Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of building structure engineering, and in particular relates to a prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall and a design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Earthquake resistance is one of the key performance characteristics that need to be considered in building structures. Ordinary reinforced concrete structures can no longer meet earthquake resistance requirements, especially those of multi-story buildings. Under normal use and small earthquakes, ordinary reinforced concrete structures rely on ordinary steel bars and masonry to work together, but the brittle characteristics of masonry materials can easily cause walls to crack, and the cracks are difficult to control, which not only affects the durability of the structure, but may also cause functional problems such as leakage. During moderate and large earthquakes, although ordinary reinforced concrete structures can dissipate part of the seismic energy through plastic deformation, the residual deformation after the wall is damaged is large, and it is difficult to self-reset, resulting in degradation of stiffness and bearing capacity, and may even cause the risk of progressive collapse due to accumulated damage.

[0003] In the multi-story building sector, reinforced masonry shear wall structures are widely used due to their excellent load-bearing capacity, convenient construction, and economical construction costs. They have become a common form of civil construction, including residential and office buildings. However, traditional reinforced masonry shear walls have inherent shortcomings in terms of seismic performance, which limits their adoption in earthquake-prone areas. Due to performance limitations, traditional reinforced masonry shear walls require a large amount of steel for seismic design, which increases material costs and construction difficulty, contrary to the green and low-carbon development trend of the industry.

[0004] Existing earthquake-resistant design methods also have technical challenges. Current standards primarily ensure safety through measures such as limiting building heights and aspect ratios, installing seismic joints, and increasing material strength. However, these measures fail to fundamentally address the brittle failure of masonry structures, and post-earthquake repairs are costly and time-consuming.

[0005] With the advancement of urbanization and the improvement of seismic fortification standards, the seismic safety requirements for masonry buildings are becoming increasingly stringent. Particularly in earthquake-prone areas, the post-earthquake residual deformation and difficulty in repairing traditional reinforced masonry shear walls have hindered their widespread adoption. The construction industry urgently needs to reduce steel consumption and improve construction efficiency. Against this backdrop, the development of new reinforced masonry shear wall structures that combine excellent load-bearing capacity, seismic performance, and economic advantages has become a key approach to addressing the seismic challenges of multi-story masonry buildings and promoting the development of green buildings. Summary of the Invention

Especially, the reciprocating load under the action of earthquake will lead to prestress loss and wall stiffness degradation, and the existing design method based on the prestress theory of concrete structure is difficult to be directly applied to the reinforced masonry shear wall structure. How to realize the cooperative work of prestressed reinforcement and masonry and meet the differentiated design under different seismic actions is still a problem in the industry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0030] In a first aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a design method of a prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall suitable for a multi-story shear wall structure, comprising the following steps: S1. According to the importance of the building, the core use function and the seismic fortification intensity of the region, etc., the seismic performance target of the shear wall is accurately determined, and the appropriate seismic performance level is set.

[0031] The seismic performance target can be divided into multiple levels. Under the action of small earthquakes, the shear wall remains in an elastic state, and the inter-story drift angle is strictly controlled within the limit value range specified in the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings. The inter-story drift angle of multi-story masonry structures is generally not greater than 1 / 1000. Under the action of moderate earthquakes, the wall may have slight plastic deformation, but the damage is controlled within the repairable range, such as a crack width of <0.2 mm, and does not affect the integrity of the structure. The structure needs to maintain overall stability to avoid local collapse. Under the action of strong earthquakes, the wall may have obvious plastic deformation to dissipate seismic energy, but the overall structure needs to avoid collapse, and the key load-bearing parts need to maintain load-carrying capacity.

[0032] S2. Based on the determined seismic performance target and seismic performance level, the structure is designed in combination with the architectural construction drawings to determine the design parameters and arrangement scheme of the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall.

[0033] The specific process is as follows. First, the key dimensions of the wall, such as length, height, and thickness, are preliminarily determined. The setting of wall dimensions needs to consider three factors: first, the architectural space use requirements to avoid unreasonable compression of internal use space due to wall dimensions; second, the structural stress characteristics to ensure that the wall can effectively transfer and disperse loads; and third, the matching of block specifications to coordinate the wall dimensions with the block module and reduce on-site cutting operations. Then, the type and strength grade of the block, such as concrete hollow block or aerated concrete block, are determined, and the appropriate core concrete mix proportion is selected. At the same time, based on the structural stress calculation of the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall, the specifications, quantities, and arrangement positions of the structural steel and prestressed steel are preliminarily determined. Based on the stress analysis of the wall, the vertical and horizontal arrangement methods of the structural steel in the wall, the arrangement of the prestressed steel in the key parts, and the planning of the prestressed steel tensioning method, such as pretensioning or post-tensioning, are determined to ensure that the prestress can effectively play a role.

[0034] S3. Based on the selected design parameters and arrangement scheme of the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall, the bearing capacity calculation under multiple load combinations is carried out. The calculation needs to cover different combinations of vertical loads (such as structural self-weight, floor live load, etc.) and horizontal loads (such as wind load, seismic load, etc.). According to relevant building structure design standards such as the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings and the Code for Design of Masonry Structures, the compressive and shear bearing capacities of the wall are calculated in detail to ensure that the wall has sufficient bearing capacity under the design load. If the calculation does not meet the preset bearing capacity requirements, the design parameters need to be adjusted, which can be done by increasing the number of load-bearing steel or prestressed steel, optimizing the size parameters of the wall length, height, and thickness, replacing higher strength grade steel types, or adjusting the prestressed tension control stress, etc. After adjustment, the bearing capacity calculation process is executed again until the results meet the design requirements.

[0035] S4. Calculate the bearing capacity of the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall under normal use conditions and small earthquake action to meet the requirements of normal use and use under small earthquake action.

[0036] The calculation needs to consider the vertical loads such as self-weight, floor live load, and horizontal load under small earthquake action. By analyzing the internal forces and deformations of the wall under these load combinations, the wall structure performance is ensured to meet the requirements of building normal use. For bearing capacity requirements, the axial compressive bearing capacity and shear bearing capacity of the wall, as well as the lateral bending capacity of the wall structure under load action are calculated. For deformation control, the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement of the wall are calculated to ensure that the deformation is within the limit value, avoiding affecting the overall stability of the structure and the use function. By adjusting the design parameters such as prestressed steel bar tension stress and steel bar arrangement, the performance of the wall under normal use conditions and small earthquake action is optimized.

[0037] (1) For the wall subjected to axial compression, the following design method should be used: ; When the wall's is not greater than 99,

[0038] When the wall's is greater than 99,

[0039]

[0040]

[0041] where, h is the wall height, r is the radius of gyration, e is the eccentricity, f a is the masonry axial compressive stress, f b is the masonry axial bending stress, F a is the masonry axial compressive strength design value, F b is the masonry bending compressive strength design value, f' m is the masonry compressive strength standard value, unit: MPa, P is the axial load, Pe The elastic yield critical load of the axial compression member, E m The elastic modulus of the masonry, I n The moment of inertia of the net section.

[0042] For prestressed reinforced masonry shear walls with transverse unrestrained reinforcement, the prestress of the prestressed reinforcement P ps Should be included in the calculation of the axial load P .

[0043] For prestressed reinforced masonry shear walls with transverse restrained reinforcement, the prestress P P ps Should not be considered when calculating the axial load

[0044] (2) The design bending moment strength should be taken as the theoretical bending moment strength M n Multiplied by the strength reduction coefficient , =0.8.

[0045] For cross-section B with uniform width in the depth of the compression zone, the depth of the equivalent compressive stress block a Should be determined by the following formula: ; Where, a The equivalent compression zone height is mm, f ps The prestressed reinforcement ultimate state stress is MPa, A ps The prestressed reinforcement cross-sectional area is mm 2 , A s The longitudinal reinforcement cross-sectional area is mm 2 , f y The yield strength standard value of steel bars and anchors is MPa, P u The design value of the axial load is N, f' m The compressive strength standard value of the masonry is MPa, b ​b is the width of the section in mm.

[0046] For the flexural strength of prestressed reinforced masonry shear walls of width b M n The following formula shall be used: ; Where, d b is the effective depth of the section in mm, M n M is the flexural strength, also known as the flexural capacity, in MPa.

[0047] Distance d The following formula shall be used to calculate the distance from the centerline of the tendon to the actual compression face of the member. For prestressed tendons and walls loaded out of plane, d shall not exceed the face shell thickness plus one-half the diameter of the tendon plus 0.95 cm.

[0048] When tendons are not placed in the center of the wall, the following formula shall be used to calculate the distance from the centerline of the tendon to the actual compression face of the member for each direction of out-of-plane bending d .

[0049] For walls with prestressed reinforcement, the following formula shall be used to calculate the effective prestress of the prestressed reinforcement f ps : ; Where, f se P is the effective prestress of the prestressed reinforcement, E ps E is the modulus of elasticity of the prestressed reinforcement, L is the net length of the prestressed reinforcement, f ps f is the prestressed reinforcement stress at ultimate limit state in MPa, A ps A is the cross-sectional area of the prestressed reinforcement in mm 2 , f' m f is the standard compressive strength of the masonry in MPa.

[0050] (3) The shear strength of prestressed reinforced masonry shear walls shall be calculated using the following a), b), and c) formulas, and the minimum value shall be taken.

[0051] a) ; b) ; c) ; in V n Not exceed the following values: like , ; like , ; For partially grouted prestressed reinforced masonry shear walls ,otherwise ; V n is the shear force design value, in N, V ns is the design value of stirrup shear force, in N, V nm is the design value of masonry shear force, in N, A nv is the net shear area in m 2 .

[0052] S5. Under moderate and major earthquakes, the ultimate bearing capacity calculations for prestressed reinforced masonry shear walls must strictly meet the performance requirements of the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings for the corresponding earthquake levels.

[0053] The calculation needs to take into account vertical loads such as the deadweight of the structure, live loads on the floor, and horizontal loads under moderate and major earthquakes. By analyzing the internal forces and deformations of the wall under these load combinations, ensure that the performance of the wall structure meets the standards and meets the requirements for normal use of the building. For bearing capacity requirements, calculate the axial compressive bearing capacity and shear bearing capacity as well as the lateral bending capacity of the wall, and the mechanical stability of the wall structure under load. For deformation control, calculate the horizontal and vertical displacements of the wall to ensure that the deformation is within the limit to avoid affecting the overall stability and usability of the structure. For the specific calculation formulas involved, please refer to the calculation formula in step S4.

[0054] The maximum applied stress of prestressed steel bars shall not exceed 0.8 times the specified tensile strength of the prestressed steel bars and 0.94 times the specified yield strength of the prestressed steel bars; after the prestress is transferred to the masonry shear wall, the stress in the prestress shall not exceed 0.82 times the yield strength and 0.74 times the ultimate tensile force; when prestressing is applied, the prestress at the anchors and connectors shall not exceed 0.78 times the yield strength and 0.7 times the ultimate stress.

[0055] The calculation needs to focus on the plastic deformation capacity, stiffness degradation law and ultimate limit bearing state of the wall under the action of reciprocating loads, to ensure that the damage to the wall structure is controllable during moderate earthquakes and that it does not collapse during major earthquakes.

[0056] If the calculation result does not meet the ultimate bearing capacity requirement of the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings, edge member restraining hoops can be added to enhance the restraining capacity of the edge region of the wall, improve the strength grade of the core concrete, and enhance the overall stress performance of the wall by optimizing the mix proportion to improve the compressive strength and ductility of the core concrete, adjusting the arrangement of the prestressed steel, and further exerting the self-centering effect of the prestress to improve the bearing redundancy of the wall under large deformation. After optimization, the ultimate bearing capacity calculation and analysis need to be performed again until the performance target under the action of moderate earthquakes and major earthquakes is met.

[0057] S6. Selecting and arranging the prestressed steel according to the calculation result.

[0058] If the calculation result of any one of steps S3, S4, and S5 does not meet the design requirement, the design parameters and arrangement scheme of the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall are adjusted and recalculated until the calculation result meets the design requirement (i.e., the relevant building structure design standards such as the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings and the Code for Design of Masonry Structures). After the calculation result of the previous steps meets the design requirement, the arrangement of the prestressed steel in the wall is determined according to the calculation result of the previous steps, the stress characteristics of the structure, and the calculated prestress distribution, including the number, spacing, and positions of the tension end and fixed end of the prestressed steel. The selection of the prestressed steel needs to consider indicators such as strength grade, relaxation performance, and fatigue performance.

[0059] Low-relaxation steel strands with a standard tensile strength not less than 1860 MPa are preferentially selected, and their relaxation rate should meet the specification requirements, with a 1000h relaxation rate not greater than 2.5%. The arrangement of the prestressed steel should be combined with the stress characteristics of the wall and the seismic performance requirements. The prestressed steel is arranged reasonably in the tensile and compressive regions of the wall to effectively control the crack development of the wall and improve the self-centering ability. The arrangement spacing should meet the minimum spacing requirement of the prestressed steel in the specification to avoid concrete pouring not being dense due to too small spacing. At the same time, the arrangement of the tension end and fixed end of the prestressed steel should be considered to ensure the feasibility and safety of the tensioning construction. According to the prestress loss value obtained by structural calculation, the over-tensioning proportion of the prestressed steel is determined, but the over-tensioning value should not exceed the maximum tension control stress limit value specified in the specification, i.e., not more than 75% of the standard strength value of the prestressed steel. Through the above selection and arrangement, the mechanical properties of the prestressed steel can be fully exerted to ensure that the wall works cooperatively with the blocks and core concrete in each stress stage and improve the overall seismic performance of the structure.

[0060] S7. Selecting a reliable prestressed steel anchoring device to complete the design of the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall.

[0061] For the anchoring of prestressed reinforcement in prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall structure, mechanical anchoring or adhesive anchoring should be selected according to the construction process and stress requirements, and the following requirements should be met: the anchoring efficiency coefficient of the mechanical anchoring device directly supported on the masonry or placed in the concrete end block or completely grouted in the masonry shall not be less than 0.95 to ensure that the prestress is effectively transmitted to the wall; and the fatigue performance test shall be passed to meet the durability requirements under repeated loads in seismic design to avoid prestress loss due to anchoring failure. Adhesive anchoring is often used in pre-tensioning method or part of non-tensioning end in post-tensioning method. The length of adhesive anchoring shall be determined according to the Code for Design of Concrete Structures, considering factors such as steel diameter, concrete strength grade, prestress transmission length, etc., to ensure that the adhesive force is sufficient to resist the tension generated by prestress. Through the reasonable selection of the above anchoring methods, the prestressed reinforcement and the wall can work together to ultimately complete the overall design of the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall.

[0062] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall comprises a prefabricated hollow block unit 1, a prestressed reinforcement 5, a construction reinforcement, a core grouting concrete 2 and an anchoring device 6 of the prestressed reinforcement; the prefabricated hollow block unit 1 comprises load-bearing blocks such as concrete hollow blocks, aerated concrete blocks, fly ash blocks, etc., and the blocks have holes; the prestressed reinforcement 5 is arranged in the holes of the blocks in the height direction of the shear wall, and both ends are provided with anchoring devices; the construction reinforcement comprises horizontally distributed construction reinforcement 3 and vertically distributed construction reinforcement 4, the horizontally distributed construction reinforcement 3 is arranged in the horizontal mortar joint of the blocks, and the vertically distributed construction reinforcement 4 is located in the holes of the blocks; the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall is obtained by the design method of the first aspect.

Precisely determine the overall structural performance target according to the use function of the building, the safety standard and the site conditions and other factors. This target needs to be established by considering various requirements of the building in the normal use process and the safety requirements in the possible extreme situations (such as earthquake, wind, etc.). Then, the ordinary structure design is carried out according to the building scheme, which needs to follow the relevant building design specifications and mechanical principles to ensure the preliminary rationality and feasibility of the structure.

Consider the spatial layout, force characteristics, and seismic requirements of the building, accurately determine the specific location of prestressed reinforced masonry shear walls in the building. These positions are usually the key parts of the structure with more concentrated stress and greater influence on the overall stability. At the same time, according to the size, height, load size and other conditions of the building, reasonably determine the size of the prestressed reinforced masonry shear wall, including the length, thickness and height of the wall, so as to ensure that the wall can effectively bear and transfer the load.

[0066] 3. According to the seismic fortification intensity and site category of the building location, determine the seismic performance requirements of the building. This includes specific indicators for the deformation capacity, energy dissipation capacity, and collapse resistance of the structure under earthquake action. At the same time, combined with the use function and design standard of the building, determine the bearing capacity design requirements of the structure, including the bearing capacity requirements of vertical loads (such as self-weight, live load, etc.) and horizontal loads (such as wind load, earthquake action, etc.). Then, according to the relevant building codes of the state, the load combination under the most unfavorable working condition is calculated to determine the load combination that the structure bears.

To ensure the safety and reliability of the structure, the required prestress must meet certain limitations, i.e. it must not exceed 0.94 f py , and must not exceed 0.8 f pu . After the prestress is transferred to the masonry, the stress in the prestressed steel bar must also be limited, which must not exceed 0.82 f py or 0.74 f pu ; during the prestressing process, the prestress at the anchor and connector must not exceed 0.78 f py or 0.7 f pu . Through the above conditions, and combined with the actual required prestress of the shear wall, the most suitable type of prestressed steel bar is selected from the existing types on the market. In addition, due to the influence of various factors in actual engineering, such as the elastic shrinkage of the masonry, stress loss during anchoring, and thermal effects, etc., these factors need to be considered comprehensively, and the effective stress of the prestressed steel bar f se is obtained through reasonable calculation method.

When determining the design bending moment strength of the wall, the theoretical bending moment strength M n should be multiplied by a strength reduction factor Ø, which is 0.8. This reduction is to consider various uncertain factors in actual engineering, such as the dispersion of material properties and the differences in construction quality, to ensure the safety of the structure in actual use. For a cross-section with uniform width in the depth of the compression zone B , the depth of the equivalent compressive stress block a needs to be calculated through a specific formula.

The distance d should be accurately calculated as the actual distance from the center line of the steel tendon to the compression surface of the component. For the prestressed steel tendon and the out-of-plane loaded wall, in order to ensure the stress performance and safety of the wall, d The value should not exceed the thickness of the surface shell plus half the diameter of the steel tendon plus 0.95 cm. When the steel tendon is not placed at the center position of the wall, the value of each direction of the out-of-plane bending needs to be calculated respectively to ensure that the wall can meet the design requirements under different stress conditions. d

The specific anchoring methods include: directly supporting the prestressed reinforcement on the masonry, using the bearing capacity of the masonry to fix the prestressed reinforcement; or placing the prestressed reinforcement in the mechanical anchoring device inside the concrete end block or fully grouted masonry, and ensuring the reliable connection of the prestressed reinforcement and the structure through mechanical connection; or using adhesive in the reinforced concrete end block or component to anchor, using the adhesive force to firmly fix the prestressed reinforcement in the structure. The selection and application of these anchoring methods need to be reasonably determined according to the specific engineering conditions and design requirements, so as to ensure that the prestressed reinforcement can effectively play its role and improve the overall performance and safety of the structure.
