Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a Z-shaped friction damping column structure with enhanced seismic performance, belonging to the field of warehousing equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] In current seismic design of steel racks, stress ratio and displacement control requirements are usually met by increasing the stiffness of the components. However, increasing the overall structural stiffness will inevitably lead to aggravated seismic dynamic response, accelerate the plastic damage rate of the racks, and make the acceleration response of the rack system more prominent, greatly increasing the risk of goods slipping off under seismic impact.
[0003] Currently, the vibration reduction design of steel racks mainly employs rubber bearings for buffering or the installation of dampers on local components. This allows the structure to achieve higher initial stiffness, maintaining its elastic state under lower levels of seismic loads. Simultaneously, under higher levels of seismic load impact, the damping energy dissipation devices first enter an inelastic state, thus protecting the main structural components from plastic deformation. Related research indicates that under seismic loads, the deformation and plastic hinge degree in the top and bottom regions of the rack structure are more severe, meaning that under subsequent or even stronger seismic impacts, the plastic hinge degree in these weak points is likely to worsen further, ultimately leading to continuous structural collapse. Furthermore, in seismic environments, the insufficient dynamic stiffness of the Z-shaped column structure intensifies the rack's sway perpendicular to the aisle, inducing cargo slippage. Therefore, corresponding improvement measures are needed to address these weak points, namely, installing damping devices at the top and bottom of the rack structure to improve the overall dynamic stability of the rack.
