The utility model discloses a damping cable
saddle which comprises a
saddle body used for fixing a main cable. The base is connected with the main
tower; wherein a mounting groove is formed in the base, the
saddle body is arranged in the mounting groove, a lubricating structure is arranged between the bottom face of the saddle body and the mounting groove, buffering
energy consumption pieces are arranged between the saddle body and bosses at the two ends of the mounting groove, and the two ends of the buffering
energy consumption pieces make contact with the bosses and the saddle body correspondingly. The saddle body is further connected with the bosses at the two ends of the installation groove through pre-tightening structures. The saddle body and the base are connected through the pre-tightening structure, when a strong earthquake occurs, the pre-tightening structure is damaged firstly, the saddle body and the base are separated, the saddle body moves under the action of
earthquake energy of the main cable and extrudes the buffering energy dissipation piece, namely, the buffering energy dissipation piece arranged between the saddle body and the base can absorb part of the
earthquake energy, and therefore the buffering energy dissipation piece can absorb part of the
earthquake energy.
Earthquake energy transmitted to the main
tower is reduced, namely, the rigidity requirement and the construction cost of the main
tower can be effectively reduced, and meanwhile, the safety of the suspension bridge is facilitated.
