The present invention relates to the field of earthquake resistance of building structures, and in particular to an earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction cooperative system for a modular steel structure building.
Industrialization of construction is an inevitable trend in the development of China's construction industry. Modular buildings, as the most industrialized building type at present, meet the development requirements of China's construction industry and represents the development direction of China's construction industry. Due their characteristic of faster construction, the modular buildings meet the current demand of high turnover in the industry, and are gradually gaining attention and ushering in development.
Compared with concrete, steel is a green building material that is recyclable in full life cycle. The combination of steel structures and modular buildings is in line with the modern development direction of green and industrialized construction industry. A modular steel structure building is a green building in full life cycle, which fits perfectly with China's realities of increasingly higher requirements for environmental friendliness and decreasing labor force year by year, and has become the up-to-date frontier development trend of modular buildings and an inevitability of future development.
The modular steel structure building shown in
Currently, vertical and horizontal connections between adjacent building modules are realized through a joint as shown in
China is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, and more than half of the areas are located in high-intensity zones of scismic intensity 7 and above, posing a serious threat to the lives and property of people in China. Past earthquakes have shown that the damage and collapse of building structures are the root cause of casualties and economic losses, so how to mitigate civil engineering disasters caused by earthquakes has become a core issue in the field of earthquake engineering in China. Existing research shows that modular steel structures suffer from a series of key problems such as insufficient integrity and abrupt changes in connection stiffness, which are highlighted by the fact that there are only horizontal constraints provided by the common connecting plate without necessary vertical restraints between the adjacent vertical building module structures. Due to the lack of the vertical restraints, when the modular steel structure undergoes an earthquake, each vertical building module structure works independently, and the connection joint between building modules will have a vertical deformation difference (as shown in
The use of seismic damping and isolation technology is one of the important means to improve the seismic performance of building structures. In September 2021, the State Council of China promulgated the Regulations on the Anti-seismic Management of Construction Projects, which clearly states that seismic damping and isolation technology is given priority to improve the seismic performance of building structures. Actual projects show that although the seismic isolation technology can reduce the energy input to the structure by earthquake, it is not economical enough. Moreover, compared with the traditional steel structure, the modular steel structure has higher construction cost. If the seismic isolation technology is applied to the modular steel structure, its application cost will be further pushed up, which is not in line with the relevant requirement of the industry in terms of economy.
Based on the above, an effective combination of the seismic damping technology with lower cost with modular steel structure buildings is a practical way to improve the seismic performance of such novel prefabricated buildings at this stage. The existing seismic damping technology is proposed based on the deformation characteristics of traditional building structures, and shows good adaptability in the construction process of traditional building structures in the past. However, the modular steel structure buildings are obviously different from traditional buildings in terms of structural characteristics, sequence of construction and functionality. Therefore, the application of the existing seismic damping technology to modular steel structure buildings will face the following problems:
(1) It is Difficult to Effectively Combine the Existing Seismic Damping Technology with the Modular Steel Structure Buildings:
As described above, the existing seismic damping technology is applied to traditional buildings. In view of the deformation characteristics of the traditional buildings undergoing an earthquake, according to the existing seismic damping technology, dampers are concentratedly arranged between stories and between beams, and the specific arrangement types mainly include brace type, buttress type and haunch brace type (as shown in
In addition, due to transportation conditions, there may be practical problems such as limited clear height and limited available space between floors of the modular buildings, so it is a realistic demand for such buildings to ensure their functionality. However, the implementation of the existing seismic damping technology will inevitably lead to the occupation of the space under the beam (as shown in
(2) There is Lack of Good Integrity and Multiple Seismic Fortification Lines Between Multiple Module Structures in the Horizontal Direction:
As described above, there are only horizontal constraints between adjacent module columns in the horizontal direction, and there is lack of effective vertical constraints between adjacent vertical building module structures, so there is lack of good integrity between multiple module structures in the horizontal direction. When the modular steel structure building undergoes an earthquake, the vertical building module structures bear forces separately, there are a pair of vertical opposite shear forces at the vertical beam-column joint (as shown in
Further, since there is lack of good integrity in the existing modular structure, when the modular structure undergoes an earthquake, only the multiple module structures in the vertical direction work independently, and the adjacent building modules in the horizontal direction only transfer horizontal shear forces therebetween, but do not bear forces as a whole. This makes the modular steel structure lack of space for arranging the multiple seismic fortification lines under the existing anti-seismic conditions, thereby affecting the seismic safety of such buildings and limiting the application range of such buildings.
To sum up, it is difficult for the existing seismic damping technology to be applied to the modular steel structure mainly due to problems such as, poor adaptability of the existing seismic damping technology, lack of space for arranging multiple seismic fortification lines and so on.
In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides an earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction cooperative system for a modular steel structure building, which significantly improves the integrity of the modular steel structure and effectively combines the modular steel structure building with a seismic damping technology. Moreover, by arranging multiple fortification lines, seismic performance of the modular steel structure is improved. The schematic mechanical view of the system is shown in
With such design, the structural system can realize three seismic fortification lines, namely an earthquake resisting working state, a first seismic damping working state and a second seismic damping working state. When the modular steel structure undergoes a minor earthquake, the structure enters an earthquake resisting working state (as shown in
In order to realize the above functions, the present invention provides an earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction cooperative system for a modular steel structure building, mainly including a building-integrated module and connection joints between building modules. As shown in
The ceiling beam is designed with three sections, including two cantilever beam sections and a middle beam section, which are connected by two rotational friction joints. The module columns and the module bottom beam are also each designed with three sections, and local high-strength steel sections (dashed areas in the figure) are arranged at two ends of each of the aforementioned members, thereby ensuring the members to keep elastic when the structure bears an earthquake load.
As described above, the main energy dissipating and seismic damping members in the building-integrated module are ceiling beam rotational friction joints. The energy dissipating and seismic damping function of the rotational friction joints is realized in a way as follows: As shown in
In order to realize the above functions, the ceiling beam rotational friction joint dissipates energy by means of friction, as shown in
The connection joints between building modules mainly include: vertical building module connection joints, hinge joints between horizontal building modules and frictional connection between horizontal building modules. The vertical building module connection joints and the hinge joints between horizontal building modules can be realized by means of the existing related structures, including, but not limited to, tie rod shear lock connection joints shown in
As described above, the main energy dissipating and seismic damping members between the modules are frictional connections between horizontal building modules, and the working principle is as shown in
In order to realize the above functions, the frictional connection between horizontal building modules also designed to dissipates energy by means of friction. As shown in
Compared with the Prior Art, the Present Invention at Least has the Following Beneficial Effects:
The earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction cooperative system for a modular steel structure building provided by the present invention solves a series of key problems such as incompatibility of the existing seismic damping technology with such buildings, insufficient integrity of modular buildings and lack of design of multiple seismic fortification lines when designing such buildings for earthquake resistance and disaster prevention.
(1) The Seismic Damping Technology is Effectively Combined with the Modular Steel Structure.
According to the earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction cooperative system provided by the present invention, the dampers are designed based on related structural characteristics and deformation characteristics of the modular steel structure, so that the seismic damping technology is effectively combined with the modular steel structure. Specifically, the seismic damping technology is integrated into the beam-column joints of the ceiling beam of the building module, and friction dampers are arranged between adjacent vertical building module structures. On the premise of not affecting the functionality of the building, the related design can reasonably utilize the possible construction and maintenance space, fully consider the load bearing capacity of the related members of the modular steel structure, and make full use of the special deformation mechanism of the modular steel structure under the earthquake action, thereby finally effectively combining the seismic damping technology with the modular steel structure building.
(2) A Cooperative System for a Modular Steel Structure with Good Integrity is Provided.
The earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction cooperative system provided by the present invention effectively solves the problems of relative independence of vertical building module structures and insufficient structural integrity in the existing modular building. By arranging the frictional connections between the adjacent vertical building module structures, the vertical constraints between the adjacent vertical building module structures are added, so that the adjacent building modules in the horizontal direction can transfer both horizontal shear force and vertical axial force. Thus, the multiple modules of the overall structure bear forces cooperatively under three earthquake resisting-seismic damping working states, thereby finally forming the cooperative system for the modular steel structure.
(3) An Earthquake-Resistant and Seismic-Damping Multifunction Structural System for a Modular Steel Structure Having Multiple Seismic Fortification Lines is Provided.
The earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction cooperative system provided by the present invention not only realizes the above functions, but also realizes the arrangement of the multiple seismic fortification lines for the modular steel structure. By adjusting the elastic load bearing capacity of the related energy dissipating and seismic damping members at different stages, the related energy dissipating and seismic damping members enter the energy dissipating working state in batches, thereby realizing the reasonable arrangement of the multiple seismic fortification lines. By reasonably utilizing the changes in stiffness of the related energy dissipating and seismic damping members in the elastic state and the energy dissipating working state, the whole structure transforms from the earthquake-resistant system to the seismic damping system, thereby significantly reducing the energy input of the earthquake and effectively protecting the structure. The earthquake-resistant system and the seismic damping system are combined to finally form the earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction structural system for a modular steel structure having multiple seismic fortification lines.

The building-integrated module 1 includes a plurality of building modules. Each building module mainly includes ceiling beams 11, local high-strength module columns 12 and local high-strength module bottom beams 13 located between the ceiling beams 11 and the local high-strength module columns 12. The ceiling beam 11 includes two cantilever beam sections 111 and a middle beam section 112 located between the two cantilever beam sections 111. The middle beam section 112 is connected to the two cantilever beam sections 111 through two ceiling beam rotational friction joints 113. Referring to
In some embodiments of the present invention, the first pretensioner 1137 is a one-sided bolt.
Besides, in some embodiments of the present invention, the local high-strength module column 12 includes two high-strength steel column sections and an ordinary steel column section, which are welded together. The local high-strength module bottom beam 13 also includes two high-strength steel beam section and an ordinary steel column section, which are also welded together. The ceiling beams 11, the local high-strength module columns 12 and the local high-strength module bottom beams 13 are welded in a factory to complete the processing of the main structural components of the building-integrated module.
The connection joints between building modules include: vertical building module connection joints 21, hinge joints between horizontal building modules 22 and frictional connections between horizontal building modules 23. The vertical building module connection joints 21 and the hinge joints between horizontal building modules 22 can be realized by means of the existing related structures, including, but not limited to, tie rod shear lock connection joints shown in
The main energy dissipating and seismic damping members in the connection joints between building modules are frictional connections between horizontal building modules 23. The frictional connection between horizontal building modules 23 specifically includes a pad between adjacent module columns 231, an in-column bolt pad 232, a second high friction surface 233, a second low friction surface 234 and second pretensioners 235. Webs of the two adjacent local high-strength module columns 12 of the two adjacent building modules in the horizontal direction are respectively defined as a first module column web 121 and a second module column web 122. The first module column web 121 provided with a slotted hole is adjacent to the second module column web 122 provided with a circular hole. The pad between columns 231 is sandwiched between two columns and welded with the second module column web 122 provided with the circular hole. The second high friction surface 233 is sandwiched between the pad between columns 231 and the first module column web 121 provided with the slotted hole. The in-column bolt pad 232 is arranged in the local high-strength module column provided with the slotted hole and is immediately adjacent to the slotted hole, and the second low friction surface 234 is arranged between the in-column bolt pad 232 and the first module column web 121 provided with the slotted hole. The second pretensioner 235 is used to sequentially pass through the in-column bolt pad 232, the second low friction surface 234, the first module column web 121 provided with the slotted hole, the second high friction surface 233, the pad between columns 231 and the second module column web 122 provided with the circular hole, and apply a pretension force. It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present invention, at one frictional connection between horizontal building modules 23, only the web of the module column 12 on one side is provided with the slotted hole, and the other plates are provided with circular holes.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the second pretensioner 235 is a one-sided bolt.
Based on the above, the structural system provided by the embodiments of the present invention can satisfy the following advantages required in engineering projects:
1. By means of reasonable design and reliable construction, the seismic damping design can be integrated into the ceiling beams of the building module. The ceiling beam rotational friction joints 113 are arranged as the energy dissipating and seismic damping members. Based on the characteristic that the members can produce rotational deformation under the action of a major earthquake, the friction force between the beam connecting plate 1131 and the web of the middle beam section 112 during the rotation is utilized to realize energy dissipation and seismic damping of the structure. By controlling the pretension force of the corresponding first pretensioner 1137, the level of internal force in the ceiling beam can be reasonably controlled, thereby ensuring these relatively weak members to keep elastic during the working process.
2. By means of reasonable design and reliable construction, the seismic damping design can be arranged in the inter-story between the adjacent building modules in the horizontal direction. The frictional connections between horizontal adjacent building modules 23 are arranged as the energy dissipating and seismic damping connections of the structure. Based on the characteristic that these connections can transfer part of the axial force of the column, the adjacent local high-strength module columns 12 can cooperatively bear forces under certain conditions, thereby effectively avoiding concentrated transfer of internal force of the structure in one vertical building module connection joint 21. When the structure enters the second seismic damping working state, based on the characteristic that these connections can slide axially along the local high-strength module column 12, the vertical constraints between the horizontal adjacent building modules are reasonably released, and the friction force between the first module column web 121 and the pad between columns 231 is utilized to realize energy dissipation and seismic damping. By controlling the pretension force of the corresponding second pretensioner 235, the level of transfer of the internal force of the frictional connection 23 is controlled, which can effectively prevent the vertical building module connection joint 21 from bearing excessive load and reasonably utilize the connection joints between building modules.
3. By means of reasonable design and reliable construction, the multiple seismic fortification lines are arranged for the modular steel structure. By adjusting the elastic load bearing capacity of the related energy dissipating and seismic damping members at different stages by means of adjusting the friction coefficient of the friction surface and the pretension force of the bolt, the ceiling beam rotational friction joints 113 and the frictional connections between horizontal adjacent building modules 23 enter the energy dissipating working state in batches, thereby realizing the reasonable arrangement of the multiple seismic fortification lines. By reasonably utilizing the changes in stiffness of the related energy dissipating and seismic damping members in the elastic state and the energy dissipating working state, the whole structure transforms from the earthquake-resistant system to the seismic damping system, thereby significantly reducing the energy input of the earthquake and effectively protecting the structure. Thus, the earthquake-resistant and seismic-damping multifunction structural system for a modular steel structure having multiple seismic fortification lines is formed.
