Experimental study on seismic ductility performance of corrugated web PEC beam
Traditional partially encased composite(PEC) beams usually adopt straight web plates,however,such web plates exhibit lower shear carrying capacity and lack mechanical interlock with concrete,which hinders their collaborative performance.To address the adverse effects of straight web plates,this study proposes the utilization of corrugated web plates as a cross-sectional replacement,leading to a novel corrugated web PEC beam.Through low-cycle repeated loading tests,the seismic ductility performance of the corrugated web plate PEC beam under earthquake loads was analyzed.The influence of flange thickness and shear-span ratio on the load-bearing capacity,failure mode,deformation capacity,hysteresis energy dissipation capacity,and stiffness degradation of the sinusoidal corrugated web PEC beam were investigated.The research demonstrated that a properly designed corrugated web plate PEC beam exhibited favorable load-bearing capacity and seismic ductility performance.The shear-span ratio significantly affects the failure mode and ductility of the beam,while increase the flange thickness effectively and enhances the load-bearing capacity of section.However,excessively thick flanges can impact the collaborative performance between the steel section and concrete.In this experiment,specimens with smaller flange thickness and larger shear-span ratios demonstrated high compatibility between the steel section and concrete,resulting in full utilization of their ductility and energy dissipation capacity.
