- 2. Description of Related Art
- To enhance the strength of a structure, tie braces are mounted at an angle respectively between columns and beams supported by the columns in the structure to stiffen the frame of the structure, and shock-absorbing tie braces also absorb shocks to the structure. However, the conventional shock-absorbing tie brace lacks excellent capability for bearing buckling load, such that the conventional one is easily buckled or bent during an earthquake.
- To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide a shock-absorbing tie brace to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
- The main objective of the invention is to provide a shock-absorbing tie brace having excellent capability for bearing buckling load such that it is not easily bent or buckled. The shock-absorbing tie brace has a central member and an outer frame. The central member has two ends and multiple neck portions. Each neck portion has a dimension of cross section smaller than that of the ends to form multiple enlarged portions beside the neck portions on the central member. The outer frame is mounted around and encloses the central member.

FIG. 13 is a cross sectional perspective view of a thirteenth embodiment of a shock-absorbing tie brace in accordance with the present invention. - With reference to
FIG. 1 , a shock-absorbing tie brace in accordance with the present invention is mounted at an angle between a column (B) and a beam (A) of a structure and comprises a central member (10) and an outer frame (20). The central member (10) has two ends and multiple neck portions (11) between the ends. The ends of the central member (10) are attached respectively to the column (B) and the beam (A) of the building with bolts extending through bores defined in the ends of the central member (10). Earthquake shock will be absorbed by the deformation of the central member (10) of the shock-absorbing tie brace. - Each neck portion (11) has a dimension of cross section smaller than that of the ends to form multiple enlarged portions beside the neck portions (11). In a first embodiment, the central member (10) has three neck portions (11) as shown in
FIG. 1 . In a second embodiment, the central member (10′) has two neck portions (11) as shown inFIG. 2 . With the arrangement of the neck portions (11), the capability for bearing buckling load of the central member (10,10′) is: - Wherein,
-
- Pcr is the capability for bearing buckling load of the central member (10,10′);
- E is the Elastic Modulus of the central member (10,10′);
- I is the moment of inertia of the central member (10,10′); and
- L is the length of the neck portion (11).
- Accordingly, Pcr is inverse proportion to the square of the length of the neck portion (11). Therefore, the length of each neck portion (11) is smaller as the sum of the neck portions (11) on a central member (10,10′) becomes greater, such that the Pcr becomes bigger. For example, if the length of the neck portion (11) becomes 1/2 L, the Pcr, becomes:
- Consequently, the capability for bearing the buckling load of the central member (10,10′) is enhanced, so that the central member (10,10′) is not easily buckled or bent.
- The outer frame (20) is mounted around and encloses the central member (10).

The connecting plates (22) are securely attached respectively to adjacent tubular elements (21), such that the central member (10) is enclosed between the tubular elements (21) and the connecting plates (22). A gap is defined between the central member (10) and each tubular element (21) to allow the deformation of the central member (10), but the outer frame (20) can keep the central member (10) from buckling during the deformation of the central member (10).
- In addition, at least one of the ends or the enlarged portions of the central member (10) is securely attached to the outer frame (20) to limit the deformation of the central member (10) to a small range.
