Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention discloses a bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure and a bridge structure having the same, comprising a sleeve and a sliding rod; by adding a structure of a reducing part and a limiting body, a sliding gap exists between both ends of the limiting body and both inner ends of the reducing part; the rod body is connected with the inner side wall of the sleeve through an elastic element; the limiting body and the rod body can realize bidirectional slip in the sleeve, which have multi-level seismic performance.

First claim

The bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the sleeve ( 1 ) is fixedly connected with a fixing element ( 4 ), and the fixing element ( 4 ) is fixedly connected to the building component I. 3. The bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the sliding rod ( 2 ) away from the building component I is fixedly connected with an end plate ( 5 ), and the end plate ( 5 ) is fixedly connected to the building component II. 4. The bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure according to claim 1 , wherein the sleeve ( 1 ) has a circular section. 5. The bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure according to claim 4 , wherein the inner side wall of the sleeve ( 1 ) is coated with a lubricant coating and a corrosion resistant coating. 6. The bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure according to claim 1 , wherein the number of bidirectional collapse-proof dampers with a macroscopic NPR structure is one or a plurality of groups. 7. A building structure, comprising the bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure of claim 1 . 8. A building structure, comprising the bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure of claim 2 . 9. A building structure, comprising the bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure of claim 3 . 10. A building structure, comprising the bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure of claim 4 . 11. A building structure, comprising the bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure of claim 5 . 12. A building structure, comprising the bidirectional collapse-proof damper with a macroscopic NPR structure of claim 6 .
