Description

The present invention relates to a slip isolation device and a bridge including the slip isolation device.

In Japan, which is an earthquake-prone country, various types of seismic resistance are being applied to various structures such as buildings, bridges, elevated roads, and detached houses, such as technology to withstand seismic force and technology to reduce seismic force entering structures. Technology, seismic isolation technology and seismic control technology have been developed and applied to various structures. Above all, the seismic isolation technology is a technology for reducing the seismic force itself entering the structure, and therefore the vibration of the structure during an earthquake is effectively reduced. An outline of this seismic isolation technology is to interpose a seismic isolation device between the lower structure and the upper structure to reduce the transmission of vibration of the lower structure due to an earthquake to the upper structure and to prevent the vibration of the upper structure. It reduces the amount and guarantees structural stability.

There are various types of seismic isolation devices such as a lead rubber laminated rubber bearing device, a high damping laminated rubber bearing device, a combined rubber bearing and damper device, and a sliding seismic isolation device. Among them, there are two types of slide seismic isolation devices, a plane slide seismic isolation bearing and a spherical slide seismic isolation bearing.The plane slide seismic isolation bearing has no restoring force, but the spherical slip seismic isolation bearing has restoring force. It has a self-centering function. Here, an example of the spherical slide base isolation bearing will be described, and its configuration will be described. The upper and lower shoes provided with a sliding surface having a curvature, and the respective shoes provided between the upper and the lower shoes. And a slider having an upper surface and a lower surface having the same curvature as that of each shoe, and this type of sliding seismic isolation device is called a double concave type seismic isolation device. Sometimes. In addition, as another form, for example, there is a slide seismic isolation device in which a slider is fixed to the upper shoe and the upper shoe and the slider slide against the lower shoe. It is also called a seismic isolation device.

By the way, the magnitude (level) of an earthquake includes level 1 in which the probability of occurrence in the near future is high, but damage is limited to small and medium-scale, and level 2 in which the probability of occurrence is not high but may cause major damage. In addition, recently, there is a case in which an earthquake that has a very low probability of occurrence but may cause serious damage is assumed to be level 3 and is assumed to be about 1.5 times the level 2 earthquake motion. It should be noted that Level 1 and Level 2 correspond to medium and large earthquakes, respectively, and Level 3 is not specified in the design standard, but is positioned as the largest earthquake level set when considering the worst case. Has been. In this specification, the level 3 earthquake may be referred to as a major earthquake, or both the level 2 and level 3 earthquakes may be referred to as a major earthquake.

If the seismic isolation device is designed assuming level 1 seismic motion, the level 2 seismic motion is an unexpected earthquake, and if the slip seismic isolation device is designed for level 2 seismic motion, the level is 3 Although the earthquake motion is an unexpected earthquake, when such an unexpected earthquake occurs, in the conventional slip isolation device, the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the lower structure and the upper structure is the critical deformation amount. May exceed. When the relative displacement amount of the lower structure and the upper structure exceeds the limit deformation amount, for example, the upper structure may drop from the upper shoe. In response to such a problem, when an unexpected earthquake occurs, the slider slides on the sliding surface, and the lower shoe and the upper shoe make a large horizontal relative displacement, resulting in a ring shape on the lower shoe or the upper shoe. There has been proposed a sliding bearing that restricts further relative displacement between the lower shoe and the upper shoe by the stopper abutting from the outside in the horizontal direction (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP, 2015-209730, A

According to the sliding bearing described in Patent Document 1, when an unexpected earthquake occurs, the horizontal relative displacement amount between the lower shoe and the upper shoe can be restricted by the stopper, so that the sliding bearing is fail-safe. A function can be added, excessive relative displacement of the lower structure and the upper structure in the horizontal direction can be regulated, and dropping of the upper structure from the upper shoe can be eliminated.

Here, Patent Document 1 describes an embodiment in which the sliding bearing is provided between a bridge pier (lower structure) and a bridge girder (upper structure) of a girder bridge. Although this description example shows an example of movement in the direction orthogonal to the bridge axis, generally, there are a fixed bearing that absorbs only the rotation of the upper structure and a movable bearing that absorbs the rotation and expansion and contraction of the upper structure, In a plurality of bridge piers (including abutments) arranged apart from each other in the bridge axis direction, a movable bearing and a fixed bearing are installed, and a bridge girder is supported by each bearing. With this configuration, the movable bearing can handle expansion and contraction in the bridge axis direction due to temperature changes in the upper structure including the main girder and live load, while the bridge is always in service when combined with a fixed bearing and a movable bearing. Performance is guaranteed.

As described above, there are multiple levels of earthquakes. For example, in level 1 earthquake motion, relative movement of the upper shoe to the lower shoe that constitutes the fixed bearing is not allowed in the bridge axis direction, and a large earthquake such as a level 2 earthquake is not allowed. By permitting relative movement in various directions including the bridge axis direction and the bridge axis direction, it becomes possible to prevent damage to the piers during a large earthquake. In addition, the movable bearing should allow relative movement of the upper shoe to the lower shoe in the bridge axis direction at all times, while allowing relative movement in various directions in the same manner as the fixed bearing in the event of a large earthquake. With this, in combination with the action of the fixed bearing, damage to the bridge, especially to the pier, can be suppressed.

However, although Patent Document 1 describes a ring-shaped stopper having a fail-safe function, a sliding seismic isolation device that constitutes a fixed bearing, a movable bearing, etc. exerts a suitable function according to each earthquake level. Therefore, there is no disclosure of means for suppressing damage to the upper structure and the lower structure in the event of a large earthquake.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and can exhibit suitable functions according to each earthquake level, and can prevent damage to the upper structure and the lower structure during a large earthquake. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a seismic isolation device and a bridge which is equipped with the sliding seismic isolation device especially for fixed bearings.

In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the slip isolation device according to the present invention is:
A sliding seismic isolation device having an upper shoe and a lower shoe, and a slider slidable between the upper shoe and the lower shoe,
The upper shoe and the lower shoe are fixed to each other by a pair of movement direction restricting jigs that straddle the upper shoe and the lower shoe.
The movement direction regulation jig is
For one of the upper shoe or the lower shoe, fixed by a first knock-off bolt having a breaking portion that is broken when a horizontal force of a first predetermined value or more is applied, and the upper shoe or the lower shoe is On the other hand, it is fixed with a bolt different from the first knock-off bolt,
When the first knock-off bolt is broken, the relative movement direction of the upper shoe with respect to the lower shoe is regulated by the pair of movement direction regulating jigs.

According to this aspect, when the horizontal force of the first predetermined value or more does not act, the upper shoe and the lower shoe are fixed by the first knock-off bolt and the bolt having no breakage portion through the movement direction restricting jig. As a result, the relative movement of the upper shoe and the lower shoe can be restricted. On the other hand, when a horizontal force equal to or more than the first predetermined value is applied, the first knock-off bolt is broken, so that the relative movement of the upper shoe with respect to the lower shoe is allowed. Here, the "relative movement of the upper shoe relative to the lower shoe" includes both the movement of the upper shoe with respect to the lower shoe and the movement of the lower shoe with respect to the upper shoe. In this aspect, since the moving direction of the lower shoe and the upper shoe are regulated by the pair of moving direction regulating jigs, the upper shoe can be moved relative to the lower shoe by breaking the first knock-off bolt, for example. In this case, the relative movement of the upper shoe is allowed while the relative movement direction of the upper shoe is regulated by the pair of movement direction regulating jigs fixed to the lower shoe by the bolts.

Here, examples of the “horizontal force having a first predetermined value” include a horizontal force that acts during a level 2 earthquake or a level 3 earthquake. The slip isolation device of this aspect can be applied to any structure such as a bridge, an elevated road, and a house, but is preferably applied to a fixed bearing of the bridge. When the horizontal force of the first predetermined value is set as the horizontal force in the case of a large earthquake such as a level 2 earthquake, the relative movement between the upper and lower shoes is restricted and fixed at all times or during a level 1 earthquake. Support is maintained. On the other hand, when a horizontal force equal to or greater than the first predetermined value is applied, the first knock-off bolt breaks, and the pair of moving direction regulating jigs causes the upper shoe to regulate the moving direction, for example, in the bridge axis direction with respect to the lower shoe. By being able to move while being moved, the seismic isolation function of the slip isolation device is exerted by the movement of the upper structure including the bridge girder supported by the upper shoe.

Another aspect of the slip isolation device according to the present invention is that a bolt different from the first knock-off bolt is broken when a horizontal force of a second predetermined value or more larger than the first predetermined value is applied. It is a second knock-off bolt with a break,
When the second knock-off bolt is broken, the relative movement direction of the upper shoe with respect to the lower shoe is not restricted.

According to this aspect, the upper shoe and the lower shoe are fixed by the first knock-off bolt and the second knock-off bolt that breaks at a breaking strength higher than the breaking strength of the first knock-off bolt through the pair of movement direction restricting jigs. By doing so, it is possible to break the corresponding knock-off bolt for two-level earthquakes, and to cause relative movement of the upper shoe with respect to the lower shoe according to each earthquake. For example, the first predetermined value of horizontal force can be set to the horizontal force at the level 2 earthquake, and the second predetermined value of horizontal force can be set to the horizontal force at the level 3 earthquake.

When a level 2 earthquake occurs and a horizontal force above the first predetermined value is applied, the first knock-off bolt is broken, and the pair of moving direction regulating jigs causes the upper shoe to move in the moving direction relative to the lower shoe, for example. By being able to move while being restricted in the bridge axis direction, the seismic isolation function of the slip isolation device is exerted by the movement of the upper structure including the bridge girder supported by the upper shoe.

On the other hand, for example, when an unexpected Level 3 earthquake occurs and a horizontal force equal to or greater than the second predetermined value is applied, both the first knock-off bolt and the second knock-off bolt are broken, and the pair of movement direction restrictions The jig is completely disengaged from the upper shoe and the lower shoe, and there is no restriction on the moving direction of the upper shoe with respect to the lower shoe, and the upper shoe can freely move relative to the lower shoe in a free direction (360 degrees direction). Therefore, it is possible to suppress the horizontal force from an unexpected Level 3 earthquake from acting on the upper structure, and it is possible to effectively prevent the lower structure from being damaged (damaged) by the shear force resulting from the horizontal force from the Level 3 earthquake. Can be suppressed.

Further, in another aspect of the slip isolation device according to the present invention, the movement direction restricting jig has a U-shaped cross section for sandwiching the ends of the upper shoe and the lower shoe. And

According to this aspect, since the left and right ends of the upper shoe and the lower shoe are respectively sandwiched by the pair of movement direction restricting jigs having a U-shaped cross section, seismic motion in the vertical direction and For the flexural vibrations associated with it, and for the lifting force that can be generated due to the overturning moment at the top of the pier (installation position of the seismic isolation device) due to the eccentricity of the center of gravity, such as a curved girder. , It is possible to suppress the risk of falling the upper shoe from the lower shoe.

In addition, one aspect of the bridge according to the present invention is
The slip isolation device,
An upper structure and a lower structure in which the sliding seismic isolation device is interposed as a fixed bearing,
It is characterized in that the pair of moving direction regulating jigs facing each other are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the bridge axis on the upper surface of the lower structure.

According to this aspect, since the slip isolation device of the present invention forms the fixed bearing, for example, at the time of constant or level 1 earthquake, while maintaining the function of the fixed bearing, a large earthquake such as a level 2 earthquake is maintained. In this case, the upper shoe moves relative to the lower shoe in the axial direction of the bridge, so that the seismic isolation performance of the slip isolation device can be exhibited. In addition, when the slip isolation device has the first knock-off bolt and the second knock-off bolt, by allowing the upper shoe to move freely relative to the lower shoe when an unexpected Level 3 earthquake occurs, It is possible to effectively prevent the lower structure from being damaged by the shearing force resulting from the vibration of the upper structure when the horizontal force due to the level 3 earthquake acts on the upper structure.

As can be understood from the above description, according to the slip isolation device and the bridge of the present invention, it is possible to exhibit a suitable function in accordance with each earthquake level, and it is possible to realize the upper structure and the lower structure at the time of a large earthquake. It is possible to prevent damage.

In the present specification and the drawings, substantially the same components may be denoted by the same reference numerals to omit redundant description.

[Bridge and slip isolation device according to the embodiment]
First, an example of the bridge according to the embodiment and an example of the slip isolation device according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11. Here, FIG. 1 is a side view of an example of the bridge according to the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of an example of the slip isolation device according to the embodiment. 3 is a view in the direction of arrows III-III in FIG. 2, which is a vertical cross-sectional view of an example of the slip isolation device according to the embodiment, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of section IV in FIG. 3. .. Further, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an example of the slip isolation device according to the embodiment, and FIG. 6 illustrates the slip isolation device according to the embodiment interposed between the upper structure and the lower structure as a fixed bearing. It is the longitudinal cross-sectional view which looked at the state which is doing in the bridge axis direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bridge 100 is a sliding seismic isolation device 30 that is a fixed bearing for a plurality of piers 20 (lower structure) made of, for example, reinforced concrete and arranged at intervals in the bridge axial direction. It is formed by supporting the upper structure 10 through a sliding base isolation device 40 which is a movable bearing. In the illustrated example, one continuous upper structure 10 is supported by five bridge piers 20, and among the five bridge piers 20, a fixed bearing 30 is arranged at the top of one bridge pier 20. The movable bearings 40 are arranged at the tops of the other four piers 20, but the number of the piers 20 supporting one superstructure 10 and the number of fixed bearings 30 are various.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sliding base isolation device 30 forming the fixed support of the bridge 100 has an upper shoe 31 and a lower shoe 32, and a slider 38 slidable between the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32. ..

Both the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32 are made of rolled steel for welding steel (SM490A, B, C, or SN490B, C, or S45C), or SUS material, cast steel, cast iron, or the like. The lower surface of the upper shoe 31 has a housing groove 31b in which a spherical surface above the slider 38 having a substantially hemispherical shape is housed and fixed, and a part above the slider 38 is fitted into the housing groove 31b. On the other hand, the upper surface of the lower shoe 32 is a sliding surface 32b on which the lower surface of the slider 38 having a substantially hemispherical shape (a surface that is nearly flat and has a curvature) slides, and the sliding surface 32b has a sliding surface made of stainless steel. A plate (not shown) or the like is fixed. A stopper ring 33 is provided on the outer circumference of the lower shoe 32 to prevent the slider 38 from falling off.

As described above, the sliding seismic isolation device 30 of the illustrated example is a single concave type or single pendulum type seismic isolation device in which the slider 38 is fixed to the upper shoe 31 and the slider 38 slides on the lower shoe 32. However, the seismic isolation device may be such that the slider is fixed to the lower shoe and the slider slides on the lower sliding surface of the upper shoe. Furthermore, with a double-concave type in which the slider slides on both the upper and lower shoes, or a triple-concave type with more concaves in the double concave, or a seismic isolation device with more concaves. It may be.

The slider 38 has a substantially hemispherical shape with a lower surface having a curvature, and similarly to the upper shoe 31 etc., the rolled steel for welding steel (SM490A, B, C, or SN490B, C, or S45C), or SUS. It is made of steel, cast steel, cast iron, etc.

As shown clearly in FIG. 3, the left and right ends of the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32 are fixed to each other by a pair of movement direction restricting jigs 35 extending over the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32. More specifically, a recess 31a is provided above the end of the upper shoe 31 and a recess 32a is provided below the end of the lower shoe 32. A U-shaped steel movement-direction restricting jig 35 is fitted from above and below to sandwich the ends of the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the movement direction restricting jig 35 holds the ends of the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32, the moving direction restricting jig 35 and the upper shoe 31 are fixed by the first knock-off bolt 50. The moving direction regulation jig 35 and the lower shoe 32 are fixed by the second knock-off bolt 60.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first knock-off bolt 50 includes a steel rod 51 having a fractured portion 54 with a reduced diameter, and a nut 52 screwed to a screw thread formed at the upper and lower ends of the steel rod 51. , 53, and the steel rod 51 is inserted through the bolt holes provided in both the upper shoe 31 and the movement direction restricting jig 35, and the nuts 52, 53 are tightened at the upper and lower ends of the steel rod 51. As a result, the upper shoe 31 and the movement direction restricting jig 35 are fixed.

On the other hand, the second knock-off bolt 60 also has a steel rod 61 having a fractured portion 64 with a reduced diameter, and nuts 62 and 63 screwed to the threads formed on the upper and lower ends of the steel rod 61. Then, the steel rod 61 is inserted through the bolt holes provided in both the lower shoe 32 and the movement direction restricting jig 35, and the nuts 62 and 63 are tightened at the upper and lower ends of the steel rod 61, thereby lowering the lower shoe 32. The moving direction regulation jig 35 is fixed. The steel rod 61 has a larger diameter than the steel rod 51, and the breaking strength of the breaking portion 64 is set higher than the breaking strength of the breaking portion 54.

As shown in FIG. 5, in the sliding seismic isolation device 30 of the illustrated example, the left and right ends of the upper shoe 31 are fixed by the movement direction restricting jig 35 and the three first knock-off bolts 50, respectively. The left and right ends of are fixed by the movement direction restricting jig 35 and three second knock-off bolts 60, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 6 in which the fixed support 30 is interposed between the lower structure 20 and the upper structure 10 and the bridge pier 20 is viewed from the bridge axis direction, at the top end of the bridge pier 20, the bridge piers 20 are spaced at right angles to the bridge axis. Two fixed bearings 30 are fixed. A steel base plate (not shown) with an anchor bolt is fixed to the top end of the pier 20 by embedding the anchor bolt in the pier 20, and the fixed bearing 30 is bolted to the base plate. It is fixed by

As shown in FIG. 6, a pair of movement direction regulating jigs 35 for fixing the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32 in the fixed bearing 30 are arranged in the direction perpendicular to the bridge axis on the upper surface of the bridge pier 20 which is the lower structure. There is.

The upper structure 10 is composed of a steel main girder 11 formed of I-shaped steel having upper and lower flanges and a web, and a steel cross girder 12 connecting the webs of the left and right main girders 11 to each other. A reinforcing rib (not shown) may be projected from the web, and the reinforcing rib and the cross beam 12 may be bolted to each other via a splice plate (not shown). Reinforcing ribs may be attached at intervals. Further, the upper structure 10 is not limited to the combination of the main girder 11 and the cross girder 12 made of the I-shaped steel in the illustrated example, and may be formed of a main girder or a box girder of a truss structure, a concrete girder, or the like.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the horizontal force P at the time of an earthquake acts on the fixed support 30, both the first knock-off bolt 50 and the second knock-off bolt 60 extending in the vertical direction act as a shearing force.

In addition, due to vertical earthquake motions and flexural vibrations associated therewith, and also due to the overturning moment at the top end of the pier 20 due to the center of gravity becoming an eccentric portion such as a curved girder, the lifting force on the fixed bearing 30 is increased. Can act. In the illustrated fixed bearing 30, the left and right ends of the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32 are respectively clamped by the pair of movement direction restricting jigs 35 having a U-shaped cross section. It is possible to suppress the risk of the upper shoe 31 falling off from the lower shoe 32 against the upward lift force that may act due to these various factors.

In addition to the shape of the moving direction regulating jig having a U-shaped cross-section as shown in the figure, for example, the cross-sectional shape has an L-shape, and the lower part and the lower shoe 32 are The second knock-off bolt 60 may be fixed in the same configuration as the example, and the upper side thereof may be fixed by the first knock-off bolt 50 on the side surface of the upper shoe 31. As still another form, via a plate-shaped movement direction restricting jig, the upper side thereof is fixed by the first knock-off bolt 50 on the side surface of the upper shoe 31 and the lower side thereof is fixed by the second knock-off bolt 60 on the side surface of the lower shoe 32. It may be fixed by.

Further, the fixed bearing 30 in the illustrated example has a form in which the movement direction restricting jig 35 is fixed to the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32 by the first knock-off bolt 50 and the second knock-off bolt 60. The restricting jig 35 and the lower shoe 32 may be fixed by a bolt having no breakage portion. In this form, the fixed state of the movement direction restricting jig 35 and the lower shoe 32 is maintained against an earthquake of any scale, and the first knock-off bolt 50 breaks and the lower shoe 32 is broken, for example, in a level 2 earthquake. Relative movement of the upper shoe 31 and the upper structure 10 in the bridge axis direction is allowed.

Here, FIG. 7 shows a relationship diagram of the relative displacement amount of the upper shoe 31 with respect to the lower shoe 32 and the horizontal force during the earthquake, in which the first knock-off bolt 50 and the second knock-off bolt 60 are broken. It also shows the horizontal force.

In FIG. 7, the level 1 earthquake, the level 2 earthquake, and the level 3 earthquake are indicated by P1, P2, and P3, respectively, and the maximum displacement that interferes with the stopper ring due to the relative displacement between the upper and lower shoes is umax, and the first knock-off is performed. The relative displacement at which the bolt breaks is u2, and the relative displacement at which the second knock-off bolt breaks is u3. In the fixed bearing 30, the breaking strength of the breaking portion 54 of the first knock-off bolt 50 is set as the horizontal force P2 of the level 2 earthquake (an example of the first predetermined value), and the breaking strength of the breaking portion 64 of the second knock-off bolt 60 is set. The breaking strength is set as a horizontal force P3 (an example of a second predetermined value) of a level 3 earthquake. The seismic level and the breakage of each knock-off bolt can be set as appropriate, and the first knock-off bolt 50 is broken by the horizontal force P1 of the level 1 earthquake and the second knock-off bolt 60 is broken by the horizontal force P2 of the level 2 earthquake. It may be set to break. Further, each relative displacement amount and each horizontal force at each earthquake, u1 and P1, u2 and P2, u3 and P3, are appropriately set depending on the earthquake motion applied at the time of design, the place where the bridge 100 is constructed, and the like. It

Returning to FIG. 4, since the breaking strength of the second knock-off bolt 60 is higher than the breaking strength of the first knock-off bolt 50, in the illustrated example, a steel rod 61 having a relatively large diameter is applied and the breaking portion 64 is broken. The strength is also set relatively high.

Next, a mode of relative movement of the upper shoe 31 with respect to the lower shoe 32 in the fixed bearing 30 during the level 2 earthquake and the level 3 earthquake will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11. Here, FIG. 8 shows a state in which the first knock-off bolt is broken in the sliding seismic isolation apparatus (fixed bearing) according to the embodiment, and the upper shoe moves relative to the lower shoe in the bridge axis direction. It is a top view. FIG. 9 is a view taken along the line IX-IX in FIG. 8, and is a vertical cross-sectional view showing a state in which the upper shoe is relatively moving in the bridge axis direction with respect to the lower shoe, and FIG. FIG. 10 is a perspective view corresponding to FIGS. 8 and 9. Further, FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a state in which the second knock-off bolt is broken in the sliding seismic isolation apparatus (fixed bearing) according to the embodiment, and the upper shoe moves relative to the lower shoe in a free direction. It is a figure.

As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, when the first knock-off bolt 50 breaks and the second knock-off bolt 60 does not break due to the level 2 earthquake, the fixed state of the lower shoe 32 and the movement direction restricting jig 35 is maintained. Therefore, in the main girder 11 and the upper shoe 31 which are bolted to each other, the pair of left and right movement direction restricting jigs 35 serve as guides by the sliding of the slider 38 with respect to the lower shoe 32 in the bridge axis direction. Can be moved freely. That is, the upper shoe 31 is relatively movable in the bridge axis direction with respect to the lower shoe 32. However, since the stopper ring 33 is provided on the outer periphery of the sliding surface of the lower shoe 32, the slider 38 is prevented from sliding excessively and falling off.

When a level 2 earthquake occurs and a horizontal force equal to or greater than the first predetermined value (horizontal force P2) is applied, the first knock-off bolt 50 breaks, and the pair of moving direction regulating jigs 35 cause the lower shoe 32 to move. Since the upper shoe 31 can move while the movement direction is restricted to the bridge axis direction, the seismic isolation function of the slip isolation device 30 is exerted by the movement of the upper structure 10 including the main girder 11 supported by the upper shoe 31. ..

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, when the second knock-off bolt 60 breaks due to a level 3 earthquake, the first knock-off bolt 50 also breaks, and therefore the upper shoe 31 and the lower shoe 32 are completely fixed. Will be released. Therefore, when a large-scale earthquake of level 3 occurs, it is possible to allow the upper shoe 31 to move freely relative to the lower shoe 32. As a result, the horizontal force due to the level 3 earthquake is suppressed from acting on the upper structure 10 via the fixed bearing 30, and the seismic isolation effect causes the horizontal force due to the level 3 earthquake to act on the upper structure 10. It is possible to suppress the shearing force caused by the vibration of the upper structure 10 and effectively prevent the lower structure 20 from being damaged.

[Example of movable support for bridge]

Here, FIG. 12 is a plan view of an example of a sliding base isolation device serving as a movable bearing, and FIG. 13 is a view taken along arrow XIII-XIII of FIG. 12, showing an example of a sliding base isolation device serving as a movable bearing. 14 is a vertical cross-sectional view of FIG. 14, and FIG. 14 is an enlarged view of the XIV portion of FIG. 13. Further, FIG. 15 is a perspective view of an example of a sliding seismic isolation device serving as a movable bearing, and FIG. 16 is a sliding seismic isolation device serving as a movable bearing interposed between an upper structure and a lower structure. It is the longitudinal cross-sectional view which looked at the state in the bridge axis direction. Further, FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing a state where the upper shoe is relatively moved in the bridge axis direction with respect to the lower shoe in a state where the second knock-off bolt is not broken in the sliding base isolation device which is the movable bearing. FIG. 18 is a perspective view showing a state where the second knock-off bolt is broken and the upper shoe moves relative to the lower shoe in a free direction in the sliding base isolation device serving as the movable support.

In the bridge 100 shown in FIG. 1, of the five bridge piers 20 supporting one continuous upper structure 10, the movable bearings 40 are arranged at the top ends of the four bridge piers 20.

As shown in FIG. 12, the sliding base isolation device 40 forming the movable bearing of the bridge 100 has an upper shoe 41, a lower shoe 42, and a slider 48 slidable between the upper shoe 41 and the lower shoe 42. .. The lower surface of the upper shoe 41 has a housing groove 41b in which a spherical surface above the slider 48 having a substantially hemispherical shape is housed and fixed, and a portion above the slider 48 is fitted into the housing groove 41b. On the other hand, the upper surface of the lower shoe 42 is a sliding surface 42b on which the lower surface (sliding surface having a curvature) of the hemispherical slider 48 slides. Further, a stopper ring 43 for preventing the slider 48 from falling off is provided on the outer periphery of the lower shoe 42.

As clearly shown in FIG. 13, the left and right ends of the upper shoe 41 and the lower shoe 42 are fixed to the lower shoe 42 by a pair of movement direction restricting jigs 45 extending over the upper shoe 41 and the lower shoe 42. Are fixed so that they can move relative to each other. More specifically, a recess 41a is provided above the end of the upper shoe 41, and a recess 42a is provided below the end of the lower shoe 42. A U-shaped steel movement direction restricting jig 45 is fitted from above and below to sandwich the ends of the upper and lower shoes 41 and 42.

As shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, in the state where the movement direction restricting jig 45 holds the ends of the upper shoe 41 and the lower shoe 42, the moving direction restricting jig 45 and the upper shoe 41 are not fixed, The moving direction restricting jig 45 and the lower shoe 42 are fixed by the second knock-off bolt 60, as in the fixed support 30.

As shown in FIG. 16 in which the movable bearing 40 is interposed between the lower structure 20 and the upper structure 10 and viewed from the bridge axis direction, as shown in FIG. Two movable bearings 40 are fixed. A steel base plate (not shown) with an anchor bolt is fixed to the top end of the pier 20 by embedding the anchor bolt in the pier 20, and the movable bearing 40 is bolted to the base plate. It is fixed by

As shown in FIG. 16, in the movable bearing 40 as well, the pair of movement direction restricting jigs 45 for fixing the upper shoe 41 and the lower shoe 42 are arranged in the direction perpendicular to the bridge axis on the upper surface of the pier 20, which is the lower structure. Has been done. When the horizontal force P at the time of an earthquake acts on the movable bearing 40, it acts as a shearing force on the second knock-off bolt 60 extending in the vertical direction.

Further, due to vertical earthquake motions and flexural vibrations associated therewith, and also due to the overturning moment at the top end of the pier 20 due to the center of gravity becoming an eccentric portion such as a curved girder, the lifting force at the movable bearing 40 is also increased. Can act. In the movable bearing 40 shown in the figure, the left and right ends of the upper shoe 41 and the lower shoe 42 are respectively clamped by a pair of movement direction restricting jigs 45 having a U-shaped cross section. It is possible to suppress the risk of the upper shoe 41 dropping from the lower shoe 42 against the upward lift force that may act due to these various factors.

As shown in FIG. 17, when a horizontal force less than the horizontal force P3 at the time of a level 3 large earthquake acts, the second knock-off bolt 60 does not break, and the pair of movement direction restricting jigs 45 and the lower shoe 42. The fixed state of is maintained. Therefore, at all times or during a level 1 earthquake or a level 2 earthquake, only the relative movement of the upper shoe 41 with respect to the lower shoe 42 in the bridge axis direction is allowed, and the movable bearing 40 is maintained. Further, relative to expansion and contraction in the bridge axis direction due to temperature change of the upper structure 10 including the main girder 11, relative movement of the upper shoe 41 with respect to the lower shoe 42 in the bridge axis direction is allowed, and the movable bearing 40 The function of is maintained.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18, when a horizontal force of a magnitude equal to or greater than the horizontal force P3 during a level 3 earthquake is applied, the second knock-off bolt 60 breaks and the pair of movement direction restricting jigs 45 move upward. By being completely disengaged from 41 and the lower shoe 42, movement of the upper shoe 41 with respect to the lower shoe 42 in a free direction can be permitted. As a result, due to the seismic isolation effect, the horizontal force due to the level 3 earthquake is suppressed from acting on the upper structure 10 via the movable bearing 40, and the horizontal force on the upper structure 10 via the fixed bearing 30 described above. The lower structure 20 is damaged by the shearing force resulting from the vibration of the upper structure 10 when the horizontal force due to the level 3 earthquake acts on the upper structure 10 in combination with the suppression of the action of Can be effectively suppressed.

It should be noted that other embodiments in which other constituent elements are combined with the above-described configurations and the like may be combined, and the present invention is not limited to the configurations shown here. This point can be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and can be appropriately determined according to the application form.
