AI Technical Summary
In existing building vibration reduction technologies, buckling-resistance braces cannot recover after plastic deformation, self-resetting braces have insufficient reset force, friction-type energy dissipation devices age, and dual-system support connections are complex with poor coupling between the energy dissipation system and the reset system, resulting in numerous node connectors, large installation space, and short lifespan.
A self-resetting energy-dissipating support device is adopted, including an energy-dissipating unit and a self-resetting unit. It utilizes energy-dissipating SMA rods, high-strength tie rods, nested sleeve structures, and CFRP prestressed tendons. Through the design of inner and outer sleeve sliding and prestressed tendons, the support achieves self-resetting and energy-dissipating functions.
It achieves complete self-resetting of the support, reduces production and processing costs and construction difficulty, improves elongation capacity, avoids aging problems of friction energy dissipation devices, and simplifies the connection structure.
