Description

Hybrid anti-collapse beam device and method of use thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of bridge shock absorption, and more particularly relates to a hybrid anti-collapse beam device and a method of use thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the highway bridge system in China, small and medium span bridges account for a considerable proportion. However, such bridges are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquakes, and the phenomenon of beam collapse is particularly prominent. Once the beam collapses, the beam end hits the pier or abutment, which not only can cause damage to the local structure, but also can even cause the collapse of the entire bridge, resulting in huge economic losses and social impact. During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the beam collapse of Baihua Bridge was a typical example, which led to the collapse of the bridge pier, the cracking of the beam, and the serious damage of the abutment.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop effective anti-collapse beam devices to improve the safety and reliability of bridge structures. According to the different working principles, the anti-collapse beam devices are mainly divided into two categories: limiting devices and damping limiting devices. Limiting devices, such as cable or steel rod limiters, are known for their high strength and strong anti-collapse beam capacity, which can effectively prevent the beam collapse of the bridge in the earthquake and protect the integrity of the bridge structure. Damping limiting devices, such as friction dampers, dissipate seismic energy through friction, effectively suppressing the vibration response of the bridge, and are favored for their strong energy dissipation capacity, stable performance, and low cost. In addition to single-function devices, there are also hybrid devices that combine limiting and damping functions. Such devices not only can effectively prevent the beam collapse of the bridge superstructure, but also perform well in energy dissipation efficiency and anti-collapse beam capacity, providing more comprehensive protection for the seismic safety of the bridge.

[0004] However, in actual engineering applications, the existing anti-collapse beam devices still have some problems: (1) Limiting devices, including cable or steel rod limiters, although have been applied in many countries and regions, often only use their elastic properties to prevent beam collapse, and do not have energy dissipation function; (2) Damping limiting devices, including friction damping limiting devices, have good energy dissipation capacity, but have small ultimate bearing capacity and weak anti-collapse beam function, and the traditional structure of friction dampers is difficult to combine with limiting devices, making it difficult to apply to bridge anti-collapse beam scenarios; (3) The existing hybrid limiting devices have complex design, high manufacturing cost, are prone to failure, and have high maintenance cost.

6. The anti-collapse device according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein, The rigging (4) is mainly prepared from rust-proof metal parts.

7. The fall prevention device of claim 6, wherein, The rigging (4) comprises a steel wire rope, both ends of the steel wire rope are tightly sleeved outside the first bolt (31) and the second bolt (32) through a steel wire rope clamp, and the contact area between the steel wire rope and the first bolt (31) and the second bolt (32) is provided with rubber material.

8. The anti-collapse device of any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein, The first ear plate (12) is a U-shaped plate, and the first joint bearing (121) is arranged at the center of the semicircular end of one end thereof; the first ear plate (12) is at least one.

9. The anti-collapse device of any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein, The second ear plate (22) is a U-shaped plate, and the through hole is arranged at the center of the semicircular end of one end thereof; the second ear plate (22) is at least two, and a plurality of the second ear plates (22) are parallel to each other.

10. A method of using a hybrid buckling restraining device, implemented using the buckling restraining device of any one of claims 1-9, wherein, The method comprises the following steps: S1: check the structural stability of the first connecting piece (1), the second connecting piece (2), the limiting part and the energy consumption part to ensure normal installation and use; S2: respectively arrange the first connecting piece (1) and the second connecting piece (2) on the bridge pier and the upper structure of the bridge at appropriate positions, then connect the rigging (4) and the energy consumption part with the first connecting piece (1) and the second connecting piece (2) through the first bolt (31) and the second bolt (32) respectively, that is, complete the installation of the anti-falling beam device; S3: during the service of the anti-falling beam device, when a small or medium level earthquake is encountered, the first connecting piece (1) and the second connecting piece (2) move relatively, so that the front and rear rotating plates (51) and the middle rotating plate (51) rotate relative to the connecting assembly (52), thereby reducing the vibration response of the bridge; S4: when a large level earthquake is encountered, the front and rear rotating plates (51) and the middle rotating plate (51) reach the maximum angle with the connecting assembly (52) as the vertex, and the rigging (4) connected with the first bolt (31) and the second bolt (32) respectively changes from a relaxed state to a limit state of being tightly stretched, and the limiting part provides a limit bearing capacity. S5: During the service of the anti-collapse device, the anti-collapse device is monitored in real time through the pre-tightening bolt (524) in the connecting assembly (52), reducing the difficulty of maintenance.
