Experimental-analytical investigation of accelerated bridge construction concrete columns with self-centering Fe-SMA bars subjected to near-fault ground motions

Highlights Unbonded Fe-SMA bars are used as self-centering elements in ABC column. Shake table tests are performed on 1/3-scale specimen with near-fault motions. Observed residual drifts were smaller than a similar conventional column. Pre-test finite model predictions are compared with the experimental measurements.
Abstract Excessive seismic damage and residual deformation in bridge piers can result in time-consuming post-earthquake repair and replacement, which will adversely affect the recovery and seismic resilience of the transportation infrastructure. Seismic damage or permanent deformation in bridges can be minimized using advanced materials and novel technologies, of which shape memory alloy (SMA) has gained substantial momentum. The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using unbonded iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) bars as self-centering elements in accelerated bridge construction (ABC) piers to reduce residual seismic deformation. Shake table testing is performed on a one-third-scale bridge column specimen subjected to near-fault ground motions. A numerical model of the test specimen is developed in OpenSees, and the “pre-test” analysis results are compared with the experimental measurements. Acceptable correlations are observed between the simulated and measured residual drifts, accelerations, forces, and hysteretic responses. Furthermore, the test results are compared to that of a similar conventional cast-in-place RC column without self-centering elements. The maximum residual drift ratio in the tested Fe-SMA column specimen is found to be much smaller than the conventional column specimen highlighting the potential benefits of the proposed design.
