ANCHOR CONNECTION OF COLUMN WITH FOUNDATION Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: anchor connection is intended for metal structures primarily used in industrial buildings. Anchor connection comprises one of column branches which is provided with cross-members being parallel to wall of column branch and also with additional cross-members which are perpendicular to cross-members and connected to them. Cross-members in combination with flanges of column branch form together two vertical pockets. Milled end-face of each of column branches rests on plate. Anchor member is of U-configuration with gradual rounding of its upper part. Prior to concreting of foundation, anchor link of chain is slipped over anchor member. Chain link is inserted into oval hole in column plate and then it is placed into vertical pocket. Introduced into hole made in flange of each of column branches is tensioning wedge. Wedge rests with its one end on end-face of additional cross-member, and with its other end it rests on flange of column branch. Nose of wedge is provided with stud which through nut and taper wash interacts with flange of column branch and tensions anchor connection unit. Aforesaid embodiment of anchor connection allows for less materials to be used together with reduced labour-intensity in erection of column. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 3 dwg
