Abstract

The present invention relates to a prefabricated bracket assembly integrated into a prefabricated column assembly for connecting PC beams, the end portions of PC beams being placed inside the prefabricated bracket assembly that is assembled on top of the prefabricated column assembly, into which concrete is poured so as to connect the PC beams and the prefabricated bracket assembly, thereby facilitating the connection of the PC beams to a factory-made prefabricated column assembly and allowing cost reduction.

Claims (9)

1. In a prefabricated bracket assembly ( 2 ), which is formed in a U shape with an open top portion and integrally provided with a prefabricated column assembly ( 1 ) to connect a precast concrete beam ( 3 ) to the prefabricated column assembly ( 1 ) that includes first connecting bars ( 12 ) connected to outer surfaces of vertical steel members ( 11 ), thereby interconnecting a plurality of vertical steel members ( 11 ) arranged in the vertical direction at each corner of a column member and neighboring vertical steel members ( 11 ), the prefabricated bracket assembly ( 2 ) integrated to the prefabricated column assembly ( 1 ) to connect the precast concrete beam ( 3 ), comprising:

four horizontal steel members ( 21 ), which are spaced apart from each other in the up, down, left, and right directions, and penetrate a prefabricated column assembly ( 1 ) in the horizontal direction so that both ends protrude to the outside of side surfaces of the prefabricated column assembly ( 1 );

second connecting bars ( 22 ) for connecting horizontal steel members ( 21 ) neighboring in the up and down directions and horizontal steel members ( 21 ) neighboring in the left and right directions at the bottom, respectively;

lightweight permanent formworks ( 23 ) coupled to the outside of the second connecting bars ( 22 ) on each face of side portions and lower portions of the horizontal steel members ( 21 );

a mounting bar ( 25 ), which are provided at lower portions of one pair of horizontal steel members ( 21 ) located at the bottom to cross the one pair of horizontal steel members ( 21 ) and has a cross-sectional size larger than that of the second connecting bars ( 22 );

support pads ( 26 ) provided on an upper surface of the mounting bar ( 25 );

an upper support bar ( 27 ), which is provided on upper portions of one pair of horizontal steel members ( 21 ) located at the top to cross upper portion of the precast concrete beam ( 3 ) and prevents the precast concrete beam ( 3 ) accommodated inside from falling off or the lightweight permanent formworks ( 23 ) from spreading out; and

seats ( 14 ), which are horizontally coupled to one pair of the vertical steel members ( 11 ) of the prefabricated column assembly ( 1 ) on each side surface, where each of the prefabricated bracket assemblies ( 2 ) is coupled, and are spaced apart from each other in the up and down directions, so that the upper and lower horizontal steel members ( 21 ) are mounted on the seats ( 14 ), respectively,

wherein with end portion of the precast concrete beam ( 3 ) accommodated inside to be mounted on upper surfaces of the support pads ( 26 ) on the mounting bar ( 25 ), concrete (C) is poured inside the lightweight permanent formworks ( 23 ) so that the precast concrete beam ( 3 ) is joined.
