Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a sliding pendulum seismic isolator and particularly to a sliding pendulum seismic isolator of the bi-directional type.
- There is known the seismic isolation technique using sliding pendulum seismic isolators essentially comprising convex supports coupled with concave cylindrical sliding surfaces. Such isolators are usually arranged between a superstructure such as, for example, a bridge or a building, and its foundations. In case of earthquakes, the isolators allow a movement and/or a rotation of the superstructure relative to the foundations, thus protecting its integrity.
- As an effect of the sliding movement of the convex supports on the cylindrical surfaces, the superstructure oscillates increasing and decreasing its potential energy according to the law of motion of a pendulum, whose natural period is defined by the radius of the cylindrical surface. The radius of the cylindrical surfaces is designed in order to optimize the natural period of the pendulum for the reduction of the seismic response of the superstructure. Moreover, a certain amount of energy is dissipated through the friction between the contact material and the cylindrical surface, thus reducing more the seismic response of the superstructure.
- In order to isolate a superstructure sets of seismic isolators are generally used, comprising different types of isolator, such as, for example, multi-directional isolators and mono- and bi-directional isolators, which define a pattern of constraints between the structure and its foundations such to generate a series of programmed movements and/or rotations during an earthquake.
- Patent application
US 2006/0174555 in the name of Earthquake Protection Systems Inc. discloses a sliding pendulum seismic isolator provided with a lower sliding element and an upper sliding element between which two or three intermediate elements are arranged, provided with spherical surfaces defining a spherical joint. During an earthquake, the spherical joint allows the relative rotation and the movement of the lower part with respect to the upper part. The spherical joint also allows to transfer the vertical compression loads and transverse loads occurring during a seismic event from the supported structure to the foundations. The spherical joint of the seismic isolator described in the above-mentioned patent application may be applied to multi-directional supports as well as to mono- and bi-directional supports. Concerning bi-directional supports in particular, the above-mentioned patent application describes a very simple and inexpensive solution, wherein the lower sliding element and the upper one are designed as rails arranged along two directions of movement substantially perpendicular to each other. - A problem of seismic isolators based on spherical joints, and particularly of those of the bi-directional type, is that such spherical joints must necessarily be dimensioned on the basis of the loading conditions of the most stressed direction and therefore they are unnecessarily oversized with respect to the less stressed direction, resulting in a consequent increase in the manufacturing costs.
- Moreover, the manufacturing of spherical surfaces is rather complex and expensive both due to the geometry and to the hardness of the materials employed such as, for instance, stainless steel. In case the sliding surfaces of the spherical joints are manufactured by superimposing thin stainless steel plates to a base structure, it is very difficult to obtain spherical caps of good quality.

Said object is achieved with a bi-directional sliding pendulum seismic isolator, whose main features are disclosed in
claim 1, while other features are disclosed in the subsequent claims. - The bi-directional sliding pendulum seismic isolator according to the present invention includes a rail-shaped lower sliding element and a rail-shaped upper sliding element that are substantially perpendicular to each other and have cylindrical concave surfaces opposite to each other. Between the lower and upper sliding elements a first and a second intermediate element are arranged, which slide along said cylindrical concave surfaces of the sliding elements by means of corresponding cylindrical convex surfaces.
- The first intermediate element is provided with a cylindrical concave surface opposite to its cylindrical convex sliding surface and having the axis perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical concave surface of the lower sliding element. Similarly, the second intermediate element is provided with a concave surface opposite to its cylindrical convex sliding surface and having the axis perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical concave surface of the upper sliding element. Between the first and the second intermediate element a third intermediate element is arranged, having a lower surface and an upper surface that are both cylindrical convex surfaces and have their axes perpendicular to each other. The three intermediate elements constitute a joint having the shape of a cylindrical double saddle that allows the movement and the relative rotation between the rail-shaped sliding elements.
- The main advantage of the isolator according to the present invention is that, thanks to the particular cylindrical double-saddle design, it is possible to dimension the joint arranged between the rail-shaped sliding elements in function of the actual load conditions as well as the movements and the rotations foreseen in the two sliding directions, thus avoiding a useless oversizing and above all optimizing the design solutions.
- Saving material allows to manufacture a cheaper joint with respect to known spherical joints, resulting in a notable reduction of the manufacturing costs of the isolator.
- Another advantage of the isolator according to the present invention is that the manufacturing of the joint with cylindrical sliding surfaces is remarkably easier and cheaper than the manufacturing of spherical surfaces, thus being able to achieve sliding surfaces of optimum quality in a relatively easy way, both directly working metal surfaces of hard materials such as stainless steel and in the case of coverings with thin plates, which further contributes to the optimization of the isolator costs.

intermediate element 3 is provided with a cylindricalconcave surface 3b opposite to its cylindricalconvex sliding surface 3a and having the axis perpendicular to the axis of the cylindricalconcave surface 1a of the lowersliding element 1. Similarly, the secondintermediate element 4 is provided with a cylindricalconcave surface 4b opposite to its cylindricalconvex sliding surface 4a and having the axis perpendicular to the axis of the cylindricalconcave surface 2a of the uppersliding element 2. The thirdintermediate element 5 has alower surface 5a and anupper surface 5b that are both cylindrical convex surfaces and have their axes substantially perpendicular to each other. - When the isolator is assembled, the
lower surface 5a and theupper surface 5b of the thirdintermediate element 5 are in contact withsurfaces intermediate element intermediate elements - Thus,

In particular, it is possible to use other controlled friction materials well known to those skilled in the art for covering the sliding surfaces. Moreover, as far as the sliding surfaces made of metal materials are concerned it is possible to use special materials such as chrome-nickel steel in order to provide high characteristics of hardness and to minimize wear.
