The invention relates to a
variable stiffness and energy dissipation type fabricated transverse connection structure and an installation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of building structure
earthquake resistance. The
variable stiffness and energy dissipation type fabricated transverse connection structure includes an energy dissipation zone and a lifting zone, the energy dissipation zone uses the deformation energy dissipation of soft steel or stainless steel, the lifting zone uses the deformation energy dissipation of screws of common bolts, and threshold control is realized by setting the size of bolt holes on
steel plates of the lifting zone. When small earthquakes and moderate earthquakes occur, end plates connected with structural members move relatively with the relative movement of the structural members, at the moment, energy dissipation
steel plates dissipate energy through deformation, the first stage of energy dissipation is achieved; and When
large earthquakes occur, the end plates move relatively and exceeds the threshold, screws in the lifting zone are in contact with bolt holes on variable cross-sections and starts to deform and dissipate energy, at the moment, the screws in the lifting zone and the
steel plates in the energy dissipation zone commonly deform and dissipate energy, the second stage of the energy dissipation is achieved,
jumping again can be achieved after
bearing capacity reaches the
peak value, after the earthquakes, components can be replaced or a whole
damper can be replaced according to the actual damage of the
damper, bolted connection can be easily replaced and disassembled, and the concept of
sustainable development is met.
