Seismic Response of a Damage-Resistant Recentering Posttensioned-HYFRC Bridge Column
AbstractThis paper presents the shake-table tests of a damage-resistant posttensioned bridge column designed to rock at the interface with its foundation. It compares the response to that of a conventional bridge column detailed to conform with current California seismic design criteria. The lower portion of the rocking column was built using hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HYFRC) and was armored with headed rebars; these features enhanced the compression damage resistance at the column base. Unbonded rebars that crossed the rocking plane provided hysteretic energy dissipation. Both columns were subjected to a sequence of scaled historical triaxial earthquake ground motions including near-fault pulse-like motions. The conventional column formed a flexural plastic hinge with extensive spalling. It accumulated a 6.8% residual drift ratio after a sequence of seven ground motions, which caused a peak drift ratio of 10.8%. The posttensioned-HYFRC column sustained only light damage and accumulated only a 0.4% residual drift ratio after the same seven ground motions, which caused a peak drift ratio of 8.0%.
