Experimental study on seismic behavior of new square concrete-filled steel tube prefabricated column connected by corrugated pipe
In order to study the seismic performance of new square concrete-filled steel tube prefabricated column connected by corrugated pipe,a low-cyclic reversed loading test was carried on one cast-in-place column and four prefabricated columns with different joint reinforcement ratios,different joint anchorage lengths and axial compression ratios as the main research variables.The differences in seismic performance between cast-in-place columns and prefabricated columns in terms of failure mode,hysteretic performance,and displacement ductility was studied and analyzed.The results show that the failure mode of the prefabricated column is similar to that of the cast-in-place column.The fabricated columns with different joint structures are similar to the cast-in-place column in terms of hysteresis curves,skeleton characteristics and stiffness degradation.The energy dissipation performance of the prefabricated column is better than the cast-in-place column.The limit displacement angle of the fabricated column is 1/16.7~1/25,which meets the design requirements of the code.Under the larger axial compression ratio,the bearing capacity of the prefabricated column increases and the ductility decreases.Under the larger displacement angles,the seismic performance of prefabricated column joints is greatly affected by the quality of the welds.In actual engineering,the welding quality management should be strengthened to ensure that the components have sufficient deformation capacity.
