Wale support module for filling and reuse of non-welding groove

Abstract

A wale support module used to mount a wale on a soldier pile of a retaining wall, where the wale support module enables a groove defined between a soldier pile and a wale to be easily filled by a groove filling block, allows a groove filling block-side wale support or a pile support to pivot in response to the installation angle of an earth anchor to respond appropriately to the inclination of the wale so that the optimal anchoring force of the earth anchor can be exercised, can be removed and reused when a retaining wall is dismantled, and allows the stability of the installation of the wale to be increased by a reverse wale hanger.

1 . A wale support module ( 100 ) used to mount a wale ( 20 ) on a soldier pile ( 12 ) of a retaining wall comprising:
 a wale support bracket ( 110 ) which is detachably installed on the soldier pile ( 12 ) located at a position at which the wale ( 20 ) is disposed so as to support the wale ( 20 ); and   a groove filling block ( 120  or  120 ′) which is supported by the wale support bracket ( 110 ) and fills a groove defined between the wale ( 20 ) and the soldier pile ( 12 ).   
     
     
         2 . The wale support module of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a reverse wale hanger ( 130 ) which is disposed on an upper side of the groove filling block ( 120 ) and is detachably installed on the soldier pile ( 12 ) so that an installation state of the wale ( 20 ) is maintained.   
     
     
         3 . The wale support module of  claim 1 , wherein the wale support bracket ( 110 ) comprises:
 a wale-supporting lower vertical bar ( 112 ) which is disposed under the groove filling block ( 120 ) and is located to be in contact with the soldier pile ( 12 );   a wale-supporting lower support ( 114 ) which is fixed to an upper end of the wale-supporting lower vertical bar ( 112 ) at one end thereof and supports a lower end of the wale ( 20 );   a wale-supporting lower reinforcement bar ( 116 ) which is fixed to a lower end of the wale-supporting lower vertical bar ( 112 ) at a first end thereof and is fixed to the wale-supporting lower support ( 114 ) at a second end thereof; and   wale-supporting upper and lower hinge joints ( 118   a  and  118   b ) which are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the wale-supporting lower vertical bar ( 112 ) by detachable hinge bolts ( 117 ) and are welded to the soldier pile ( 12 ).   
     
     
         4 . The wale support module of  claim 1 , wherein the groove filling block ( 120 ) comprises:
 a block body ( 1210 ) having a block lower surface ( 1210   a ) in surface contact with a support surface of the wale support bracket ( 110 ), a block vertical surface ( 1210   b ) which is perpendicular to the block lower surface ( 1210   a ) and faces the wale ( 20 ), and a block inclined surface ( 1210   c ) which has a predetermined acute angle to the block lower surface ( 1210   a ) and is in surface contact with the soldier pile ( 12 );   a plurality of nuts ( 1220 ) for groove filling interval adjustment installed on the block vertical surface ( 1210   b );   a groove filling bolt ( 1230 ) having a screw shaft ( 1231 ) at a first end thereof so that the screw shaft ( 1231 ) is screwed to each of the nuts ( 1220 ) for groove filling interval adjustment and having a cylindrical pivot ( 1232 ) at a second end thereof so that the cylindrical pivot ( 1232 ) has a spherical groove ( 1232   a ) and a circularly arranged groove ( 1232   b ) for rotation manipulation; and   a wale support ( 1240 ) which is spherically coupled to a spherical groove ( 1232   a ) of the cylindrical pivot ( 1232 ) and is in surface contact with the wale ( 20 ).   
     
     
         5 . The wale support module of  claim 1 , wherein the groove filling block ( 120 ′) comprises:
 a block body ( 1210 ′) having a block lower surface ( 1210   a ′) in surface contact with a support surface of the wale support bracket ( 110 ), a block vertical surface ( 1210   b ′) which is perpendicular to the block lower surface ( 1210   a ′) and faces the wale ( 20 ), and a screw groove ( 1210   d ′) for groove filling interval adjustment threaded into the block vertical surface ( 1210   b ′); 
 a groove filling bolt ( 1230 ′) having a screw shaft ( 1231 ′) at a first end thereof so that the screw shaft ( 1231 ′) is screwed to the screw groove ( 1210   d ′) for groove filling interval adjustment and having a groove ( 1232   b ′) for rotation manipulation at a second end thereof so that the groove filling bolt ( 1230 ′) is in surface contact with the wale ( 20 ); 
 a lower pivot bolt ( 1250 ′) being screwed to the block body ( 1210 ′) so that the lower pivot bolt ( 1250 ′) is able to protrude from the block body ( 1210 ′); and 
 a pile support ( 1260 ′) which is spherically coupled to the lower pivot bolt ( 1250 ′) and is in surface contact with the soldier pile ( 12 ). 
 
     
     
         6 . The wale support module of  claim 1 , wherein a reverse wale hanger ( 130 ) comprises:
 a hanger vertical bar ( 132 ) which is disposed on an upper side of the groove filling block ( 120 ) and is located to be in contact with the soldier pile ( 12 );   a hanger support bar ( 134 ) which is fixed to a lower end of the hanger vertical bar ( 132 ) at one end thereof and is in contact with an upper end of the wale ( 20 );   a hanger reinforcement bar ( 136 ) which is fixed to an upper end of the hanger vertical bar ( 132 ) at a first end thereof and is fixed to the hanger support bar ( 134 ) at a second end thereof; and   upper and lower hanger hinge joints ( 138   a  and  138   b ) which are respectively connected to the upper end lower ends of the hanger vertical bar ( 132 ) by detachable hinge bolts ( 137 ) and are welded to the soldier pile ( 12 ).   
     
     
         7 . The wale support module of  claim 3 , wherein a pair of groove filling block guides ( 115 ) is installed on the lower support ( 114 ) of the wale support bracket ( 110 ) so that the groove filling block guides ( 115 ) face each other so as to guide installation of the groove filling block ( 120 ) and to prevent the groove filling block ( 120 ) from deviating from an installation position thereof.
