Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of structural engineering and relates to a reinforcement device and design method for square-section columns, which can be used for the renovation and reinforcement of lapped and anchored square-section columns. Background Art

[0002] Existing reinforced concrete column components mostly connect longitudinal stressed steel bars in a lapped manner. Such construction measures may not meet the requirements of revised and upgraded building codes; in addition, the bottom reinforcement requirements of column components also change with the continuous upgrade of current codes. Therefore, it is necessary to reinforce and transform such components. Applying lateral restraint to components as an effective method to improve the seismic performance of reinforced concrete components has become the mainstream of reinforcement and transformation. Current reinforcement techniques can be divided into two categories: passive restraint and active restraint. The difference between them is that the binding force of passive restraint techniques appears after the component has a lateral deformation, and internal damage has occurred inside the component at this time; the binding force of active restraint techniques appears before the component has a lateral deformation, which can cause a certain degree of pre-strain in the component, thereby offsetting part of the lateral deformation caused by the axial pressure. It can be seen that the service time of the active restraint device is earlier and the effect is better.

[0003] Common active restraint reinforcement methods can be divided into four categories, namely, carbon fiber cloth (FRP) reinforcement under prestress, steel plate (hoop) reinforcement, shape memory metal SMA reinforcement, and other composite reinforcement methods. These methods are applicable to most building structures such as steel-concrete and steel structures, can improve the seismic performance of test pieces and improve the cracking condition, but have limitations such as complex construction and affecting the stiffness of the test pieces themselves. Therefore, an active restraint reinforcement method with simple operation and little impact on the structure itself is needed in engineering. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an active restraint method for defective columns with lapped and anchored square sections, including an active restraint reinforcement device and a supporting design method. The present invention can be used for rectangular-section beams and columns with binding lapping technology and full-length lapping. The device can be installed in the lapped and anchored area, and its characteristics are: (1) it can be distributed and installed flexibly without affecting the stiffness of the component itself; (2) it can be produced modularly, and users can independently select the required device size and quantity according to the supporting design method of the device.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

The contact module 2 is composed of an L-shaped corner contact angle steel 3 and two connecting angle steels 4 fixed on the two outer end faces of the corner contact angle steel 3. Specifically: the inner side surface of the corner contact angle steel 3 is fixedly connected to the square-section column, and the outer side surface is connected to the rolled thread steel rod system 1 through the connecting angle steel 4.

[0016] Step 2: Determine the installation position, quantity and size of the constraint module of the device.

[0017] 2.1: Determine the number of installation layers n of the device. The device is installed within the lapping section L s Inside, one layer is arranged at the lap joint, and the remaining arrangement positions are determined according to the project situation. The effective constraint area of the device should cover the entire lap area. The number of installation layers n is determined according to the project situation, and generally n is taken as 2 or 3.

[0018] 2.2: Determine the height B of the device constraint module, and the height can be obtained according to the following formula;

[0019] n(B + 4c) ≥ L s

[0020] Specifically, the value range of B is:

[0021]

[0022] In the formula, n is the number of installation layers, B is the height of the constraint module, c is the concrete cover thickness of the concrete column, and L s is the lap length of the object to be strengthened.

[0023] Furthermore, after determining the number of installation layers n and the height B of the constraint module, the following formula can be used for checking and iterating repeatedly to obtain the optimal solution.

[0035] 3.2: Determine the detailed dimensions of the connection module;

[0036] Furthermore, the detailed dimensions of the connection module need to satisfy the following formula:

[0037]

[0038] Wherein, F l is the total lateral restraint force that needs to be applied for n layers of devices; β f is the increase coefficient of the strength design value of the fillet weld in the front view; d1, b2, b3, h2 are the detailed dimensions of the connection module.

[0040] Step 4: Calculate the required torque.

[0041]

[0042] Wherein, μ' is the friction coefficient. When the processing surface is a dry processing surface, its value is 0.1 - 0.16; when the processing surface is a lubricated processing surface, its value is 0.06 - 0.10.

[0046] 5.2: Pass the precision rolled threaded steel rod system 1 through the threaded hole 8 on the connecting angle steel 4, and install the displacement adjustment sleeve 6 and the high-strength bolt 5 outside the precision rolled threaded steel rod system 1. At the connection position of the displacement adjustment sleeve 6, connect the four groups of constraint modules of one layer of the device through the precision rolled threaded steel rod system 1 at the specified position. Use a wrench to turn the high-strength bolt 5, and apply the pre-tightening force in two stages. In the first stage, apply 20% of the target torque to each bolt to ensure that the device does not fall off due to gravity at the specified position; in the second stage, apply torque evenly to the four precision rolled threaded steel rods. When the torques on the four threaded rods all reach the target torque, the installation work of the device is completed.

[0064]

[0065] Step 2: Determine the installation location, quantity of the device and the size of the restraint module.

[0066] The length of the lap joint area is 700 mm. Select three layers for reinforcement, one layer for the lap joint, one layer for the column root, and one layer in the middle. At this time, n = 3.

[0067] According to the formula given in Step 2, calculate the value range of B

[0068] B ∈ [73, 128]

[0069] Take B = 120 mm.

[0070] Check B and n.
