Study of the Seismic Performance of a Novel Cable‑damper Stopper Designed for Boiler Steel Structures Based on Shaking Table Tests
To address the limitations of existing stoppers designed for boiler-steel structures
this paper proposes a novel cable-damping stopper. This stopper features nonlinear stiffness and dissipates energy through a damper
thereby enhancing the seismic performance of the supporting structure. To investigate the effects of the damping coefficient and installation position of the stopper on the seismic response of the target structure
a scaled-down boiler steel structure model was designed and subjected to shaking table tests. The prototype model was based on a boiler-steel structure from a boiler plant
scaled dow
n to 1∶25
with necessary simplifications to facilitate the evaluation of the seismic effectiveness of the cable-damper stopper. To explore the influence of the damping coefficient and installation scheme on structural seismic performance
experiments were conducted using the Kobe wave with a peak ground acceleration of 1.0
g
on models equipped with stoppers of different parameters and at various positions. In contrast
for the scaled model without the stoppers
a peak ground acceleration of 0.2
g
was selected. A comparative study of structural dynamic characteristics and seismic responses revealed that: (1) the stopper significantly improved the seismic resistance of the scaled model. (2) The damping coefficient had a substantial impact on the seismic response
with an optimal damping coefficient that provided both effectiveness and economic efficiency. (3) Stoppers installed at lower levels demonstrated superior seismic resistance effects.
