BRACE MEMBER

摘要

A buckling stiffening brace member eliminates welding time. Readily available components such as a steel rod and a steel pipe can be used as an axial force member and a stiffening member. The axial force member and the stiffening member can be easily connected in a dry manner by threads. A thread for screwing with a joint is formed at an end of an axial force member. At an end of a stiffening pipe that does not have a retaining ring, a sleeve for suppressing neck bending of the axial force member is joined to the outer surface of the axial force member. The axial force member and the stiffening pipe are joined together with the retaining ring therebetween by inserting an end of the axial force member that does not have the sleeve into the inner peripheral surface of the retaining ring and joining it to the retaining ring.

主权项

1. A brace member comprising:
an axial force member that forms a rod shape having a solid cross-section, that is installed between building structures by joints at both ends thereof, and that receives axial force; a stiffening pipe that forms a tubular shape, through which the axial force member is passed, and that supplements the stiffness of the axial force member; a retaining ring that is screwed to both an end of the stiffening pipe and the axial force member located inside it and that fixes the end of the stiffening pipe and the axial force member inside it to each other; and a sleeve that is interposed between an end of the stiffening pipe to which the retaining ring is not screwed and the axial force member located inside it, that is screwed on one of the outer periphery of the axial force member and the inner periphery of the stiffening pipe, and that forms a gap between itself and the other.
