Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of building structure testing equipment, and in particular relates to an assembled cold-bent C-shaped steel lateral support and an approximate design method. Background Art

[0002] In the mechanical test of truss structure, the truss is prone to out-of-plane instability when subjected to force, especially when the truss is long and the lateral constraint is insufficient, this problem is particularly serious.

[0003] At present, there is often a lack of specially designed lateral fixing equipment in existing laboratories, such as Reference 1: Chen Shaofan, Out-of-plane stability and support system of truss compression web, Engineering Mechanics (01) (1996) 16-25, which will lead to reduced test accuracy and even failure of the test due to instability. In addition, for example, References 2 and 3: Li Rui, Huang Zhenghua, Huang Yong, Parametric analysis of out-of-plane stability bearing capacity of plane steel tube truss arch, Journal of Guizhou University (Natural Science Edition) 30 (04) (2013) 94-97, after considering lateral support, the stability bearing capacity of the structure is significantly increased; and Reference 4: Guo Yanlin, Dou Chao, Elastic stability performance and support stiffness design of I-section circular arc steel arch with out-of-plane support, Journal of Building Structures 33 (07) (2012) 37-45, when the lateral support stiffness meets the support threshold stiffness requirements, the lateral displacement of the section at the support point will be fully constrained when out-of-plane buckling occurs, ensuring that the mechanical test of the truss structure is carried out completely.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a support that is structurally stable, easy to install and flexibly adjustable. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of out-of-plane instability in existing truss tests, and to provide an assembled cold-bent C-shaped steel lateral support and an approximate design method. By designing cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing components and a support main structure, the lateral stability of the support is enhanced, and stable lateral support can be provided for the truss. The out-of-plane instability of the truss can be effectively prevented during a stress test, and the accuracy of the truss stress and the safety of the test can be ensured through the support displacement verification in the design method.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an approximate design method for an assembled cold-formed C-shaped steel lateral support, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Use cold-bent C-shaped steel to construct the support system:

[0008] First, the concave side punches of three C-section cold-formed steels are connected in sequence to form a cold-formed C-section steel triangular splicing component, and the connection ends are fixed by self-tapping screws;

[0009] A plurality of cold-formed C-shaped steel triangular splicing components are spliced ​​together to form two support bodies of a multi-layer bilaterally symmetrical structure, and both support bodies are large triangular structures with right-angle sides facing inwards;

[0010] A piece of C-section cold-formed steel in a concave side punch is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the upper half of the two support bodies, and tension bolts are connected between the two C-section cold-formed steels;

[0011] A cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing member with a right-angle side facing inward is vertically fixed on the inner front and rear end surfaces of the lower halves of the two support bodies. The cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing member is fixedly connected to the support body through an L-shaped steel plate, and tension bolts are also connected between the inner side walls of the lower halves of the two support bodies.

[0012] S2. Calculate the equivalent moment of inertia of the variable cross-section cantilever beam:

[0013] Based on the above-mentioned cold-formed C-shaped steel lateral support, for a rectangular section, its moment of inertia is

[0014] The cross section is divided into 4 equal sections, and the equivalent moment of inertia of the upper section is:

[0015] In the formula, I eq上 is the equivalent moment of inertia of the upper part, b is the cross-sectional width, h is the length of the bottom side, I x is the moment of inertia of each equally divided segment;

[0016] For a trapezoidal support whose lower part is composed of three cold-formed C-shaped steel triangular splicing members (7), the equivalent moment of inertia of the lower part is:

[0017] In the formula, I eq下 is the equivalent moment of inertia of the lower part;

[0018] After calculation, we finally get I eq下 ≈18I eq上 ;

[0019] S3. Calculate the displacement of the bearing to determine whether it meets the limit value:

[0020] For a beam with a uniform cross-section, the moment of inertia I is a constant. The moment of inertia of a uniform cross-section is converted into the moment of inertia of a variable cross-section. For a cantilever member with a uniform cross-section, the integral formula for calculating the deflection is:

[0021]

[0022] For variable cross-sections, the integral formula for calculating deflection is:

[0023]

[0024] Assuming that the top of the support is subjected to a concentrated force P, according to the simplification in step S2, the displacement of the top of the support is:

[0025]

[0026] Where H is the length of the longer vertical section of the cold-formed C-shaped steel triangular member (7); M p (x) and are the bending moments at the height x of the variable cross-section column under real and imaginary concentrated loads, respectively; I(x) is the moment of inertia at the height x of the section, E is the elastic modulus of the material, Δ0 is the support displacement, Δ max is the maximum lateral displacement of the truss given by the tester;

[0027] To ensure the lateral resistance of the bearing, it is necessary to ensure that Δ0≤Δ max ; According to the truss test conducted, the tester gives the possible lateral force P and the outer lateral displacement limit Δ max , so as to adjust the height / width of the constructed cold-formed C-shaped steel spliced ​​triangular member or the cross-sectional size of the corresponding C-section cold-formed steel according to the calculation results;

[0028] In step S3, the elastic modulus of the C-section cold-formed steel is E=2.06 GPa, Δ max The value of

[0029] The present invention also discloses an assembled cold-bent C-shaped steel lateral support designed by the above-mentioned approximate design method, wherein the cold-bent C-shaped steel lateral support is composed of a support main structure, a transverse connecting member, an auxiliary supporting member and a bottom fixing member;

[0030] The support main body structure includes two support bodies, and both support bodies are large triangular structures with right-angled sides facing inwards. The two support bodies are multi-layer left-right symmetrical structures formed by splicing a plurality of cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing components, wherein the cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing components are composed of three C-section cold-bent steel concave side punches connected in sequence, and the connection end points are connected and fixed by self-tapping screws;

[0031] The transverse connecting member is arranged between the upper and lower inner side walls of the two support bodies, and the transverse connecting member adopts tension bolts;

[0032] An auxiliary support member is vertically fixed on the inner front and rear end surfaces of the lower halves of the two support bodies. The auxiliary support member is a cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing member with right-angled sides facing inward. The cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing member is fixedly connected to the support body by a bottom fixing piece, and the bottom fixing piece is an L-shaped steel plate.

[0033] Furthermore, a piece of C-section cold-bent steel in a concave side punch is fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the upper halves of the two support bodies, and the two C-section cold-bent steels are connected with tension bolts.

[0034] Furthermore, bolt holes are provided on the C-section cold-bent steel and the L-shaped steel plate, and the support body and the inside of the cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing component and the support body and the L-shaped steel plate are fixed by connecting high-strength bolts through the bolt holes.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
