Description
- The present invention relates to a load bearing frame used for forming a wall surface of a building.
- A general load bearing frame is formed in a truss structure of a substantially rectangular shape in which both ends of two pillar materials are respectively connected by two frame materials, and the two pillar materials are diagonally connected by a plurality of diagonal materials (refer to
Patent Documents Patent Document 3 for example). In the load bearing frame of the above structure, in the case where the horizontal load is imposed, the diagonal materials are plastically deformed in the axial direction, and the pillar materials are also plastically deformed by bending. Therefore, the deformability of the entire frame is improved. - However, in the load bearing frame of the above structure, in the case where the excessive horizontal load is imposed, the pillar materials are plastically deformed by bending. Therefore, the load bearing capacity for supporting the load in the vertical direction is extremely lowered. Consequently, the above load bearing frame cannot be used as a main structure of the building, and is only arranged in the vicinity of other pillar materials for supporting the load in the vertical direction.
- A major object of the present invention is to provide a load bearing frame for suppressing generation of buckling of diagonal materials and breakage of connection parts and having high deformability.
- A load bearing frame according to the present invention has a first pillar material, a second pillar material, a first frame material for connecting one ends of the first pillar material and the second pillar material respectively, and a second frame material for connecting the other ends of the first pillar material and the second pillar material respectively, wherein a first diagonal material for connecting a connection position which is other than both the ends of the first pillar material and a position which is other than both the ends of the second pillar material close to the one end of the second pillar material in comparison with the connection position, and a second diagonal material for connecting a connection position which is other than both the ends of the first pillar material and a position which is other than both the ends of the second pillar material close to the other end of the second pillar material in comparison to the connection position are provided with regard to one or more connection position, and a connection point between the first diagonal material arranged closest to the one end of the second pillar material and the second pillar material is apart from a connection point between the second pillar material and the first frame material, and a connection point between the first diagonal material arranged closest to the other end of the second pillar material and the second pillar material is apart from a connection point between the second pillar material and the second frame material.
- Here, the connection point between the first diagonal material and the second pillar material indicates an intersection point between an extended line of a central axis of the first diagonal material and a central axis of the second pillar material. The connection point between the second pillar material and the first frame material indicates an intersection point between a central axis of the second pillar material and a central axis of the first frame material. The connection point between the second pillar material and the second frame material indicates an intersection point between the central axis of the second pillar material and a central axis of the second frame material.
- According to the above configuration, even in the case where a horizontal load (a load in the perpendicular direction to the pillar material) is imposed on the load bearing frame, the horizontal load is not directly transmitted to the diagonal materials but indirectly transmitted through the pillar materials between corner parts of a frame and the diagonal materials. Therefore, generation of an excessive stress in the diagonal materials and connection parts is suppressed. In comparison with the conventional frame in which the connection points between the diagonal materials and the pillar materials correspond to the corner parts of the frame, since rigidity of the frame is reduced so as to facilitate deformation, it is possible to prevent sudden collapse after a maximum load is obtained. Therefore, in the present invention, buckling of the diagonal material and breakage of the connection parts in an earlier stage are suppressed, and an energy absorption capacity excellent in deformability over the entire frame is obtained.
- Further, in the load bearing frame according to the present invention, a distance between the connection point between the first diagonal material arranged closest to the one end of the second pillar material and the second pillar material and the connection point between the second pillar material and the first frame material, and a distance between the connection point between the first diagonal material arranged closest to the other end of the second pillar material and the second pillar material and the connection point between the second pillar material and the second frame material may be distances corresponding to 5 to 20% of the entire length of the second pillar material.
- According to the above configuration, it is possible to suppress the generation of the buckling of the diagonal materials and the breakage of the connection parts in the earlier stage, and also to prevent a large decrease in a load bearing capacity of the entire frame.
- Further, the load bearing frame according to the present invention may further comprise a reinforcing material for connecting a position which is other than both ends of the first frame material and a position which is other than both ends of the second frame material, the reinforcing material being jointed to the first diagonal material and the second diagonal material.
- According to the above configuration, even in the case where length of the diagonal materials is longer than height of the frame (height of a rectangular frame) (in the case where a ratio between width and the height of the frame is large), it is possible to improve buckling strength of the diagonal materials. Therefore, it is possible to improve the load bearing capacity of the entire frame.
- Further, the load bearing frame according to the present invention may further comprise connection members arranged between the first and second pillar materials and the first and second diagonal materials, the connection members being fixed to the first and second pillar materials at fixing positions apart from pillar corner parts of the first and second pillar materials towards the inside.
- According to the above configuration, even in the case where force in the direction of leaving apart from the pillar materials is imposed on the diagonal materials, energy is absorbed by plastic deformation of the connection members. Therefore, the load bearing capacity of the entire frame is improved.
- Further, in the load bearing frame according to the present invention, a distance between the pillar corner parts of the first and second pillar materials and the fixing positions may be distances corresponding to 20 to 30% of width of side surfaces of the first and second pillar materials.

Here, in the case where the distances L1 and L2 are distances less than 5% of the entire length of thepillar material 3, a stress on the connection parts between the diagonal materials and the pillar materials is excessive, and thus buckling of the diagonal materials and breakage of the connection parts are generated in an earlier stage. Meanwhile, in the case where the distances L1 and L2 exceed 20% of the entire length of thepillar material 3, force transmitted to the diagonal materials is extremely small, and thus a load bearing capacity of the entire frame is largely lowered. Therefore, the distances L1 and L2 are preferably distances corresponding to 5 to 20% of the entire length of thepillar material 3. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , theconnection member 10 is a member having a U shape cross section, and eight screw holes 10 a (refer toFIG. 3 ) are formed on one side surface thereof. Eightscrew holes FIG. 3 ) corresponding to the eight screw holes 10 a of theconnection member 10 are formed at an attachment position to theconnection member 10 on one side surface of thepillar material FIG. 3 , in theconnection member 10, screws 11 are fastened in a state that the screw holes 10 a thereof correspond to the screw holes 2 a of thepillar material 2 or the screw holes 3 a of thepillar material 3. - Provided that width of the one side surface of the
pillar material connection member 10 is D, theconnection member 10 is screwed at a position apart from both ends thereof towards the inside by a distance C. That is, the screw holes 2 a, 3 a and 10 a are formed at positions apart from pillar corner parts by the distance C. Here, the distance C between the pillar corner part and the screw fastening position is preferably a distance corresponding to 20 to 30% of the width D of an inner side surface of thepillar material connection member 10 at the position apart from the pillar corner part by a predetermined clearance is to absorb energy by plastically deforming theconnection member 10 in the case where the force in the direction of leaving apart from thepillar material 2 or 3 (the arrow direction ofFIG. 4 ) is imposed on the diagonal materials as shown inFIG. 4 . InFIG. 4 , theconnection member 10 before plastic deformation is shown by a broken line, and theconnection member 10 after the plastic deformation is shown by a heavy line. - Next, a description will be given to a load bearing frame according to a second embodiment of the present invention with reference to
FIG. 5 .FIG. 5 is a view showing a schematic configuration of the load bearing frame according to the second embodiment of the present invention.FIG. 5A is a front view,FIG. 5B is a bottom view andFIG. 5C is a side view. - A
load bearing frame 101 of the second embodiment (hereinafter, referred to as the frame 101) is different from theframe 1 of the first embodiment in terms of the point that two reinforcingmaterials frame 101 is the same as theframe 1 and thus given the same reference numerals and a detailed description thereof will be omitted. - The two reinforcing
materials material 102 is arranged on a near side surface of theframe 101, for connecting a central part of theframe material 4 and a central part of theframe material 5, and jointed to central parts of thediagonal materials 6 to 9. Similarly, the reinforcingmaterial 103 is arranged on an opposite side surface of theframe 101, for connecting the central part of theframe material 4 and the central part of theframe material 5, and jointed to the central parts of thediagonal materials 6 to 9. - Next, a description will be given to an evaluation test for the
frames FIGS. 6 and 7 .FIG. 6 is a view showing a fixing condition and a loading condition of the frame in the evaluation test.FIG. 7 is a view showing the result of the evaluation test and a relationship between a shear deformation angle and a horizontal load (an envelope of shear deformation angle-horizontal load curve). Here, the evaluation test is performed by repeatedly imposing the horizontal load on upper ends of theframes frames frames - In the conventional frame, the connection parts are broken and thus the test is ended. Meanwhile, in the
frame 1, the connection parts are not broken, and as seen from the test result inFIG. 6 , deformability and a maximum load are largely increased in comparison to the conventional frame. In theframe 1, the diagonal materials are finally plastically buckled and the test is ended. However, in theframe 101 to which the reinforcing materials are added, not only the breakage of the connection parts but also the buckling of the diagonal materials are not generated, and hence an energy absorption capacity which is higher than theframe 1 is obtained. - As mentioned above, in the
frames diagonal materials 6 to 9. The horizontal load is indirectly transmitted through the pillar materials between the corner parts of the frame and the diagonal materials (a part corresponding to between theconnection point 41 and theconnection point 43 of thepillar material 3, and a part corresponding to between theconnection part 47 and theconnection part 48 of the pillar material 3). Therefore, generation of the excessive stress in thediagonal materials 6 to 9 and the connection parts is suppressed. In comparison with the conventional frame in which the connection parts between the diagonal materials and the pillar materials correspond to the corner parts of the frame, since rigidity of the frame is reduced so as to facilitate deformation, it is possible to prevent sudden collapse after the maximum load is obtained. Therefore, in the present invention, the buckling of thediagonal materials 6 to 9 and the breakage of the connection parts in the earlier stage are suppressed, and the energy absorption capacity excellent in the deformability over the entire frame is obtained. - The
frames frames - The distances L1 and L2 are the distances corresponding to 5 to 20% of the entire length of the
pillar material 3. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the generation of the buckling of the diagonal materials and the breakage of the connection parts in the earlier stage, and also to prevent a large decrease in the load bearing capacity of the entire frame. - The
frame 101 is reinforced by the reinforcingmaterials diagonal materials 6 to 9 are longer than height of the frame (height of a rectangular frame) (in the case where a ratio between width and the height of the frame is large), it is possible to improve buckling strength of the diagonal materials. Therefore, it is possible to improve the load bearing capacity of the entire frame. - The
connection members 10 are screwed to thepillar materials pillar materials pillar materials diagonal materials 6 to 9, the energy is absorbed by the plastic deformation of theconnection members 10. Therefore, the load bearing capacity of the entire frame is improved. - The description is given to the preferred embodiments of the present invention above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various design modifications are available within the scope of the claims. For example, although the
frames diagonal materials 6 to 9 in the above embodiments, the number of the diagonal material may be changed. The distances L1 and L2 can also be changed.
