In accordance with the "Regulations on Seismic Management of Construction Projects" (State Council Decree No. 744), newly built hospitals, nursing homes and other buildings located in high-intensity seismic fortification areas and key earthquake monitoring and defense areas should adopt seismic isolation and damping technologies in accordance with relevant national regulations to ensure that they can meet normal use requirements when a seismic fortification earthquake occurs in the region.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a combined energy dissipation and vibration reduction system and design method suitable for medical building frame structures. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The viscous damping assembly includes a connector located on an upper and lower section on adjacent transverse beams, and a viscous damper parallel to the transverse beams and connected at both ends to the upper connector and the lower connector, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, the buckling restraint support and viscous damping components are respectively disposed within the corresponding horizontally arranged frame grids.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple viscous damping components are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction within multiple frame grids; multiple buckling restraint supports are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal direction within multiple frame grids.

[0010] Furthermore, the buckling restraint braces and viscous damping components arranged laterally adjacent to each other are referred to as energy dissipation and damping combinations, and multiple energy dissipation and damping combinations are evenly arranged.

[0011] Furthermore, the buckling-restrained brace is provided with steel node plates at both ends, and is connected to the frame mesh through the steel node plates;

[0013] The embedded parts located on one side of the transverse beam and the longitudinal column are connected to the node plate;

[0014] The extension direction of the stiffening rib is consistent with that of the buckling-restrained brace.

[0015] Furthermore, the connector is a connecting wall adapted to the transverse beam.

[0016] Furthermore, the viscous damper is hinged to anchor bolt seats at both ends, and the bottom of the anchor bolt seats is embedded in the connecting wall.

[0017] As a specific technical solution, the transverse beams and longitudinal columns are concrete beams or reinforced steel beams.

[0018] A design method for a combined energy dissipation and vibration reduction structure includes the following steps:

[0019] S1: Based on the overall design objectives of combined energy dissipation and vibration reduction, assess the total lateral stiffness required by the main structure under frequent earthquakes;

[0020] S2: Determine the lateral stiffness of the buckling-restrained energy dissipation brace based on the total lateral stiffness of the main structure;

[0028] S8: Calculate whether the additional damping ratio, quantity, and layout scheme of the viscous dampers meet the seismic reduction target of the main structure under the design earthquake.

[0029] If not, proceed to steps S6 to S8, and in step S6, redetermine the additional damping ratio and number of viscous dampers; or proceed to steps S2 to S8, and in step S2, redetermine the lateral stiffness of the buckling-restrained energy dissipation brace.

[0030] If so, proceed to step S9;

[0031] S9: Perform vibration reduction structure verification according to the specifications, and check whether the strength, stability and overall stiffness of the components for frequent earthquakes, design earthquakes and rare earthquakes meet the requirements by fine-tuning buckling restraint energy dissipation braces and viscous dampers.

The results show that the calculated parameters of the structure meet the code requirements under both design and rare earthquakes. Under design earthquakes, the structural beams and columns do not enter a plastic state, thus meeting normal service requirements; that is, it can be used immediately under moderate earthquakes.

At the same time, it responds to the requirements of key seismic fortification categories and the regulations on seismic management of building projects, ensuring that it can meet normal use requirements when a seismic fortification earthquake occurs in this region, that is, it can be used immediately under moderate earthquakes, thus improving the seismic toughness of the structure.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the buckling restraint braces 4 and viscous damping components are respectively disposed within the corresponding transversely arranged frame grids 1. Preferably, the transversely adjacent buckling restraint braces 4 and viscous damping components are referred to as energy dissipation and damping combinations, and multiple energy dissipation and damping combinations are evenly distributed.

[0063] In some specific embodiments, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the buckling-restrained brace 4 is provided with steel gusset plates 7 at both ends and is connected to the frame grid 1 through the steel gusset plates 7; more specifically, the steel gusset plates 7 include gusset plates 701 located at the corners of the frame grid 1, embedded parts 702 respectively embedded on the opposite sides of the transverse beam 2 and the longitudinal column 3, tie bolts 703 located between the embedded parts 702 and passing through the transverse beam 2 and / or the longitudinal column 3; stiffening ribs 704 located opposite to the sides of the gusset plates 701; the embedded parts 702 located on one side of the transverse beam 2 and the longitudinal column 3 are connected to the gusset plates 701; the extension direction of the stiffening ribs 704 is consistent with that of the buckling-restrained brace 4.

[0069] S2: Determine the lateral stiffness of buckling-restrained brace 4 based on the total lateral stiffness of the main structure;

[0070] S3: Determine the arrangement scheme of buckling-restrained brace 4 based on its lateral stiffness.

[0071] S4: Calculate whether the lateral stiffness and arrangement of buckling-restrained brace 4 meet the total lateral stiffness of the main structure.

[0072] If not, proceed to steps S2 to S4, and in step S2, redetermine the lateral stiffness of the buckling-restrained brace 4;

[0073] If so, proceed to step S5;

[0074] S5: Determine the seismic reduction targets for the main structure under design earthquake conditions;

[0075] S6: Based on the seismic reduction target of the main structure under the design earthquake, determine the additional damping ratio and quantity required for viscous damper 6;

[0076] S7: Determine the arrangement scheme of viscous damper 6 based on the additional damping ratio and quantity required by viscous damper 6.

[0077] S8: Calculate whether the additional damping ratio, quantity, and arrangement scheme of the viscous dampers 6 meet the seismic reduction target of the main structure under the design earthquake.

[0079] For example, depending on the designer's habits, the damping ratio can be adjusted first, the number of dampers can be increased and the arrangement can be adjusted, and then the stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of the energy dissipation support can be adjusted; or the stiffness and energy dissipation capacity of the energy dissipation support can be adjusted first, and then the damping ratio can be adjusted, the number of dampers can be increased and the arrangement can be adjusted.

[0080] If so, proceed to step S9;

[0081] S9: Perform vibration reduction structure verification according to the specifications, and check whether the strength, stability and overall stiffness of the components for frequent earthquakes, design earthquakes and rare earthquakes meet the requirements by fine-tuning the buckling restraint brace 4 and viscous damper 6.

[0088] S3: Transport the processed buckling restraint brace 4, viscous damper 6 and corresponding connecting structure to the construction site and install them on site.

[0089] To improve the seismic performance of the structure, reduce seismic forces, and comply with the requirements of the Seismic Management Regulations for Construction Projects, this embodiment adopts a combined energy dissipation and damping technology scheme using wall-connected viscous dampers and buckling-restrained braces. Under frequent and design earthquakes, the buckling-restrained braces primarily provide stiffness; under rare earthquakes, they also dissipate energy in addition to providing stiffness. The viscous dampers do not provide stiffness but dissipate energy under both design and rare earthquakes, providing additional damping ratio to the structure and protecting the main structure.

[0090] The adoption of combined energy dissipation and vibration reduction technology greatly improves the seismic performance of the structure. At the same time, it responds to the requirements of key seismic fortification and the regulations on seismic management of building projects, ensuring that it can meet the normal use requirements when a seismic fortification earthquake occurs in this region. That is, it can be used immediately under moderate earthquakes, so that the structure has two seismic fortification systems and improves the seismic toughness of the structure.
