Description
Summary:In this study, 6 prefabricated reinforced concrete columns with different lengths of connectors and thicknesses of the steel plate used in connectors and 1 cast-in-place reinforced concrete column were made, and then these specimens were tested under the low cycled reversed loading experiment to study the seismic performance of the prefabricated reinforced concrete columns with steel mortise and tenon connections. The failure mode, bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation of the specimens were analyzed. The results show that compared with the cast-in-place specimens, the bearing capacity of the fabricated specimen is reduced by 5.77%–16.67%, but the ductility is increased by 11.28%–26.69%, and the cumulative energy consumption is increased by 3.40%–30.29%; the stiffness, bearing capacity degradation, and hysteretic behavior of the fabricated specimen under different displacement angles are less different from those of the cast-in-place specimens. When the length of the connector is 100 mm and the thickness of the steel plate used in the connector is 4 mm, the weld fracture may occur in the connection area of the fabricated specimen. The test results show that when the connector with a length of 100 mm is used, the thickness of the steel plate of the connector should not be less than 6 mm.
