Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of energy dissipation and seismic reduction in civil engineering, particularly relates to a bending-type friction steel truss coupling beam for quick recovery following an earthquake event.

BACKGROUND

Coupling beam is an important seismic energy dissipating member in shear wall and frame-shear wall structure system. It can effectively resist overturning moment by guaranteeing the transfer of force between adjacent wall limbs. Due to the material property limitation, the reinforced concrete coupling beam exhibit relatively weak seismic performance. In recent years, to achieve excellent energy dissipation and ductility performance, the steel structure beam has been proposed. Besides these, steel truss coupling beam has various advantages of steel coupling beam. It has the advantages of saving material, flexible arrangement of the member, convenient replacement, and so on. When the steel truss coupling beam's span height is relatively large, the bending deformation of the steel truss beam mainly concentrates on the chord end under earthquake action. Therefore, steel truss coupling beams dissipate seismic energy mainly through the plastic deformation, and the earthquake input energy is reduced. However, because this deformation is irreversible, it is difficult to repair after an earthquake. It has been proven to be an effective method to reduce the main structure's seismic performance by introducing energy dissipators into the structure. The friction device has the advantages of simple and reasonable friction mechanism, good energy dissipation capacity, less influence by external conditions, convenient manufacture, simple material and easy manufacture, so it has a good development prospect.
