Construction of seismic isolation on building project

(4)Construction of seismic isolation LRB upper support pier

During the binding process of the upper pier reinforcement cage, on-site positioning plates can be used to reserve the position of the upper pier anchor bars in advance. Then, the upper pier reinforcement cage can be placed on the top surface of the support, and the upper embedded parts can be connected to the seismic isolation bearing with bolts.

Install the bottom form work of the upper pier in sequence, and the surface of the bottom forrm work should be level with or slightly higher than the top surface of the support. After the concrete pouring and demolding of the upper pier, the upper flange plate should be exposed. Pay attention to the reinforcement of the upper column, and direct anchoring can be used when the anchoring length is met.

 

Installation of upper pier reinforcement cage and formwork

Due to the inevitable damage and contamination of the paint on the flange plate of the isolation bearing during the installation process, template support, and removal process. After the construction of the isolation layer is completed and the formwork is removed, the paint on the flange plate of the isolation support is repaired and cleaned. The surface of the bolts is coated with butter to form a protective film and reduce later bolt corrosion.

Building seismic isolation Construction issues and handling suggestions

1) The distance between the positioning plate and the top surface of the main reinforcement of the lower pier is too large: (Generally, it is required not to exceed 50mm.)

Suggestion for handling: Place two layers of mesh reinforcement between 50mm and 100mm on the top surface of the main reinforcement, with a spacing of 50mm. exceed At 100mm, the main reinforcement of the lower pier needs to be extended.

 

2) The installation of the positioning plate is offset and not located in the center of the lower pier:

Suggestion for handling: Remove the positioning plate and sleeve anchor bar components and reinstall them.

 

3) The sleeve anchor bar of LRB seismic isolation component is tilted:

Suggestion for handling: Before fixing the anchor bars, check all of them one by one, align the top surface of the sleeve with the positioning plate, and ensure that the anchor bars are vertical. After reinforcement, it needs to be removed and re calibrated vertically before welding and fixing.

 

4) The plane deviation of the steel bars on the lower pier is significant, and the anchor bars are inserted on the outer side of the lower pier steel cage:

Suggestion for handling: Use planting tendons. Add hoop reinforcement to ensure that the anchor bars are inside the lower pier reinforcement cage.

 

5) The top surface of the sleeve of LRB is higher than the top surface of the lower support pier, and the concrete pouring of the lower support pier is not dense:

Suggestion for handling: roughen the surface of the lower pier and use epoxy resin or high-strength grouting material for secondary leveling.

 

6) The gap between the flange plate of the LRB seismic isolation and the surface of the lower pier is relatively large:

Suggestion for handling: Lift the support, re polish the lower support pier, and check the flatness of the lower support pier with a level until it is qualified.


7) The upper flange plate is not exposed, and the grounding wire is left improperly:

Suggestion for handling: During the installation of the formwork at the bottom of the upper pier, attention should be paid to controlling the elevation and position; The grounding wire should be reserved with a dedicated grounding wire and sufficient deformation should be reserved.


8) The LRB isolation joint is filled with hard materials:

Suggestion for handling: Remove the hard material and use flexible material filling or hollow outer board sealing.


9) The isolation layer is damp, with accumulated water and construction waste:

Suggestion for handling: Drain the accumulated water and clean up the garbage. Ensure that the isolation layer is dry and clean.

 

Quality acceptance of building isolation engineering

1. Product inspection and acceptance

LRB Isolation bearings should provide inspection data such as raw material qualification certificates, factory qualification certificates, type inspection reports, factory inspection reports, and third-party inspection reports when leaving the factory. Quality certification documents should be provided for embedded parts.

According to the sampling requirements of EN15129, for general buildings, the sampling quantity is not less than 20% of the total number. The inspection quantity of the building isolation rubber bearings provided by our factory is 100% to ensure that each isolation bearing passes the inspection before it can be used in the project.

(3) maintain

Maintenance unit: isolation building user unit, property management unit, construction unit, etc.


(4) Maintenance time

The maintenance phase begins from the date when the seismic isolation building passes the completion acceptance inspection.

Frequent inspection: During daily use, isolation products should be inspected frequently to detect problems in time and deal with them promptly.

Periodic inspections: 1, 3, 5, 10 years after completion, and every 10 years thereafter.

Inspection: arranged by the product manufacturer.

Emergency inspection: Inspection should be carried out immediately when encountering natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, mudslides, fires, etc.
