Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the seismic performance and flexure-shear behavior of square reinforced concrete bridge piers with solid and hollow cross section. Test specimens were nonseismically designed with the aspect ratio 4.5 Two reinforced concrete columns were tested under constant axial load while subjected to lateral load reversals with increasing drift levels. Longitudinal steel ratio was 2.217 percent. The transverse reinforcement ratio As/($s{\cdot}h$), corresponding to 58 percent of the minimum lateral reinforcement required by Korean Bridge Design Specifications for seismic detailing, which represent existing columns not designed by the current seismic design specifications or designed by limited ductility concept. This study are to provide quantitative reference data for the limited ductility design concept and tendency for performance or damage assessment based on the performance levels such as cracking, yielding, collapse, etc. Failure behavior, ultimate displacement/drift ratio, displacement ductility, response modification factor, equivalent viscous damping ratio, residual deformation, effective stiffness, plastic hinge length, strain of reinforcements and nonlinear analysis are investigated and discussed in this paper.
본 연구에서는 비내진 교각의 내진성능과 휨-전단 거동을 파악하고자 형상비 4.5인 정사각형의 중실 및 중공단면 철근콘크리트 교각실험체를 제작하여 일정한 축력하에서 변위비 등급을 증가시켜 가면서 횡하중을 가력하는 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 철근콘크리트 교각의 한정연성 내진설계를 위한 실험적 기초자료의 제공과 함께 성능단계별 교각성능 및 손상평가를 위한 정량적 수치와 경향을 제공하기 위한 것이며, 파괴거동, 극한변위, 극한드리프트비율, 변위연성도, 응답수정계수, 등가점성감쇠비, 잔류변형지수, 유효강성, 철근 변형률 등의 주요 내진성능 인자들에 대한 분석결과와 비선형 해석 결과를 나타내었다.
