Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A damping splice sleeve may include an outer cylinder, a damping material, an inner cylinder. The outer cylinder is a hollow cylinder with partition. The partition divides the cylinder into two smaller cylinders. The two smaller cylinders have no connection with each other. Both ends of the outer cylinder are open. The inner cylinder includes two hollow cylinders with one end closed and the other end open. The damping material is installed between inner cylinder and outer cylinder. The damping splice sleeve can be used for the components' connections of precast building structures with vibration control requirements. When the load effects make the components have relative displacement, the damping material in the damping splice sleeve can have shear deformation and then dissipate energy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A damping splice sleeve comprising: an outer cylinder, comprising a hollow cylinder with a partition therein that divides the outer cylinder into two opposing smaller cylinders, each with a closed end adjacent the partition, and an open end opposite the closed end thereof; a middle cylinder within one of the two smaller cylinders of the outer cylinder, the middle cylinder comprising a closed end adjacent the partition, and an open end opposite the closed end thereof; a first inner cylinder within the middle cylinder, the first inner cylinder comprising a closed end adjacent the partition, and an open end opposite the closed end thereof; and a damping material installed between the outer cylinder and the middle cylinder, and between the middle cylinder and the first inner cylinder; wherein a first rebar is connected within the open end of the first inner cylinder.
