This utility model discloses a tiered energy-dissipating anti-ship
collision system based on
metamaterial structures, including an ultra-
high performance concrete panel, a tiered energy-dissipating anti-collision layer, a rubber
fender, bridge piers, bridge abutments, and bridge
pile foundations. The tiered energy-dissipating anti-collision layer includes
variable stiffness units, lightweight energy-dissipating materials, vertical
steel plates, an upper top plate, and a lower bottom plate. The
variable stiffness unit is composed of multiple concave hexagonal units connected by transverse and longitudinal
steel plates, with the hollow structure in the middle filled with lightweight energy-dissipating materials such as
polyurethane foam, ceramsite, and rubber granules that can absorb and disperse
impact energy. The
variable stiffness units are welded to the
steel plates to form a whole, and the protective device is connected to the protected bridge
pier through the rubber
fender. The overall stiffness of the protective device increases with
structural deformation upon
impact, thus this utility model has a variable stiffness tiered energy-dissipating anti-collision effect, effectively prolonging the collision time between the ship and the bridge and reducing the
impact force of the ship, achieving two-way protection for both the ship and the bridge.
