Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building structure technology, and in particular, it designs a shear key node for steel hollow sandwich floor slabs. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, large-span floor slabs have become increasingly common in buildings such as schools and cultural and entertainment facilities. These floor slabs house functions such as lecture halls and sports fields beneath them, prohibiting vertical structural members in the middle, while the floor itself contains other accessible functional rooms. Unlike traditional non-accessible floor slabs that utilize truss or space frame structures, the loads on these floor slabs are significantly greater. Therefore, in the 1990s, scholars proposed a steel hollow-core sandwich floor slab structure system.

[0003] The system consists of vertical shear keys, horizontal upper and lower ribs, and a surface concrete slab. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an existing steel hollow mezzanine floor slab. The vertical shear key mainly bears shear force and consists of a rectangular steel tube and an outer rectangular steel plate along its length.

[0004] The traditional method of using shear keys with rectangular stiffening plates has the following main problems: First, the connection between the upper and lower ribs and the rectangular steel plate is at a right angle, which easily leads to stress concentration; second, welding the rectangular steel plate and shear key on site can cause residual stress due to construction errors, which has an adverse effect on the structure; third, the bending moment in the middle of the shear key is zero, so the rectangular steel plate cannot play a significant role in the middle part, resulting in some waste. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the problems of the prior art and disclose a shear key node for steel hollow sandwich floor slabs. Through the shear key node structural design of this application, the strength of the structural node is effectively strengthened and the safety and reliability of the structure are improved.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A shear key joint for steel hollow sandwich floor slabs, the shear key joint comprising: a rectangular tube, a top triangular steel plate and a bottom triangular steel plate, wherein the top triangular steel plate and the bottom triangular steel plate are right-angled isosceles triangles;

[0008] The two ends of the rectangular tube are respectively connected to the upper and lower ribs of the steel hollow sandwich floor slab;

[0009] The two right-angled sides of the top triangular steel plate are connected to the rectangular tube and the upper rib, respectively;

[0010] The two right-angled sides of the triangular steel plate on the bottom side are connected to the rectangular tube and the lower rib, respectively.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment, the right-angled sides of the top and bottom triangular steel plates are 1 / 3 of the distance between the upper and lower ribs.

[0012] According to a preferred embodiment, the top triangular steel plate and the bottom triangular steel plate are pre-welded to the rectangular tube.

[0013] According to a preferred embodiment, the top triangular steel plate is connected to the upper rib by welding.

[0014] According to a preferred embodiment, the bottom triangular steel plate is connected to the lower rib by welding.

[0015] According to a preferred embodiment, the two ends of the rectangular tube are welded to the upper rib and the lower rib, respectively.

[0016] According to a preferred embodiment, the upper rib and the lower rib are made of H-shaped steel structure or T-shaped steel structure.

[0017] The aforementioned main solution of this utility model and its various further alternative solutions can be freely combined to form multiple solutions, all of which are solutions that can be adopted by this utility model and for which protection is sought. Those skilled in the art, after understanding the solution of this utility model, will realize, based on existing technology and common knowledge, that there are many combinations, all of which are technical solutions to be protected by this utility model; therefore, they are not exhaustively listed here.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. For the shear key joint steel structure system of this application, the strength of the structural joint can be effectively strengthened, and the safety and reliability of the structure can be improved;

[0020] 2. In this application, a triangular steel plate is used in the shear key node. The length of the right-angled side of the steel plate is 1 / 3 of the net height of the shear key. The triangular steel plate forms an obtuse angle with the upper rib, the lower rib and the shear key rectangular tube, which can effectively reduce the stress concentration of the weld.

[0021] 3. By changing the dimensions of the triangular steel, the shear key node of this application can be applied to steel hollow mezzanine floor slabs with different cross-sectional dimensions.

[0022] 4. The construction process of the shear key joint in this application is easy to implement. After the shear key joint is welded in the factory, it is transported to the site for overall structural welding and assembly, which reduces residual stress caused by construction errors.

[0023] 5. Compared with the traditional connection method of rectangular tube and rectangular steel plate, the shear key node of this application saves more materials and is more economical. Attached Figure Description
