Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a buckling-resistant steel plate shear wall restrained by a beam string flexural member, belonging to the technical field of structural engineering. Background Art
[0002] As a core lateral force-resistant and energy-dissipating member of building structures, the steel plate shear wall is widely used in high-rise buildings and building projects in high-intensity seismic regions due to its high bearing capacity, excellent ductility and construction convenience. The traditional steel plate shear wall relies on thin steel plates to bear shear force, and the economic benefit is remarkable. However, it is prone to premature out-of-plane buckling under shear loads, resulting in the degradation of structural stiffness, energy dissipation and fatigue damage. The stiffened steel plate shear wall improves the buckling performance by adding stiffening ribs outside the plane of the steel plate. However, the welding process of the buckling-resistant components of the wall panel is complex, and the problems of residual stress and residual deformation caused by welding are significant, and the steel consumption of the structure is high. The buckling-resistant steel plate shear wall forms an integral body by connecting the steel plate and the buckling-resistant component with bolts, and uses the large out-of-plane restraint stiffness of the buckling-resistant component to limit the out-of-plane buckling deformation of the steel plate, improving the out-of-plane deformation while enhancing the bearing capacity and energy dissipation capacity, thus well overcoming the problems of premature buckling of traditional unstiffened steel plate walls and high steel consumption and complex structure of stiffened steel plate walls. However, the existing buckling-resistant concrete cover plates are large in size and heavy in self-weight. At the same time, due to the requirements of flexural bearing performance and crack control, dense connecting bolts often need to be arranged on the cover plates, which requires high precision in processing and manufacturing, and a large number of bolt tightening professionals are needed on site, greatly reducing the efficiency of engineering manufacturing and installation. It can be seen that reducing the volume and self-weight of the buckling-resistant component, improving the flexural performance of the buckling-resistant component, simplifying the connection structure and facilitating on-site installation are the key problems that need to be solved urgently in the steel plate shear wall structure.
[0003] The beam string flexural member has received wide attention due to its self-balancing mechanism, large-span lightweight performance and stability enhancement characteristics. This type of member consists of a rigid upper chord member (steel truss, box girder or concrete arch), a flexible lower chord cable and a strut, and forms a self-balanced force system through prestress. The rigid upper chord member bears bending moment and pressure, and the lower chord cable applies prestress through the end anchorage node. Cooperating with the vertical strut, the structural load is converted into cable tension, so that the cable tension and the bending deformation of the flexural rigid member restrict each other, realizing internal force redistribution and deformation control. In view of the working mechanism of the beam string flexural member, it is often used to realize the design of large-span unsupported roofs and floor slabs. The high flexural efficiency of the beam string flexural member is very suitable for application in the buckling-resistant steel plate shear wall, as a restraint member to limit the out-of-plane buckling of the steel plate, improving the bearing and seismic performance of the wall panel. Summary of the Invention

A portal reinforcement is fixed on the cable stay support rod. Still further, the opening annular plate of the transition connector is inserted into the angle steel base, so that the opening annular plate is aligned with the bolt round hole of the angle steel base, and bolts are inserted and fixed, so that the transition connector can rotate around the angle steel base.
[0022] Further, the restraint angle steel is formed by facing the long limbs of two L-shaped steels to form a symmetric section. A gap is left between the butting interfaces of the L-shaped steels, and a plurality of cable stay support rods with unequal lengths are arranged at equal intervals in the gap, and the contact surfaces of the cable stay support rods and the restraint angle steel are connected by welding. The height of the cable stay support rod gradually increases from the edge to the middle.
[0023] Further, the cable stay support rod can be made of round steel, ribbed steel bars, or hollow round tubes. The arrangement of the cable stay support rods can be 1 to 9.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the main advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0028] A buckling-restrained steel plate shear wall structure with a cable-strut bending-resistant member restraint and its construction method of the present invention form a new lateral resistance system with rigid-flexible cooperation by combining a cable-strut bending-resistant member with a traditional steel plate shear wall. The rigid upper chord member bears the bending moment and pressure. The high-strength cable realizes the conversion of the load into the cable force through the prestress application and the cooperation with the vertical strut, promotes the mutual restriction between the cable tension and the bending and deformation of the rigid member, and completes the internal force redistribution and precise deformation control. This system combines the high bending stiffness of the rigid member and the elastic adjustment ability of the flexible cable, significantly improves the overall structural stiffness and stability, and at the same time enables the steel plate to enter the shear yield stage first, giving full play to the material strength, and the lateral resistance bearing capacity is significantly improved compared with the traditional structure. Adopting the modular assembly technology with all-bolt connections, the cable-strut bending-resistant restraint member is directly installed through the fishplate node without opening holes in the steel plate, greatly improving the construction efficiency. The lightweight design of the member takes into account the adaptability to large spans, the weight of a single piece during transportation is controllable, and it meets the hoisting requirements of conventional construction equipment. A higher prefabrication rate in the factory can effectively avoid the problems of traditional welding processes. Only quick assembly is required on-site, which perfectly fits the industrialized construction trend of prefabricated buildings, highlighting the advantages of construction convenience and assembly. Introducing a dynamic restraint system between the long-slot sliding mechanism and the cable, the long slots of the L-shaped angle steel base allow the member to have limited slip during an earthquake, dissipating seismic energy through friction. The elastic deformation of the cable is coupled with the plastic deformation of the steel plate to form a "elastic restraint - plastic energy dissipation - friction energy dissipation" gradient mechanism, making the hysteresis curve more plump and improving the energy dissipation efficiency; in addition, the cable provides high-strength restraint to ensure the overall stability of the structure under large earthquakes.
[0029] Compared with traditional building structures, the damage of the present invention after an earthquake is concentrated on the replaceable energy-dissipating steel plate. During maintenance, there is no need to demolish the concrete or add temporary supports, shortening the replacement cycle. In addition, the lightweight design can effectively reduce the foundation cost, the modular components can be reused, the carbon emissions in the whole life cycle of the building are reduced, and the construction cost is comparable to that of the traditional system. However, with the characteristics of maintenance-free and easy repair, the comprehensive benefits in the whole life cycle are greater, combining economy and environmental friendliness.
[0030] The structure of the present invention includes an edge frame, a fishplate welded to the frame, an embedded steel plate fixed on the fishplate, and a cable-strut flexural restraint member connected to the fishplate by bolts. The restraint members are symmetrically arranged on the front and back sides of the embedded steel plate, and are composed of a cable support, a restraint angle steel, a cable support rod and a pre-tensioned cable. By working together, they limit the out-of-plane buckling of the steel plate, improving the lateral load-bearing capacity and seismic performance. The present invention adopts a modular assembly technology with all-bolt connections, eliminating the need for drilling holes in the steel plate and simplifying the construction process. The long slotted holes in the restraint members allow limited slippage during earthquakes, combining the elastic restraint of the cables and the plastic energy dissipation of the steel plate to form a multi-level seismic mechanism. Its lightweight design reduces the steel consumption, and the prefabricated components are convenient for transportation and rapid on-site installation. Moreover, the post-earthquake damage is concentrated on the replaceable steel plate, resulting in low maintenance costs. This structure combines high stiffness, strong energy dissipation, convenient assembly and environmental friendliness, and is suitable for high-rise buildings and projects in high-intensity seismic areas.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, the cable - strut flexural restraint member 4 can be directly processed and fabricated in the factory. The restraint angle steel 5 - 3 is formed by butt - facing the long limbs of two L - shaped steels to form a symmetric cross - section. There is a gap between the butt - facing interfaces, and a number of stay - cable support rods 5 - 4 with different lengths are arranged at equal intervals within the gap. The contact surface between the stay - cable support rod 5 - 4 and the restraint angle steel 5 - 3 is connected by welding, and the height of the stay - cable support rod 5 - 4 gradually increases from the edge to the middle.
