Abstract
A fastener is disclosed having a an extension portion configured to be inserted into a first construction material such as foam, and having a stirrup portion configured to retain portion of a second construction material, such as rebar at a distance from the first construction material. A third construction material such as concrete can then be inserted (poured) in contact with the first construction material and surrounding the second construction material such that the second construction material is not directly in contact with the first construction material.
Description
- Foam concrete structures are utilized in various capacities ranging from concrete stairs, drive ways, ramps, floating docks, precast walls, abutments, retaining walls with lightweight fill load distribution slabs, roadways and applications for concrete foam systems such as Geofoam™ and other applications for concrete foam structures. In general, a foam concrete structure has a central region comprised of foam material which may be expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XEPS) with a perimeter portion of concrete therearound. Oftentimes, a tensile strength member such as rebar is positioned within the concrete. At present time, rebar, which is comprised of steel or other iron-based compositions, is a primary form of enhancing the strength of concrete to reinforce concrete structures. In general, concrete is very poor in tension, and having an insert therein, for example a metallic member such as a longitudinally extending piece of rebar, significantly enhances the strength of the concrete structure.
- Now in the case of having a concrete block with a foam center portion, when a bending moment is placed upon the structure, there is a compressive force at its greatest magnitude in one portion of the block structure, whereas the opposing portion has a tensile stress imposed thereon. The concrete is used to encapsulate or provide a protective shell, for example: floatation, geofoam, floor systems, ICF's, poured-in-place and pre-cast concrete systems. The foam portion functions as floatation, lightweight fill, or insulation. Of course, the center portion has a shear force acting as welt pursuant to basic beam theory. Therefore, having a properly spaced tensile member such as rebar positioned in the foam concrete structure is important for properly positioning the rebar in the concrete to absorb the tensile stress placed thereon.
- The prior art has failed to present a system, apparatus and method for properly positioning and orienting rebar at a proper depth within the outer concrete perimeter region. In some forms the rebar is positioned during a construction state in vertically and inverted orientated positions as well as a regular horizontal position. Therefore, in one form, having an apparatus to orientate the rebar in various orientations with respect to the flux field of gravity is desirable for constructing and forming a concrete/foam structure.
- Further, having a proper anchoring system to attach to the foam material allows for proper positioning of the rebar holding unit. In one form, having a properly sized and dimensioned base portion allows for a sufficient amount of stability, without requiring excessive force to penetrate the foam to be mounted during production. These steps may be carried out in a manufacturing facility, or on a job site.
- The structure in one form described in this disclosure is a holding member having an extension portion, a base portion, and a stirrup portion. The extension portion is configured to be inserted into a rigid construction material such as a block of foam. The extension portion in one form comprises a plurality of base members with barbs which extend radially outward from the longitudinal axis of the extension portion. These barb members are constructed to add rigidity to the structure, and assist in proper positioning within the rigid construction material. These barb members are especially helpful in preventing rotational and longitudinal movement of the holding member in relation to the foam. In one form, a plurality of barb members extend from the barb members to further maintain the position of the extension within the first construction material. The extension portion may be directly coupled to or formed with the stirrup portion, or an intermediate base portion may be provided between the two. This base portion can provide a stop which will limit the depth to which the extension member can be inserted into the foam. All three elements may also be formed as a unitary structure, say of a polymer or metal.
- In one form, after inserting the extension portion of the structure into the rigid construction material, a portion of an elongate construction material, such as a length of rebar, is coupled to the stirrup portion of the structure to hold the rebar a specified distance from the rigid construction material. After the rebar is positioned within the stirrup, another construction material such as concrete can be disposed in contact with the first construction material and substantially surrounding the second construction material. This will substantially encapsulate the construction materials and form a protective shell with the rebar adding support to the concrete (second material).
- In one form, the barb members previously discussed also have a plurality of barb-like extensions which are configured to keep the structure from pulling out of the rigid construction.

FIG. 1 shows a side view taken along a first transverse axis of the rebar holding member; -
FIG. 2 shows another side view taken along a first transverse axis; -
FIG. 3 is looking longitudinally rearward along the support portion of the rebar holding member; -
FIG. 4 is taken from a longitudinally forward vantage point looking at the extension portion of the rebar holding member; -
FIG. 5 is a progressive view of a method of manufacture of a foam concrete block structure; -
FIG. 6 shows a rebar positioned in a stirrup region of the rebar holding member which is embedded in the foam; -
FIG. 7 shows a completed foam concrete structure with concrete in the outer perimeter region having a foam center region. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , there is an environmental view of afoam concrete structure 20. In general, thefoam concrete structure 20 comprises afoam material 22 and aconcrete perimeter 24. Further comprising thefoam concrete structure 20 are tensile stress members such as rebars and rebar holdingmembers 28. Further, in one form of manufacture, anouter mold member 30 can be utilized to hold theconcrete 24 in its position while in an uncured state. Thisouter mold member 30 can either be a part of the veneer of the structure, or be removed from theconcrete perimeter 24 once the concrete cures or otherwise is sufficiently rigid to hold its stationary form. - Therefore, it can be appreciated that the
tensile stress member 26, which is most commonly rebar at the time of this writing, is positioned at a substantiallycenter region 32 within theconcrete perimeter 24. This positioning allows therebar 26 to engage the surrounding concrete so as to transfer force thereto, so when for example the particular concreteperimeter wall section 34 is in tension, these tensile stresses are transferred to therebar 26 properly, whereas the concrete aggregate itself is in general very poor at handling tension, and of course very strong in compressing as is well-known pursuant to conventional material science theory. - Therefore, as described in detail herein, the
rebar holding member 28 provides utility in properly positioning the rebar during the production and manufacture of thefoam concrete structure 20. Various attributes of one form of a rebar holding member will be described herein in detail with the understanding that other forms could be utilized without departing from the spirit and scope of the Applicant's broad concept. - In another embodiment, a section of tubing can be utilized instead of the
tensile stress member 26. This would not only add rigidity to the material but would also add a channel for applying fluids, gases, or serve as a conduit for electrical or communication service. For example, once the structure is completed, hot water could be provided through the tubing which would heat the structure adjacent the tubing. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a side profile view of therebar holding member 28. To aid in the general description, theaxes system 10 is provided whereaxis 12 indicates the longitudinal forward direction. Referring ahead now toFIG. 4 , there is shown a firsttransverse axis 14 and a secondtransverse axis 16. In general, theaxes longitudinal center axis 12″. In one form these axes are orthogonal to one another, but of course the general directions of the structures related to these axes need not be orthogonal. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , it can be appreciated that in general therebar holding member 28 has anextension portion 36 and asupport portion 38. Interposed between theextension portion 36 and thesupport portion 38 is abase portion 40 which in one form is a transverse extending planar member configured to be positioned adjacent to theouter surface 96 of thefoam center 22 described herein with reference toFIG. 5 . - In general, the
extension portion 36 is configured to be positioned in thefoam material 22 in a manner as shown inFIG. 5 . The foam material in one form may be expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XEPS). By way of background, one form of a foam concrete structure is a concrete dock where the interior portion is comprised of foam material. The perimeter portion can be between 1 and 3 inches of concrete or more. Rebar being placed in this perimeter region, as shown inFIG. 6 andFIG. 7 , greatly enhances the structural integrity of the foam concrete structure 20 (seeFIG. 7 ). - Therefore, it can be appreciated that the
extension portion 36 must provide a reasonably stable platform when inserted within the foam. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , there are first andsecond base portions FIG. 4 , but of course need not be orthogonal to one another. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , each of the first andsecond base portions FIG. 2 , the plurality ofbarb members 50 generally comprise, in one form, threebarb members longitudinal axis 12′ as shown at 50 a and 50 b, and in another form the barb members reduce in their radial width extension, such as where thebarb 50 c is shorter than thebarb 50 b. In general, the barbs provide a transverse extension where in particular the plurality ofbarbs 50 extend in the firsttransverse direction 14 as shown inFIG. 4 , and provide a locking-like action when extended within the foam material. - Now referring to
FIG. 1 , it can be appreciated that the plurality ofbarb members 52 are shown, and more specifically in one form there are three sets ofbarb members barb members 52 can have (as shown inFIG. 2 ) aperimeter flange 54 which basically extends slightly outward from thesurfaces second base member 48. Present analysis indicates that this perimeter flange extension provides extra gripping of the foam material when inserted therein. Further, it can be appreciated that the barb members have a leadingsurface 60, which is configured to engage the foam material when thrust therein. As shown inFIG. 1 , the trailingsurface 62 is provided which is configured to engage the foam material to maintain theextension portion 36 mounted firmly in the core foam structure 22 (seeFIG. 7 ). - With the foregoing description in place with regard to the
extension portion 36, there will now be a discussion of the support portion (otherwise referred to as a stirrup portion) 38 with initial reference toFIG. 1 . As shown inFIG. 1 , in one form thesupport portion 38 is comprised of abase region 70. Thebase region 70 in one form can be comprised ofbase extensions support 74 which comprises first andsecond arms interior surface 80, which is configured to hold a tension member, such as arebar 26 as shown inFIG. 5 . In general, the interior surface can have a longitudinallyoutward region 82 which encompasses thecylindrical rebar member 26 so as to lock it in place therein. Further provided in thesupport 74 are the radially inward extension/fins 84 as shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 3 within thestirrup 80. In general, the radially inward extension is configured to have awidth 86 which is such that the stresses placed thereon when a rebar member is placed in the radially inward extensions plastically deform and mesh to the rebar to further lock the rebar in place. This deformation is particularly advantageous because it prevents the rebar from repositioning or otherwise slipping along the longitudinal axis of the rebar, such as if the rebar is positioned in a more vertically oriented manner. Therefore, thewidth 86 would be somewhat less than thewidth 88 is shown inFIG. 3 , depending upon the material used. Using a plastic injected molded unitary piece to construct therebar holding member 28, a desirable plastic may have a durometer rating between 50 and 100 made from nylon, polyethylene, or other suitable material. - As further shown in
FIG. 5 , in one form the first andsecond legs inward slanting surface outer surface 27 of therebar member 26 into thecentral chamber region 94 of thesupport portion 38. Still referring toFIG. 5 , thebase portion 40 generally comprises abase surface 94 positioned in a longitudinally forward direction, which is configured to engage theouter surface 96 of thefull material 22. - To further describe one form of the
rebar holding member 28, the plurality ofbarbs FIGS. 1 and 2 are arranged such that, for example, thebarb 50 a is offset by approximately 90° and interposed between thebarbs extension portion 36 is embedded within thefoam 22 as shown in the lower portion ofFIG. 5 . Of course other forms of a barb can be employed and the above description is one form of carrying out the applicant's concept. - Analysis upon the overall dimensions of the
rebar holding member 20 will now be presented. As shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , these dimensions are in one form substantially to scale, and in one form 95% of an actual prototype. Of course the scope of the concept is not limited to the specified dimensions of the figures; however, for purposes of included subject matter, the figures are to scale of one embodiment (plus or minus 20%) as to the actual dimensions and the relative dimensions between portions of therebar holding member 28 itself. In other words, it has been found that having a length from the mostforward location 96 from thebase surface 94 of approximately 3 11/16″ provides a desirable combination of stability of therebar holding member 28 when fully embedded in the foam 22 (seeFIG. 6 ), and ease of force required to position and force theextension portion 36 in the foam. Further, having the first andsecond base portions FIG. 4 ) to fit within thefoam material 22, which as noted above, in one form is EPS. The stirrup can be higher, for example three-six inches (plus or minus say 20% in broader range), such as when utilizing a low distribution slab where the layer of concrete may be a thick layer so the rebar is positioned substantially in a central region thereof. In the broader scope, with a low distribution slab of say twelve inches, the stirrup region can extend vertically six inches or more. Even with the longer stirrup region, it has been found using the EPS foam that having the distance of approximately just under 4 inches (±30% in one form depending on the nature of the foam) provided a desirable combination of stability and ease of force depressing within CPS foam. - Therefore, as shown in
FIG. 5 , theforce vector 100 is applied to therebar holding member 28. Theforce 100 can be by way of an impact force such as a mallet-like member, or directly pushed by one who is constructing a foam concrete structure. When theextension portion 36 is fully inserted or at least substantially inserted within thefoam 22, in one form thebase surface 94 is pressed thereagainst and therebar 26 can be properly positioned within thecentral chamber region 94. As shown inFIG. 6 , a plurality ofrebar members rebar holding members 28. Thesupport portion 38 is generally arranged to position the rebar aprescribed distance 102 from theouter surface 96 of the foam 22 (EPS in one form), and further positioned aprescribed distance 104 from theinterior wall 108 of theouter mold member 30. -
FIG. 6 illustrates one method of manufacture where some form ofouter mold member 30 is utilized in a lower wail or a lateral wall as shown inFIG. 6 . Thisouter mold member 30 can be a part of the final structure or removed thereafter. Theinterior wall 108 positions the un-cured concrete and maintains the desired form of the concrete until the concrete cures. Theupper region 110 can additionally be poured and have concrete filled therein as shownFIG. 7 . Therefore, it can be appreciated that a foamconcrete structure 20 can be more readily constructed with a higher degree of confidence of the orientation in position of the rebar contained therein. The rebar may be specified to be positioned in a central region of the overall width of the concrete layer, such as the region indicated at 32 inFIG. 7 . - In general, the device can be utilized in various forms, such as concrete sandwich panels, which in one form are poured in place, or alternatively can be pre-cast. Further, the device can be utilized in other forms, such as insulated heated floors, or further, precast concrete joists, decking, floors, or roofs and various compositions thereof. For example, the device could be utilized similar to decking for insulated reinforced concrete floor such as Decklite™ from Benchmark Foam, Inc. and other similar products from other manufactures.
- While the present invention is illustrated by description of several embodiments and while the illustrative embodiments are described in detail, it is not the intention of the applicants to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications within the scope of the appended claims will readily appear to those sufficed in the art. The invention in its broader aspects is therefore not limited to the specific details, representative apparatus and methods, and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the spirit or scope of Applicants' general concept.
