Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] As important traffic infrastructure, the seismic performance of a bridge is a key indicator of the safety of the bridge structure. In recent years, major earthquakes have occurred frequently around the world, causing a large number of bridges to be damaged. Common bridge earthquake damage includes bridge span damage caused by fallen beams, mutual impact damage of bridge structures, bridge abutment subsidence and bending and shear damage of pier columns, which seriously threaten the safety of people's lives and property. Therefore, it is increasingly important to improve the seismic performance of bridges, meet the requirements of seismic codes, reduce the time and cost of restoring bridge structures to operation after an earthquake, and mitigate the damage of earthquakes to bridge structures.

[0003] Chinese patent 202021663916.2 discloses a shape memory alloy ring spring set and a fabricated self-centering bridge pier system, wherein the energy dissipation and self-centering components are a precision steel inner ring and a shape memory alloy outer ring on a steel rod. When the space between the precision steel inner rings is squeezed, the shape memory alloy outer ring will expand and deform, thereby dissipating energy. In addition, its special super-elasticity feature automatically restores the structure to its original position, thus also having the characteristic of self-centering. However, since the energy dissipation and self-centering components are installed inside the expanded foundation, they are difficult to monitor, not easy to maintain, and difficult to install. In addition, the energy dissipation and self-centering components are relatively simple and cannot respond to damage risks in a timely manner, which may pose a certain risk to the bridge structure. Patent 201910383625.3 discloses a new type of rocking self-centering bridge pier with energy dissipation device and application thereof, wherein the self-centering component is a prestressed steel bar inside the pier, and the energy dissipation component is a tension-compression combined energy dissipation device between the pier body and the pile cap, and the energy dissipation effect is provided by the shear deformation of high-damping rubber. Similarly, since the prestressed steel bar is inside the pier, it is difficult to monitor, not easy to maintain, and cannot be replaced. The invention uses a bridge seismic mitigation design, which has the problem of limiting the application conditions.

[0004] Therefore, the application provides a new self-resetting pier with a hollow hexagonal steel pipe energy dissipation system, which can dissipate seismic force through a pier bottom energy dissipation device, control the relative deformation of a bearing surface within a permissible range, and simultaneously provide energy dissipation by the hollow hexagonal steel pipe, spring and composite foam aluminum, and the hollow hexagonal steel pipe made of a memory alloy can restore after deformation, thereby giving the structure a self-resetting capability, and the vertical tension system also has good self-resetting capability, so that the upper structure of the bridge can be basically restored to the original position after an earthquake.
