Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of earthquake-resistant building structures, in particular to an eccentrically restrained buckling braced steel frame system with prestressed cables. Background Art

[0002] Some buildings suffered severe damage and collapse after experiencing strong earthquakes exceeding the seismic fortification intensity for their area. With my country's rapid economic development, the three levels of seismic design have gradually shifted from being indestructible in small earthquakes, repairable in moderate earthquakes, and surviving in large earthquakes to being indestructible in moderate earthquakes and repairable in large earthquakes. The seismic fortification goals of minimal damage and rapid restoration of structural function after a large earthquake have been proposed and are receiving increasing attention.

[0003] When designing buildings in earthquake-stricken areas, special consideration needs to be given to structural seismic resistance; energy dissipation and seismic isolation technology is one of the most direct and effective ways to achieve good structural seismic performance and post-earthquake functional recovery. Among them, the eccentrically supported steel frame structure is an energy-absorbing and shock-absorbing structural system. According to its design concept, under the action of an earthquake, the energy is dissipated through the plastic deformation of its energy-absorbing section to protect the main structure from damage or collapse, and the damage to the structure is concentrated in the energy-absorbing section. After the earthquake, only the energy-absorbing section needs to be repaired or replaced to restore the function of the structure. The relevant specifications currently implemented in my country, such as the "Technical Code for Steel Structures of High-rise Civil Buildings" (JGJ99-2015), "Code for Seismic Design of Buildings" (GB50011-2010) and "Steel Structure Design Standard" (GB50017-2017), have made general provisions and requirements for the design of eccentrically supported structures. This structure has now been widely used in high-rise building structures.

[0004] Under large earthquake deformation, the energy-absorbing section in an ordinary eccentrically supported structure may reach its limit plastic deformation and undergo component failure. The distribution of internal forces in the frame shows that the diagonal supports are subjected to large axial tensile and compressive stresses and buckle, resulting in stress degradation and leading to instability and failure of the entire structural system. Ordinary steel frame diagonal supports have low lateral stiffness and are difficult to replace, resulting in a complex and expensive post-earthquake repair process. Therefore, the eccentrically supported structure needs to further improve the energy dissipation capacity of the energy-absorbing section to make it compatible with the currently proposed higher seismic fortification targets. Although there are some new eccentric support systems on the market, their pros and cons need to be further considered to improve the seismic energy dissipation and toughness of the structure, give full play to the working principle of the eccentrically supported structure, and promote the improvement of the seismic resistance level of my country's building structures.

[0005] Chinese patent 201910071466.3 discloses a large-clearance recoverable functional steel frame eccentric support system, which consists of Y-shaped diagonal braces, main components and connecting devices, and high-strength bolts are used to assemble the components at the nodes; it includes two welded combined special-shaped columns, two I-beam sections with diagonal support rods, two Y-shaped diagonal braces, an energy-absorbing beam section and several connecting devices; the beam end is strengthened by thickening the flange thickness of the cantilever beam section on the welded combined special-shaped column, and the purpose of plastic hinge outward movement and improved rotation capacity is achieved through the connection method of the cover plate and the gap setting between the cantilever beam section and the I-beam section on the welded combined special-shaped column. Under seismic loads, plastic failure only occurs in the splicing area, while the rest of the parts remain elastic. After the earthquake, the main structure can be restored to its functional state by simply replacing the beam-column node connection device. However, the ductility of the energy-absorbing beam section determines the ductility of the entire eccentrically supported steel frame, as can be seen from the structural form of the eccentrically supported plastic energy-absorbing failure. If the energy-absorbing beam section structure is not improved, the plastic side displacement angle of the structure will increase with the increase of the plastic rotation angle of the energy-absorbing beam section, thereby reducing the structural bearing capacity.

[0006] Chinese Patent 202311153126.8 discloses a K-type eccentrically supported energy-absorbing section replaceable assembled RCS frame system, which includes a vertical support structure, a horizontal support structure, and a steel diagonal brace. The vertical support structure is formed by connecting multiple precast concrete columns in sequence in the vertical direction to form a vertical support structure supported on the foundation; the two adjacent vertical support structures are connected by multiple horizontal support structures spaced apart along the height direction; the horizontal support structure includes: a segmented shear energy-absorbing section and two steel beams; the two steel beams are arranged horizontally relative to each other, connected in the middle by the segmented shear energy-absorbing section, and the other ends are respectively connected to the precast concrete columns on the corresponding sides; the two adjacent horizontal support structures in the height direction are connected by two steel diagonal braces distributed in an "eight" shape, one end of the steel diagonal brace is connected to the connection end of the upper steel beam on the corresponding side and the segmented shear energy-absorbing section, and the other end is connected to the connection end of the precast concrete column on the corresponding side and the lower steel beam. When the structure is subjected to earthquake loads, the O-shaped metal rings between the shear energy-absorbing sections located between the diagonal supports dissipate the seismic energy through plastic deformation, ensuring that the vertical and horizontal support structures remain in an elastic working state after the earthquake. After the earthquake, only the energy-absorbing components need to be replaced for the building to continue to be used. Although this utility model can dissipate seismic energy through plastic deformation of the energy-absorbing beam ends, the vertical and diagonal supports lack obvious seismic structural settings. In rare earthquakes, the O-shaped metal in the energy-absorbing beam ends has a unclear boundary from the plastic stage to the destruction stage and is easily destroyed instantly, resulting in a large amount of plastic deformation of non-energy-absorbing components (beams and columns). The energy-absorbing devices cannot be replaced in time, which leads to the overall destruction of the structure.

[0007] Therefore, in view of its existing shortcomings, a frame structure that can dissipate a large amount of earthquake energy is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

The coordinated work of the entire system can realize the energy dissipation capacity of the structure and give full play to the advantages of assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0062] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the relevant content and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0063] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides an eccentrically restrained buckling brace steel frame system with prestressed cables, comprising a horizontal support segment, a vertical support frame and a restrained buckling brace assembly 8, wherein there are two vertical support frames and two restrained buckling brace assemblies 8, the vertical support frames are located at both ends of the horizontal support segment, the vertical support frames are perpendicular to the horizontal support segment, one end of the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 is connected to the horizontal support segment, and the other end of the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 is connected to the vertical support frame, so that the horizontal support segment, the two vertical support frames and the two restrained buckling brace assemblies 8 together constitute a K-shaped frame body.

[0065] The horizontal support section includes an energy-absorbing beam assembly and a horizontal beam 1. There are two horizontal beams 1, which are respectively installed at both ends of the energy-absorbing beam assembly, and the two horizontal beams 1 and the energy-absorbing beam assembly are located on the same straight line. The energy-absorbing beam assembly can produce plastic deformation after being subjected to force; the two vertical support frames are respectively installed at one end of the two horizontal beams 1 away from the energy-absorbing beam assembly, one end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 is connected to the end of the horizontal beam 1 close to the energy-absorbing beam assembly, and the other end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 is connected to the end of the vertical support frame away from the horizontal beam 1, so that the horizontal beam 1, the restrained buckling support assembly 8, and the vertical support frame together form a right-angled triangle.

[0066] In the present invention, when the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 is installed, it should be ensured that the intersection of the central axis of the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 and the central axis of the horizontal beam 1 is set inside the energy dissipation beam assembly, so that the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 can generate an additional bending moment in the opposite direction to the bending moment at the end of the energy dissipation beam assembly, thereby reducing the bending moment of the restrained buckling brace assembly 8, which is more conducive to seismic energy dissipation.

[0067] The eccentrically restrained buckling braced steel frame system with prestressed cables also includes a prestressed cable assembly, one end of the prestressed cable assembly is connected to one end of the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 connected to the horizontal beam 1, and the other end of the prestressed cable assembly is connected to the vertical support frame. The prestressed cable assembly is parallel to the horizontal beam 1, and the prestressed cable assembly is pulled and the horizontal support section and the vertical support frame undergo angular displacement and then reset themselves.

[0068] In the present invention, by combining the energy-absorbing beam assembly and the restrained buckling support assembly 8, the energy-absorbing beam assembly first enters the plastic stage to dissipate the seismic energy. When the seismic energy continues to increase, the energy-absorbing beam assembly fails, and the restrained buckling support assembly 8 enters the tensile-compression state to dissipate energy. The prestressed steel cable assembly can self-reset after the frame beam undergoes angular displacement, and the bolts can also consume energy during sliding. After the earthquake, the structural damage can be quickly evaluated and the energy-absorbing beam assembly or the restrained buckling support assembly 8 can be replaced. The coordinated work of the entire system can realize the energy-absorbing capacity of the structure and the superiority of the assembly.

[0069] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the vertical support frame and the horizontal beam 1, a first node plate 3 is also welded on the side wall of the vertical support frame, and there are two first node plates 3. The two first node plates 3 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the vertical support frame, and corresponding bolt holes are opened at the ends of the two first node plates 3 and the horizontal beam 1. Bolts are installed in the corresponding bolt holes on the two first node plates 3 and the horizontal beam 1. After the bolts are installed, nuts are tightened to fix them, so that the first node plates 3 and the horizontal beam 1 are fixed by bolts, thereby realizing the connection between the vertical support frame and the horizontal beam 1.

[0070] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the vertical support frame and the restrained buckling support assembly 8, a third node plate 7 is installed at the end of the vertical support frame away from the crossbeam, and both ends of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 have end plates, and corresponding bolt holes are opened on the end plate at one end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 and the third node plate 7, and bolts are installed in the corresponding bolt holes on the end plate at one end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 and the third node plate 7. After the bolts are installed, nuts are tightened to fix them, so that the third node plate 7 and the end plate at one end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 are fixed by bolts, thereby realizing the connection between the vertical support frame and the restrained buckling support assembly 8.

[0071] At the same time, in order to make the installation of the third node plate 7 more stable, a bottom positioning plate 6 is welded to the end of the vertical support frame away from the cross beam, so that one side of the third node plate 7 is welded to the bottom positioning plate 6, and the other side of the third node plate 7 is welded to the vertical support frame, and there are two third node plates 7, and the end plate at one end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 is located between the two third node plates 7, and the end plate at one end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 is connected to the two third node plates 7 by bolts.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the restrained buckling support assembly 8 and the horizontal beam 1, a T-shaped positioning plate 4 is further installed at one end of the horizontal beam 1 connected to the energy-absorbing beam assembly. The T-shaped positioning plate 4 is located on the lower surface of the horizontal beam 1, and the T-shaped positioning plate 4 is welded and fixed to the horizontal beam 1, and a second node plate 5 is also welded on the T-shaped positioning plate 4, and the two side edges of the second node plate 5 are respectively welded to the two surfaces of the T-shaped positioning plate 4; at the same time, there are two second node plates 5, and the two second node plates 5 are arranged at intervals, and the end plate at the upper end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 is located between the two second node plates 5, and the second node plate 5 and the end plate at the upper end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 are provided with corresponding bolt holes, and bolts are installed in the corresponding bolt holes on the end plate at the upper end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 and the second node plate 5. After the bolts are installed, nuts are tightened to fix them, so that the second node plate 5 and the end plate at the upper end of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 are fixed by bolts, thereby realizing the connection between the horizontal beam 1 and the restrained buckling support assembly 8.

[0073] In order to ensure the structural strength of the T-shaped positioning plate 4, a plurality of triangular stiffening ribs 22 are welded to the side of the T-shaped positioning plate 4 where the second node plate 5 is not installed. The plurality of triangular stiffening ribs 22 are arranged at intervals along the web width direction of the T-shaped positioning plate 4.

[0074] In the present invention, to ensure the structural strength of the horizontal beam 1, a plurality of vertical stiffening ribs 21 are welded to the web of the horizontal beam 1. The plurality of vertical stiffening ribs 21 are spaced apart along the axis of the horizontal beam 1, and the ends of the vertical stiffening ribs 21 are welded to the two webs of the horizontal beam 1. The provision of the vertical stiffening ribs 21 on the horizontal beam 1 further constrains deformation of the ends of the horizontal beam 1.

[0075] like Figure 2As shown, in order to install the prestressed steel cable assembly, a steel cable positioning combination plate 10 is also welded on the vertical support frame, and the top surface of the steel cable positioning combination plate 10 is in contact with the flange of the horizontal beam 1, so that the steel cable positioning combination plate 10 is located at the node of the vertical support frame and the horizontal beam 1, and steel cable positioning blocks 9 are installed on the steel cable positioning combination plate 10 and the second node plate 5. There are two steel cable positioning blocks 9 on the steel cable positioning combination plate 10 and the steel cable positioning blocks 9 on the second node plate 5, of which two steel cable positioning blocks 9 are located on both sides of the steel cable positioning combination plate 10, and the other two steel cable positioning blocks 9 are located on both sides of the second node plate 5, and one end of the prestressed steel cable assembly is locked and fixed with the steel cable positioning combination plate 10 and the steel cable positioning block 9 through a connecting pin shaft, and the other end of the prestressed steel cable assembly is locked and fixed with the second node plate 5 and the steel cable positioning block 9 through a connecting pin shaft, thereby realizing the connection between the vertical support frame, the prestressed steel cable assembly, and the constrained buckling support assembly 8.

[0076] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the prestressed cable assembly includes cable structures mounted on two cable positioning blocks 9. The cable structures are capable of swinging on the cable positioning blocks 9. A cable connecting structure is connected between the two cable structures, allowing the cable connecting structure and the cable structure to swing relative to each other. The vertical support frame is connected to the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 at the connection nodes via the cable structures and the cable connecting structure, allowing the cable structures and the cable connecting structure to fully utilize the tensile strength and mechanical properties of the cables.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, the cable structure includes a first cable anchor 12, a second cable anchor 132, and a first prestressed cable 131; a rotatable tension screw 11 is installed at both ends of the connecting pin shaft used to fix the second node plate 5 and the cable positioning block 9, and the extended ends of the two tension screws 11 are fixed to the first cable anchor 12. Similarly, two rotatable tension screws 11 are also installed on the cable connection structure, and the extended ends of the two tension screws 11 are fixed to the second cable anchor 132, and the two ends of the first prestressed cable 131 are respectively connected to the first cable anchor 12 and the second cable anchor 132. Of course, there can also be multiple first prestressed cables 131 connected between the first cable anchor 12 and the second cable anchor 132.

[0078] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7As shown, the cable connection structure includes two connecting blocks 133. Specifically, a hinge seat is fixed on each of the two connecting blocks 133. The tension screw 11 connected to the second cable anchor 132 in the two cable structures is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat via a connecting pin. The connecting block 133 includes a C-shaped outer frame and a bent portion. The C-shaped outer frame and the bent portion are an integral structure. The bent portion is located at one end of the C-shaped outer frame and extends from one end of the C-shaped outer frame to the other end of the C-shaped outer frame. At the same time, the two connecting blocks 133 fit together, and when the two connecting blocks 133 are spliced ​​together, the C-shaped outer frames of the two connecting blocks 133 together form an annular outer frame, and the bent portions on the two connecting blocks 133 are connected to form a complete connecting rod. The connecting rod extends along the width direction of the annular outer frame, or the connecting rod extends along the length direction of the annular outer frame.

[0079] like Figure 8 As shown, a hemispherical groove 134 is provided on the mating surface of the two bent parts. When the two bent parts are butted together, the two hemispherical grooves 134 together form a complete spherical chamber; at the same time, a hemispherical shaft 136 is installed in each of the two hemispherical grooves 134. When the two bent parts are butted together, the two hemispherical shafts 136 form a complete ball, which can fully roll in the spherical chamber. A transmission rod 137 is welded to each of the two hemispherical shafts 136. The angle between the central axis of the transmission rod 137 and the axis of the bent portion is less than 90°, so that the transmission rod 137 is inclined relative to the bent portion, and the transmission rod 137 extends outward through the side of the bent portion; at the same time, the end of the transmission rod 137 away from the hemispherical shaft 136 is hinged with a damper 138, and the other end of the damper 138 is hinged with an adjusting screw 139, and the other end of the adjusting screw 139 passes through the C-shaped outer frame of the connecting block 133 and is locked with a nut, and the adjusting screw 139 remains parallel to the bent portion of the connecting block 133.

[0080] In the present invention, after the two hemispherical shafts 136 are installed in the two hemispherical grooves 134, the two hemispherical shafts 136 are locked together. The locking method between the two hemispherical shafts 136 can be: a bolt is implanted in the cross-section of one hemispherical shaft 136, and a threaded hole for the bolt is opened in the cross-section of the other hemispherical shaft 136. When the two hemispherical shafts 136 need to be locked, the bolt on the hemispherical shaft 136 is screwed into the threaded hole on the other hemispherical shaft 136. Of course, the locking method between the two hemispherical shafts 136 can also be adopted in other ways, such as snap-fitting, clamping, etc.

[0081] In the present invention, when the adjusting screw 139 is installed, the adjusting screw 139 preferably extends toward the end of the C-shaped outer frame away from the bent portion; of course, the adjusting screw 139 can also extend toward the end of the C-shaped outer frame with the bent portion. That is, the specific extension direction of the adjusting screw 139 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. In the present invention, by controlling the penetration length of the adjusting screw 139 on the C-shaped outer frame, the adjusting screw 139 adjusts the degree of rotation of the hemispherical shaft 136 in the hemispherical groove 134 through the damper 138 and the transmission rod 137, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, when the adjusting screw 139 is fully adjusted to the inside of the C-shaped outer frame, the cross section of the hemispherical shaft 136 is flush with the end surface of the bent portion. At this time, when the two connecting blocks 133 are subjected to tension, they can be easily separated; Figure 8 As shown, when the adjusting screw 139 is fully adjusted to the outside of the C-shaped outer frame, the cross section of the hemispherical shaft 136 is inclined to the end face of the bent portion, and the hemispherical shaft 136 is simultaneously located in the hemispherical groove 134, and the two connecting blocks 133 cannot be separated when subjected to tension.

[0082] In addition, in the present invention, when the width of the bending portion is smaller than the diameter of the hemispherical groove 134, the width of the bending portion away from the end of the C-shaped outer frame can be appropriately widened, or the bending portion away from the end of the C-shaped outer frame can be directly set into a spherical structure.

[0083] In the present invention, in order to enable the hemispherical shaft 136 to roll in the hemispherical groove 134, a movable groove 135 is further provided on the bent portion. The movable groove 135 is an arc-shaped groove. The axial direction of the movable groove 135 is consistent with the swing direction of the transmission rod 137, and the transmission rod 137 is installed through the movable groove 135. Through the cooperation between the transmission rod 137 and the movable groove 135, the hemispherical shaft 136 can rotate around the center of the movable groove 135 in the hemispherical groove 134.

[0084] The steel cable connection structure in the prestressed steel cable assembly in the present invention can control the tensioning degree of the first prestressed steel cable 131. The maximum horizontal tension of the prestressed steel cable assembly is located at the mid-span, and the horizontal tension of the anchor point is the smallest. While ensuring the lateral stiffness of the restrained buckling support assembly 8, the adverse effect of the horizontal component of the prestressed steel cable assembly on the node between the vertical support frame and the horizontal beam 1 is reduced.

[0085] In the utility model, protective covers 23 are provided on both sides of the two connecting blocks 133. The two protective covers 23 on the same connecting block 133 are an integral structure with the hinged seat on the connecting block 133. When the two connecting blocks 133 are spliced ​​together, the four protective covers 23 and the outer walls of the two connecting blocks 133 together form a complete surface, making the surface of the steel cable connection structure more complete.

[0086] like Figure 4As shown, the energy-absorbing beam assembly in the present invention includes two channel steels 14, which are arranged back to back. The two ends of the webs of the two channel steels 14 are respectively fitted with the webs of the two horizontal beams 1, and the two ends of the webs of the two channel steels 14 and the ends of the webs of the horizontal beams 1 are provided with corresponding bolt holes, so that the two ends of the two channel steels 14 can be connected to the horizontal beam 1 by bolts.

[0087] To strengthen the connection between the channel steel 14 and the horizontal beam 1, a fourth node plate 17 is welded to each end of the web of the channel steel 14. The fourth node plate 17 also has bolt holes that correspond to the bolt holes on the web of the channel steel 14. When the channel steel 14 and the horizontal beam 1 are bolted together, the ends of the bolts pass through the horizontal beam 1, the two channel steels 14, and the fourth node plates 17 on the two channel steels 14 before being tightened and secured with nuts. Furthermore, a plurality of annular cast irons 16 are welded to the web of the channel steel 14. The outer sides of the annular cast irons 16 are welded to the two webs of the channel steel 14, and the plurality of annular cast irons 16 are arranged at intervals along the axis of the channel steel 14.

[0088] A plurality of energy-absorbing beam segment stiffening ribs 15 are welded to the web of the channel steel 14. The two ends of the energy-absorbing beam segment stiffening ribs 15 are respectively welded to the two flanges of the channel steel 14, and the annular cast iron 16 is located between two adjacent energy-absorbing beam segment stiffening ribs 15. In addition to being welded to the two webs of the channel steel 14, the outer side of the annular cast iron 16 is also welded and fixed to the energy-absorbing beam segment stiffening ribs 15 on both sides.

[0089] In the present invention, the strength of the multiple ring-shaped cast irons 16 on the channel steel 14 can be inconsistent. Specifically, based on the shear force distribution of the energy dissipation beam assembly, the ring-shaped cast irons 16 located at the ends of the channel steel 14 can be selected to be stronger than the ring-shaped cast irons 16 located in the middle of the channel steel 14. This design is more conducive to absorbing energy during earthquakes. In addition, when selecting the channel steel 14, the cross-section of the channel steel 14 should be determined based on the principle that the web of the channel steel 14 is subjected to shear, while the flange of the channel steel 14 is subjected to axial force and bending moment. This ensures that the bending bearing capacity of the energy dissipation beam assembly is greater than its shear bearing capacity, and that it still has sufficient bending strength when the entire cross-section shear yields.

[0090] In order to ensure the integrity of the energy-absorbing beam assembly, a plurality of L-shaped connecting steel plates 18 are welded on the two flanges of the channel steel 14. The multiple L-shaped connecting steel plates 18 on the flanges on the same side of the two channel steels 14 correspond to each other, and the corresponding L-shaped connecting steel plates 18 are connected by bolts, so that the two channel steels 14 are fixed to form a beam, thereby improving the integrity of the energy-absorbing beam assembly.

[0091] In the present invention, the strength of the channel steel 14 must be lower than the steel strength of the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 to prevent the restrained buckling brace assembly 8 from yielding earlier than the energy dissipation beam assembly, thereby causing structural failure and loss of energy dissipation capacity.

[0092] By bolting the two channel steels 14 in the energy-absorbing beam assembly, and also bolting the two channel steels 14 to the horizontal beam 1, when an earthquake occurs, the energy-absorbing beam assembly first undergoes plastic deformation to consume the earthquake energy. As the horizontal load of the earthquake increases, the energy-absorbing beam assembly "blows" like a fuse, and the restrained buckling support assembly 8 is subjected to tension and compression, dissipating the earthquake energy without buckling, thereby maintaining structural stability. At the same time, the restrained buckling support assembly 8 is subjected to the tension of the prestressed steel cable assembly to reduce the displacement angle. After the earthquake, the damaged components can be replaced to quickly restore the function of the building structure.

[0093] In this utility model, if Figure 1 As shown, the vertical support frame includes a vertical support steel 2, and the vertical support steel 2 can be made of I-steel. The web of the vertical support steel 2 is installed with transverse stiffening ribs 19 arranged at intervals along its axial direction, and the two ends of the transverse stiffening ribs 19 are respectively welded to the two flanges of the vertical support steel 2; at the same time, when designing multiple transverse stiffening ribs 19, two of the transverse stiffening ribs 19 are located at the two ends of the vertical support steel 2, and the transverse stiffening ribs 19 located at the two ends of the vertical support steel 2 can be used as end plates of the vertical support steel 2; a second prestressed steel cable 20 is installed through the multiple transverse stiffening ribs 19, and after the second prestressed steel cable 20 passes through the multiple transverse stiffening ribs 19 on the vertical support steel 2, the two ends of the second prestressed steel cable 20 are locked and fixed with nuts to the transverse stiffening ribs 19 located at the two ends of the vertical support steel 2. In the present invention, the number of the second prestressed steel cables 20 commonly installed on the plurality of transverse stiffening ribs 19 in the vertical support frame may be one or more, specifically, for example, two, three, etc.

[0094] The vertical support frame combines the vertical support steel 2 with the second prestressed steel cable 20 so that the second prestressed steel cable 20 can provide a restoring force under the action of an earthquake, thereby reducing structural deformation.

[0095] In the present invention, in order to ensure that the lateral stiffness of the vertical support frame meets the structural requirements, the energy dissipation beam assembly should not be set too long. In the absence of special requirements for the building, its length can generally be 0.1 to 0.15 times the length of the horizontal beam 1.

[0096] The structure of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 in the present invention is a double-layer steel pipe sleeve, the inner core of which is high-strength steel with a cross-shaped cross-section, the inner gap is filled with a mixture of mortar concrete and shock-absorbing materials, and a shock-absorbing ring is arranged between the inner pipe and the outer pipe to further improve the earthquake resistance and energy dissipation capacity; at the same time, the end plates at both ends of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 are prefabricated in the factory, which can achieve rapid repair after an earthquake.

[0097] The second prestressed steel cable 20 and the first prestressed steel cable 131 in the present invention can adopt six bundles of non-bonded prestressed steel strands, and the first prestressed steel cable 131 can control the tension and observe the damage of the steel cable at the same time, so that the damaged part can be replaced in time after the earthquake.

[0098] In the present invention, all bolts are high-strength bolts, and washers are added to the nuts during installation, which can not only increase the contact area of ​​the nuts and increase the friction, but also avoid the nuts being damaged first during the deformation process of the energy-consuming section.

[0099] The present invention achieves this by using a replaceable energy-absorbing beam assembly, a restrained buckling support assembly 8, and a prestressed steel cable assembly to work in coordination. When the steel frame structure is subjected to an earthquake, the energy-absorbing beam assembly first dissipates the earthquake energy through plastic deformation. As the earthquake action increases, the energy-absorbing beam assembly will first exit the working state, and the restrained buckling support assembly 8 will stretch and compress to dissipate energy. The prestressed steel cable assembly can self-reset after the horizontal support section and the vertical support frame undergo angular displacement, and the bolts can also dissipate energy during sliding. After the earthquake, the structural damage can be quickly assessed and the energy-absorbing beam assembly or the restrained buckling support assembly 8 can be replaced. During the action of earthquake loads, the present frame system not only relies on the replaceable energy-absorbing beam assembly to dissipate earthquake energy, but also relies on the tensile capacity of the restrained buckling support assembly 8 to further dissipate energy. Finally, the prestressed steel cable assembly is used to reset the structure. The energy dissipation and toughness are stronger, making it easy to achieve the new earthquake-resistant requirements of "no damage in moderate earthquakes, repairable in major earthquakes." The coordinated work of the entire system can achieve the energy dissipation capacity of the structure and give full play to the advantages of the prefabricated structure.
