Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a buckling-restrained brace member applied in the field of structural engineering, and more particularly to a seismic-incurred-rupture-resistant deformation-recordable buckling-restrained brace and a fabricating method thereof.

2. Description of Related Arts

The steel braced frame structure has desirable seismic performance. However, during strong earthquake, the steel braced frame structure is subject to the reciprocating earthquake action, and a regular steel brace is likely to buckle under compression, thus decreasing the seismic capacity of the structure, which is very unfavorable to the structural safety. A buckling-restrained brace does not buckle when subject to axial compression, has bearing capacities being equivalent under tension and compression, has plump hysteresis curves, and has desirable energy dissipation capacity and low cyclic fatigue properties, which are advantages thereof. The concept of buckling restrained energy dissipating brace was put forward firstly by Yoshino in 1971, and the experimental study on the buckling-restrained brace using a shear wall with external restrainers has been performed. Afterwards, many scholars have studied the force bearing performance of buckling-restrained brace members in various forms. Furthermore, some other scholars have studied the overall seismic performance of structures adopting buckling-restrained braces. In addition to the USA and Japan, the Chinese mainland and the Taiwan region have achieved many results on the study and application of the buckling-restrained braces.

However, the core of a conventional buckling-restrained brace will break under tension after reaching the fatigue limit thereof, so as to lose the bearing capacity under tension, which incurs a weak layer to the structure, thereby increasing structural loads and accelerating structural damage. In the prior art, the buckling-restrained brace cannot record the accumulated deformation and the maximum deformation in earthquakes, and therefore cannot provide basis for repairing and replacement of the buckling-restrained brace after the earthquakes; the problem of asymmetric tension and compression of a brace in the shape of an inverted Y cannot be solved either, which incurs an additional strong internal shearing force to a beam and thus is very unfavorable to the structural safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 is a specific structural view of a seismic-incurred-rupture-resistant deformation-recordable buckling-restrained brace, which includes a concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve 1, a core plate 2 being disposed in the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve, an end portion of the core plate being provided with a core plate stiffening rib 8, and further includes a brace deformation recording device 5. The brace deformation recording device 5 includes two toothed racks 51, a ratchet gear 55, a first cord spool 58, and a second cord spool 56 (as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8). The two toothed racks 51 are fixed on the core plate stiffening rib 8. The ratchet gear 55 is connected to the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve 1. A row of ratchet pawls 53 is disposed on a length direction of each toothed rack 51. The direction of the ratchet pawls on one toothed rack is opposite to that of the ratchet pawls on the other toothed rack. Two sides of the ratchet gear are engaged with the ratchet pawls 53 on the two toothed racks respectively. The first cord spool 58 is fixed on a shaft center of the ratchet gear. The second cord spool 56 is fixed on the core plate stiffening rib 8. One end of a cord is wound on the second cord spool, and the other end of the cord is fixed on the first cord spool. When deforming, the core plate drives the two toothed racks to move relative to the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve 1. The ratchet pawl drives the ratchet gear and the first cord spool to rotate in a unidirectional manner, and winds a part of the cord from the second cord spool onto the first cord spool. In the brace deformation recording device of the present invention, when the buckling-restrained brace is subject to a tension/compression force, the core plate undergoes deformation under tension/compression and drives the toothed racks to move, and the toothed racks drive the ratchet gear and the first cord spool to rotate, so as to wind the cord from the second cord spool onto the first cord spool. The cord spool rotate to wind the cord, so as to record the accumulated deformation amount. According to the recorded accumulated deformation amount, the degree of damage to the buckling-restrained brace is determined, which provides data support for decision of whether post-earthquake replacement is required.

As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, a specific structure of the brace deformation recording device of the present invention is: the toothed rack 51 is provided with a mounting slot 512 along the length direction, an extendable and retractable mechanism that extends and retracts along a depth direction of the mounting slot 512 is disposed in the mounting slot 512, and the ratchet pawls 53 are disposed in the mounting slot and connected to the extendable and retractable mechanism. When the tooth on the ratchet pawl hinders the ratchet gear from rotating, the ratchet gear presses the ratchet pawl into the mounting slot. After the ratchet gear rotates and passes the ratchet pawl, the extendable and retractable mechanism pushes the ratchet pawl to an original position thereof. Furthermore, the two toothed racks ensure that the ratchet gear always rotates along one direction, so as to accumulate the deformation amount of the buckling-restrained brace.

As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, in order to better make the ratchet gear rotate always in one direction, each ratchet pawl 53 includes a first side surface 531 and a second side surface 532. Top portions of the first side surface 531 and the second side surface 532 converge to form an acute angle. A root portion of the first side surface 531 is connected to a first pin 515. The first pin 515 is connected to an extendable and retractable mechanism. The extendable and retractable mechanism is located in an extension and retraction slot. A pin slide slot along a depth direction of the extension and retraction slot is disposed in the extension and retraction slot. Two ends of the first pin 515 are inserted into the pin slide slot, and can slide in the pin slide slot. A root portion of the second side surface 532 is connected to a second pin 516. The second pin 516 is fixedly mounted in the mounting slot. The extendable and retractable mechanism includes a spring 511 and a jamming plate 514. The spring 511 is disposed along the depth direction of the extension and retraction slot, and has one end fixed on a bottom portion of the extension and retraction slot and the other end fixed on the jamming plate 514. The first pin 515 is disposed in front of the jamming plate 514. When the second side surface 532 of the ratchet pawl is under compression, the spring is compressed, so that the ratchet pawl 53 enters the mounting slot. Then, the spring 511 pushes the ratchet pawl to the original position thereof through the jamming plate 514 and the first pin 515. When the first side surface 531 of the ratchet pawl is under compression, since the second pin is stationary, the ratchet pawl pokes the ratchet gear to rotate. The extension and retraction structure is not limited to the aforementioned structure, as long as that the ratchet pawl under compression does not hinder the ratchet gear from rotating and retracts into the mounting slot, and the ratchet pawl not under compression is restored to the original position to be engaged with the ratchet gear.

As shown in FIG. 11, a working process of the brace deformation recording device is as follows. When the core plate under compression deforms, and it is assumed that the two toothed racks move downwards, the first side surface 531 of the ratchet pawl on the right toothed rack contacts the ratchet gear 55, and the ratchet pawl 53 does not retract and pokes the ratchet gear 55 to rotate clockwise; the second side surface 532 of the ratchet pawl on the left toothed rack contacts the ratchet gear, the ratchet pawl under compression retracts into the mounting slot 512, so that the ratchet gear rotates normally. When the core plate under tension deforms, the two toothed racks move upwards, the second side surface of the ratchet pawl 53 on the right toothed rack contacts the ratchet gear 55, in this case the ratchet pawl on the right toothed rack retracts, and the ratchet pawl on the left toothed rack pokes the ratchet gear to continue to rotate clockwise. Therefore, not matter the core plate deforms under compression or tension, the brace deformation recording device always makes the ratchet gear to rotate clockwise, so as to wind the cord from the second cord spool onto the first cord spool, thereby recording the accumulated deformation amount of the brace.

Inner sides of the two toothed racks 51 are each provided with a pointer slide slot 513 along the length direction. The brace deformation recording device 5 further includes two pointers 54 (as shown in FIG. 7). The two pointers 54 are located on two sides of the ratchet gear 55 respectively. Two ends of each of the pointers are inserted into the pointer slide slots 513 on the two toothed racks. When the core plate moves relative to the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve, the pointers pushed by the ratchet gear 55 slide inside the pointer slide slot 513 and stop at a maximum position. Furthermore, scales for indicating a length are marked inside the pointer slide slots. The ratchet gear is fixedly connected to the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve, and the toothed rack is fixedly connected to the stiffening rib of the core plate, so that when the core plate moves relative to the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve, the pointers move inside the pointer slide slots and stop at the maximum position where the core plate moves. Therefore, by reading scale values where the pointers on the two sides stop in the pointer slide slots, a maximum deformation value under tension and a maximum deformation value under compression of the buckling-restrained brace are obtained.

As shown in FIG. 8, a ratchet gear cover 52 is disposed above the ratchet gear 55. The first cord spool 58 has one end fixed on the ratchet gear and the other end disposed in a bearing on the ratchet gear cover 52. The ratchet gear cover 52 is fixedly connected to the end portion of the concrete filled steel tubular sleeve 1 through a magnet block 57.

In order to enhance the seismic-incurred-rupture-resistant function of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, multiple cables 3 are symmetrically distributed in the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve. Two ends of each of the cables 3 are fixed on the core plate stiffening rib 8 at the two ends of the core plate through an anchorage device 7. End portions of the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve are provided with two sealing plates 9, namely, the front one and the rear one. A fixing plate 6 is disposed between the two sealing plates 9. The cables run through the front sealing plate and the fixing plate 6, and then are fixed through the anchorage device. The fixing plate 6 is disposed in front of the anchorage device 7, and is used to prevent the cables from retracting and provide additional tension bearing capacity for the brace. The fixing plate is provided with holes in the length direction, so that the cables can run through the holes and deform freely.

The cable 3 is inserted in a bushing 4. The bushing 4 is a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, and is positioned prior to pouring of concrete. End portions of the bushing are disposed deep into the hole inside the fixing plate in front of the anchorage device. The cable 3 is inserted into the bushing 4, so as to prevent the cable from being bound to poured lightweight concrete and being deprived of the original function. The cables are high strength steel strands or fiber-reinforced polymer material wires. After the seismic-incurred-rupture-resistant function is added to the buckling-restrained brace, the defect of asymmetric tension and compression in the buckling-restrained brace is compensated. The generation mechanism of the asymmetric tension and compression is as follows. When under compression, the section of the brace becomes bigger, the friction force of the core plate increases, and the Poisson effect is incurred, so that the bearing capacity of the brace increases. When under tension, the section of the brace becomes smaller, and the friction force of the core plate decreases, so that the bearing capacity of the brace decreases. As shown in FIG. 12, in the drawing, the solid line is the broken line of a buckling-restrained brace without any cable, where the tension broken line and the compression broken line are not symmetric; the dotted line is the tension broken line after the cable is added for compensation, and after the cable is added, the tension broken line and the compression broken line are symmetric. Furthermore, the compensation point may be adjusted by setting the free deformation length of the cable according to needs.

As shown in FIG. 6, two ends of the core plate 2 each are provided with the core plate stiffening rib 8. The core plate stiffening rib includes a stiffening rib 8b parallel with the core plate and a stiffening rib 8a perpendicular to the core plate. The two stiffening rib form a cross shape, thereby increasing the brace capacity of the core plate. A compressible delamination adhesive material layer 11 may be arranged around the core plate. The compressible delamination adhesive material layer may be such as a polystyrene foam plate.

In summary, a seismic-incurred-rupture-resistant buckling-restrained brace of the present invention includes a core part, a concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve part, a dual-function part, and a brace deformation recording part. The core part includes the core plate 2 and the core plate end portion stiffening rib 8. The concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve part is formed of a square steel tube and concrete. The dual-function part includes the cable 3, the bushing 4, and the anchorage device 7, and in addition to the seismic-incurred-rupture-resistant function, this part further has the function of compensating the asymmetric tension and compression. The brace deformation recording part is formed of the brace deformation recording device 5 for measuring the accumulated deformation and the maximum deformation. The concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve 1 is isolated from the core plate 2 by using the compressible delamination adhesive material 11. The cable 3 is placed inside the bushing 4, two ends thereof are fixed on the core plate stiffening rib 8 at the two ends of the core plate through the anchorage device 7, and certain laxity is kept. The laxity length of the cable is determined according to an expected deformation amount during strong earthquakes and requirements on the compensation of asymmetric tension and compression, so as to ensure that when the core plate ruptures during strong earthquakes, the bearing capacity lost by the brace can be provided by the cable, thereby preventing the formation of a weak layer in the structure. The brace deformation recording device 5 can record the accumulated plastic deformation and the maximum deformation undergone by the brace during earthquakes, so as to provide reliable basis for determination of the degree of damage to the brace and whether post-earthquake replacement is required. In the concrete filled steel tubular outer sleeve part, an inner wall of the square steel tube outer sleeve is close to the core plate stiffening rib. A longitudinal reserved distance of the core plate stiffening rib and the square steel tube outer sleeve is a compression distance of the brace. Compared with a regular buckling-restrained brace, the present invention achieves greater safety and better mechanical properties, can prevent adverse effects incurred to the structure by the fatigue rupture of the brace, and can record the accumulated deformation and the maximum deformation of the brace.
