Numerical analysis on seismic behavior of beam-column joint with different cement-based materials

Numerical analysis on seismic behavior of beam-column joint with different cement-based materials Under cyclic loading conditions, the ductility of frame beam-column joints, which can be evaluated by the displacement ductility coefficient (μ), is strongly affected by the axial load ratio (n). Due to the high toughness of engineering cementitious composites (ECCs), the normal concrete can be replaced giving better joint ductility. However, the limit values of n for reinforced ECC (R-ECC) joints have not been clarified. Therefore, T- and cross-shaped reinforced concrete (RC) and R-ECC joint finite element models were established and analyzed under n values. The results indicated that the seismic performance of the joints, including μ, equivalent damping coefficient (ξeq), and secant stiffness (Ki) were strongly dependent on n. μ and ξeq became inversely proportional to n when n was over 0.5. The RC and R-ECC joint ductile failure could occur when n was in the range of 0.3–0.7 and 0.3–0.9, respectively. The joint brittle failure occurred in RC and R-ECC joints when n was over 0.7 and 0.9, separately. Under the same n and load history, the maximum value of μ of R-ECC joints increased by 33.7% and 27.9% for T- and cross-shaped joints separately compared to that of RC joints. It is suggested that the n values for RC and R-ECC joints should not exceed 0.7 and 0.9, respectively. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advances in Structural Engineering SAGE

Abstract

Under cyclic loading conditions, the ductility of frame beam-column joints, which can be evaluated by the displacement ductility coefficient (μ), is strongly affected by the axial load ratio (n). Due to the high toughness of engineering cementitious composites (ECCs), the normal concrete can be replaced giving better joint ductility. However, the limit values of n for reinforced ECC (R-ECC) joints have not been clarified. Therefore, T- and cross-shaped reinforced concrete (RC) and R-ECC joint finite element models were established and analyzed under n values. The results indicated that the seismic performance of the joints, including μ, equivalent damping coefficient (ξeq), and secant stiffness (Ki) were strongly dependent on n. μ and ξeq became inversely proportional to n when n was over 0.5. The RC and R-ECC joint ductile failure could occur when n was in the range of 0.3–0.7 and 0.3–0.9, respectively. The joint brittle failure occurred in RC and R-ECC joints when n was over 0.7 and 0.9, separately. Under the same n and load history, the maximum value of μ of R-ECC joints increased by 33.7% and 27.9% for T- and cross-shaped joints separately compared to that of RC joints. It is suggested that the n values for RC and R-ECC joints should not exceed 0.7 and 0.9, respectively.
