Spring supports have multiple functions in construction and engineering. Firstly, the spring support transfers the load of the building to the foundation step by step through elastic deformation, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the building. This type of support has a wide range of applications in engineering fields such as high-rise buildings, bridges, subways, and rail transit
Secondly, spring supports have significant shock absorption effects and can significantly reduce the impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes on buildings. In addition, spring supports also have extraordinary load-bearing capacity, which can easily support large structures such as buildings and bridges. They are made of high-quality materials with excellent fatigue resistance, ensuring long-term performance without reduction
Specific application scenarios
Tall buildings and bridges: Spring bearings play a crucial supporting role in these structures, ensuring their stability and safety.
Subway and rail transit: In rail transit, spring supports can absorb and release energy, adapting to the effects of dynamic loads.
Steam and water pipelines and boiler equipment in thermal power plants: In these devices, spring supports and hangers are used to adjust thermal displacement and ensure the normal operation of the equipment
Installation and maintenance precautions
During installation, it is necessary to follow the requirements of the design drawings to ensure accurate positioning of the supports and avoid bias or excessive initial shear deformation
After installation, it is necessary to carefully check the various parameters of the support to ensure that it is in close contact with the upper and lower structures without any looseness
The design of piers and abutments should consider the maintenance and replacement needs of spring supports to ensure the long-term stability and safety of the structure
