation of columns

Before installation, marks indicating the axes are applied to the four sides of the columns, top and bottom. The columns are laid out in front of the installation site in such a way that the crane makes a minimum of movements, and it is convenient for workers to inspect and secure the structures. The column is installed in a glass mounted on the foundation.

  • The column is attached to the crane hook in such a way that when lifted it stands vertically;
  • The crane places the column in a vertical position. Depending on the weight of the column, different lifting methods are used - rotary, sliding rotation. For stringing columns, friction or pin grips are used;
  • Lowering onto the foundation and aligning the position. The column must not be removed from the crane until its correct position has been clearly determined using a level and theodolite.

The column must stand strictly vertically without the slightest tilt. Temporary fastening of the column for its adjustment is carried out using wedge liners.

The next stage is securing the column in the foundation glass. It is produced by injecting concrete mortar into the joints of the column (usually with a pneumatic blower). Once the concrete has reached 50% of its design strength, the wedge liners can be removed. Further work related to the load on the column, as well as the laying of beams, is carried out only after the mixture has completely hardened.

Installation of beams and roof trusses

Reinforced concrete structures

Beams and roof trusses are installed either simultaneously with the roof slabs or separately. Installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures of the main part of the building is carried out depending on the design requirements.

Before installing the trusses, all support areas are aligned and cleaned and axle marks are marked. After this, the structures are delivered to the installation site, slinging and lifting are performed. When placed on a support, the truss or beam is temporarily secured by spacers made of metal pipes, which are attached before lifting begins.

After this, the truss is adjusted and checked for stability and correct installation according to the applied risks. The truss or beam must be positioned so as not to violate the geometry of the building and not to shift relative to the axes of the frame.

Only after a complete check is the element finally secured. The embedded parts are welded to the base plate or column head, as well as to previously installed trusses. The washers of the anchor bolts should also be welded. Only after the beams and trusses are completely installed can they be unfastened.

After the frame is erected, a horizontal stiffening belt is installed, which is a monolithic reinforced concrete beam running along the upper ends of the load-bearing walls. Its task is to ensure the horizontal rigidity of the structure.

Installation of slabs

Like any installation of reinforced concrete structures, installation of slabs requires preliminary preparation. Scaffolding or fencing must be installed on span trusses. There are two main ways of installing slabs - longitudinal and transverse. In the first case, the crane moves along the span, in the second - across the span. Coating slabs are stacked between columns to be delivered to the coating site.

Building a house

The first slab is laid in a place previously marked on the farm, the rest are placed close to it. If the building is framed, the floor slabs are laid after installing the crossbars, purlins and spacer slabs, and if it is frameless, after the walls are built. When laying the slab on the surface, a “bed” is made from the mortar. Excess solution is squeezed out by the plate itself. The first plate must be welded to the truss in four nodes, the subsequent ones in three. Inter-joint seams are sealed with a solution of cement and sand.

Installation of wall panels

Wall panels are installed after the building frame has been erected and the floors have been laid. Before lifting, the panels are grouped into cassettes. With this storage method, the installation of metal and reinforced concrete structures intended for the construction of walls is the most rational. Cassettes can be located between the wall and the tap, behind the tap, as well as in front of it.

The panels are installed by installers only from the inside of the building. Wall panels are placed along the entire height of the building with a section between two columns. Therefore, one cassette must contain such a number of panels to cover the entire area along its entire height.

The panel is accepted by installers at the junction of this structure with the column. To do this, it is necessary to provide workers with access to these points in advance. If there is no transverse overlap, you will have to install cradles, scaffolds or a lift.

The installation of the first row of panels is of particular importance, so their position and compliance with the applied risks is checked especially carefully. External panels perform not only support and protective, but also aesthetic functions. Therefore, the seams between the panels must be sealed not only carefully, but very carefully and not exceed the established standards.

Internal wall panels are installed before the installation of the upper floor slabs. The panels are fastened to the columns with clamps, and to the floor slabs with struts. The final fastening of the wall panels is carried out by welding them to the elements of the building frame.

When installing buildings, structures and technological equipment, cranes are used to deliver elements to their installation site. When installing building structures they use stationary assembly machines that allow work to be carried out in a strictly defined space: assembly booms, assembly masts, chevres (a type of mast), portal hydraulic and cable lifts, screw mast-jib cranes, rigid-legged mast-jib cranes, attached tower cranes. Mobile installation machines are capable of moving from parking lot to parking lot under their own power: crawler, wheeled and tower cranes.

Load-handling devices are shown in Fig. 9.1 and 9.2.

Depending on the height of the structure, there are various methods of installation of structures: by building up, growing, turning with sliding, turning, sliding, etc. The sequence of installing elements in the design position determines the following installation methods: element-by-element, differentiated, complex and mixed. Installation of structures can be carried out from an object warehouse or directly from vehicles (“installation from wheels”). For the installation of pipelines from individual pipes or their short sections, self-propelled jib cranes are used on caterpillar, automobile and pneumatic wheels. For the installation of pipes from long sections and strings, the main machines are pipe-laying cranes with a side boom and a folding counterweight.

Selection of assembly cranes. The selection of a tap is usually carried out in two stages. At the first stage, the minimum possible operating parameters of the crane required for the given conditions and accepted installation work schemes are determined - hook reach, lifting height (depth of lowering into the trench) of the hook and lifting capacity. At the second stage, technical and economic indicators are calculated for each of the selected cranes and the most economical one is determined from them.

Calculation of operating parameters for selecting a crane. First, the minimum hook reach is determined - the smallest distance from the axis of rotation of the crane's turntable (for pipe-laying cranes - from the outer caterpillar) to the axis of the pipeline in the trench. The required reach of the hook T to the installation crane, depending on the adopted pipeline installation scheme (Fig. 9.3), can be determined using the following formulas and dependencies.

When laying pipelines from single pipes in trapezoidal trenches according to the scheme shown in Fig. 9.3, A, b k = 0,5(b + B cr) + 1.2 tk, Where b- width of the trench along the bottom, m; B cr - crane base width, m; 1.2 TI - the distance from the base of the excavation slope to the tracks (wheels or outriggers) of the crane (the free berm must be at least 1 m); T- laying slopes; /? - trench depth, m.

Load-handling devices used in the construction of pipelines: a - slinging of pipes with a universal sling with a device for slinging; b - semi-automatic lanyard “noose”; V - slinging the pipe with this sling; g, d- two- and four-leg slings with end grips for pipes; e - slinging a steel pipe with a two-legged sling; and - articulated end grip for asbestos-cement pipes; h- mounting bracket for reinforced concrete pipes; And - the same for ceramic ones; 1 - cable; 2- latch-lock; 3- cheeks; 4- base plate;

  • 14 - mounting bracket

When installing pipelines from single pipes in rectangular trenches with fasteners (Fig. 9.3, b), the hook extension is determined in a similar way.

For the installation of pipelines from large assembly blanks (up to 18-24 m in length), the hook extension is taken as minimal as possible, but so that the operating conditions of the crane are most favorable (Fig. 9.3, c), b k = 0,5b + 1,2 tk + s1 n + 1 + 0.5B cr, where With! And - the outer diameter of the pipes being laid, and for socket pipes - the diameter of the socket, m.

In deep trenches, as well as in soft soils, pipes are laid with a large hook reach. Moreover, if the distance from the axis of rotation of the crane to the center of gravity of the pipe section is less than the hook reach required by calculation (b 2 then the installation diagram is left the same (Fig. 9.3, V), and if Ts >b K, then the crane is moved away from the section to the side at a distance of at least 1 m and moved forward by an amount b 2 -b k, further carrying out installation at the estimated hook reach (determined by the above formula). During the installation process, in this case, guy ropes are applied to the ends of the pipe section to prevent it from turning during lifting. When such a displacement is impossible due to local or other conditions, the installation is carried out and the crane is selected with a hook extension equal to b 2 b K = b 2 = 0.5 4r. s + 1.5 + / gab, where / trs is the length of the pipe section; 1.5 m - the clear distance between the end of the section and the overall dimensions of the crane (according to safety conditions); 4.6 - the distance between the axis of rotation of the crane platform and the front edge of its chassis.

When installing pipes from vehicles (Fig. 9.3, G) The hook extension is determined using a formula similar to the one given above and checked according to the condition: b^=/)+ 1 + B a, where D. r is the distance between the axes of movement of the crane and vehicles; /) - radius of rotation of the tail part of the crane platform; B a - width of the vehicle base.

This simultaneously determines the installation location of the vehicles in relation to the crane. Distance between the axis of rotation of the crane and the center of gravity of the delivered pipe (section) (b rp):

Laying of insulated braided steel pipelines in the field is usually carried out using pipe-laying cranes. Based on the condition of preventing the collapse of the trench wall, the distance from the edge to the pipe-laying crane must be at least 2 m. The required hook reach of the pipe-laying crane b K -0.5b + tI + 2 m.

If the laying of isolated strands is carried out using jib cranes on caterpillar or pneumatic wheels, then they are placed on the other side of the strand (counting from the trench), and the required reach is then b k = 0,5b + mI + 4„1 + With! and +/ br2 + 0.5B cr, where / br1, / br2 are, respectively, the distance from the edge of the trench to the pipe string and from it to the tap. Usually they take /brb = 1 m, and /br2 = 0.5-1 m.

Crane capacity calculated based on the maximum load that the crane must lift with the required hook reach b k.

It is determined by the mass of the installed pipes or their sections and strands, taking into account the mass of load-handling devices. Using reference books, the appropriate types and brands of cranes are selected. When two cranes are operating, calculations are carried out on one of them. The main technical and economic indicators are: duration and complexity of installation; cost of installation work per unit of structure.

Rice. 9.3. Scheme for determining the hook extension when laying pipes: a - laying single pipes in trapezoidal trenches; b - the same in trenches with fastenings; V - the same for links longer than 12 m;

d- when installing “from wheels”

The selection of lifting devices (slings, grips, brackets, traverses, suspensions, etc.) for lifting, moving and laying pipes is carried out based on the fact that they meet the following basic requirements: ensuring the necessary load capacity; strength; reliable fastening (slinging) of the pipe; inadmissibility of damage to both the pipe itself and its insulating coating; simplicity of design and use.
