Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of industrialized cities and towns and the growing demand for seismic performance of modern buildings, reducing the damage suffered by buildings under earthquakes and alleviating the loss of public life and property has become a top priority in contemporary engineering structure design.
[0003] At present, the seismic design of building structures generally adopts the method of increasing the structural damping or setting up isolation layers to reduce the energy input of the earthquake to the structure. Traditional buckling-resistance braces are mainly composed of internal core materials, external restraining members, unbonded expandable materials and unbonded sliding interfaces, and are connected between the beams and columns of the main structure. Under the action of strong earthquakes, the buckling-resistance braces produce plastic deformation, have good hysteretic energy absorption capacity and ductile deformation capacity, and can significantly reduce the degree of damage to the main structure under the action of earthquakes.
[0004] However, the current buckling-resistance brace components lack a systematic and effective design method, which makes it difficult for the buckling-resistance brace to play the expected energy dissipation and shock absorption role under strong earthquakes. Its function of protecting the main structure is difficult to achieve, and it is unable to effectively improve the seismic performance of the structure. Summary of the Invention

[0025]
[0026] S15. Calculate the cross-sectional area A1 of the buckling-restrained brace connection. The elastic connection of the buckling-restrained brace is always in an elastic working state, so its stress under the ultimate bearing capacity of the brace should be less than the yield strength of the steel f Y , from which the minimum cross-sectional area requirement of the buckling-restrained brace connection section can be determined:

If the following two equations are not satisfied, adjust the steel grade or modify the length of the connection section and recalculate the equivalent axial series stiffness K of the brace: e , until the following two requirements are met:
[0047]
[0048] S7. Verify the consistency between the yield displacement of the buckling restraint brace under the equivalent series stiffness and the actual yield displacement, and verify the ultimate deformation capacity of the buckling restraint brace. When verifying the ultimate deformation capacity of the buckling restraint brace, the maximum strain value of the energy dissipation section of the buckling restraint brace should not exceed 0.03 to ensure the stable performance of its hysteretic energy dissipation capacity. That is, the strain value of the buckling restraint brace under ultimate displacement should satisfy the following formula. If the following formula is not satisfied, reduce the length of the connecting section and re-calculate until the following formula is satisfied:
[0049]
[0050] Furthermore, the cross-section of the buckling-resistance support energy dissipation section is in the form of a "straight" or "cross" shape, and the thickness t c The value is 10mm~80mm; for the "I-shaped" section, the width of the energy dissipation section b c =β1t c , β1 takes a value of 10-20; for the "cross-shaped" section, the width of the energy dissipation section b c =β2t c , β2 takes a value of 5-10; calculate A according to the method of step S1 c Then, the cross-sectional width b of the corresponding buckling-resistance brace energy-absorbing section can be determined. c and thickness t c the value of η in step S1 is related to the steel grade, Q235 steel η is taken as 1.25, Q190 steel η is taken as 1.15, when the steel grade does not exceed 160, η is taken as 1.10.

[0115] At the same time, the present invention also discloses a computer system, which includes the above-mentioned design method and can be used to design a buckling-restrained brace directly based on mechanical performance parameters.
[0116] The effectiveness of this design method is further verified by combining the specific design process below:
[0117] Example 1
[0118] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the buckling-resistance brace energy-absorbing section is in the form of a "straight line":
[0119] In an actual engineering project, the mechanical performance parameters of the buckling-restrained brace provided by the structural engineer are shown in the following table:
[0120]
[0121] Step 1: Select Q355 steel to design the buckling-resistance support energy dissipation component, i.e. ff Y =335MPa. Then the cross-sectional area of the energy-absorbing section of the buckling-restrained brace is:
[0122]
[0123] Take the thickness of the energy dissipation section t c =20mm, then the width of the energy consumption section
[0124] Step 2: Under given design parameters, the yield displacement U of the buckling-restrained brace is Y =5.5mm, then the length of the energy-absorbing section of the buckling-resistance brace is:
[0125]
[0126] Step 3: The length of the transition section of the buckling-resistance brace is 4% of the total brace length, i.e.
[0127] L t =0.04×L=0.04×3500=140mm
[0128] Step 4: The length of the buckling-resistance brace connection section L1 is the total length of the brace L minus the length of the support energy dissipation section L calculated in step 2. c and subtract twice the transition length L calculated in step 3t ,Right now:
[0129]
[0130] Step 5: The connection section is always in the elastic working state under the elastic working state of the buckling restraint support. The stress under the ultimate bearing capacity of the support should be less than the yield strength f of the steel. Y , the minimum cross-sectional area of the buckling-restrained brace connection section is: The cross-sectional area A1 of the connecting section is 2.2 times the cross-sectional area A1 of the energy-consuming section, i.e. A1 = 13772 mm 2 , meeting A1>10563mm 2 requirements.
[0131] Step 6: According to the ultimate displacement U of the buckling restraint support max Calculate the length L of the restraining steel casing r The length of the restraining steel casing must ensure that the buckling restraint brace can move normally under the ultimate compression deformation and can still effectively restrain the energy dissipation section and transition section under the ultimate tensile deformation. The length of the restraining steel casing is:
[0132] L r =L-4×U max =3500-4×14.4=3442mm, round up to get L r =3400mm.
[0133] Step 7: The buckling restraint brace should not experience local instability during operation to ensure its stable hysteretic energy dissipation capacity. The wall thickness of the buckling restraint brace steel casing should not be too small, and the filling concrete strength grade should be C30. According to the local stability theory, the minimum wall thickness t of the buckling restraint brace steel casing is calculated. r :
[0134] Round up, i.e. take t r =3mm
[0135] Step 8: The buckling restraint brace should not show any overall instability during operation to ensure that it has sufficient stable bearing capacity and hysteretic energy dissipation capacity. Calculate the minimum width b of the buckling restraint brace steel casing according to Euler stability theory. r :
[0136]
[0137] When b r When the value is 370mm,
[0138] The calculation results meet the bending stiffness requirements.
[0139] Step 9: When the buckling restraint is subjected to an axial compressive load, the energy dissipation section will produce axial compression deformation. Due to the Poisson effect, it will also expand in the lateral direction. The space for this expansion deformation is provided by the non-bonded layer attached to the surface of the buckling restraint energy dissipation component. The thickness of the non-bonded material layer should not be too large, otherwise the buckling deformation curvature of the buckling restraint energy dissipation section will be large, thereby reducing the fatigue life of the buckling restraint. The thickness of the non-bonded material layer is:
[0140] Round up, i.e. take t m =1mm.
[0141] Step 10: Calculate the axial stiffness K of the buckling-resistance brace connection section, transition section, and energy dissipation l , K t , K c :
[0142] Step 11: Calculate the equivalent axial series stiffness K of the buckling-restrained brace according to the stiffness series principle e :
[0143]
[0144] Step 12: Verify whether the actual axial stiffness and yield displacement of the designed buckling-restrained brace are consistent with the given theoretical elastic stiffness and yield displacement, that is:
[0145]
[0146] Both are less than 5%, and the verification results meet the requirements.
[0147] Step 13: Verify the ultimate deformation capacity of the buckling restraint. The maximum strain value of the energy dissipation section of the buckling restraint should not exceed 0.03 to ensure the stable performance of its hysteretic energy dissipation capacity. That is, the strain value of the buckling restraint under the ultimate displacement should meet the following requirements:
[0148] The calculated result is less than 3%, and the verification result meets the requirements.
[0149] Verify the torsional stability of the extended connection section of the buckling restraint brace: The cross-sectional thickness of the buckling restraint brace connection section is t1 = t c =20mm, the free width of the connecting section The torsional local stability of the connection segment is verified according to the following formula:
[0150]
[0151] 8.35<10.58, the verification results meet the requirements and torsional instability will not occur.
[0152] Finally, based on the calculation results, the structural design diagram of the buckling-restrained brace is obtained as shown in Figure 1-7.
[0153] Example 2
[0154] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the buckling-resistance brace energy-absorbing section is a "cross-shaped" shape:
[0155] In an actual engineering project, the mechanical performance parameters of the buckling-restrained brace provided by the structural engineer are shown in the following table:
[0156]
[0157] Calculate the processing parameters of the buckling-restrained brace product according to the steps in the embodiment:
[0158] Step 1: Select Q235 steel to design the buckling-resistance support energy dissipation component, i.e. f Y =235MPa. Then the cross-sectional area of the energy-absorbing section of the buckling-restrained brace is:
[0159]
[0160] Take the thickness of the energy dissipation section t c =18mm, then the width of the energy consumption section
[0161] Step 2: Under given design parameters, the yield displacement U of the buckling-restrained brace is Y =5.7mm, then the length of the energy-absorbing section of the buckling-restrained brace is:
[0162]
[0163] Step 3: The length of the transition section of the buckling-resistance brace is 4% of the total brace length, i.e.
[0164] L t =0.04×L=0.04×4300=172mm
[0165] Step 4: The length of the buckling-resistance brace connection section L1 is the total length of the brace L minus the length of the support energy dissipation section L calculated in step 2. c and subtract twice the transition length L calculated in step 3 t ,Right now:
