What is the lower tie rod bracket
The lower tie rod support is a supporting structure used for the lower bearing type concrete-filled steel tube tie rod arch bridge, mainly composed of pier groups, main longitudinal beams and distribution crossbeams. The pier assembly consists of a front-end pier, a rear-end pier and multiple intermediate piers. The main longitudinal beams connect the pier assembly with the distribution beams, forming a stable load-bearing structure.
Core function
This support has good load-bearing capacity, rigidity and stability. It can not only meet the flood discharge requirements of rivers, but also ensure the safety during the bridge construction process. Its structural design takes into account both mechanical performance and construction convenience, and is suitable for large-span Bridges or complex terrain conditions.
Structural features
Youdaoplaceholder0 abutment group : By combining the front-end abutment, rear-end abutment and middle abutment, a multi-point support system is formed to disperse the load pressure.
Youdaoplaceholder0 main longitudinal beam : As the main load-bearing structure, it connects the abutment group and the distribution crossbeam, and transfers the load to the piers.
Youdaoplaceholder0 Distribution crossbeam : Fix the tie rods to distribute the load of the main longitudinal beam to each pier, enhancing the overall stability.
The lower tie rod bracket of a car (usually referring to the lower arm bracket) is a key component of the suspension system and mainly undertakes the following core functions:
Support the vehicle body and distribute the weight
Distribute the weight of the vehicle body reasonably to the wheels to reduce the pressure on the frame and ensure smooth driving of the vehicle.
Shock absorption and vibration buffering
Working in coordination with shock absorbers, it reduces the impact force transmitted to the vehicle body when the road surface is uneven or bumpy, enhancing driving and riding comfort.
Transmit torque and guidance
It is responsible for transmitting the force on the wheels to the frame and supporting the steering operation of the steering knuckle arm, ensuring steering accuracy and handling stability.
Moderate longitudinal load
Under conditions such as vehicle acceleration and deceleration, longitudinal forces are absorbed through elastic elements (such as helical springs) to alleviate the impact on the vehicle body.
If the lower tie rod bracket ages (such as the rubber sleeve cracking or the ball joint gap being too large), it may cause inaccurate wheel alignment, abnormal noise or a decline in handling performance. Timely inspection and replacement are required.
Damage to the lower tie rod bracket of a car (usually referring to the lower support arm bracket) can lead to the following problems:
Decline in handling performance
The lower arm is a key component of the suspension system. Its damage will affect the vehicle's support and shock absorption functions, leading to a decrease in steering accuracy, a heavier steering wheel, and an impact on driving handling.
Abnormal driving
Problems such as vehicle deviation, jolting and abnormal noises may occur. In severe cases, safety hazards may be caused by uneven tire wear or inaccurate four-wheel alignment.
Safety risk
Damaged brackets may affect braking performance and vehicle stability, increasing the risk of traffic accidents.
It is recommended that professional maintenance be carried out promptly upon discovering damage to the lower boom bracket, including replacing the damaged parts and adjusting the four-wheel alignment, to ensure driving safety.
The tie rods themselves cannot directly serve as out-of-plane supports . Their main function is to connect components and transfer loads, rather than to provide out-of-plane constraints.
The functions and limitations of tie rods
Tie rods are mainly used to connect structural components, transfer horizontal loads, and reduce the out-of-plane calculated length of steel columns. However, merely by connecting with the web of the steel column, the out-of-plane deformation of the flange plate cannot be effectively restrained, and thus the out-of-plane calculated length of the steel column cannot be reduced.
The correct application method of out-of-plane supports
Youdaoplaceholder0 corner bracing : By forming a triangular support structure with purlins and steel column flanges, it can effectively restrain out-of-plane deformation and significantly reduce the out-of-plane calculated length of steel columns.
Youdaoplaceholder0 rigid tie rods : Although they can transfer loads, they need to work in conjunction with corner braces or other support forms to achieve out-of-plane stability.
Youdaoplaceholder0 full-length rigid tie rods : Set at the same height as the roof beam, they can reduce the risk of torsional and bending instability.
In conclusion, tie rods can only assist in some functions of the support system. They need to be combined with other support measures (such as corner braces) to effectively ensure out-of-plane stability
