Abstract
A self-centering prestressed beam-column connection (SCPBCC) with weakened flange cover plate (FCP) is proposed to achieve self-centering features and post-earthquake recoverability at reasonable cost. The self-centering and energy dissipation capacity of SCPBCC are controlled respectively by the prestressed cable and FCP, and the bearing capacity of SCPBCC is controlled by adjusting the bearing ratio of the cable and FCP. Five SCPBCC specimens were subjected to large and small-amplitude, cyclic-loading tests. The test results demonstrated that the new SCPBCC can meet requirements of stiffness and strength, achieve excellent self-centering features, survive multiple aftershocks and allows for replacement. The connection can supply ample energy dissipation through cyclic yielding of the FCPs. Reasonable variable section and limited prestress can protect beams and the column from plastic deformation. The proposed design methodology ensures good bearing and self-resetting capacity for SCPBCCs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Constructional Steel Research provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in structural steel research and their applications. It is aimed not only at researchers but also at those likely to be most affected by research results, i.e. designers and fabricators. Original papers of a high standard dealing with all aspects of steel research including theoretical and experimental research on elements, assemblages, connection and material properties are considered for publication.
