Abstract

A beam reinforcing metallic material includes a welding surface, a counter-flange-part surface, a contacting surface, a protrusion, and the like. The beam reinforcing material is a member that is made of metal such as steel for example. The beam reinforcing metallic material is not plate shaped but has a three dimensional shape. More particularly, the cross-sectional shape varies from the edge parts toward the center part in longitudinal direction. The cross section (cross-sectional area) of the center part of the beam reinforcing metallic material in longitudinal direction is larger than the cross sections (cross-sectional areas) of the both end parts. Increasing the cross-sectional area of the vicinity of the center part of the beam reinforcing metallic material allows the part that receives maximum stress to securely obtain the flexural strength when the beam reinforcing metallic material is fixed to the beam.

Claims (23)

1. A beam reinforcing metallic material that reinforces a web part and a through hole of a beam, comprising:

a contacting surface that contacts with the web part of the beam;

a welding surface that is welded to the web part; and

a counter-flange-part surface that approximately faces the welding surface and faces the flange part of the beam, wherein

the beam reinforcing metallic material has a longitudinal direction that is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the beam when the beam reinforcing metallic material is attached to the beam,

the cross-section of a center part of the beam-reinforcing metallic material in the longitudinal direction is larger than the cross-sections of both end parts in the longitudinal direction,

a plurality of protrusions that show a direction of the counter-flange-part surface are formed on part of the counter-flange-part surface,

the protrusions extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction,

the welding surface comprises a welded part that is welded to the web part, welding-range specifying part that specifies a range of welding, an angle-varying part, and an other part of the welding surface, and

the welding range specifying part is an angle varying-part in which an angle between the welded part and the other part of the welding surface varies.

2. The beam reinforcing metallic material according to claim 1 , wherein

the protrusion is not formed up to the edge part of the contacting surface and a gap is formed between the lower edge of the protrusion and the edge part of the contacting surface.

3. The beam reinforcing metallic material according to claim 1 , wherein

the protrusion is formed up to the edge part of the contacting surface.

4. A beam reinforcing structure using any of the beam reinforcing metallic material according to claim 1 , wherein

a pair of the beam reinforcing metallic material is located on a beam having the web part with a through hole formed thereon so that the counter-flange-part surfaces of the beam reinforcing metallic materials in the vicinity of each of the flange parts, which are above and below the through hole, face each of the flange parts respectively and the contacting surface is in contact with the web part; and

the web part and the beam reinforcing metallic material are welded and fixed with the welded surface.

5. A beam reinforcing structure using any of the beam reinforcing metallic material according to claim 2 , wherein

a pair of the beam reinforcing metallic material is located on a beam having the web part with a through hole formed thereon so that the counter-flange-part surfaces of the beam reinforcing metallic materials in the vicinity of each of the flange parts, which are above and below the through hole, face each of the flange parts respectively and the contacting surface is in contact with the web part; and

the web part and the beam reinforcing metallic material are welded and fixed with the welded surface.

6. A beam reinforcing structure using any of the beam reinforcing metallic material according to claim 3 , wherein

a pair of the beam reinforcing metallic material is located on a beam having the web part with a through hole formed thereon so that the counter-flange-part surfaces of the beam reinforcing metallic materials in the vicinity of each of the flange parts, which are above and below the through hole, face each of the flange parts respectively and the contacting surface is in contact with the web part; and

the web part and the beam reinforcing metallic material are welded and fixed with the welded surface.
