[0036] To better understand the purpose, technical solution, and function of this invention, the invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, illustrative embodiments and their descriptions are used to explain the invention, but are not intended to limit the invention.

[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "comprising / including," "consisting of," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product, apparatus, process, or method that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but may also include, where necessary, other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product, apparatus, process, or method. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising / including…" or "consisting of…" does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the product, apparatus, process, or method that includes said element.

[0038] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "fixed connection" should be interpreted broadly, for example, it can refer to a sleeve connection, an lap joint, a weld, a bolted connection, or a combination of the above connections; the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should also be interpreted broadly, for example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components; the term "continuous reinforcing bar" refers to a reinforcing bar that is continuous without breakage, or a reinforcing bar that is broken but with a fixed connection between the broken reinforcing bars. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] It should also be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device, component or structure referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed or operated in a specific orientation, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0040] The implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a variable stiffness anchor includes an anchor A and a variable stiffness support B. The variable stiffness support B is located at the top of the anchor A. The anchor A includes anchor concrete 1 and anchor steel bar 2. The anchor steel bar 2 is located in the core of the anchor A. The variable stiffness support B has a through hole 3, through which the anchor steel bar 2.1 passes.

[0042] A variable stiffness support is installed at the top of the anchor bolt. Under the weight of the foundation, this support has low stiffness and can undergo large deformation, thus adjusting or reducing differential settlement of the foundation. The anchor bolt reinforcement 2.1 passes through the reinforcement hole 3 and can be inserted into the foundation. Under the buoyancy of groundwater, the anchor bolt can provide anti-buoyancy force.

[0043] In specific implementation, such as Figure 4 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 As shown, the variable stiffness support B consists of a cavity 4, a cavity wall 5, and a cavity plate 6. The cavity 4 is surrounded by the cavity wall 5 and the cavity plate 6, and the cavity 6 is located outside the anchor reinforcement. After setting the cavity, it is easy to adjust the stiffness of the variable stiffness support, thereby adjusting the differential settlement deformation.

[0044] In practice, the cavity wall 5 is made of rubber or plastic, and the cavity plate 6 can be made of rubber, plastic, or metal. The cavity wall 5 and the cavity plate 6 are integrally molded or connected as one piece. This facilitates manufacturing, provides good durability, and allows for close contact with the anchor rod reinforcement, reducing corrosion of the anchor rod reinforcement.

[0045] In practical implementation, the variable stiffness support B is provided with multiple spaced cavities 4, with reinforcing bar holes 3 located inside the cavities 4. This provides relatively low stiffness. The diameter of the reinforcing bar holes 3 is not less than 2.2 times the diameter of the anchor rod reinforcing bars. The diameter of the anchor rod is not greater than 350mm and not less than 100mm, which is beneficial for providing greater pull-out bearing capacity.

[0046] In practice, the anchor reinforcement is located in the core, which is within 50% of the radius of the circle inside the anchor. Positioning elements 9 are spaced along the length of anchor A to prevent eccentricity of the anchor reinforcement and avoid additional bending moments.

[0047] In specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, a leveling layer 8 is set between the variable stiffness support B and the anchor rod A to facilitate the transmission of force from the support to the anchor rod.

[0048] In practice, the anchor reinforcement 2 is prestressed steel and / or non-prestressed steel. Prestressed reinforcement helps reduce anchor cracks.

[0049] In practice, the anchor bar 2 extends beyond the top of the anchor concrete 1 and inserts into the foundation 9. This provides pull-out resistance to the foundation. The insertion depth is not less than 50% of the anchorage length of the bar.

[0050] In practice, the anchoring steel bar 2 is coated with anti-corrosion material within the range of the variable stiffness support B to improve its anti-corrosion performance.

[0051] For specific implementation, see Figure 5 There is a sealing material 7 between the anchor rod 2 and the through hole 3, which further improves its corrosion resistance and allows for appropriate adjustment of the anchor rod support stiffness. The sealing material can be lime-soil, concrete, cement mortar, cement grout, or cement-soil mixture.

[0052] A construction method for a variable stiffness anchor bolt, comprising the following steps:

[0053] Step 1, Hole Formation: Creating anchor bolt holes;

[0054] Step 2: Insert the anchor rod 2 into the anchor hole;

[0055] Step 3: Pour the anchor bolt concrete 1;

[0056] Step 4: Excavate the soil on the side of the anchor bolt;

[0057] Step 5: Remove the concrete at the top of the anchor rod corresponding to the excavated soil, and excavate to the predetermined position.

[0058] Step 6: Install the variable stiffness support B and pass the anchor rod 2 through the through hole 3;

[0059] Step 7: Fill with backfill material;

[0060] Step 8: Construction of the foundation.

[0061] In practice, a leveling layer can be added between steps five and six as needed.

[0062] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this patent, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept, and these all fall within the protection scope of this invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
