Quasi-static experimental study on seismic performance of double-skinned composite tubular column with corrugated internal tube
To study the seismic performance of a double-skinned composite tubular column with corrugated internal tube(DSCTC),quasi-static tests were conducted on the specimens by taking the axial compression ratio,hollow ratio,slenderness ratio and section shape as the experimental parameters.The failure mode,bearing capacity,ductility and energy dissipation capacity,stiffness degradation and strength degradation of the specimens were analyzed.The results show that the DSCTC has a high lateral bearing capacity,a full hysteresis curve,no obvious pinch phenomenon,good ductility and energy dissipation capacity,and stable performance under the same level of cyclic loads.The failure mode of the specimens is ductile failure,which is manifested by bulging deformation of the steel tube at the bottom of the column,concrete crushing,and tearing of the tube wall at the local defects.The specimens with the smaller hollow ratio have higher bearing capacity and stronger energy dissipation capacity.When the slenderness ratio increases from 20 to 30,the displacement ductility coefficient of the specimens decreases by 47.49%,and the bearing capacity also decreases significantly.As the axial compression ratio increases,the energy dissipation performance of the specimens decreases.
