[0002] It is very important for buildings to maintain a certain degree of functional integrity and safety after being hit by external shocks such as natural disasters and human damage, and to have the ability to recover quickly and adapt. In recent years, earthquake disasters have occurred frequently, and traditional earthquake-resistant building structures may be severely damaged under the action of earthquakes, and the cost of post-earthquake repair is high. Based on recent earthquake damage experience, the current earthquake-resistant design methods face the following practical problems:

[0003] (1) Traditional earthquake-resistant technologies mainly use methods such as strengthening columns, beams, and joints, but these methods cannot guarantee the earthquake-resistant resilience of buildings;

[0004] (2) Traditional tuning technology mainly relies on tuned mass dampers, which are usually installed on the top of the structure. However, their effect on controlling the seismic response of the structure is generally limited.

[0005] Patent CN106948637A discloses a shock absorption system with a self-resetting movable substructure, including a main structure and a movable substructure, wherein the upper part of the movable substructure is connected to the main structure through a node that provides torsional or translational stiffness, and the bottom of the movable substructure is connected to the ground through an energy-absorbing component. However, the energy-absorbing method of the patent is relatively single, and its adaptability to different earthquake effects is limited. Moreover, when the movable substructure swings too much, it is difficult to return to its original position and needs to be repaired after the earthquake.

[0006] Patent CN112982730A discloses a self-resetting wall with tuning-swing-friction composite graded energy dissipation function, which is composed of prefabricated wall, steel strand, long metal rubber pad, short metal rubber pad, air spring, sliding hinge support, arc friction energy dissipation device; the bottom of the prefabricated wall is hinged by sliding hinge support and lateral stiffness is provided by air spring, and the swing frequency of the prefabricated wall is controlled near the main structure frequency by adjusting the lateral stiffness provided by the air spring, so as to play the role of energy dissipation and shock absorption; when the seismic action is small, the tuned mass damper composed of the prefabricated wall performs swing energy dissipation and shock absorption; when the seismic action is large, while the prefabricated wall is swinging and consuming energy, the friction plates in the arc friction energy dissipation device contact each other and begin to play the role of friction energy dissipation. However, the structure of the patent is relatively complex, involving multiple connection devices such as steel strand, sliding hinge support, metal rubber pad, air spring, and arc friction energy dissipation device composed of various types of metal plates, arc friction plates, arc smooth plates, etc., and the adaptability to different seismic actions is limited.

The present invention improves the seismic resilience of existing buildings under earthquakes, reduces the damage caused by earthquakes to building structures, and realizes automatic reset of walls after earthquakes.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0009] One of the technical solutions of the present invention is to provide a tuned self-resetting wall structure system for improving the seismic toughness of existing buildings, the system includes a self-resetting wall, a linear viscoelastic device, a protection frame, a buffer element and an additional damping element, the self-resetting wall is an external substructure of the main structure, connected in parallel with the main structure, the self-resetting wall is connected to the foundation of the main structure through prestressed tendons, a protection frame is arranged on the outside of the bottom of the self-resetting wall, the protection frame is fixed on the foundation of the main structure, the protection frame prevents the self-resetting wall from overturning and swinging too much, and ensures that the linear viscoelastic device always remains within the linear elastic range, the two sides of the self-resetting wall are connected to the floor slab of the main structure through the linear viscoelastic device, this connection method allows the self-resetting wall to independently reset relative to the main structure under the action of an earthquake, thereby absorbing and dissipating seismic energy, the linear viscoelastic device allows the self-resetting wall to generate a damping force when self-resetting, which helps to reduce the self-resetting amplitude of the self-resetting wall and provide necessary energy dissipation, the linear viscoelastic device adopts one or more of a variable inertia element, a variable stiffness element, and a variable damping element in parallel, the variable inertia element The element is attached to the self-resetting wall and is used to enhance the inertia effect of the tuned self-resetting wall structure system, significantly improving the additional inertia of the tuned self-resetting wall structure system, so that the tuned self-resetting wall structure system can generate a larger inertial force under the action of an earthquake, thereby improving the dynamic response capability of the tuned self-resetting wall structure under the action of an earthquake, and further absorbing and dissipating the earthquake energy. The variable stiffness element adapts to different earthquake actions and building structure requirements by adjusting the stiffness value, thereby optimizing the performance of the tuned self-resetting wall structure system. The variable damping element controls the vibration amplitude of the self-resetting wall by adjusting the damping coefficient, reduces the energy transfer, and thus improves the seismic performance of the structure. A buffer element is arranged on the inner side of the protection frame, which prevents the self-resetting wall from over-traveling and ensures that the linear viscoelastic device remains within the linear elastic range. This is particularly important for a self-resetting wall with a hinged connection, because if the linear viscoelastic device fails, the stability of the self-resetting wall will be threatened. The self-resetting wall is connected to the protection frame through an additional damping element, which can provide additional support and stability, ensuring that the self-resetting wall can be smoothly reset under the action of an earthquake.

The output end of the additional damping element is fixedly connected to the center of the self-resettling wall, and the fixed end is fixedly connected to the cross frame of the protection frame. The design of the output end being connected to the self-resettling wall helps to improve the stability and seismic resistance of the self-resettling wall.

[0014] Furthermore, the cross frame of the protection frame is located between the floor slabs of adjacent main structures, which can ensure that the self-resetting wall can be smoothly reset under the action of an earthquake while reducing the impact on the main structure. The cross frame of the protection frame with an additional damping element is adjacent to the floor slab of the main structure in which a linear viscoelastic device is arranged in the protection frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the two ends of the variable stiffness element are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the self-resettling wall and the floor slab of the main structure, the output end of the variable inertia element or the variable damping element is fixedly connected to one side of the self-resettling wall, and the fixed end is fixedly connected to the floor slab of the main structure. This design of connecting the output end to the self-resettling wall helps to improve the stability and seismic resistance of the self-resettling wall.

[0016] Furthermore, the variable inertia element is selected from a rack-flywheel inertia container, a ball screw inertia container, an electromagnetic damper or a fluid damper, which significantly enhances the inertia of the wall by generating a resistance proportional to the relative acceleration between the end points, and can adjust the inertia coefficient in real time according to the seismic response to optimize the performance of the tuned self-righting wall structure system, so that it can better adapt to different seismic actions and building structure requirements.

[0017] Furthermore, the variable stiffness element is selected from a spring or a magnetorheological elastomer, and can adjust the stiffness value in real time according to the earthquake response to optimize the performance of the tuned self-righting wall structure system, so that it can better adapt to different earthquake effects and building structure requirements.

[0018] Furthermore, the variable damping element is selected from an oil damper, an eddy current damper or a magnetorheological damper, and can adjust the damping coefficient in real time according to the seismic response to optimize the performance of the tuned self-righting wall structure system so that it can better adapt to different seismic actions and building structure requirements.

[0019] Furthermore, the buffer element is selected from a rubber buffer, a metal spring buffer or an air buffer, and the additional damping element is selected from a viscous damper or an air spring.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution, the shape, height and connection of the self-resetting wall can be adjusted according to the specific building structure and earthquake action to achieve the desired optimal control performance without significantly affecting the beauty and functionality of the building.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution, the connection position between the self-resetting wall and the floor slab of the main structure is selected according to the building structure characteristics and seismic requirements to achieve the best seismic toughness improvement effect.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution, the self-resetting wall is made of high-strength and high-toughness materials, and the high-strength and high-toughness materials are selected from steel, reinforced concrete, fiber-reinforced composite materials (FRP) or high-performance concrete to meet the requirements of earthquake resistance and self-resetting, and ensure sufficient strength and rigidity while maintaining appropriate mass to provide the required inertia effect.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution, the material of the protection frame is selected from steel, wood or concrete.
