Arrangement Principle of Hoop-Layers of Imitating Bamboo Drum Type Tridimensional Parking Structure

Abstract:

Considering the structure type and load feature of vertical lifting tridimensional parking structures are similar to those of bamboo, a new structure arrangement style of tridimensional parking structure is presented, that is to set hoop-layers like bamboo knots at its proper height, according to the imitating bamboo principle that any two adjacent hoop-layers have equal stability and lateral displacement. The static and stability property of imitating bamboo structure and non-imitating bamboo structures is studied. It is shown that the lateral displacement of imitating bamboo structure is constrained effectively and the storey relative lateral displacement becomes smaller and more uniformly distributed; additionally, the internal force mutation of columns is relatively moderate and resisting overturning ability of structures is enhanced; moreover, the overall stability of structures controlled by equivalent short columns results in the great improvement of stability bearing capacity. All above verifies the rationality of the imitating bamboo principle.
