In this paper, a restoring force model, composed of a trilinear skeleton curve and hysteretic rules, is proposed based on nine pseudostatic tests of the energy-dissipation joint under horizontal low cyclic loading. The critical points of the simplified skeleton curve are obtained via theoretical derivation and FE simulation. The hysteretic rules for the joints are simplified as a concave hexagon, where the parameters of the critical points are optimized by the genetic algorithm (GA). Using the established trilinear skeleton curve, three different working stages, i.e., elastic, hardening, and softening, were divided by the critical points and the moment stiffness of three stages can be calculated. The proposed hysteretic rules of each stage can reveal and explain the “pinching” in the cyclic loading, which make it easier to understand the mechanism of the energy-dissipation joint. The comparison between the restoring force model and the tests shows that the simplified skeleton curves, the established hysteretic rules, and the ductility and the damping ratio are consistent with the experimental results. Finally, the effectiveness of the established restoring force model is verified.

Restoring Force Model

In order to study the restoring force characteristics of corroded steel frame beams in an acidic atmosphere, based on different corrosion damage degrees, tests on the material properties of 48 steel samples and six steel frame beam specimens with a scale ratio of 1/2 under low cyclic repeated loading were conducted. According to the test results, the relationship between the weight loss rate and the mechanical properties of corrosion damage steel was obtained by numerical regression analysis, and the hysteresis curves and skeleton curves of the corroded steel frame beams were also obtained. The simplified trilinear skeleton curve model of the corroded steel frame beams and the expression of the corresponding feature points were determined by analyzing the failure process. The strength and stiffness degradation rule of the steel frame beam was analyzed furtherly. The hysteresis rule was established by introducing the cyclic degradation index which considers the effect of different corrosion degrees, and finally the restoring force model based on the corroded steel frame beams in an acidic atmospheric environment was established. Comparison with the test results show that the skeleton curve and the restoring force model established in this paper can accurately describe the seismic performance of corrosion damaged steel frame beams and can provide a basis for the seismic calculation analysis of corroded steel structures in an acidic atmosphere.

Restoring Force Model

A numerical simulation of the hysteresis performance of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame columns was conducted. Moreover, the results obtained were compared with experimental data. On this basis, a degenerated three-linearity (D-TRI) restoring force model was established which could reflect the hysteresis performance of corroded RC frame columns through theoretical analysis and data fitting. Results indicated that the hysteretic bearing capacity of frame columns decreased significantly due to corrosion of the rebar. In view of the characteristics of the hysteresis curve, the plumpness of the hysteresis loop for frame columns decreased and shrinkage increased with increasing rebar corrosion. All these illustrated that the seismic energy dissipation performance of frame columns reduced but their brittleness increased. As for the features of the skeleton curve, the trends for corroded and noncorroded members were basically consistent and roughly corresponded to the features of a trilinear equivalent model. Thereby, the existing Clough hysteresis rule can be used to establish the restoring force model applicable to corroded RC frame columns based on that of the noncorroded RC members. The calculated skeleton curve and hysteresis curve of corroded RC frame columns using the D-TRI model are closer to the experimental results.

Salt Fog

The study aims to research the influence of salt fog corrosion cycles on seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frame beam-column joints in coastal atmosphere. Based on low cyclic loading tests of six RC frame beam-column joint specimens, this study analyses the failure patterns, hysteresis loops, load carrying capacity, displacement, backbone curves, and energy dissipation capacity of corrosion-damaged RC frame beam-column joints. The effect of salt fog corrosion cycles and axial compression ratios are tested repeatedly. The results show that with the same level of axial compression of the frame joint specimens, as the increase of salt fog cycles, the strength, ductility, energy dissipation, bearing capacity, and deformation capacity of joints degenerated to different degrees． When the corrosion level is the same, the stiffness degradation appeared to be more apparent as the increase of axial compression ratio. Then, the behavior degeneration rule of the RC frame beam-column joints is analyzed and formed according to the results of the test; the degeneration restoring force models of corroded RC frame beam-column joints is formed and verified based on Clough’s three-line degenerate restoring force model and the introduction to cyclic degeneration index. The results show that the restoring force model can better describe the hysteresis characteristics of the beam-column joints of corroded RC frames. The research is a theoretical reference for the seismic analysis of the RC frame structure affected by coastal atmospheric environment.

Bracing System

The pre-pressed spring self-centering energy dissipation (PS-SCED) brace that combines the friction energy dissipation mechanism with a self-centering member comprising combination disc springs is developed and experimentally studied. The configuration of the proposed bracing system is presented and a Bouc–Wen model-based restoring force model is proposed to predict its hysteretic behavior. Two large scale PS-SCED braces with different length and different types of disc springs are designed, fabricated, and tested under low cyclic reversed loadings, and results demonstrate that the PS-SCED brace exhibits stable and repeatable self-centering hysteretic responses with effective energy dissipation capacity. The ductility of the proposed bracing system can be enhanced by employing the disc springs with bearing surface, and increasing the length of the tube members or segments of the disc springs. The symmetry of the bearing force in tension and in compression meets the design requirement for bracing elements. And the proposed restoring force model can accurately portray the hysteretic behavior of the PS-SCED bracing system.

The Mathematical Model

This paper presents an effective method of parameter ascertainment for the skeleton curve of corroded compression-bending members to establish its restoring force model. An assumption which considers the skeleton curve of damaged and undamaged members has similar shape is introduced into the fitting process of parameters. Meanwhile, two-dimensional plane section assumption is used to simplify the mathematical model and reduce the computational cost. Several sets of experimental data were compared with the prediction by the method developed in this paper, for its verification. The case studies show that the experimental trends can be captured very well.

Restoring Force Model

The hysteresis behavior of a cast-in-situ recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) frame was analyzed based on shaking table tests on a one-fourth scaled model of a two-bay, two-span and 6-storey RAC frame. Then feature points and the stiffness degradation were defined and the deteriorating four-line-typed restoring force model was put forward. In the hysteresis model, the monotonic behavior is described by a four-line-typed skeleton curve which accounts for concrete cracking, yielding of reinforcing bars, maximum and ultimate point of the RAC frame model. The hysteresis behavior is described through a number of rules for unloading and reloading. Therefore, the restoring force model proposed in this study can capture the hysteresis response of the frame under seismic actions. Moreover, the displacement ductility of the RAC frame structure is evaluated based on the proposed restoring force model. It can be concluded from this investigation that the RAC frame structure with proper design and construction has favorable load-carrying capacity, deformation capacity, energy dissipation ability and seismic performance, and can be applied and popularized in the area with the requirement of aseismic fortification intensity.

Characteristic Points

Steel high performance concrete (SHPC) structural wall was a combination of steel and high performance concrete. They can give full play to the advantages of steel and high performance concrete and have better dynamic behavior. Several specimens of SHPC structural walls with different parameters were tested under constant axial loading and horizontal cyclic loading. The testing phenomena and failure mechanics of those walls were compared and analyzed. On the basis of theoretic formulas and testing data, the main characteristic points and the law of stiffness degradation were presented, then, the tri-linear and four linear restoring models were built and provided. At last, the calculation formulas of stiffness parameter in restoring force model at different stages of deformation were presented. The results show that the declined strength stage of skeleton curve of specimens is related to the yielding strain of boundary steel, axial load ratio and stirrup content. The restoring force model of SHPC structural wall is thus formed for the application of nonlinear dynamics analysis as well as static structural calculations.
