Tie rod for structural projects
The tie rod for structural projects for the protection of structures for earthquake and wind is comprised of a cast iron base (7) which has a bolt (4) passing through a hole, which is surrounded by threaded ring (5) with handles (6). A base plate (2) that sits on the bolt and turns with a ball bearing. A steel cable (9) passes through all; the one end of the cable is fixed to the base (2) with bolts (3). The other end leads to a member with blades around it (10), (12), (13), (14) which open and close around the member (17) with the help of bars (11) connected around the axis of the member with pins. To the other end, they are connected with pins to the blades. The rod presses the structure to the ground by a bolt connected to a cable which pulls a member (17) with blades which open against the sides of a hole drilled on the ground and pull the building towards the ground decreasing torque created by the forces of an earthquake or the wind. It is used on buildings with a frame, continuous building, wood frame houses with storm problems, cable bridges, loose ground slopes, etc.
Earthquake resisting design method on the basis of PC binding articulation construction method
In an earthquake resisting design method of a PC construction, a column and a beam, which are high-strength precast prestress concrete members, are joined by binding juncture with a prestressing tendon. A grout is filled and bonded. A first stage linear resilient design is employed, where all construction members are not damaged, for earthquakes up to a predetermined earthquake load design value. A second stage linear resilient design is employed, where earthquake energy is absorbed by breakage of the bond of the grout, and principal construction members are not damaged, for earthquakes exceeding the predetermined earthquake load design value. By employing a non-linear resilient design in which the first stage linear resilient design and the second stage linear resilient design are combined, an earthquake-resisting design level is significantly increased, and the construction can resist earthquakes exceeding a seismic intensity 6 upper.
