The upper shoe 20, as shown in FIG. 8, is a steel plate having a substantially I-shape in plan view with notches 21 provided at both edges. The portion corresponding to the horizontal portion of the letter I (the portion protruding in the bridge axis direction in the installed state) is the contact piece 22. The contact piece 22 is thinner than other parts so as to provide a gap between the contact piece 22 and the lower surface of the bridge girder G. A concave portion 23 that opens is provided on the lower surface. The recess 23 on the shoe 2
It has a long rectangle in the longitudinal direction of 0 (bridge axis direction). The length u of the recess 23 is longer than the length v of the cushion rubber 30. The symbol v is shown in FIG. The difference (s-t) between the interval (length of the notch 21) s of the contact piece 22 and the length t of the stopper 11 is the difference (u) between the length u of the concave portion 23 and the length v of the cushion rubber 30. −v), the stopper 11 is movable in the bridge axis direction. The symbol t is shown in FIG. To show one design example,

The distance s between the contact pieces 22 is 490 mm, the length t of the stopper 11 is 210 mm, the length u of the concave portion 23 is 550 mm, the length v of the buffer rubber 30 is 310 mm, st = 280 mm, and uv = 240 mm. st−u> uv.

A female screw for screwing an upward anchor 24 also shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is cut on the upper surface of the upper shoe 20. The upward anchor 24 is fixed by welding after being screwed into the female screw.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cushion rubber 30 has a lower portion fixed to the upper surface of the upper shoe 20 and an upper portion inserted into the concave portion 23 in the installed state. The material can be a material suitable for practicing the present invention, such as synthetic rubber or natural rubber. As shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. The length v of the cushion rubber 30 is shorter than the length u of the recess 23 so as to be slidable in the bridge axis direction inside the recess 23. The upper surface is processed with PTFE (low friction material). In the figure, reference numeral 32 denotes a PTFE (Teflon) coating. As shown in FIG. 12, a thick steel plate 31 (SS400) is embedded in the upper part and the lower part in the inside.

In order to install the steel stopper 1 with a cushioning function, a buried hole (not shown) for burying the downward anchor 13 at the time of constructing the abutment A is provided, and the buried hole is previously assembled in a factory. Steel stopper 1 with cushioning function (with cushion rubber 30 between upper shoe 20 and lower plate 10).

Next, the formwork of the bridge girder G is assembled so as to embed the upward anchor 24 extending upward from the upper surface of the upper shoe 20, and concrete is cast. As described above, the steel stopper 1 with the buffer function can be installed between the bridge girder G and the abutment A.

Next, the operation of the steel stopper 1 with a buffer function will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 1
6 shows a state in which the lower plate 10 does not move and only the upper shoe 20 moves (to the left as viewed in the drawing). Also, in order to make the deformation of the cushioning rubber 30 easily visible, only the right half of the stopper 1 made of a cushioning function made of steel is viewed in a sectional view as viewed in the drawing.

When relative movement occurs between the bridge girder G and the abutment A from the settling state shown in FIG. 13, as shown in FIG.
The cushion rubber 30 slides in the recess 23 in the bridge axis direction without being deformed, and abuts on the end face 23 a of the recess 23. In addition,
According to the above construction method, the load of the bridge girder G is not applied to the cushion rubber 30.

When the relative movement increases, the cushion rubber 30 is deformed as shown in FIG.

When the relative movement further increases, as shown in FIG. 16, the stopper 11 comes into contact with the contact piece 22, and the relative movement does not increase any more, and at the same time, the deformation of the cushion rubber 30 stops.

[0023] The displacement amount will be described based on the above design example the operation in the above, first, 120mm (u-v = 240 for the transition from the state of FIG. 13 to the state of FIG. 14, one side late 24

Next, a transition from the state of FIG. 14 to the state of FIG. 15 takes 20 mm ((st)-(uv) = 40).
mm, one side is 40/2 = 20 mm)). That is, the deformation amount of the cushion rubber 30 is 20 mm.

After shifting to the state shown in FIG. 16, the relative movement does not increase. Such an operation can prevent a bridge from being dropped.

Since the steel stopper 1 with the shock absorbing function according to the embodiment is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

Even when a relative movement in the bridge axis direction occurs between the bridge girder G and the abutment A during an earthquake or the like, the shock absorbing rubber 30 can prevent the impact force from being applied to the stopper 11.

Further, the stopper 11 of the cushion rubber 30 is
Before contacting the shoe 20, it also functions as a seismic isolation device.

In general, the upper area of the lower structure including the abutment A is small, and the size of the lower plate 10 cannot be increased.
Since the lower plate 10 is provided on the shoe 20 and is smaller than the upper shoe 20, the lower plate 10 can be installed in a lower structure having a small installation space.

The cushioning force can be easily changed by changing the spring constant of the cushioning rubber 30.

Further, a steel plate 31 is provided on the cushion rubber 30.
Is embedded, it is possible to prevent unequal deformation of the cushion rubber 30.

As for the relative movement (displacement due to wind, live load, etc.) at all times, only when the cushion rubber 30 moves inside the recess 23 or when the cushion rubber 30 is deformed,
There is no restriction on relative movement. Further, even when the bridge girder expands and contracts due to drying and shrinkage, expansion and contraction are not similarly limited.

Further, since the lower plate 10 is provided with the fitting hole 12, the buffer rubber 30 can be fixed to the lower plate 10 simply by fitting the buffer rubber 30 into the fitting hole 12.

Further, by setting shifting the lower plate 10 and the upper shoe 20, it is possible to adjust the amount of movement due to temperature, etc. during construction (expansion and contraction amount of the girder G).

Since the PTFE is processed, the cushion rubber 30 can slide smoothly. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the shock-absorbing rubber 30 from being sheared due to the constant relative movement.

Further, since the PTFE is processed on the upper surface of the cushion rubber 30 and the upper area of the cushion rubber 30 is smaller than the area of the top surface of the recess 23, the top surface of the recess 23 is processed more than the case where the top surface of the recess 23 is processed by PTFE. It can be manufactured at low cost.

Further, since the concave portion 23 which opens downward is provided on the lower surface of the upper shoe 20, no dust or the like enters, and a cover or the like for preventing dust or the like from entering is unnecessary.

Note that, in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to ones suitable for applying the present invention.

Further, the steel stopper 1 with a shock absorbing function according to the present invention can also be used for a steel girder. Above the steel girder shoes 2
When fixing 0, it may be performed by a method suitable for carrying out the present invention, such as bolting.

Further, the stopper 11 is provided on the upper shoe 20,
A notch 21 may be provided in the lower plate 10.

Further, a fixed elastic cushioning material on the bottom surface of the upper shoe 20 may be provided with a recess 23 on the upper surface of the lower plate 10.

The upper shoe 20 can be fixed to the lower structure, and the lower plate 10 can be fixed to the bridge girder G.

Further, a stainless steel plate can be stuck instead of PTFE.

The low-friction material is not limited to PTFE, but may be a material suitable for practicing the present invention, such as a stainless steel plate.

Further, a low friction material can be provided in the concave portion 23. Further, a low friction material may be provided in both the concave portion 23 and the elastic cushioning material.

Further, a space may be provided between the upper surface of the elastic cushioning material and the lower surface of the recess 23 with a gap. In such a case, the elastic cushioning material can be smoothly slid in the bridge axis direction without providing the bottom friction material. As a method of providing the gap, after inserting the elastic cushioning material in the recess 23, the upper surface of the elastic cushioning material, between the upper shoe 20 and the lower plate 10 so as to open a gap between the lower surface of the concave portion 23 What is necessary is just to interpose the temporary fixing piece and perform the installation work on the lower structure.

Further, as the elastic buffering member, a material suitable for practicing the present invention, such as a rubber material in which a steel plate is not embedded, a laminated rubber, a spring, a hydraulic damper, etc., can be used.

In this embodiment, the fitting hole 1
2, the cushioning rubber 30 is fixed. However, the elastic cushioning member can be fixed to the lower plate 10 by a method suitable for carrying out the present invention, such as fixing, fusion, and bolt fixing.

Further, the fitting hole 12 can be elongated in the bridge axis direction. In such a case, the elastic buffer material slides even in the fitting hole 12, so that a large stroke can be taken until the stopper comes into contact with the contact piece.

The number, position, shape, and the like of the above-mentioned constituent members are not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be set to a number, position, shape, and the like suitable for carrying out the present invention.

Also, fixed bearings, movable bearings, distributed bearings, etc.
