Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of structural vibration reduction, and in particular to a detachable prestressed self-resetting viscous damping wall. Background Art

[0002] Recent earthquake damage has demonstrated that excessive residual deformation is a key factor in the functional failure of concrete frames. Self-righting technology can significantly suppress residual deformation and prevent structural failure. Improving the applicability and effectiveness of self-righting systems is crucial for enhancing the seismic resilience of concrete frames. Traditional displacement-dependent dampers conflict with self-righting systems, making it difficult to decouple the added damping and prestressing of the structure.

[0003] The damping effect of a viscous damping wall exhibits significant velocity dependence. Viscous damping walls only generate damping forces under dynamic conditions and have little effect on the structure under static conditions. This characteristic can be exploited to decouple the design of added damping from the prestressed system. Traditional viscous damping walls primarily consist of an outer steel box, shear plates, and a viscous damping fluid within the outer steel box. Under earthquake action, the structure experiences inter-story displacement, and the shear plates and the viscous damping fluid within the outer steel box shear, generating viscous damping forces and dissipating seismic energy. However, post-earthquake repair or removal costs are prohibitive. Therefore, the development of a prefabricated, detachable, and self-resetting viscous damping wall is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a detachable prestressed self-resetting viscous damping wall, which adopts a modular damping wall configuration, has ample internal space, clearly divided functional modules, is easy to install between structural layers, and has good compatibility with various types of structures, especially frame structures. While providing good shock absorption effect, it realizes self-resetting of structures or components.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0006] A detachable prestressed self-resetting viscous damping wall comprises an outer steel box, an upper shear plate and a prestressed system. The outer steel box comprises a lower connecting plate, a lower damping steel box and an upper steel box. The lower damping steel box is filled with a viscous damping fluid.

[0007] The upper shear plate includes an upper connecting plate and a shear plate, and the lower portion of the shear plate is inserted into the viscous damping fluid;

[0008] The prestressed system includes an anchor plate, a prestressed spring and an anchor head.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the lower damping steel box is L-shaped, and bolt holes are opened on both sides of the flange.

[0010] Preferably, the upper steel box is L-shaped, with the web width smaller than the flange width, and bolt holes are opened on both sides of the flange, the positions of which correspond to the bolt holes on the flange of the lower damping steel box. The upper steel box and the lower damping steel box are connected by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the bolts are high-strength bolts.

[0012] Preferably, several groups of external ribs are provided inside the upper steel box, each group includes two ribs, and the external ribs can be arranged in two groups, four groups, six groups, etc. to adapt to different prestressed design conditions.

[0013] Preferably, several groups of inner ribs are provided on both sides of the upper portion of the shear plate, each group comprising two ribs, and the distance between the two inner ribs in each group is smaller than the distance between the two outer ribs, and the inner ribs are inserted into each group of outer ribs of the upper steel box to achieve horizontal free movement of the upper shear plate.

[0014] Preferably, the anchor plate is U-shaped, and when installed, the flanges at both ends are respectively located on the outside of each group of outer ribs to limit the vertical movement of the anchor plate.

[0015] Preferably, a circular hole is opened at the center of the web of the anchor plate.

[0016] Preferably, the prestressed spring is located at the center of each group of inner ribs, that is, at the circular hole of the anchor plate web. After being tensioned, the prestressed spring passes through the central circular hole of the anchor plate web and is fixed by the anchor head to achieve prestressing.

[0017] The present invention can be divided into a lower viscous damping zone and an upper prestressed stress generating zone according to its function, thus achieving the decoupling of additional damping and prestressing. Specifically, the lower viscous damping zone utilizes the damping force formed by the shear plate and the viscous damping fluid to participate in the structural energy dissipation. The upper prestressed stress generating zone adopts a prestressed spring and a multi-cavity structure. The shear plate and the upper steel box form a cavity through a group of ribs, and a prestressed spring is arranged in the cavity. After the spring is tensioned to the specified load, it is fixed to the end of the anchor plate. Under the action of an earthquake, the inner and outer cavities shift with the deformation of the interlayer, and the prestressed spring will force the two to return to their initial shape, thereby producing a self-resetting effect.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] (1) The present invention is assembled from several modules, has the characteristics of assembly and disassembly, is easy to install, and can be quickly replaced and repaired after an earthquake.

[0020] (2) The present invention realizes the decoupling of additional damping and prestressing. The lower viscous damping zone provides additional energy dissipation, and the upper prestressing generating zone provides a self-resetting effect, thereby eliminating the residual deformation of the structure after earthquake.
