Column structure and base member

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a column structure with a column member joined to the upper side of a base member, and to a base member that has an upper side for joining to a column member.

BACKGROUND ART

Japanese Patent Application Publication (JP-B) No. H6-19147 discloses a column base structure. In this column base structure, a base plate is joined to anchor bolts that are buried in a concrete foundation. A column is joined to the base plate, and the center of a projected outline of the column with respect to the horizontal plane is offset with respect to the center of a projected outline of the base plate with respect to the horizontal plane. In this column base structure, an out-of-plane deformation prevention means is provided to the base plate on the opposite side to the side to which the column is offset. The out-of-plane deformation prevention means is configured by washers, anchor bolts, or ribs. When bending moment arises in the column, the out-of-plane deformation prevention means prevents the base plate from undergoing out-of-plane deformation so as to deform such that the upper face projects out.

In the above column base structure, the column is offset and joined to the base plate, necessitating the out-of-plane deformation prevention means. The column base structure becomes more complicated as a result, leaving room for improvement.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

In the column structure of the first aspect of the present invention, the column member that is integrally provided with the flanges at each of two width direction sides of the web is joined to the upper side of the base member. The lower end sides of the first anchor member and the second anchor member are fixed to the foundation, and the base member is fixed to the upper end sides of the first anchor member and the second anchor member.

The upper end side of the first anchor member is fixed to the base member at one width direction end side of the web, or at one width direction end side of the flange. The upper end side of the second anchor member is fixed to the base member at the other width direction end side of the web, or at the other width direction end side of the flange, and the tensile strength of the second anchor member is higher than the tensile strength of the first anchor member. For example, when horizontal direction force acts on the column member from the other end side toward the one end side of the base member, a larger vertical direction tensile axial force arises at the other end side of the base member than at the one end side of the base member. Such a large tensile axial force is effectively suppressed by the second anchor member that has higher tensile strength. The column seat bending strength of the column structure can accordingly be raised by the simple configuration in which the tensile strength of the second anchor member is raised.

In the column structure of the second aspect of the present invention, the shaft diameter of the second anchor member is formed larger than the shaft diameter of the first anchor member. The tensile strength of the second anchor member can accordingly be raised, and the column seat bending strength of the column structure can be raised, by the simple configuration in which the shaft diameter is increased.

In the column structure of the third aspect of the present invention, the second anchor member is formed from a material with higher tensile strength than the first anchor member material. The tensile strength of the second anchor member can accordingly be raised, and the column seat bending strength of the column structure can be raised, by the simple configuration in which a material with higher tensile strength is employed.

In the column structure of the fourth aspect of the present invention, there is a greater number of the second anchor member formed than that of the first anchor member. The tensile strength of the second anchor member can accordingly be raised, and the column seat bending strength of the column structure can be raised, by the simple configuration in which the number of the second anchor member is increased.

In the column structure of the fifth aspect of the present invention, the first anchor member or the second anchor member includes the first anchor bolt and the second anchor bolt. The upper end side of the first anchor bolt is fixed to the base member at the opposite side of the flange to the web side. The upper end side of the second anchor bolt is fixed to the base member further toward the web width direction inside than the first anchor bolt. Since the second anchor bolt is disposed closer to the flange than the first anchor bolt, the distance between the column member and the second anchor bolt is reduced. The thickness of the base member is determined by the tensile strength of the second anchor bolt and the distance between the second anchor bolt and the column member. The thickness of the base member can accordingly be reduced due to reducing the distance between the second anchor bolt and the column member.

In the column structure of the sixth aspect of the present invention, the first anchor bolt is disposed at the inside of the building, and the second anchor member is disposed at the outside of the building. For example, when horizontal direction force acts on the column member from the building outside toward the building inside, a larger vertical direction tensile axial force arises in the second anchor member that is at the building outside. Such a large tensile axial force is effectively suppressed by the second anchor member that has high tensile strength. The column seat bending strength of the column structure can accordingly be raised by the simple configuration in which the strength of the second anchor member is raised.

In the column structure of the seventh aspect of the present invention, the column member that is integrally provided with the flange at each of two width direction sides of the web is joined to the upper side of the base member. The lower end sides of the first anchor member and the second anchor member are fixed to the foundation, and the base member is fixed to the upper end sides of the first anchor member and the second anchor member.

The first anchor member and the second anchor member have equivalent tensile strength to one another, the upper end side of the first anchor member is fixed to the one end side of the base member, and the upper end side of the second anchor member is fixed to the other end side of the base member. The center position of the column member is offset in the web width direction, or in the flange width direction, thereby reinforcing the base member with the column member at the offset location of the column member. For example, when horizontal direction force acts on the column member from the opposite side to the offset direction of the column member, a large vertical direction tensile axial force arises in the column member at the base member at the column member offset location. Such a large tensile axial force is effectively suppressed by the reinforced location of the base member where the column member is offset. The column seat bending strength of the column structure can accordingly be raised by the simple configuration in which the column member is offset and joined to the base member.

In the column structure of the eighth aspect of the present invention the second anchor member upper end side is fixed to the base member at the web side of the flange, thereby enabling a location on the opposite side of the flange to the web side to be omitted at the other end side of the base member. The center position of the column member can accordingly be simply offset with respect to the center position of the base member, since the center position of the base member is moved toward the one end side of the base member with respect to the center position of the column member.

The column member of the ninth aspect of the present invention the base member includes the cutaway portion, thereby enabling a location of the base member corresponding to the cutaway to be omitted, enabling a reduction in weight of the base member.

In the column structure of the tenth aspect of the present invention, the base member includes the first base member that is joined to one of the flanges and the second base member that is joined to the other of the flanges, and the first base member and the second base member are at a separation to each other. A location of the base member between the first base member and the second base member can accordingly be omitted, reducing the weight of the base member.

In the base member of the eleventh aspect of the present invention the column member that is integrally provided with the flange at each of two width direction sides of the web is joined to the upper side of the base body. The lower end sides of the first anchor member and the second anchor member are fixed to the foundation, and the upper end side of the first anchor member is fixed to the first fixing portion of the base body, and the upper end side of the second anchor member is fixed to the second fixing portion of the base body.

The upper end side of the first anchor member is fixed to the first fixing portion at one width direction end side of the web, or at one width direction end side of the flange. The upper end side of the second anchor member is fixed to the second fixing portion of the base body at the web other width direction end side, or at the flange other width direction end side, and the tensile strength of the second anchor member is higher than the tensile strength of the first anchor member. For example, when horizontal direction force acts on the column member from the other end side toward the one end side of the base body, a larger vertical direction tensile axial force arises on the column member at the other end side than at the one end side of the base body. Such a large tensile axial force is effectively suppressed by the second anchor member that is fixed to the second fixing portion and has high tensile strength. The column seat bending strength of a column structure can accordingly be raised by the simple configuration in which the second anchor member with high tensile strength is fixed to the second fixing portion of the base body.

In the base member of the twelfth aspect of the present invention, the column member that is integrally provided with the flanges at each of two width direction sides of the web is joined to the upper side of the base body. The lower end sides of the first anchor member and the second anchor member are fixed to the foundation, and the upper end side of the first anchor member is fixed to the first fixing portion of the base body, and the upper end side of the second anchor member is fixed to the second fixing portion of the base body.

The first anchor member and the second anchor member have equivalent tensile strength to one another, the upper end side of the first anchor member is fixed to the first fixing portion of the base body, and the upper end side of the second anchor member is fixed to the second fixing portion of the base body. The center position of the column member is offset in the web width direction, or in the flange width direction, and the base body is reinforced by the column member at the offset location of the column member. For example, when horizontal direction force acts on the column member from the opposite side to the offset direction of the column member, a large vertical direction tensile axial force arises on the column member at the base body at the offset location of the column member. Such a large tensile axial force is effectively suppressed by the location of the base body reinforced by the offset column member. The column seat bending strength of the column structure can accordingly be raised by the simple configuration in which the column member is joined to the base body at an offset.

In the base member of the thirteenth aspect of the present invention, the base body includes the cutaway portion, thereby enabling a location of the base body corresponding to the cutaway to be omitted, and reducing the weight of the base body.

In the base member of the fourteenth aspect of the present invention, the base body includes the first base body that is joined to the one of the flanges, and the second base body that is joined to the other of the flanges. The first base body and the second base body are disposed at a separation to each other. A location of the base member between the first base body and the second base body can accordingly be omitted, reducing the weight of the base member.

The steel column 30 is, in the present exemplary embodiment, formed from H-section steel, and includes a web 30A and a pair of flanges 30B that are integrally provided at the two width direction ends of the web 30A. The web 30A of the steel column 30 is formed in an elongated rectangular flat plate shape with its width direction running along the arrow WH direction and its length direction running along the arrow UP direction. The pair of flanges 30B are each formed in an elongated rectangular flat plate shape with their width directions running along the arrow FH direction and with their length directions running along the arrow UP direction. The two ends of the web 30A are integrally joined to width direction central portions of the flanges 30B. The steel column 30 is, for example formed from a rolled structural steel for use in construction as defined by JIS specification G3136, a rolled steel for use in welded structures as defined by JIS specification G3106, or a rolled steel for use in general purpose structures as defined by JIS specification G3101.

Note that normally there are plural of the column structures 10 provided in a building. Although not illustrated in the drawings, foundation beams span across between lower end portions of the steel columns 30 of adjacent column structures 10, so as to arrange the main foundation beam layout.

The first anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 24 serving as the first anchor members are fixed to the base plate 16A on the building inside. The first fixing hole 20A, the first fixing hole 20B, the second fixing hole 20C and the second fixing hole 20D (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) serving as the second anchor members of the base member 16 are disposed on the building outside (left hand side). The first anchor bolts 28 and the second anchor bolts 26 serving as the second anchor members are fixed to the base plate 16A on the building outside.

The column structure 10 illustrated on the right hand side in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 is configured so as to be rotated through 180 degrees with respect to the left hand side column structure 10 about a center axial line, not illustrated in the drawings, that runs in the arrow UP direction of the building. Namely, in the right hand side column structure 10, the first fixing hole 18A, the first fixing hole 18B the second fixing hole 18C, and the second fixing hole 18D serving as the first fixing portions of the base member 16 are disposed on the building inside (left hand side). The first anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 24 serving as the first anchor members are fixed to the base plate 16A on the building inside. The first fixing hole 20A, the first fixing hole 20B, the second fixing hole 20C and the second fixing hole 20D serving as the second fixing portions of the base member 16 are disposed on the building outside (right hand side). The first anchor bolts 28 and the second anchor bolts 26 serving as the second anchor members are fixed to the base plate 16A on the building outside.

Note that as illustrated in FIG. 3, a first beam member 32, a second beam member 34, and a third beam member 36 are provided between the left hand side column structure 10 and the right hand side column structure 10 so as to partition each story. One end portion on the left side of the first beam member 32 is joined to the steel column 30 of the left hand side column structure 10 using arc welding or bolt fastening, and the other end portion on the right side of the first beam member 32 is joined to the steel column 30 of the right hand side column structure 10 by similar joining means. In the present exemplary embodiment, an H-section steel beam integrally provided with flanges 32B at both width direction (arrow UP direction) ends of a web 32A is employed as the first beam member 32. Both end portions of the second beam member 34 are similarly joined to the respective steel columns 30 of the left and right side column structures 10, and both end portions of the third beam member 36 are joined to the respective steel columns 30 of the left and right side column structures 10. An H-section steel beam with a web 34A and flanges 34B is employed for the second beam member 34, and an H-section steel beam with a web 36A and flanges 36B is employed for the third beam member 36. Note that the first beam member 32, the second beam member 34, and the third beam member 36 may also be formed from beam members such as I-section steel beams or square section steel beams.

Operation and Advantageous Effects of the First Exemplary Embodiment

As illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the steel column 30 integrally provided with the flanges 30B at both width direction end portions of the web 30A is joined to the upper side of the base plate 16A. The lower end sides of the first anchor members and the second anchor members are fixed to the foundation 12, and the base plate 16A is fixed to the upper end sides of the first anchor members and the second anchor members.

The upper end sides of the first anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 24 serving as the first anchor members are fixed to the base plate 16A at one width direction end side of the web 30A. The upper end sides of the first anchor bolts 28 and the second anchor bolts 26 serving as the second anchor members are fixed to the base plate 16A at the other width direction end side of the web 30A. The tensile strength of the first anchor bolts 28 of the second anchor members is higher than the tensile strength of the first anchor bolts 24 of the first anchor members.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when a force F due to an earthquake or the like acting from the left hand side toward the right hand side in the arrow WH direction (horizontal direction) arises at the outer periphery of the building, at the left hand side column structure 10 of the building on which the force F acts, the greatest tensile axial force St arises at the flange 30B on the steel column 30 outside. At the right hand side column structure 10 of the building, the greatest compression axial force Sp arises at the flange 30B on the steel column 30 outside. In the event of an earthquake, the direction of the force F alternates back and forth, such that the tensile axial force St and the compression axial force Sp act alternately at the flange 30B of the left hand side column structure 10 as the compression axial force Sp and the tensile axial force St act alternately at the flange 30B of the right hand side column structure 10.

FIG. 5 illustrates a relationship between the axial force (N) arising in the steel column 30 and column seat bending strength (N) in the column structure 10. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the column seat bending strength with respect to compression axial force arising in the steel column 30 is high, however the column seat bending strength with respect to tensile axial force in the steel column 30 is weak. There is accordingly a need to increase the column seat bending strength with respect to tensile axial force. Note that the region B surrounded by the broken line is the range of axial forces arising in a typical building, and there is a tendency toward weak column seat bending strength with respect to tensile axial force even within the region B.

In the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B serving as the second fixing portions in the base plate 16A on the building outside are configured with enlarged diameters. In addition, the first anchor bolts 28 serving as second anchor members configured with greater tensile strength than the first anchor members are provided through the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B. Namely, second fixing portions of the base plate 16A are provided with the second anchor members that have high tensile strength, the second anchor members thereby effectively suppressing a large tensile axial force from acting in the steel column 30. The column seat bending strength of the column structure 10 can accordingly be raised by the simple configuration in which the tensile strength of the second anchor members, and in particular of the first anchor bolts 28, is raised.

As illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment the shaft diameter of the first anchor bolts 28 of the second anchor members is formed larger than the shaft diameter of the first anchor bolts 24 of the first anchor members. The tensile strength of the first anchor bolts 28 can accordingly be raised, and the column seat bending strength of the column structure 10 can be raised, by the simple configuration in which the shaft diameter of the first anchor bolts 28 is increased.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the base plate 16A is fixed to the upper end portions 24C of the second anchor bolts 24 of the first anchor members provided on the width direction inside of the web 30A. Similarly, the base plate 16A is fixed to the upper end portions 26C of the second anchor bolts 26 of the second anchor members provided on the width direction inside of the web 30A. As illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the second anchor bolts 24 are brought closer to the flange 30B of the steel column 30, to give a small separation distance L between the flange 30B and the second anchor bolts 24. There is similarly a small separation distance between the flange 30B and the second anchor bolts 26. Explanation here focuses on the first anchor member side only. Increasing the total number of the first anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 24 provided to the base plate 16A (or increasing the total number of the holes of the first fixing hole 18A, the first fixing hole 18B, the second fixing hole 18C and the second fixing hole 18D) necessitates an increase in the thickness (up-down direction thickness dimension) t of the base plate 16A.

The total number of the first anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 24 provided at the periphery of one of the flanges 30B of the base plate 16A is denoted n. In the present exemplary embodiment, n equals 4. The yield tensile strength in the axial direction of the i^thfirst anchor bolt 24 or the second anchor bolt 24 in the arrow FH direction is denoted Ti. The arrow WH direction separation distance between the center axis of the i^thfirst anchor bolt 24 or second anchor bolt 24 and the flange 30B is denoted Li. Moreover, the arrow FH direction dimension of the base plate 16A (width dimension) is denoted B, the thickness of the base plate 16A is denoted t, and the yield point of the base plate 16A material is denoted σ. In this case, the base plate 16A conforms to the following relationship expression (1).

$\sum_{i = 1}^{n} TiLi \leq B (t^{2} / 6) σ$

In the above relationship expression, reducing the separation distance Li on the left side reduces the thickness t on the right side. Namely, in the present exemplary embodiment, by actively reducing the separation distance Li, the thickness of the base plate 16A can be made thinner. The material costs of the base plate 16A can be reduced, thereby enabling a saving in material costs and manufacturing costs of the column structure 10.

Moreover, in the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the first anchor bolts 24 of the first anchor members are disposed on the building inside, and the first anchor bolts 28 of the second anchor members are disposed on the building outside. For example, when a tensile axial force arises in the steel column 30, the larger tensile axial force arises on the building outside of the steel column 30. The location (on the second fixing portion side) where tensile axial force acts in the base plate 16A is fixed by the first anchor bolts 28 of the second anchor members that have high tensile strength. The large tensile axial force is thereby suppressed by the high tensile strength first anchor bolts 28, thereby enabling the column seat bending strength of the column structure 10 to be raised.

Moreover, in the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the indented portions 22 are provided at the base plate 16A lower side. The mortar 14 fills the indented portions 22, and the base plate 16A is anchored to the foundation 12 through the mortar 14. Thus when horizontal load arises such as during an earthquake, displacement of the base member 16 with respect to the foundation 12 can be suppressed. This thereby enables the shear capacity of the column structure 10 and the base member 16 to be raised since shear stress is suppressed from being transmitted from the steel column 30 to the foundation 12 through the base plate 16A and the first anchor members and second anchor members.

Note that in the column structure 10 and the base member 16 of the present exemplary embodiment, the tensile strength is raised on the other end side with respect to the one end side in the arrow WH direction (web 30A width direction) of the base plate 16A illustrated in FIG. 2. In the present exemplary embodiment, the tensile strength may be raised on the other end side with respect to one end side in the arrow FH direction (flanges 30B width direction) of the base plate 16A. In such cases, the force F acting on the building acts in the arrow FH direction.

Moreover, in the present exemplary embodiment the tensile strength is raised by the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B of the second fixing portions and the first anchor bolts 28 of the second anchor members. In addition, the diameter of the second fixing hole 20C and the second fixing hole 20D of the second fixing portions may be increased, and the shaft diameter of the second anchor bolts 26 may be increased, thereby increasing the overall tensile strength of the second fixing portions and also of the second anchor members.

Second Exemplary Embodiment

Explanation follows regarding a column structure and base member according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present invention, with reference to FIG. 6. Note that in the present exemplary embodiment, as well as in subsequently described exemplary embodiments, configuration that is the same as configuration of the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the first exemplary embodiment is appended with the same reference numerals, and repetition of explanation of such configurations is omitted.

Column Structure and Base Member Configuration

As illustrated in FIG. 6, in a column structure 40 and a base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, configuration of a first fixing hole 20A and a first fixing hole 20B of second fixing portions, and configuration of first anchor bolts 42 of second anchor members, respectively shown on the left hand side in the drawing, differ from the configuration of the first exemplary embodiment. Other configurations of the column structure 40 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment are similar to configuration of the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the first exemplary embodiment.

More specifically, the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B of the column structure 40 and the base member 16 are formed as circular shaped through holes having the same diameter as the first fixing hole 18A and the first fixing hole 18B of the first fixing portions. Note that the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B are also formed with the same diameter as the second fixing hole 20C and the second fixing hole 20D of the second fixing portions and the second fixing hole 18C and the second fixing hole 18D of the first fixing portions.

The first anchor bolts 42 serving as second anchor members are configured with the same diameter as the first anchor bolts 24, and are formed from a material with a higher tensile strength than the first anchor bolts 24. Upper end portions 42C of the first anchor bolts 42 are provided with a male thread similarly to the upper end portions 24A of the anchor bolts 24. Nuts 42G are screwed onto the male thread of the first anchor bolts 42 that pierce the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B with washers, omitted from illustration, interposed. Similarly to the first anchor bolts 24, lower end sides of the first anchor bolts 42, omitted from illustration, are provided with double nuts and fixing plates that are fastened by the double nuts. The upper end sides of the first anchor bolts 42 are thereby fixed to the base plate 16A.

For example, when the anchor bolts 24 are formed from a carbon steel material having a tensile strength of 400 N/mm²as defined by JIS specification G3138, the first anchor bolts 42 may be formed from a carbon steel material having a tensile strength of 490 N/mm². The first anchor bolts 42 may also be formed from a stainless steel material with a higher tensile strength than the first anchor bolts 24.

Note that in the present exemplary embodiment, the second anchor bolts 26 serving as the second anchor members may be formed from a material with a high tensile strength similarly to the first anchor bolts 42. The length of the second anchor bolts 42 and the length of the first anchor bolts 24 may differ from each other under the condition that the tensile strength of the first anchor bolts 42 is higher than that of the anchor bolts 24.

Operation and Advantageous Effects of the Second Exemplary Embodiment

As illustrated in FIG. 6, in the column structure 40 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the first anchor bolts 42 of the second anchor members are formed from a material with a higher tensile strength than the anchor bolts 24 of the first anchor members. The tensile strength of the second anchor members can accordingly be raised, and column seat bending strength of the column structure 40 can be raised by the simple configuration in which the first anchor bolts 42 are formed from a material having high tensile strength.

In addition to the above operation and advantageous effects, the column structure 40 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment can obtain similar operation and advantageous effects to those obtained by the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the first exemplary embodiment.

Third Exemplary Embodiment

Column Structure and Base Member Configuration

As illustrated in FIG. 7, in a column structure 50 and a base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, configuration of first fixing portions and first anchor members illustrated on the right hand side in the drawing, and configuration of second fixing portions and second anchor members illustrated on the left hand side in the drawing differ from the configuration of the first exemplary embodiment. Other configurations of the column structure 50 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment are similar to configuration of the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the first exemplary embodiment.

More specifically, the first fixing portions of the column structure 50 and the base member 16 are configured with the first fixing hole 18A and the first fixing hole 18B (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) omitted, with two fixing holes, the second fixing hole 18C and the second fixing hole 18D. The second anchor bolts 24 serving as the first anchor members are provided to the second fixing hole 18C and the second fixing hole 18D respectively.

The second fixing portions are configured by two first fixing holes, the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B, and two second fixing holes, the second fixing hole 20C and the second fixing hole 20D. The first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B are formed as circular shaped through holes having the same diameter as the second fixing hole 20C and the second fixing hole 20D, similarly to the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B (see FIG. 6) of the second exemplary embodiment described above. The first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B are moreover formed with the same diameter as the second fixing hole 18C and the second fixing hole 18D of the first fixing portions. First anchor bolts 26 and second anchor bolts 26 serving as second anchor members are provided to the total of four fixing holes, namely the first fixing hole 20A, the first fixing hole 20B, the second fixing hole 20C, and the second fixing hole 20D. The first anchor bolts 26 are formed with the same diameter and the equivalent tensile strength to the second anchor bolts 26. Moreover, the first anchor bolts 26 are formed with the same diameter and the equivalent tensile strength to the first anchor bolts 24 of the first anchor members.

Namely, in the column structure 50 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, there are a greater number of the first anchor bolts 26 and the second anchor bolts 26 of the second anchor members provided than that of the first anchor members.

Operation and Advantageous Effects of the Third Exemplary Embodiment

As illustrated in FIG. 7, in the column structure 50 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, there are a greater number of the second anchor members provided than that of the first anchor members. The tensile strength of the second anchor members can be raised, and the column seat bending strength of the column structure 50 can be raised, by the simple configuration in which the number (quantity) of the second anchor members is varied.

In addition to the above operation and advantageous effects, the column structure 50 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment can obtain similar operation and advantageous effects to those obtained by the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the first exemplary embodiment.

Fourth Exemplary Embodiment

Explanation follows regarding a column structure and base member according to a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention, with reference to FIG. 8.

Column Structure and Base Member Configuration

As illustrated in FIG. 8, in a column structure 60 and a base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the steel column 30 is joined to the base plate 16A with a flange 30B width direction (arrow FH direction) center position Wc of the steel column 30 offset with respect to a flange 30B width direction center position Bc of the base plate 16A by a distance Los. Note that the center position Bc is a center position on the upper face of the base plate 16A, and the center position Wc is a center position on a lower face of the steel column 30. More specifically, in the present exemplary embodiment one end side of the base plate 16A on the arrow FH direction upper side is disposed at the outside of a building, omitted from illustration, and the other end side of the base plate 16A on the arrow FH direction lower side is disposed at the building inside. Namely, the steel column 30 is offset toward the side where the greatest tensile axial force arises.

In the present exemplary embodiment, two fixing holes of the first fixing hole 18A and the first fixing hole 18B serving as first fixing portions, and two fixing holes of the second fixing hole 18C and the second fixing hole 18D are provided on one end side of the base plate 16A. The center axis positions of the first fixing hole 18A, the first fixing hole 18B, the second fixing hole 18C and the second fixing hole 18D are aligned with each other along the arrow WH direction, and the first fixing hole 18A to the second fixing hole 18D are formed with the same diameter as each other. The first fixing hole 18A is disposed on the opposite side of the flange 30B to the web 30A. The first fixing hole 18B is disposed further to the web 30A width direction inside than the first fixing hole 18A, and is disposed on the web 30A side of the flange 30B. The second fixing hole 18D is disposed on the opposite side of the flange 30B to the web 30A.

The first anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 24 all formed with the same diameter, and are all formed with equivalent tensile strength.

Two first fixing holes, a first fixing hole 20A and a first fixing hole 20B, and two second fixing holes, a second fixing hole 20C and a second fixing hole 20D that serve as second fixing portions are provided on the other end side of the base plate 16A. The center axis positions of the first fixing hole 20A, the first fixing hole 20B, the second fixing hole 20C and the second fixing hole 20D are aligned with each other along the arrow WH direction, and the first fixing hole 20A to the second fixing hole 20D are formed with the same diameter as each other. The first fixing hole 20A to the second fixing hole 20D of the second fixing portions are moreover configured with the same diameter as the first fixing hole 18A to the second fixing hole 18D of the first fixing portions. The first fixing hole 20A is disposed on the opposite side of the flange 30B to the web 30A, and the center axis position of the first fixing hole 20A is aligned with the center axis position of the first fixing hole 18A in the arrow FH direction. The first fixing hole 20B is disposed further to the web 30A width direction inside than the first fixing hole 20A, and is disposed on the web 30A side of the flange 30B. The center axis position of the first fixing hole 20B is aligned with the center axis position of the first fixing hole 18B in the arrow FH direction. The second fixing hole 20D is disposed on the opposite side of the flange 30B to the web 30A, and the center axis position of the second fixing hole 20D is aligned with the center axis position of the second fixing hole 18D in the arrow FH direction. The second fixing hole 20C is disposed further toward the web 30A width direction inside than the second fixing hole 20D, and is disposed on the web 30A side of the flange 30B.

First anchor bolts 26 serving as second anchor members are provided to the first fixing hole 20A and the first fixing hole 20B, and second anchor bolts 26 serving as second anchor members are provided to the second fixing hole 20C and the second fixing hole 20D. The first anchor bolts 26 and the second anchor bolts 26 are all formed with the same diameter and the equivalent tensile strength to each other. The first anchor bolts 26 are moreover formed with the same diameter and the equivalent tensile strength to the first anchor bolts 24. The first anchor bolts 24, the second anchor bolts 24, the first anchor bolts 26 and the second anchor bolts 26 are moreover all provided an equal distance from the center position Bc of the base plate 16A.

Operation and Advantageous Effects of the Fourth Exemplary Embodiment

As illustrated in FIG. 8, in the column structure 60 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the steel column 30 with the flanges 30B integrally provided to both width direction sides of the web 30A is joined to the upper side of the base plate 16A. The lower end sides of the first anchor members and the second anchor members are fixed to the foundation 12, and the base plate 16A is fixed to the upper end sides of the first anchor members and the second anchor members.

The first anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 24 of the first anchor members, and the first anchor bolts 26 and the second anchor bolts 26 of the second anchor members are formed with the equivalent tensile strength to each other. The upper end sides of the first anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 24 are fixed to the arrow FH direction one end side of the base plate 16A, and the upper end sides of the first anchor bolts 26 and the second anchor bolts 26 are fixed to the arrow FH direction other end side of the base plate 16A. The center position Wc of the steel column 30 is offset with respect to the center position Bc of the base plate 16A in the flanges 30B width direction, such that the steel column 30 reinforces the location (the other end side of the base plate 16A) of the base plate 16A where the steel column 30 is offset. For example, when force (force F illustrated in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4) in the horizontal direction is imparted to the steel column 30 from the opposite side to the offset direction of the steel column 30, a large tensile axial force in the arrow UP direction arises in the steel column 30 at the location of the base plate 16A where the steel column 30 is offset. This large tensile axial force is effectively suppressed by the location of the base plate 16A reinforced by the offset steel column 30. Accordingly, the column seat bending strength of the column structure 60 can be raised by the simple configuration in which the steel column 30 is joined to the base plate 16A at an offset even when the first anchor members and the second anchor members have the equivalent tensile strength to each other (even without modification).

In addition to the above operation and advantageous effects, the column structure 60 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment can obtain similar operation and advantageous effects to the operation and advantageous effects obtained by the column structure 10 and the base member 16 according to the first exemplary embodiment.

Note that in the column structure 60 and the base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, configuration may be made such that the center position Bc of the base plate 16A and the center position Wc of the column member are aligned with each other, with both positions being offset in the arrow WH direction. In such a case, the steel column 30 is offset toward the building outside with respect to the base plate 16A. The first fixing hole 18A, the first fixing hole 18B, the first fixing hole 20A, and the first fixing hole 20B are disposed on the building inside, and are provided with the first anchor bolts 24 and the first anchor bolts 26. Moreover, the second fixing hole 18C, the second fixing hole 18D, the second fixing hole 20C, and the second fixing hole 20D are disposed on the building outside, and are provided with the second anchor bolts 24 and the second anchor bolts 26.

The present exemplary embodiment is a modified example of the column structure 60 and the base member 16 according to the fourth exemplary embodiment.

Column Structure and Base Member Configuration

As illustrated in FIG. 9, in a column structure 70 and a base member 16 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the first fixing portions are configured by two first fixing holes, the first fixing hole 18A and the first fixing hole 18B, disposed on the opposite side of the flange 30B to the web 30A. The first fixing hole 18A and the first fixing hole 18B are provided with the first anchor bolts 24 serving as first anchor members.

The second fixing portions are configured by two second fixing holes, a second fixing hole 20G and a second fixing hole 20H, disposed on the web 30A side of the flange 30B. The second fixing hole 20G and the second fixing hole 20H are provided with the second anchor bolts 26 serving as the second anchor members. The second anchor bolts 26 are formed with the same diameter and the equivalent tensile strength to the first anchor bolts 24.
