Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of house building truss structures, in particular to an energy-consuming plane truss structure. Background Art

[0002] Parallel chord trusses are widely used in large-span roofs and floors of residential buildings due to their adaptability to large spans and strong load-bearing capacity. Existing conventional parallel chord trusses generally increase their structural seismic resistance by increasing their cross-sections to meet seismic requirements. However, because the truss stiffness is much greater than the stiffness of the frame columns at either end of the truss, the frame columns are prone to hinge formation, failing to meet the "strong column, weak beam" requirement. Furthermore, the "Technical Guidelines for Seismic Resistance Based on Maintaining the Normal Functionality of Buildings," published by the Standards and Norms Research Institute of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, proposes a "floor acceleration" index to protect non-structural components such as suspended ceilings, fixtures, and equipment attached to the main structure during earthquakes. However, existing conventional parallel chord trusses exhibit high structural stiffness, attracting significant seismic forces. Furthermore, their components have weak energy dissipation capacity during earthquakes, failing to effectively dissipate these forces. This results in high structural floor accelerations, making it difficult to effectively protect non-structural components such as suspended ceilings, fixtures, and equipment during earthquakes.

[0033] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides an energy-absorbing plane truss structure, comprising: a truss upper chord 1 and a truss lower chord 2 arranged parallel to each other; and frame columns respectively connected to both ends of the truss upper chord 1 and the truss lower chord 2; and a viscous damper arranged at the connecting position between the truss lower chord and the frame column.

[0034] The frame column includes a first frame column 301 and a second frame column 302, the first frame column 301 is connected to one end of the truss upper chord 1 and the truss lower chord 2, and the second frame column 302 is connected to the other end of the truss upper chord 1 and the truss lower chord 2.

[0035] Specifically, there are two viscous dampers, namely a first viscous damper 401 and a second viscous damper 402. The first viscous damper 401 is arranged between the first frame column 301 and the lower chord 2 of the truss, and the second viscous damper 402 is arranged between the second frame column 302 and the lower chord 2 of the truss.

[0036] The first viscous damper 401 , the first frame column 301 , and the truss lower chord 2 are all hinged, and the second viscous damper 402 , the second frame 302 , and the truss lower chord 2 are all hinged.

[0037] Specifically, a first viscous damper connecting section 5 is provided on the first frame column 301, one end of the first viscous damper 401 is connected to the first viscous damper connecting section 5 through a hinged connection 6, and the other end is connected to the lower chord 2 of the truss through a hinged connection 6; a second viscous damper connecting section 7 is provided on the second frame column 302, one end of the second viscous damper 402 is connected to the second viscous damper connecting section 7 through a hinged connection 6, and the other end is connected to the lower chord 2 of the truss through a hinged connection 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, a plurality of truss webs 8 are provided between the truss upper chord 1 and the truss lower chord 2 which are arranged parallel to each other. The plurality of truss webs 8 are respectively connected to the truss upper chord 1 and the truss lower chord 2. Each of the truss webs 8 is arranged at an angle to the truss upper chord 1 and the truss lower chord 2, and each of the truss webs 8 is also arranged at an angle to each other.

[0039] In this embodiment, viscous dampers are placed at the ends of the lower chord truss where they connect to the frame columns. These dampers are hinged to both the frame columns and the truss. Under earthquake action, the structural components at either end of the viscous damper experience inconsistent displacements and velocities, causing the damper to generate force and deformation, resulting in hysteretic energy dissipation. This hysteretic energy dissipation effectively reduces seismic loads on the main structure, thereby protecting the main structure and associated ancillary equipment.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to study the seismic performance of the energy-absorbing plane truss, the present invention takes a certain truss as the research object. The cross-section, span, seismic action and other parameters of the existing parallel chord truss and the energy-absorbing plane truss of this embodiment are consistent. The calculation diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, earthquake motion is selected for time history calculation, and the seismic performance of the energy-absorbing truss is explained by comparing the relevant seismic response index results of the existing parallel chord truss and the energy-absorbing plane truss.

[0041] Further comparative analysis of the results is as follows:

[0042] (1) Structural deformation and inter-story displacement angle

[0043] Structural deformation and inter-story displacement angle are important indicators for measuring the seismic performance of a structure. The smaller the value, the stronger the structure's lateral resistance and the better the seismic performance. Extract the vertex time history curve of the structure, and the result is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the two vertex time course curves are overlapped and compared, and the results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, it can be found that compared with the traditional truss, the vertex time history of the energy dissipation plane truss provided by this embodiment is greatly reduced, indicating that the deformation of the truss structure under earthquake is effectively controlled through the energy dissipation effect of the damper.

[0044] The vertex displacements of the structure were extracted, and the inter-story drift angles were calculated. The results are shown in the table below. It can be seen that the maximum deformation of the existing parallel-chord truss is 1.63 times that of the energy-dissipating truss. This demonstrates that the energy-dissipating truss of this embodiment can significantly reduce structural deformation and improve its seismic performance.

[0045]

[0046] (2) Structural floor acceleration

[0047] Structural floor acceleration is an indicator that measures the protection performance of the main structure for non-structural components such as ceilings, devices and equipment attached to the main structure. The smaller the value, the better the protection effect of the structure on non-structural components. The time history curves of the structural floor acceleration of the two models are extracted, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the two floor acceleration time history curves are overlapped and compared, and the results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, the maximum acceleration of the existing parallel chord truss floor is 639cm / s 2 , and the maximum acceleration of the energy-absorbing plane truss is 273 cm / s 2 The maximum floor acceleration of existing parallel chord trusses is 2.34 times that of this embodiment. This indicates that the energy-dissipating plane trusses of this embodiment can significantly reduce structural floor acceleration during earthquakes, effectively protecting non-structural components such as suspended ceilings, devices, and equipment, and reducing damage to these non-structural components during earthquakes, resulting in high economic benefits.

[0048] (3) Frame column bending moment

[0049] "Strong columns and weak beams" is an important principle in structural design. Under earthquake action, the smaller the bending moment transmitted from the truss to the frame column, the more the "strong columns and weak beams" effect can be achieved. The bending moment diagrams of the frame columns of the two structures are extracted, and the results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the maximum bending moment at the intersection of the lower chord and column for conventional parallel-chord trusses is 201.9, and the maximum bending moment at the column base is 294.4. However, the corresponding values ​​for the energy-dissipating truss of this embodiment are 44.1 and 57.13, respectively, which are only 21.8% and 19.4% of those of conventional trusses. This demonstrates that the energy-dissipating truss of this embodiment effectively achieves the "strong column, weak beam" effect, effectively improving the structural ductility during earthquakes.

[0050] The above comparative analysis shows that compared with the traditional parallel chord truss structure, the energy-dissipating truss structure of this embodiment has good lateral resistance performance, can effectively achieve the requirement of "strong columns and weak beams", and can effectively reduce the acceleration of the floor under earthquakes, protect non-structural components such as suspended ceilings, devices and equipment, reduce damage to related non-structural components under earthquakes, and have higher economic benefits.
