The invention discloses a modularized replaceable self-resetting
energy consumption type bridge
pier anti-
collision system, and belongs to the technical field of
bridge engineering structure safety. The
system includes an annular rubber pad, an annularly disposed
damper module, and a
shape memory alloy (SMA) tow. The
damper module comprises a cylinder body, high-
viscosity fluid, a reset spring, a
piston and a force transmission plate. The cylinder body is fixed to the
pier in a surrounding mode through bolts and rubber pads, the inner wall of the cylinder body is connected with the
piston through a reset spring, the
piston rod end is hinged to the force transmission plates, and the SMA wire bundles are connected with the force transmission plates. When an external
impact load acts on the force transmission plate, the fluid
damper provides viscous
energy consumption, and the SMA wire bundle, the spring and the rubber pad provide deformation
energy consumption; after the collision is finished, the
system can be reset to the initial position under the synergistic effect of the SMA wire bundle, the spring and the rubber pad. By means of the
modular design, efficient energy consumption and self-resetting can be achieved; and meanwhile, a single damper can be quickly replaced after being damaged, so that the maintenance efficiency and the
system recoverability are greatly improved.
