Equivalent Viscous Damping Model for Short-Period Reinforced Concrete Bridges
This paper investigates the effect of spectral shape (intensity and width of the constant acceleration region) and postyield stiffness ratio on equivalent viscous damping for short-period RC bridge columns (). The modified Takeda degrading stiffness hysteretic model, with parameters appropriate to bridge columns (often termed thin Takeda in the literature), is used for analysis. Insight regarding the importance of these parameters is provided, and a new equivalent viscous damping model is proposed that includes the effect of spectral shape and postyield stiffness ratio, as well as effective period and ductility. The proposed damping model is compared with two existing models. The results indicate that significant improvement is achieved in predicting the peak displacement using the proposed damping model when compared with existing models.
