Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of prefabricated building technology, and relates to a modular prefabricated steel structure building connection system and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the country has vigorously promoted the low-carbon, green, industrialized, and intelligent construction of civil buildings. Against the backdrop of reducing carbon emissions across all sectors of society, modular steel structure buildings have begun to attract industry attention due to their unique advantages over traditional building structures. These advantages include: fast construction speed and short construction time; factory prefabrication, controllable quality, less resource waste, and significantly reduced carbon emissions; and the ability to carry out internal pipeline laying, equipment installation, and other interior decoration in advance, greatly shortening the building's construction cycle.
[0003] Modular steel structure building is a new type of building structure system. It refers to the disassembly of the building structure, with each room in the building as an independent modular unit. The modular units are industrially produced in the factory, then transported to the construction site, and finally connected together by a reliable connection method to form a whole building.
[0004] The connection method between modular units will directly affect the load-bearing capacity, stiffness, seismic performance, installation efficiency, and design methods of modular steel structure buildings.
[0005] Currently, most connections between modules in modular steel structure buildings are still made by bolting between beam and column joints, a small portion are made by pre-embedding steel connectors and grouting, and a few are made by prestressed tie rods and self-locking corner fittings.
[0006] The connection methods mentioned above, which have been proposed or applied in engineering practice, each have their own advantages, but they also have many problems.
[0007] For example, bolted connections require high construction precision and ample construction space. High precision hinders rapid assembly and can lead to construction difficulties, while ample space necessitates internal access points within the modules, impacting interior finishing. From the perspective of node strength and stiffness, most of the aforementioned connection methods are either semi-rigid or flexible, limiting the potential for increasing the height of modular buildings. From the perspective of connection areas, existing methods connect module units only at their corners, creating a "stacked beam and multiple column" structure. Columns are only connected at their ends, lacking reliable horizontal connections elsewhere. This results in the combined columns not coordinating load-bearing, leading to a large overall cross-section, material waste, and complex stress distribution. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In view of this, the present application provides a modular fabricated steel structure building connection system based on grouting connection to solve the problems of high construction precision requirement, large construction space affecting interior decoration, low stiffness of node connection area and no reliable connection in the horizontal direction of column-column.
