TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building structure test equipment, and particularly relates to a fabricated cold-bent C-shaped steel lateral support and an approximate design method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the mechanical test of the truss structure, the truss is prone to out-of-plane instability during the stress process, especially when the truss length is large and the lateral constraint is insufficient.
[0003] At present, the existing test room often lacks a specially designed lateral fixing device, for example, document 1: Chen Shaofan, Out-of-plane stability of compression web members of trusses and support system, Engineering Mechanics (01) (1996) 16-25, which leads to a decrease in test accuracy and may even cause the test to fail due to instability. In addition, for example, documents 2 and 3: Li Rui, Huang Zhenghua, Huang Yong, Parametric analysis of out-of-plane stability bearing capacity of plane steel pipe truss arch, Journal of Guizhou University (Natural Science Edition) 30 (04) (2013) 94-97, the stability bearing capacity of the structure is significantly increased after considering the lateral support; and document 4: Guo Yanlin, Dou Chao, Elastic stability performance and support stiffness design of I-shaped cross-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 requirement, the lateral displacement of the section at the support point will be completely constrained when out-of-plane buckling occurs, ensuring the complete mechanical test of the truss structure.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a support that is stable in structure, easy to install and flexible to adjust. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem of out-of-plane instability in the existing truss test, provide a fabricated cold-bent C-shaped steel lateral support and an approximate design method, enhance the lateral stability of the support by designing a cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing component and a support main structure, provide stable lateral support for the truss, effectively prevent the truss from producing out-of-plane instability during the stress test, and ensure the accuracy of the truss stress and the safety of the test through the support displacement calculation in the design method.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the following technical scheme is adopted in the present application: an approximate design method of a fabricated cold-bent C-shaped steel lateral support, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1, a cold-bent C-shaped steel support system is constructed:
[0008] First, the concave sides of three C-shaped cross-section cold-bent steels are connected in sequence to form a cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing component, and the connection end points are fixed by self-tapping screws;
[0009] The plurality of cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing components are spliced to form two support bodies of a multi-layer left-right symmetrical structure, and the two support bodies are both large triangles with right-angle edges inward;
[0010] A C-shaped section cold-bent steel is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the upper half of each of the two support bodies, and a tension bolt is connected between the two C-shaped section cold-bent steels;
[0011] A cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing component with a right-angle edge inward is vertically fixed to the inner side front and rear end face of the lower half of each of the two support bodies, the cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing component and the support body are fixedly connected through an L-shaped steel plate, and a tension bolt is further connected between the inner side walls of the lower half of the two support bodies;
[0012] S2, calculate the equivalent moment of inertia of the variable cross-section cantilever beam:
[0013] Based on the cold-bent C-shaped steel lateral support constructed above, for a rectangular cross-section, the moment of inertia
[0014] Divide the cross-section into four segments, and the upper equivalent moment of inertia is:
[0015] In the formula, I eq上 is the upper equivalent moment of inertia, b is the cross-sectional width, h is the length of the bottom edge, and I x is the moment of inertia of each segment;
[0016] For the lower trapezoidal support spliced by three cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing components (7), the lower equivalent moment of inertia is:
[0017] In the formula, I eq下 is the lower equivalent moment of inertia;
[0018] After calculation, the final I eq下 ≈18I eq上 ;
[0019] S3, calculate the support displacement to determine whether it meets the limit value:
[0020] For an equal cross-section beam, the moment of inertia I is a constant, and the moment of inertia of the equal cross-section is converted into the moment of inertia of the variable cross-section, wherein for an equal cross-section cantilever component, the deflection calculation integral formula is:
[0021]
[0022] For a variable cross-section, the deflection calculation integral formula is:
[0023]
[0024] Suppose 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] In the formula, H is the length of the longer vertical section of the cold-rolled C-shaped steel spliced triangular member (7) ; M p (x) and are the bending moments at the section height x of the variable cross-section column under the action of the actual and imaginary concentrated loads respectively; I(x) is the moment of inertia at the section height x, E is the elastic modulus of the material, Δ0 is the displacement of the support, Δ max is the maximum lateral displacement of the truss given by the tester;
[0027] To ensure the lateral resistance of the support, it is necessary to ensure that Δ0≤Δ max According to the truss test, the lateral force P that may occur is given by the tester, combined with the lateral displacement limit Δ max , so as to adjust the height / width of the cold-rolled C-shaped steel spliced triangular member or the section size of the corresponding C-shaped section cold-formed steel according to the calculation result;
[0028] In the step S3, the elastic modulus E of the C-shaped section cold-formed steel is 2.06 GPa, and the value of Δ max is taken
[0029] The application also discloses a fabricated cold-rolled C-shaped steel lateral support designed by the approximate design method.
[0030] The support body structure comprises two support bodies, and the two support bodies are both large triangles with inward right-angle edges, and are multi-layer left-right symmetrical structures composed of a plurality of cold-rolled C-shaped steel triangular spliced members.
[0031] The upper and lower inner side walls of the two support bodies are both provided with the transverse connecting members, and the transverse connecting members are tension bolts.
[0032] The inner front and rear end faces of the lower half of the two support bodies are both vertically fixed with an auxiliary support member, and the auxiliary support member is a cold-rolled C-shaped steel triangular spliced member with an inward right-angle edge.
[0033] Furthermore, a C-shaped cold-formed steel section with a concave side punch is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the upper half of each of the two support bodies, and the two C-shaped cold-formed steel sections are connected to each other by tie bolts.
[0034] Furthermore, bolt holes are provided on both the C-shaped cold-formed steel and the L-shaped steel plate, and high-strength bolts are used to fix the support body and the interior of the cold-formed C-shaped steel triangular splice member, as well as the support body and the L-shaped steel plate, through the bolt holes.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0036] 1) In this invention, the lateral stability of the support is enhanced by designing the cold-formed C-shaped steel triangular splice members and the main structure of the support. This provides stable lateral support for the truss, effectively preventing out-of-plane instability of the truss during the stress test. Furthermore, the support displacement verification in the design method ensures the accuracy of the truss stress and the safety of the test.
[0037] 2) In the support domain of the present invention, multiple cold-formed C-shaped steel triangular splicing members are connected by bolts to form a continuous support system, ensuring that the truss structure does not experience out-of-plane instability during the test; by inserting transverse connecting members between the cold-formed C-shaped steel triangular splicing members and by arranging auxiliary support members, the lateral stability of the support is enhanced, so that each part of the truss is stably fixed through the support system during the test.
[0038] 3) The support of the present invention adopts an assembled design, and all components are modular. On-site installation only requires bolt connection, without complicated welding operations, which greatly improves installation efficiency. The support height and connection position can be flexibly adjusted according to the truss test requirements, which is highly adaptable and can be applied to different test scenarios.
[0039] 4) The cold-formed C-shaped steel material used in this invention gives the support high strength and rigidity, while the design of the transverse connecting components and auxiliary support components greatly improves the stability of the overall structure; the standardized production and prefabricated design of cold-formed C-shaped steel reduces manufacturing and construction costs, and has good economic benefits.

[0051] 2) Lateral connecting components: These are installed between the main bodies of the supports to connect the supports on the left and right sides into a whole, thereby enhancing the rigidity of the overall structure and preventing the supports from shifting laterally when under stress.
[0052] 3) Auxiliary support member: located on the side of the support body, using cold-bent C-shaped steel triangular splicing arrangement, by increasing the lateral support, improving the overall lateral force performance, to ensure that the support can work stably in the test.
[0053] 4) Bottom fixing member: the bottom of the support is designed with an L-shaped steel plate for connecting the support body and the auxiliary support member, which is connected by high-strength bolts to further enhance the stability of the support.
[0054] 5) Adjustable height design: the connection position of the main member and the auxiliary support member of the support can be adjusted, which can flexibly change the height of the support by adjusting the mounting hole position of the member, and adapt to different types and specifications of truss test requirements.

[0062] S2, calculate the equivalent moment of inertia of the variable cross-section cantilever beam:
[0063] Based on the cold-formed C-shaped steel lateral support constructed above, for a rectangular section, its moment of inertia
[0064] The section is equally divided into 4 segments, and the upper equivalent moment of inertia is:
[0065] The lower equivalent moment of inertia is: I eq下 = 18I eq上 = 261818189.

[0067] The concentrated load P = 2kN, and the displacement of the top of the support is:
[0068]
[0069] Therefore, the designed lateral support displacement meets the requirements of the truss test.
