Abstract
An object of the invention is to provide a structural foundation wherein a spiral pile for supporting the foundation can be fixed in such a stable manner as not to displace in the horizontal direction or not to subside in the vertical direction. The structural foundation can be easily installed on site with reduced costs for transportation and installment so as to support a structure or part of a structure. The structural foundation (3) has a foundation portion (2) to be fixed to the ground using a spiral pile (1), and is characterized in that the foundation portion (2) has a cylindrical steel tube (23) for guiding the spiral pile (1) and a portion (21) for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction, which is placed so as to surround the cylindrical steel tube (23), and the foundation portion (2) and the spiral pile (1) are provided with a fixing means (12, 22) for connecting the foundation portion (2) and the spiral pile (1) in a state where the spiral pile (1) is inserted into the cylindrical steel tube (21) and the spiral pile (1) is embedded in the ground.
Description
- The present invention relates to a structural foundation, and in particular, to a structural foundation having a foundation portion to be fixed to the ground using a spiral pile.
- When a post is erected on the ground according to the prior art, a method for fixing the foundation installed in the ground with a pile, erecting a post on the foundation and fixing the post with mortar has been adopted. In particular, the present applicant has put into practice many methods where a spiral pile that is formed by twisting a flat steel plate is adopted as a pile for fixing the foundation.
- For example,
Patent Document 1 shows a spiral pile that is to be directly driven into the ground in order to provide the foundation for a post.Patent Documents 2 to 4 show a method for creating a hole in a concrete block foundation or a poured concrete foundation installed in the ground, driving a spiral pile into the ground through the hole and fixing the concrete foundation. Such a spiral pile can be easily installed by pouring concrete on site and has the advantage that it is highly resistant to being pulled out due to the fact that the friction with the ground is great. - While the above described spiral pile has a great resistance in response to the force in the direction in which the spiral pile is pulled out, the mechanical strength is weak relative to the stress that is placed on the spiral pile in the horizontal direction or relative to the compressive force in the vertical direction, and therefore the form of the spiral pile changes in the horizontal direction or in the vertical direction, which is a problem because the foundation becomes unstable. In addition, it is troublesome to prepare a concrete foundation where a hole through which a spiral pile can be passed is created. Furthermore, due to its size and weight, transportation and installment of this type of foundation is very costly.

When the fixing means 12 and 22 are joined to each other so that thespiral pile 1 and thefoundation portion 2 are connected, the structure inFIG. 3 is gained. In the state where thespiral pile 1 is inserted into thecylindrical steel tube 23, thetubular portion 13 of the spiral pile and thecylindrical steel tube 23 work together so that thespiral pile 1 can be held in a stable manner. Whilebolts 31 are used in accordance with the method for joining the fixing means to each other in the present embodiment, flanges may be selected as the fixing means so that when appropriate a method that employs the welding of flanges together can be adopted. - When a structure or part of a structure is supported using the structural foundation according to the present invention, the structural foundation in
FIG. 3 is installed in the ground and the structure or the part of the structure is fixed to the foundation for the structure.FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating a case where a support pillar, which is an example of a structure, is supported. In the case where a flange is provided to the support pillar the flange of the support pillar is fixed to theflange 12 of the spiral pile as inFIG. 4A so as to fix the support pillar. As for the fixation method at that time, when appropriate a method for usingbolts 31 in the same manner as when the spiral pile is fixed to the foundation portion or a method of welding for fixation can be adopted. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 4A double nuts 41 are used in order to connect thestructural foundation 3 and thestructure 4. When double nuts are used, thestructure 4 can be installed while microscopically adjusting the height and the degree of levelness for installing thestructure 4. - In the case where the
spiral pile 1 of which part of thetubular portion 13 penetrates through the fixing means is used as inFIG. 4B , the support pillar can be supported by inserting the support pillar into thetubular portion 13 so that the support pillar is fixed in the tubular portion. - Next, the foundation portion according to the second embodiment of the present invention is described.

FIGS. 5A to 5E is formed such that apart 5 including theportion 21 for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction that is formed by joining sections of a steel channel together and apart 55 including thecylindrical tube 23 can be separated from each other. The steel channel used for theportion 21 for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction itself has a high level of mechanical strength, and accordingly the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction using the steel channel has a high level of mechanical strength so that external pressure in the horizontal direction received by the spiral pile from the ground can be reduced. - A fixing means 51 provided in the
portion 21 for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction in the present embodiment is connected to an upper portion of theportion 21 for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction through aconnection member 52, and holes 53 and 54 to be used for fixation to the fixing means of the spiral pile and to a structure or part of a structure are created in the same manner as in the first embodiment. In the lower portion of thepart 5 including the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction as shown inFIG. 5D , the fixing means 57 for fixture to thepart 55 including the cylindrical steel tube is connected to theportion 21 for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction throughconnection members 52. - As shown in
FIGS. 5A and 5D , the present embodiment adopts a configuration where the fixing means 54 and 57 are fixed to theportion 21 for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction through theconnection members 52. As shown inFIG. 5E , however, a configuration can be adopted where a flat steel plate in which holes are created in advance is fixed to theportion 21 for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction. - In addition, the structural foundation according to the second embodiment of the present invention is formed so that the
cylindrical steel tube 55 and theportion 5 for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction can be separated from each other. As shown inFIG. 5B , a fixing means 56 for fixation to the fixing means 57 of the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction is formed in thecylindrical steel tube 55, and thepart 55 including the cylindrical steel tube and thepart 5 including the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction are linked and fixed to each other by connecting the fixing means 57 and the fixing means 56, thus forming the structural foundation. - The cylindrical steel tube and the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction can be separated from each other as in the present embodiment so that the structure can be assembled on site and thus a structural foundation can be easily provided with reduced cost for preparation and transportation.
- While a steel channel is used for the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction in the present embodiment, a steel H beam, a steel I beam or a steel angle can also be adopted when appropriate. The form of the fixing means and the method for connecting the fixing means are of course not limited to those in the present embodiment.

The depth of the excavation is not particularly limited as long as thefoundation portion 2 can be fixed in the ground without fail, but it is preferable to excavate to such a depth that the top portions of all the members in the foundation portion are at the same level as the surface of the ground or at a level slightly lower than the surface of the ground. - After the
foundation portion 2 has been fixed in the ground, thespiral pile 1 is inserted into thecylindrical steel tube 23 and thespiral pile 1 is driven into the ground while being rotated until the fixing means 12 of the spiral pile and the fixing means 22 of thefoundation portion 2 make contact with each other. Thespiral pile 1 and thefoundation portion 2 are linked and fixed to each other by joining the fixing means 12 and the fixing means 22 to each other while adjusting the angle at which thespiral pile 1 is installed using the installation angle means provided in thespiral pile 1 or in thefoundation portion 2. - After the
spiral pile 1 and thefoundation portion 2 have been combined, thestructure 4 is placed on the upper portion of thestructural foundation 3 and then thestructure 4 and thestructural foundation 3 are fixed to each other. As for the fixing means at this time, various methods can be adopted as described above, but it is preferable to usedouble nuts 41 so that the height and the degree of levelness can be adjusted while thestructure 4 is being installed. - Finally, the space that has been created between the ground and the structural foundation as well as between the ground and the structure is filled in with a
filler 6 such as concrete, mortar or rubble. As a result, the structural foundation installed in the ground can be more firmly fixed to the ground. When this filler covers the portion through which the structure and the structural foundation are linked together, the structure can also be more firmly fixed. - Next, a construction method for the structural foundation where the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction and the cylindrical steel tube can be separated from each other as shown in
FIGS. 5A to 5E is described. First, as shown inFIG. 7A , thepart 55 including the cylindrical steel tube is firmly installed in the ground.

FIG. 7C , thepart 5 including the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction is linked and fixed to thepart 55 including the cylindrical steel tube, thus forming the structural foundation. As for the method for linking and fixing, various methods according to which fixing means are combined by inserting bolts or by welding can be adopted as described above. - Thus, the spiral pile is inserted through the cylindrical steel tube and driven into the ground while being rotated so that the
spiral pile 1 and the structural foundation are fixed to each other. The fixing method at this time is the same as that shown inFIGS. 6A to 6B , and the foundation portion and thespiral pile 1 are fixed to each other while adjusting the installation angle using elongated holes created in the foundation portion or thespiral pile 1. In addition, thespiral pile 1 may be fixed to either the part including the cylindrical steel tube or the part including the portion for receiving pressure in the horizontal direction, and the way for creating holes in the fixing means and the locations in which holes are created can be changed when appropriate. - Thus, the structure or the part of the structure is fixed to the structural foundation. As for the fixing method at this time, various methods can be adopted as described above, and it is preferable to fix the structure or the part of the structure to the structural foundation while adjusting the height and the degree of levelness of the structure using double nuts or the like.
- Finally, concrete is poured into the space between the structural foundation and the ground and is left to solidify. As a result, the structural foundation can be fixed to the ground without fail. It is more preferable to pour the concrete so as to cover the points at which the structure or the part of the structure becomes joined to the structural foundation. As a result, the structure or the part of the structure can be fixed more firmly.
- While the embodiments of the present invention are described above in reference to the given drawings, of course the design can be modified appropriately and different materials can be selected as long as the gist of the present invention is not deviated from.
- The present invention can provide a structural foundation wherein a spiral pile for supporting the foundation can be fixed in such a stable manner as not to displace in the horizontal direction or not to subside in the vertical direction. In addition, the structural foundation can be easily installed on site with reduced costs for transportation and installment.
