Experimental Evaluation of Effect Factors on Seismic Performance of Concrete Columns Reinforced with HTRB630 High-Strength Steel Bars

Abstract

Abstract HTRB630 steel bar is a new type of high-strength steel bars. To study the seismic performance and promote the application of concrete columns reinforced with HTRB630 high-strength steel bars, the pseudo-static test of 10 concrete columns reinforced with HTRB630 high-strength steel bars and 3 concrete columns reinforced with HRB400 was carried out. Test specimens were divided into five categories according to concrete grade, reinforcement strength, and degree of confinement. The effect of concrete strength (C45 and C60), axial load ratio (0.1 and 0.25), equal strength substitution of longitudinal reinforcements (HTRB630 and HRB400), equal strength and volume substitution of stirrups (HTRB630 and HRB400), equal strength substitution of confined reinforcements (HTRB630 and HRB400) on the seismic performance are analyzed and discussed from the failure mode, hysteresis loops, skeleton curves, lateral strength, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness and strength degradation. The failure mode of each specimen was bending failure. Reducing of the axial lo ratio or increasing the strength of reinforcements, the seismic performance of the specimen could be improved. C60 concrete can improve the seismic performance of HTRB630 reinforced columns. The lateral strength of the concrete column specimen with HTRB630 reinforcements was slightly increased, and the ductility and energy dissipation capacity were reduced, the stiffness degradation was more gradual, the strength degradation coefficient was greater than 0.94, but still met the requirements of the code for seismic design of buildings (GB50011-2010).
