Combination of mechanical and informational modeling to predict hysteresis behavior of I beam‐to‐CFT column connection

The behavior of beam‐to‐column connections is significantly complicated because it depends on the material, nonlinear relationship between different members, and contact of connecting elements. Their hysteretic response exhibits highly inelastic characteristics and continuous variation in stiffness, strength, and ductility. Therefore, accurate hysteretic models of bolted connections are essential to accurate seismic assessment and design. Composed (Hybrid) modeling approach is presented to represent the complex hysteretic behavior of I beam‐to‐concrete‐filled‐tube (CFT) column bolted connection. For the purpose in this study, experimental evaluation of I beam‐to‐CFT column connection with bolted end‐plate under cyclic loading is done. It must be mentioned to make the connection easily applicable practically and also prepare the column flanges continuity, a connection with the bolts penetrated into the CFT column are used since using the stiffeners in hollow sections is not easily applicable. In the composed mechanical–informational modeling framework, the conventional mechanical model is complemented by information‐based model components. Finally, moment–rotation curves of composed model have been compared with experimental results. Comparison showed that the composed model has a good agreement with experimental results. A newly designed specimen for validation purpose of the composed modeling was made and experimented. Composed model was well applied to predict the behavior of new connections. The presented results show that the composed model has a good ability to predict of hysteretic behavior.

Design and behavior of recentering beam-to-CFT column connections with super-elastic shape memory alloy fasteners

This study investigates the performance of new composite (steel-concrete) moment connections through numerical simulations. The innovative aspects of this research lay in the use of end-plate connections between steel beams and concrete-filled tube (CFT) columns that utilize a combination of low-carbon steel and shape memory alloy (SMA) components. In these new connections, the intent is to use the recentering effect provided by super-elastic SMA tension bars to reduce the level of building damage and residual drift after a major earthquake. The low-carbon steel components provide excellent energy dissipation. The analysis and design of these structures is complicated because the connections cannot be modeled as being simply pins or full fixity ones; they are partial restraint (PR). A refined finite element (FE) model with sophisticated three dimensional (3D) solid elements was developed to perform numerical experiments on the PR-CFT joints with a view to obtaining the global behavior of the connection. Based on the behavioral information obtained from these FE tests, simplified connection models were formulated using 2D joint elements with nonlinear spring components. The behavior of entire connections under cyclic loads was examined. The results were compared with the connection behavior obtained from the 3D FE simulations and corresponding connection tests. Good agreement was found between the simple and sophisticated models, confirming the robustness of the approach.     

混凝土十字形中柱的板柱连接抗震性能试验研究

通过两个大比例十字形中柱的板柱连接试件(其中一个试件配置抗冲切锚栓),在竖向荷载和低周反复水平荷载作用下的试验,探讨了十字形中柱的板柱连接在模拟地震作用下的裂缝形态、破坏特征、混凝土以及钢筋的应变、滞回特性、位移延性等一系列受力特性。试验研究表明,十字形中柱的板柱连接与传统方形中柱的板柱连接受力性能类似,两个试件的极限侧移比都远超过了1.5%的侧移比限值要求,因此在板柱结构中引入十字形柱是可行的;配置抗冲切锚栓可以显著地提高板柱连接的承载能力和延性。此外,根据试验给出了十字形中柱的冲切临界面形式,并提出了其类似极惯性矩的计算公式,从而使十字形中柱的板柱连接可以应用现行规范的方法进行承载力分析计算,采用该方法的分析结果与试验结果符合较好。

Evaluation of multiple column curves using the experimental data-base approach

The paper describes an extensive survey of column tests and an evaluation of information on steel column strength. During the past twenty-five years numerous series of column tests have been conducted in European countries, North America and Japan. A total of 1665 individual test results which have been stored in an experimental data-base is retrieved and a statistical appraisal carried out to evaluate experimental column strength. Comparisons are made between the surveyed test data and the ECCS and SSRC multiple column curves. The authors also propose new multiple column formulae which explain more accurately the test data from a statistical viewpoint.     

Centrifuge modeling on the effect of mechanical connection on the dynamic performance of narrow geosynthetic reinforced soil wall

As people migrate to densely populated cities, the importance of establishing a new transportation infrastructure to meet their needs becomes increasingly critical. The limited space available for construction makes a narrow geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) wall a cost-effective alternative. Prior research has primarily examined the performance of narrow GRS walls under static loads, revealing that these structures are highly vulnerable to significant crest displacements. Consequently, multiple studies have recommended incorporating mechanical connections in the upper layer during the construction of narrow GRS walls. However, some places are more susceptible to earthquakes; hence, this research was conducted to investigate the dynamic response of narrow GRS walls and quantify the effect of mechanical connections on increasing the stability of narrow GRS walls. Two sets of narrow GRS wall models were constructed, with and without mechanical connections to a stable wall, and subjected to a similar series of earthquakes. The test results indicate that the mechanical connection can reduce the accumulated normalized horizontal displacement of narrow GRS walls by 30–80% after being subjected to the same dynamic input motion excitation.

Evaluation of modal incremental dynamic analysis,using input energy intensity and modified bilinear curve

In this paper, a technique for the study of nonlinear performance of structures in different levels of earthquakes is developed. In this method, the Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) curves are not achieved from nonlinear dynamic analysis of multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (MDF) structure. However, the procedure of constructing these curves is based on modelling of the entire structure with several single‐degrees‐of‐freedom (SDF) structures and evaluating them through the modal pushover analysis method. An innovative idea for approximating pushover curves that is based on error distribution is introduced in this investigation. Furthermore, the total input energy applied towards the SDF oscillator, which gets converted into MDF structure, is used as intensity measure to impose the different levels of scaled earthquakes. This technique possesses all the advantages of the IDA method in studying the performance of structures in different levels of earthquake. In addition, it benefits from easy usage, high solving speed and less computational CPU time and in attendance with the modified bilinear curves. In this paper, six earthquake records have been applied over four different 4, 8, 12 and 16‐storey structures. The structural responses derived by this method, in the format of multi‐modal incremental curves, containing maximum displacement, drift, hinge rotation and hysteretic energy at the end of the earthquake, have been compared with the IDA method. Comparison of the results is found to have acceptable precision and reveals good agreement between two methods. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Evaluation of the damping ratio of soils in a resonant column using different methods

This paper addresses the differences between two approaches of damping estimation in the resonant column testing: Steady-State Vibration (SSV) and Free Vibration Decay (FVD) method, at small (<0.005%) to medium (0.07%) strain range. The tests were conducted on “two types of reconstituted sands” and “two types of clayey soils” at different relative densities and confining pressures. The test results suggested to use the SSV method in small strain damping measurement and the FVD method (two or three successive cycles) in medium strain damping measurement. A systematic decrease in the damping with the increasing number of cycles was observed up to a certain strain level in the FVD method. Furthermore, the effects of relative density, confining pressures, soil types on the damping ratio derived from the two methods for the chosen soils were studied. The results showed that the damping ratio of clayey soils exhibits a little higher value than those of sandy soils.
