The invention discloses a rocker bearing water tank
damper, and belongs to the technical field of energy dissipation and
vibration attenuation of
civil engineering structures. The rocker bearing water tank
damper comprises a plurality of rocker sliding support saddles, a water tank, a
damper support
saddle, a box column, and a
viscous damper; each rocker sliding support
saddle comprises an upper support
saddle plate, a
metal ball and a lower support saddle plate; the upper support saddle plate is fixed at the lower surface of the water tank; the lower support saddle plate is fixed on an upper top plate or a
spandrel girder of the structure; the upper saddle plate is opposite to the lower saddle plate; the
metal ball is placed in the middle to achieve oppositely sliding between the upper support saddle plate and the lower support saddle plate; the box column is arranged at the bottom part of the water tank; the damper support saddle is arranged on the upper top plate or the
spandrel girder of the structure; and the
viscous damper is horizontally arranged between the box column and the damper support saddle. By adopting the rocker bearing water tank damper, on one hand, the
adverse effect of a high-level water tank on the structure under the horizontal load is removed; and on the other hand, dynamic response of the structure under the horizontal load is greatly reduced by the formed water tank damping
system. The rocker bearing water tank damper is stable in damping effect, simple in structure, safe and reliable, good in durability, and strong in designability.
