Abstract

As buildings become taller, the strength of structural materials must increase and the amount of rebar reinforcement also increases while the application of an appropriate rebar splice method in the construction process become one of the essential factors. In this research, the current status of quality check for rebar coupler is identified by an expert questionnaire and an appropriate quality check method is proposed through a quality test on specimens similar to actual on-site construction. In the test results, it was revealed that, among the quality check methods for rebar coupler joints, the coupler tightening method and face to face degree of between upper and lower rebar did not affect the strength the specimen. Therefore, it is considered to be an appropriate way to check the coupler quality check to check whether the threads are completely assembled during on-site construction through manufacture the number of threads of rebar and coupler with a margin beyond the calculated thread number.

건물의 초고층화에 따라 구조재료의 강도 증가와 철근의 배근량이 증가할 뿐만 아니라 철근의 시공과정에서 적절한 이음방식의 사용이 필수적인 요소 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 철근 커플러이음의 시공품질 확인실태를 전문가 설문을 통해 파악하고, 실제 현장 시공과 유사한 시험체에 대한 품질시험을 통해 적정 품질 확인방안을 제시하고자 한다. 시험결과 설문조사 결과에서 나온 품질확인 방법 중 커플러 조임방법과 상하 두 철근의 맞댐 정도 등이 시험체 강도에 영향을 주지 않는다는 결과를 얻었다. 따라서 철근과 커플러의 나사산 개수를 계산치보다 여유를 두고 제작하고, 현장 시공시 나사산이 완전히 조립되었는지 확인하는 것이 적절한 커플러 품질 확인방법으로 사료된다.
