Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of construction engineering, and in particular to an assembled square steel tube confined concrete column-beam node. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, my country's prefabricated buildings and building industrialization have developed rapidly. Steel tube confined concrete structure has emerged as a new type of prefabricated structural system. This system has good mechanical properties and good economy, and has been increasingly widely used.

[0003] Joints are key components of building frames, especially after a structure experiences a strong earthquake and enters the elastoplastic stage. Joints play a crucial role in the integrity and stability of the structure. Severe damage to joints at locations where shear forces and bending moments are greatest under earthquakes can lead to structural collapse. Therefore, the current focus of research on steel-contained concrete (CFST) structures is on how to connect reinforced concrete beams to concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, how to reinforce the joints, and how to ensure simple and reliable construction of the joints. In-depth research on the construction and seismic performance of CFST column-CFST beam joints, and the development of safe, reliable, and easy-to-construct joint forms and design methods, are crucial for promoting the widespread application of CFST structures in engineering.

[0004] At present, existing steel tube confined concrete structures use ring reinforcement nodes or semi-through nodes in the core area of ​​steel tube confined concrete columns and reinforced concrete beams. The former has a large diameter of column stirrups in the core area, while the latter has a small opening, both of which make it difficult to thread the longitudinal reinforcement of the beam. In addition, the construction operation surface is small, making it difficult to tie the steel bars and pour concrete in the core area. Summary of the Invention

[0008] According to the above scheme, horizontal connecting partitions are provided in the node upper column steel pipe and the node lower column steel pipe; the horizontal connecting partition includes four partition units connected end to end in sequence, and the middle parts of the four partition units are enclosed to form a through hole; each partition unit includes a mounting frame and an outward-extending flange plate, and the flange plate is fixed to the outer edge of the mounting frame.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the four upper corners of the upper column steel pipe of the node and the four lower corners of the lower column steel pipe are respectively provided with oblique stiffening ribs; the oblique stiffening ribs are triangular, and their two side edges are connected to the two inner side walls of the upper column steel pipe of the node or the lower column steel pipe of the node; the oblique stiffening ribs are inclined toward the centroid of the column section of the upper column steel pipe of the node or the lower column steel pipe of the node.

[0012] According to the above solution, the oblique stiffening rib is provided with a central hole.

[0019] 4. The horizontal connecting diaphragms in this invention not only resist shear forces at the beam-column connection but also shift the plastic hinge outward, complying with the "strong joint, weak component" design standard. They also integrate the beam and column, enhancing structural rigidity and integrity. The upper and lower horizontal connecting steel plates reduce the compressive height of the joint area, significantly improving the bearing capacity of the core area. Furthermore, the horizontal connecting diaphragms secure the column longitudinal reinforcement, improving its ability to resist buckling.

[0020] 5. In the present invention, the horizontal connecting partition is overlapped on the variable thickness reinforced connecting steel pipe to form a structural core tube, which enhances the restraining effect of the steel pipe on the concrete at the node position, not only enhancing the bearing capacity of the concrete, but also enabling the steel pipe and concrete to work better together.

[0044] In this embodiment, the oblique stiffening ribs 3 are respectively welded and fixed to the node upper column steel pipe 1 and the node lower column steel pipe 2.

[0045] In actual construction, the column-beam node and the upper and lower column steel pipes (column bodies) are poured into one piece by concrete, and gaps are left between the upper column steel pipe 1 and the upper column steel pipe 8, and between the lower column steel pipe 2 and the lower column steel pipe 9.

[0047] 2.

[0048] 3. Fabricate the middle connecting steel pipe 5: Use four pieces of special-shaped and variable-thickness steel plates to enclose and weld together to form the middle connecting steel pipe 5. Set upper connecting areas 5.1 corresponding to the positions of the first extension section 1.1 at the top four corners of the middle connecting steel pipe 5, and set lower connecting areas 5.2 corresponding to the positions of the second extension section 2.1 at the bottom four corners of the middle connecting steel pipe 5.

The longitudinal reinforcement of the structural beam 7 is inserted into the upper and lower column steel pipes 2 of the node through the first notch 1.2 and the second notch 2.2 and fixed.
