Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to civil engineering technical field, concretely is a kind of assembly hierarchical anti-seismic self-resetting metal damper. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of civil engineering, the traditional energy dissipation and seismic mitigation support system is mainly based on the principle of buckling-restrained brace, and its core is to use the plastic yield deformation of the core member under tension and compression to dissipate energy. The energy dissipation efficiency of traditional buckling-restrained brace is only 30%-40%, and the reset ability is almost zero. Although the metal shear type damper can improve to 50%-60%, it lacks hierarchical design, which leads to early failure under moderate earthquake.

[0003] The metal shear energy dissipation mechanism dissipates energy by producing shear plastic deformation in the thickness direction of the metal. By increasing the thickness of the metal, the energy dissipation performance of the component can be greatly improved without significantly increasing the cross-sectional area.

[0004] However, the traditional energy dissipation support system usually lacks self-resetting function. Once the core member yields plastically, it will cause permanent deformation and cannot return to the original position, which leads to the failure of the support system and cannot continue to function. This situation may occur under small earthquakes, which leads to the need to frequently replace the support system, which is not conducive to long-term sustainable use. Traditional energy dissipation support systems often do not have hierarchical seismic function. They are difficult to activate effectively under small earthquakes, and are easily damaged under large earthquakes. At the same time, the internal component design of traditional energy dissipation support is complex, and the internal and external structures are usually a whole, which has high replacement cost after earthquake. Therefore, a kind of assembly hierarchical anti-seismic self-resetting metal damper is needed to meet people's needs. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
