Abstract

Providing a half precast slab even in a case where the thickness of the slab in the site condition is too thick to apply conventional precast construction techniques. A half precast slab including a plurality of floor concrete form members and, each floor concrete form member being provided with: a bottom slab of a long length, in response to the floor concrete form member; a pair of side walls installed upright along each longitudinal edge of the bottom slab, in response to the floor concrete form member; thereby, each floor concrete form member is arranged so as to be parallel to each other and be tightly connected to the adjacent floor concrete form member, along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of each floor concrete form member; the height of the side walls other than the side walls on the most outer edge sides of the whole floor concrete form members is set at a common height that is smaller than the height of the side walls on the most outer edge sides.

Claims (35)

1. A half precast slab for being used in half precast method in which concrete is deposited on the half precast slab to form a composite slab, said half precast slab comprising:

a plurality of precast concrete members each of which includes

a bottom part extending in a longitudinal direction,

a pair of side walls provided upright on both edges of the bottom part, and the bottom part and the pair of side walls defining an upper space for receiving concrete surrounded by the bottom part and the pair of side walls,

wherein the precast concrete members are arranged in parallel with each other in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and connected to each other,

wherein the side walls of two adjacent precast concrete members are in contact with each other, and

wherein each of the side walls, other than two outermost side walls on both edges of the connected precast concrete members, has a height less than the two outermost side walls so that the upper spaces of the connected precast concrete members are in communication with each other to form a single reinforcing bar arrangement space over the connected precast concrete members.

2. The half precast slab according to claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one prestressing steel wire extending along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to penetrate the precast concrete members and configured to be applied with tension force; and

fixing members for fixing ends of the at least one prestressing steel wire,

wherein the precast concrete members are connected to each other by the at least one prestressing steel wire and the fixing members.

3. The half precast slab according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one prestressing wire is arranged to extend inside the bottom parts of the precast concrete members.

4. The half precast slab according to claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one bolt configured to penetrate through-holes formed in the side walls of the two adjacent precast concrete members; and

at least one nut configured to be threaded with the at least one bolt,

wherein the precast concrete members are connected to each other by the at least one bolt and the at least one nut.

5. A half precast slab comprising:

a first precast concrete member having

a bottom part extending in a longitudinal direction of the first precast concrete member, and

a pair of side walls extending upward from the bottom part, and the bottom part and the pair of side walls defining an upper space for receiving concrete surrounded by the bottom part and the pair of side walls,

a second precast concrete member connected to the first precast concrete member in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and having

a bottom part extending in the longitudinal direction, and

a pair of side walls extending upward from the bottom part of the second precast concrete member, and the bottom part and the pair of side walls defining an upper space for receiving concrete surrounded by the bottom part and the pair of side walls,

wherein one of the side walls of the first precast concrete member is in contact with one of the side walls of the second precast concrete member, and

wherein said one of the side walls of the first precast concrete member has a height less than another one of the side walls of the second precast concrete member so that the upper spaces of the connected first and second precast concrete members are in communication with each other to form a single reinforcing bar arrangement space over the connected first and second precast concrete members.

6. The half precast slab according to claim 5 , wherein said another one of the side walls of the second precast concrete member defines an outermost side wall of the half precast slab.

7. The half precast slab according to claim 6 , further comprising:

at least one prestressing steel wire extending along the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction to penetrate the first and second precast concrete members and configured to be applied with tension force; and

fixing members for fixing ends of the at least one prestressing steel wire,

wherein the first and second precast concrete members are connected to each other by the at least one prestressing steel wire and the fixing members.

8. The half precast slab according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one prestressing wire is arranged to extend through the bottom parts of the first and second precast concrete members.

9. The half precast slab according to claim 5 , further comprising:

at least one bolt configured to penetrate through-holes formed in the side walls that are in contact with each other; and

at least one nut configured to be threaded with the at least one bolt,

wherein the first and second precast concrete members are connected to each other by the at least one bolt and the at least one nut.
