In FIG. 1, an anti-vibration frame of the present invention includes an upper frame member 21 provided to extend downward from an upper beam 11 and a lower frame member provided to extend upward from a lower beam 12. A viscoelastic body 23 is sandwiched between the upper frame member 21 and the lower frame member 22 which are provided so as to overlap each other with a minute gap therebetween, thereby forming a low vibration damping portion 20. On the other hand, a low yield point steel plate 25 as a plastic member is provided at a predetermined position of the lower frame member 22.

The upper frame member 21 is formed of an H-section steel, and the upper end thereof is fixed to the beam 11. Further, from the H-shaped steel constituting the upper frame member 21, the entire lower end of the web 21b is cut out, and the holding plate 21f, 21f, 21d is provided on both sides of the lower end of the web 21b via reinforcing plates 21e, 21d, respectively.
21c is bonded. These reinforcing plates 21e, 21d
Is formed to have a width such that both sides contact the flanges 21a, 21a of the H-section steel, and the lower end thereof is arranged to extend to the same position as the lower end of the cut-out web 21b. On the other hand, the holding plates 21f and 21c are formed so as to have a width such that both sides thereof are in contact with the flange 21a, and are disposed so that the lower ends thereof extend to the same positions as the lower ends of the both sides flanges 21a. With such an arrangement, the opposing surfaces of the sandwiching plates 21f and 21c, the web 21b and the reinforcing plate 2
A concave groove is formed which is surrounded by lower end sides of 1e and 21d and inner surfaces of both side flanges 21a.
“a” also functions as a pressing member for defining the deformation of the low vibration damping portion 20 within a predetermined range.

The lower frame member 22 is made of H-section steel, and its lower end is fixed to the beam 12. Then, from the upper end portion of the H-shaped steel constituting the lower frame member 22, the flanges on both sides are removed by a predetermined length while leaving the web 22b, and the width of the remaining web 22b is adjusted so as to fit into the concave groove, Thus, the fitting plate 22b 'is formed, and the reinforcing member 22d is bridged between the flanges 22a on both sides so as to contact the lower end portions of the fitting plate 22b' and fixed by welding. Further, in the H-shaped steel portion of the lower frame member 22, a predetermined length of the web 22b is cut out over the entire width,
The low yield point steel plate 25 is fitted into the notch and fixed by welding, and the upper and lower webs 22b of the low yield point steel plate 25 are fixed.
The reinforcements 22e and 22c are bridged between the flanges 22a on both sides so as to abut on both surfaces thereof, and fixed by welding. It is preferable that an H-shaped steel web 22b is interposed between the low yield point steel plate 25 and the fitting plate 22b 'as shown in FIG. 2, but these two members are arranged so as to be continuous. It is also possible.

The above-described upper frame member 21 and lower frame member 2
2 are arranged in a positional relationship such that the fitting plate 22b 'fits into the groove, and the fitting plate 22b' is sandwiched between the holding plates 21c and 21f as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b).
Are arranged so as to overlap each other with a minute interval between them, and a viscoelastic body 23 is interposed in this minute gap,
Due to the viscoelastic body 22, these plates 22b ',
21c and 21f are mutually clamped. The fitting plate 22b 'is provided with a clearance 26 having a predetermined length between its upper side and the lower ends of the reinforcing plates 21d and 21e and the web 21b.
And a clearance 24 having a predetermined length is also provided between the side and the inner surfaces of the flanges 21a, 21a. Further, the viscoelastic body 23 exhibits a mechanical behavior having both fluid-like viscosity and spring-like elasticity, and an acrylic polymer material or a rubber-based polymer material that absorbs vibration as heat energy. Is used.

In the vibration control frame having the above-described structure, vibration energy of various strengths can be absorbed, and the vibration of the structure can be attenuated. In other words, for relatively small-amplitude vibrations acting on the structure due to a small-to-medium-sized earthquake or wind, the viscoelastic body 23 of the low-vibration damping section 20 absorbs vibration energy by shear deformation. In other words, when rolling acts on the structure, the pillar 1
The frame composed of the beam 3 and the beams 11 and 12 is deformed, and a relative displacement in the horizontal direction occurs between the upper frame member 21 and the lower frame member 22. Due to this displacement, the fitting plate 22b '
Moves in the double-headed arrow H direction shown in FIG. 2 (a) in the concave groove, but this movement is absorbed by the shear deformation of the viscoelastic body 23, whereby the roll of the structure is attenuated.

For large amplitude vibration, the viscoelastic body 2
In addition to the shear deformation of No. 3, vibration energy is absorbed by plasticizing the low yield point steel plate 25. That is, when the relative displacement between the upper frame member 21 and the lower frame member 22 reaches a predetermined length, the fitting plate 22b 'comes into contact with the inner surface of the flange 21a, and thereby the material of the frame members 21 and 22 is formed. Deformation in the direction perpendicular to the axis is suppressed. When the load further increases to a predetermined value or more in a state where the fitting plate 22b 'and the inner surface of the flange 21a are in contact with each other, the low yield point steel plate 25 is plastically deformed and absorbs vibration energy. Therefore, since the deformation and the load at the distal end of the vibration damping frame do not exceed a certain value, the viscoelastic body 23 of the low vibration damping section 20 can be prevented from breaking.

[0015]

The vibration damping frame of the present invention comprises an upper and lower frame member, a low vibration damping portion including a viscoelastic body, and a plastic member having lower strength than the upper and lower frame members and higher strength than the low vibration damping portion. For small amplitude vibrations caused by wind or small and medium earthquakes,
Vibration with a large amplitude due to shear deformation by a viscoelastic body absorbs vibration energy by shear deformation by the viscoelastic body and plasticization of a plastic member. Can be controlled.

In the present invention, since the load applied to the low vibration damping portion can be suppressed to a certain value or less by plasticizing the plastic member, it is possible to prevent the viscoelastic body from breaking. Furthermore, by providing a pressing member for defining the deformation of the tip portion holding the viscoelastic body within a predetermined range,
It is possible to reliably prevent the viscoelastic body from breaking, and arbitrarily set the deformation at which the plasticization of the plastic member starts.
