Parameter Analysis of Resilient Precast Concrete Beam–Column Joints

Conventional precast structures often face the challenge of post-earthquake repair, especially at beam–column joints. A new type of precast concrete beam–column joint with a replaceable energy dissipation device consisting of cross-shaped and H-shaped steel was proposed in this paper, which was char...

description Conventional precast structures often face the challenge of post-earthquake repair, especially at beam–column joints. A new type of precast concrete beam–column joint with a replaceable energy dissipation device consisting of cross-shaped and H-shaped steel was proposed in this paper, which was characterized by the use of replaceable energy-dissipating devices to improve the seismic capacity. Based on the previous test results of the group, this paper used ABAQUS to investigate how factors like the thickness of the H-shaped steel webs and the size and number of openings affected the seismic performance of precast concrete beam–column joints with replaceable energy dissipation devices. The results showed that (1) an increase in the H-shaped steel’s thickness in the REDDC could improve the load-carrying capacity of the node, but the energy dissipation capacity was weakened, and (2) the length and width of the H-shaped steel openings had almost no effect on the ultimate load-carrying capacity within a certain range, but increasing the size of the openings could improve the energy dissipation capacity and reduce the ultimate load-carrying capacity at the same time. Compared with the length of the openings, the width of the openings had a more significant impact on the energy dissipation capacity. (3) The peak load-carrying capacity decreased with an increase in the number of openings in the H-shaped steel.
