AI Technical Summary
Existing steel structure nodes are prone to premature failure when subjected to accidental loads, and repair is uneconomical. They lack the seismic resistance of a second line of defense and are unable to protect the structure from collapse and provide escape time during earthquakes.
Design a replaceable node with two lines of defense. Through the combination of internal steel pipe components and external corrugated steel pipes, the external corrugated steel pipes bear the force transmission after the internal steel pipes are damaged. The external corrugated steel pipes have good deformation capacity, which extends the ductility and deformation capacity of the structure, ensuring that the node does not collapse during earthquakes and can be quickly replaced.
It effectively controls the outward displacement of plastic hinges, increases the ductile deformation capacity of nodes, protects the structure from collapse, provides escape time, reduces economic losses, and enables rapid repair and reuse.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building structures, and particularly relates to a replaceable node with two lines of defense. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steel structure engineering is widely used in the construction industry due to its light weight, high strength, good plasticity and toughness, and high degree of mechanization in manufacturing and installation. In recent years, as the service life of building structures is longer, the probability of being subjected to accidental loads (such as earthquakes, fires, explosions, impacts, etc.) is correspondingly increasing, and the probability of structural member damage or failure is also significantly increasing. If the node is damaged prematurely, the structure will not be able to play a major role in resisting progressive collapse damage. Therefore, the node has sufficient strength and deformation capacity, which is an important guarantee for the beam-column connection node not to occur progressive collapse damage.
[0003] The seismic design code for building structures requires that the node have sufficient ductility to meet the deformation requirements of the structure under seismic action so as not to occur brittle failure. The existing beam-column connection is welded, and the connection position is prone to brittle failure, so measures need to be taken to prevent the node from producing brittle failure. The current improved connection methods are as follows: 1. Cover plate connection: strengthen the beam end to realize the strong node design concept; 2. Expand the beam end flange: expand the flange, increase the contact area of the beam end and the column, and protect the beam end from premature damage; dog bone connection: weaken the beam section to realize the plastic hinge migration, so that the node produces plastic failure; the disadvantages of the above connection methods are 1. Although the plastic hinge migration is realized to achieve plastic failure of the beam-column node, once the damage occurs, it does not have the second line of defense for seismic resistance; 2. The node is not easy to repair after damage, and the repair process is not economical (high cost).
[0004] Therefore, it is a known research problem to provide a replaceable node with two lines of defense that can play a role through the connection of the external corrugated steel pipe and the steel beam after the internal steel pipe is damaged. SUMMARY
