Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to an earthquake-resistant frame for installation on the first floor of a steel frame structure. [Background technology]

[0002] The framework used in steel-frame construction is primarily made up of steel columns and beams, with braces and trusses added as needed to strengthen earthquake resistance.

[0003] Braces and trusses are used to reinforce steel structures, and reinforcing materials such as braces and trusses are widely used in buildings that require high earthquake resistance.

[0004] Conventionally, for braces installed in an area surrounded by the upper and lower beams of a steel frame structure and two steel columns, X-shaped earthquake-resistant frames have been used, in which both ends of the brace are connected to gusset plates welded to the opposing sides of the two columns (the top of one column and the bottom of the other) with high-strength bolts to secure them in an X shape, and K-shaped earthquake-resistant frames have been used, in which two braces within the frame are arranged in a K shape. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the case of the X-shaped earthquake-resistant frame, braces (generally made from round bars or flat steel plates) are arranged in an X shape between two columns, so if you want to create an opening such as a window or entrance between the two columns, there are restrictions on the location and size of the window or entrance.

[0006] Furthermore, the diameter of the pilot holes for the high-strength bolts formed in the gusset plates and braces has traditionally required a high level of precision, approximately 1mm larger than the bolt diameter, to minimize play between the brace and gusset plate. As a result, the process of accurately welding the gusset plates to the side of the columns requires skilled techniques and time, which has led to problems such as increased time and costs.

[0007] Furthermore, in the case of the K-type earthquake-resistant frame, the fixing points of the two braces are limited to the upper and lower ends of one column and the center of the other column, which creates the problem that in order to increase earthquake resistance, the spacing between the left and right frames must be made wider or sturdy brace members must be used.

[0008] This invention was made in consideration of the above problems, and aims to manufacture high-precision earthquake-resistant frames by producing them in a factory using jigs, and to provide an earthquake-resistant frame that is narrow and compact in width so that openings such as windows and doorways in steel-framed structures can be made wide and large.

[0009] Furthermore, the objective of this invention is to provide a compact and strong earthquake-resistant frame by sandwiching braces made of square steel pipes between two plates welded to the opposing side surfaces of two left and right columns.

[0010] Furthermore, the objective is to provide an earthquake-resistant frame that is strong and has very little deformation by welding the flange surface of the lower beam frame formed from H-shaped steel to the lower ends of the two left and right columns. [Means for solving the problem]
