AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing seismic frames in steel frame structures face limitations in accommodating openings like windows or verandas due to the X-shaped or K-shaped configurations, requiring precise welding and high-strength bolts, which are time-consuming and costly, and restrict the size and position of these openings.

Method used

A seismic-resistant frame is designed with square steel pipes and flat steel plates welded in an M-shape configuration, allowing for narrower lateral width and enabling larger openings by using butt-welding techniques to connect braces and columns efficiently.

Benefits of technology

The M-shaped frame allows for increased opening sizes in steel structures while maintaining structural integrity, reducing assembly time and costs through high-precision manufacturing in a factory setting.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a seismic frame for installation on floors above the second floor in a steel frame structure.

Background Art

[0002] The framework used in a steel frame structure mainly consists of steel columns and beams, and braces or trusses are additionally provided as needed.

[0003] Braces and trusses reinforce the steel frame structure, and for buildings with high seismic resistance requirements, reinforcing materials such as braces and trusses are frequently used.

[0004] Conventionally, for braces installed in the area surrounded by the upper and lower beams of a steel frame structure and two steel columns, the ends of the braces are connected to gusset plates welded and attached to the opposing column sides (the upper part of one column and the lower part of the other column) with high-strength bolts and fixed in an X shape to form an X-shaped seismic frame, or a K-shaped seismic frame in which two braces in the frame are arranged in a K shape has been adopted.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In the case of the X-shaped seismic frame, since braces (generally made of round bars or flat steel plates) are arranged in an X shape between two columns, when it is desired to provide an opening such as a window or a veranda between the two columns, there are restrictions on the position and size where the window or veranda can be installed.

[0006] Furthermore, the diameter of the undersize holes for high-strength bolts formed in the gusset plates and braces has conventionally required high precision of about 1 mm plus the bolt diameter in order to minimize the rattling of the gusset plates and braces. Therefore, the work of accurately welding and joining the gusset plates to the column sides requires skilled techniques and time, resulting in problems such as increased time and costs.

[0007] In the case of the K-shaped seismic-resistant frame, since the fixing parts of the two braces are limited to the upper and lower ends of one column and the central part of the other column, problems such as having to widen the frame spacing between the left and right or use a sturdy brace member in order to enhance the seismic resistance have occurred.

[0008] This invention has been made in view of the above problems, and by producing a seismic-resistant frame using jigs in a factory, a high-precision seismic-resistant frame is manufactured. Also, in order to form wide and large openings such as windows and entrances in a steel structure, it is an object of the present invention to provide a seismic-resistant frame that is formed to be narrow in width and compact.

[0009] Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a compact and strong seismic-resistant frame by welding a brace formed of a square steel pipe in a sandwich shape between two plates welded to the opposing column side surfaces of two columns on the left and right.
