AI Technical Summary
The existing energy dissipator connecting members will produce axial deformation when transmitting axial load, resulting in poor deformation effect of the energy dissipator. At the same time, increasing the cross-sectional area of the connecting member for concentrated deformation will increase the amount of steel used and shock absorption costs.
A connecting structure is adopted that is filled with concrete inside the steel pipe and equipped with prestressed steel bars. Through the tensioning of the prestressed steel bars and the filling of concrete, the axial stiffness and tensile strength of the connector are improved, so that the axial deformation is distributed more to the energy dispenser.
While ensuring the same axial stiffness, the amount of steel is saved, the cost is greatly reduced, the axial stability and tensile strength of the connector are improved, and the energy consumption effect of the energy dissipation device is enhanced.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building structure engineering, and in particular to an axial metal damper connection structure and a connection method. Background Art
[0002] Energy dissipation and shock absorption technology, as a new technology for building structures to cope with earthquake disasters, has been increasingly used, especially in civil buildings.
[0003] By installing energy dissipators in buildings, when the building is subjected to earthquakes, the internal energy dissipators can enter the energy dissipation state before the main structure, absorb earthquake energy, and thus protect the main structure. Common energy dissipator connection methods mainly include wall-type connection, upper support-type connection, and single-slant brace axial connection. Among them, the single-slant brace axial connection is that one end of the energy dissipator is connected to the main structure, the other end is axially connected to the connecting member (steel support or other type of support), and then one end of the connecting member is connected to the main structure. This type of axial connection is the most direct way to transmit force, and it is an effective connection method that gives full play to the deformation and energy dissipation performance of the energy dissipator.
[0004] However, this type of connection component currently mainly uses square steel pipes or other steel components, which will also produce a certain axial deformation when transmitting the axial load of the energy dissipator, so that the deformation of the energy dissipator cannot be more effectively exerted. In addition, increasing the cross-section of the connection component can more effectively concentrate the axial deformation on the energy dissipator and give full play to the energy dissipation effect of the energy dissipator. However, increasing the cross-sectional area of the connection component means increasing the amount of steel used, increasing the cost of shock absorption, and reducing the economic efficiency of the building. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an axial metal damper connection structure and connection method, which improves the overall axial stiffness of the connection component and distributes more axial deformation to the energy dissipator. Compared with connecting components made of pure steel, it can save steel and greatly reduce costs under the same axial stiffness. Prestressed steel bars are provided in the steel pipe filled with concrete, which can avoid the problem of insufficient axial tensile strength of concrete and improve the overall tensile strength of the connection component.
[0006] The present invention is implemented as follows: an axial metal damper connection structure includes an energy dissipator and a connecting piece, wherein the energy dissipator is an axial energy dissipator, one end of the energy dissipator is connected to a node of a main structure, and the other end is connected to the connecting piece;
[0007] The connecting parts include a steel pipe, an edge sealing plate, a connecting head, prestressed steel bars and nuts. The edge sealing plates are respectively arranged at both ends of the steel pipe. One side of the edge sealing plate on the energy dissipator side is connected to the energy dissipator, and the other side is connected to one end of the steel pipe; one side of the edge sealing plate on the connecting head side is connected to the connecting head, and one side is connected to the other end of the steel pipe; the steel pipe is filled with concrete, the prestressed steel bars are located in the steel pipe, and both ends of the prestressed steel bars are engraved with threads, and the two ends of the prestressed steel bars are respectively passed through the corresponding edge sealing plates and connected to the nuts.
[0008] In the above technical solution, preferably, a plurality of prestressed steel bars are provided in the steel pipe, and the prestressed steel bars are arranged along the length direction of the steel pipe and close to the inner periphery of the steel pipe.
[0009] In the above technical solution, preferably, the cross-sectional area of the steel pipe satisfies the following formula:
[0010]
[0011] Among them, A1 is the cross-sectional area of the steel pipe, in mm 2 ;

[0017] In the above technical solution, preferably, a hole is opened on one side of the middle position of the steel pipe.
[0018] In the above technical solution, preferably, the connection structure further includes an energy dissipator stiffening plate, and the energy dissipator stiffening plate is arranged at the connection position between the energy dissipator and the connecting piece.
[0019] In the above technical solution, it is further preferred that the energy dissipator stiffening plate is a triangular steel plate.
[0020] In the above technical solution, preferably, the connecting head is a cross-shaped steel.
[0021] In the above technical solution, preferably, the energy dissipation type of the energy dissipation device is a viscous energy dissipation type, a metal yield type, a friction type or other axial energy dissipation type of energy dissipation device.
[0022] A method for connecting an axial metal damper comprises the following steps:
[0023] The edge sealing plate on the energy dissipator side is connected and fixed to one end of the steel pipe through a fillet weld, the edge sealing plate on the connector side is welded and fixed to the other end of the steel pipe, and an expansion joint is reserved between the edge sealing plate on the connector side and the outer periphery of the steel pipe, and the expansion joint is sealed with a flexible filling material;
[0024] Multiple prestressed steel bars are arranged along the length of the steel pipe and near the inner periphery of the steel pipe. Both ends of the prestressed steel bars pass through the edge sealing plates, and the two ends of the prestressed steel bars are tensioned by tensioning equipment to put them in a pre-tightened state.
