A Casing Buckling-Inducing Brace with Circumferential Helical Inducing Units

Abstract

The invention discloses a sleeve buckling induction brace with a circular spiral type induction unit. The brace is composed of an end constraint section, a buckling induction section, an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve. The buckling induction section is composed of at least one circular spiral type induction unit in the axial direction of the brace. The circular spiral type induction unit is a space body formed by sequentially arranging m circular spiral type subunits annularly, and the section of the space body is in a regular m polygon shape. Each circular spiral type subunit is a space body formed by folding two triangular plates collinearly. By the adoption of the sleeve buckling induction brace with the circular spiral type induction unit, the sleeve buckling induction brace keeps elasticity under the action of small seism and enters a yield stage under the action of middle seism or major seism, and the brace can also achieve the effect of a damper due to the good hysteretic energy performance. The sleeve buckling induction brace can be prefabricated in a factory, component quality is guaranteed, workloads of on-site construction are reduced, and energy conservation and environment protection are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of building structures, and in particular relates to a casing buckling induction support with a circumferential spiral induction unit, which is suitable for steel structures or concrete structures with buckling restraint supports. Background technique [0002] During the use of steel structures or reinforced concrete structures, ordinary supports will buckle under compression. When the supports buckle under compression, the stiffness and bearing capacity will decrease sharply. Under the action of earthquake or wind, the internal force of the support changes back and forth under the two states of compression and tension. When the support gradually changes from the buckling state to the tension state, the internal force and stiffness of the support are close to zero. Therefore, the hysteretic performance of ordinary supports is poor under repeated loads. In order to solve the problem of buckling under compre...

Problems solved by technology

On June 1, 2016, the applicant proposed an energy-dissipative buckling-constrained support with symmetrical initial defect units at the end (application number 201610383430.5) and a buckling-controlled support with diamond-shaped energy-dissipating units at the end (application No. 201610380804.8) has a fixed geometric configuration and little design flexibility

Moreover, the thickness and structure of the energy-dissipating unit at the crease in the above support are the same as those at the non-crease, which is not conducive to the generation of plastic hinges at the crease.

In addition, these supports are composed of end restraint segments, buckling segments, and sleeves. The sleeves are on the outside of the buckling segment, and there is no support on the inside of the buckling segment, which is prone to low-order instability toward the inside, thereby weakening the energy dissipation capacity of the support.
