Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of engineering structure dynamic test research, and particularly relates to a directional sliding hinge support for structure pseudo-static test and an assembling method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the test research on the seismic performance of building structures, the pseudo-static test can not only reflect the state evolution of a test piece from the initial loading to the failure state, but also has the advantages of simple requirement for loading equipment and low test cost compared with the shaking table test and the pseudo-dynamic test.

[0003] When the pseudo-static test on the seismic performance of the frame column, which is the key component of the most widely used frame structure, is performed, the lower end of the test piece column needs to be constrained, and a certain axial compression and gradually increasing reciprocating horizontal force need to be applied to the upper end of the test piece. In order to simulate the constraint of the beam on the column, a horizontal beam segment needs to be connected to the upper end of the column in the test, and a directional sliding hinge support close to the “inflexion point” needs to be constrained at the distal end of the beam.

[0004] When the pseudo-static test on the seismic performance of the beam-column joint of the frame structure is performed, a cross-shaped substructure is generally made, a fixed hinge support is used to constrain the lower end of the lower column, a directional sliding hinge support is used to constrain the end portions of the left and right horizontal beams, and a vertical compression and a gradually increasing horizontal reciprocating load are applied to the upper end of the upper column.

[0005] In addition to the above typical test scenarios, the equivalent constraint of the “directional sliding hinge support” at the end of the test component also often appears in the pseudo-static hysteretic test of components such as wall-beam substructures and haunch joint substructures. Overall, the “directional sliding hinge support” constraint is in great demand in the pseudo-static test of structures.

[0006] Specifically, the “directional sliding hinge support” aims to achieve the following three purposes: 1. releasing the bending moment constraint; 2. constraining the vertical displacement; and 3. releasing the horizontal displacement. The existing test method generally uses a directional sliding guide rail or a sliding vehicle in combination with a spherical hinge to achieve the directional sliding hinge support constraint at the end of the component. This method requires many specially processed parts, and the cost is relatively high. In addition, due to the variable height of the test piece, the sliding guide rail and the spherical hinge assembly need to be installed on a support assembly that is adapted to the height of the test piece, which further increases the difficulty of test design, assembly and loading.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of “directional sliding hinge support” structure to solve the problems of many specially processed parts, difficult installation and assembly, and high processing cost of the traditional structure. SUMMARY
