Hysteretic model of reinforced concrete bridge piers based on earthquake damage and corrosion from saline soil
Abstract A hysteretic model of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers in saline soil environment, incorporating corrosion-induced overall structural degradation, is obtained based on earthquake damage by applying damage parameter. A damage analysis of the observed 13 RC bridge piers tested under cyclic loading including cracks evolution, residual deformation, relative unloading degradation, cyclic unloading stiffness degradation and strength deterioration is presented. A quantification approach for seismic damage considers the sources of deterioration: i.e., number of loading cycles and controlled displacements and incorporates a deterioration parameter aiming to control the deterioration modes. The skeleton model consists of three segments and is determined by simplifying the experimental skeleton curve. Yield strength reduction and sectional loss of reinforcement are computed to characterize the corrosion-induced degradation. It is determined that the equivalent skeleton model could match the experimental results. The applicability as well as accuracy of proposed model in simulating the hysteretic behaviours are calibrated by comparing the model with the experimental curves. The model is capable to approximate the complete hysteretic response.
Highlights Damage-based hysteretic model of reinforced concrete bridge piers in saline soil environment has presented. The model is a function of damage source consisted of number of loading cycles and controlled displacement. It was expected in quantitative seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete structure built in western China where widely covered by saline soil (roughly located between 35° and 42° north latitude). The corrosivity of saline soil to reinforced concrete structure is significantly higher compared to commonly mentioned corrosive environment such as marine environment and coastal environment.
