Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a prefabricated assembled beam-column joint, and more particularly to a prefabricated assembled second-order energy-dissipating beam-column joint. Background Technology
[0002] Studies have found that beam-column joints are prone to damage under seismic loads and are difficult to restore after an earthquake. With the development of prefabricated construction, further research has been conducted on the seismic performance of joints: beam-column joints can be weakened by reducing the connecting components to prevent joint failure even if the connecting area is damaged. However, due to the complex connections in the core areas of some joints, replacement is not possible after joint failure. Although prefabricated construction shortens the construction period, ensuring good energy dissipation capacity of joints is crucial and requires further improvement. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a prefabricated assembled second-order energy-dissipating beam-column joint, which ensures that the joint has sufficient energy dissipation capacity, can be replaced after the joint is damaged, shortens the construction cycle, and saves costs.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is to provide a prefabricated assembled second-order energy-dissipating beam-column joint, including pouring core area concrete, the core area concrete being located at the connection between reinforced concrete column and reinforced concrete beam, wherein the core area concrete is provided with column end connecting energy-dissipating plate, beam end connecting energy-dissipating plate and dog bone plate; the reinforced concrete column and column end connecting energy-dissipating plate are connected by cross connecting plate, the reinforced concrete beam and beam end connecting energy-dissipating plate are connected by cross connecting plate, and the beam end connecting energy-dissipating plate and column end connecting energy-dissipating plate are connected by bolts.
[0005] Furthermore, the core concrete pouring area is provided with two horizontally parallel column end connection energy dissipation plates and two vertically parallel beam end connection energy dissipation plates. The column end connection energy dissipation plates and beam end connection energy dissipation plates are provided with a cross on their outward-facing side. The cross is provided with a first bolt hole. One end of the cross connection plate is welded to the end plate on the beam and column. The other end of the cross connection plate is connected to the first bolt hole on the cross by bolts.
[0006] Furthermore, the beam end connecting energy-consuming plate and the column end connecting energy-consuming plate are provided with relatively aligned second bolt holes for bolts to pass through for connection, and the second bolt holes are elliptical bolt holes.
[0007] Furthermore, the dog bone plate is located in the cavity formed by the column end connecting energy dissipation plate and the beam end connecting energy dissipation plate. The dog bone plates are arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns. Three dog bone plates are set on each side of the front and rear rows to form a semi-enclosed structure with the opening facing inward. One dog bone plate is set on each side of the middle row.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the dog bone plate and the column end are welded together with the energy-dissipating plate.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: The prefabricated assembled second-order energy-dissipating beam-column joint provided by this utility model is connected by bolts. In the working state, energy is dissipated in the early stage through bolt friction. In the later stage, as the joint deforms, the energy-dissipating components (dog bone plates) inside the core area enter the working state. Since the joint is connected by bolts, it can be replaced if the joint is damaged. In addition, the use of bolted connections shortens the construction period. Attached Figure Description

The beam end connecting energy-dissipating plate 7 and the column end connecting energy-dissipating plate 8 are connected by bolts 6.
[0021] Please continue reading Figure 2 The prefabricated, assembled, second-order energy-dissipating beam-column joint provided by this utility model includes two horizontally parallel column-end energy-dissipating plates 8 and two vertically parallel beam-end energy-dissipating plates 7 within the poured core concrete area 5. A cross 12 is provided on the outward-facing side of the column-end energy-dissipating plates 8 and the beam-end energy-dissipating plates 7. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown; the cross 12 is provided with a first bolt hole 10, one end of the cross connecting plate 2 is welded to the end plate 4 on the beam column, and one end of the cross connecting plate 2 is connected to the first bolt hole 10 on the cross 12 by bolts 6.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the beam-end connecting energy-dissipating plate 7 and the column-end connecting energy-dissipating plate 8 are provided with aligned second bolt holes 11 for bolts 6 to pass through for connection.

[0023] The prefabricated, assembled, second-order energy-dissipating beam-column joint provided by this utility model has the following energy dissipation mechanism: Under seismic load, the first-order energy dissipation mainly offsets part of the seismic force through the frictional force between the bolts 6 and the energy-dissipating plates 7 and 8 connected to the beam end and column end, respectively. The bolt holes are elliptical. The second-order energy dissipation mainly occurs through the dog-bone plates 9 in the core area of the joint.
