It changes.Internal force suffered by pier can be adjusted by adjusting the size of multilayer sliding rubber support in normal operation, and
And adapt to the biggish displacement of the superstructure due to caused by temperature action etc..
Fig. 4 is the compound section rubber shock absorption support analyzed by finite element software SAP2000 and board-like rubber branch
Seat is under the horizontal force action that top acts on the same direction and size, the displacement model figure of generation.Left hand view is compound section rubber
Glue shock mount, wherein tilting long line segment unit represents rubber layer, inclination short-term segment frames unit represents sliding surface;In right part of flg
Inclined line segment unit simulation laminated rubber bearing.As seen from Figure 4, traditional laminated rubber bearing is in horizontal force action
Under, displacement is smaller, and rigidity is larger, and deformation is uniform;And compound section rubber shock absorption support is under horizontal force action, at sliding surface
Since section locally weakens, rigidity reduces, and displacement is uprushed, and overall displacements are larger, therefore can reduce overall stiffness, extends week
Phase reduces geological process suffered by substructure according to the relationship of power and displacement balance.Sliding surface is by the board-like rubber retained
Support restraint, can be to avoid the excessive generation unstability of relative storey displacement;After earthquake, support can be restored to due to the restoring force of rubber
Original state.
The utility model is with the support example of simplest highway continuous bridge come when designing, elder generation is with vertically anti-according to support
Power determines support area, using finite element software, support relative displacement is allowed in normal operating condition, guarantees geological process
Under the premise of lower energy plays enough damping and isolation effects, the horizontal rigidity needed, support thickness are determined, and then determine that inside multilayer is sliding
The size of dynamic rubber support;The size of rubber support can be slided, by adjusting internal multilayer simultaneously to adjust different-stiffness
Pier internal force adapts to superstructure in the inferior bigger deformation of temperature action, so that pier internal force is in normal use or earthquake
Under effect situation as far as possible uniformly.
There are three effects when earthquake occurs for the utility model:
(1) reduce horizontal rigidity, increase the period, can be staggered site predominant period, reach damping and isolation effect;
(2) internal multilayer sliding rubber support can consume ground to a certain extent by the friction on multiple sliding surfaces
Energy is shaken, and not will cause unstability under the constraint of the laminated rubber bearing of reservation;
(3) after geological process, support can be restored to by the elastic restoring force of rubber close to original state.
Furthermore, it is possible to according to the rigidity requirement of normal use, superstructure the temperature the effects of under displacement demand, pier
Internal force distribution requirements adjust the size of internal multilayer sliding rubber support, and construction technology is simple, as laminated rubber bearing
It is conveniently replaceable maintenance, no pollution to the environment has sustainability and developability.
The utility model is being protected by hollowing out laminated rubber bearing and filling multilayer sliding rubber support formation compound section
The shear stiffness that can reduce support under the premise of card support vertical bearing capacity, increases Admissible displacement and structure natural period, reaches
To sufficient damping and isolation effect, there is self-reparability after geological process.Under geological process, internal multilayer slides rubber branch
Can the sliding friction on multiple sliding surfaces under the premise of avoiding unstability, consume energy.The section of multilayer sliding rubber support
Size, quantity, the selection of material and shape can be adjusted according to concrete condition, any according to made by the application design
Be only that formal but not substantive equivalent transformation is regarded as the technical solution scope of the application.
Rubber support is slided the utility model proposes the multilayer convenient for production construction, by filling it into the plate hollowed out
Inside formula rubber support so that support have energy dissipation capacity, without being reconfigured the ancillary equipments such as damper, can reduce engineering at
This investment and design and construction difficulty, are particularly suitable for the highway continuous bridge of Mid and minor spans.
