Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of structural engineering, in particular to an anti-collapse connection node based on a self-resetting modular steel structure. Background Art

[0002] Modular construction, also known as cassette construction, primarily consists of modular columns, modular beams, concrete floor slabs, and ceilings. These components are prefabricated in a factory and then transported to the construction site for assembly. As an emerging building system, modular steel structures offer faster construction, lower investment, lower energy consumption, and less demanding construction environments compared to traditional industrial construction systems. Due to their environmentally friendly construction methods, modular construction is becoming a new trend in future architectural development.

[0003] Unlike traditional buildings, modular buildings need to be connected through nodes. Existing connection nodes are mainly aimed at their seismic performance, and there is little research on the performance of nodes during vertical collapse. During the collapse of a building, the nodes will generally be in a compression state, a shear state, and a mixed compression-shear state. Only more reliable connection nodes can make modular buildings less likely to collapse during disasters. Compared with previous research, this application proposes an anti-collapse connection node based on a self-resetting modular steel structure. It is not only simple to construct and has a simple structure between nodes, but also has a self-resetting function and can return to its original state after being loaded, greatly improving the anti-collapse performance of modular buildings.
