Abstract

This paper discusses an experimental study investigating the behavior of the multidirectional box-shaped shearing damper (MBSD) proposed for a bridge structures application. The MBSD consisted of a box-shaped steel plate hot coil (SPHC) material with an effective dimension of 100 x100 mm2 designed to dissipate earthquake excitation energy under combined resultant from longitudinal and transversal directions. The specimens varied with two different web slendernesses, i.e., 58.8 and 27.0. Furthermore, to investigate the different load direction effects, four different loading angles with respect to one of the web planes, i.e., 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45° to be implemented. The specimens were subjected to cyclic loading according to AISC/ANSI 341-22. In the experiment, the shear yield strength, ultimate state behavior, and energy dissipation achievement were evaluated. The result was that MBSD could achieve shear strength and sufficient energy dissipation under different angles of loading direction ranging from yielding to ultimate deformation state. The yielding and ultimate characteristics of MBSD were coincident with the ordinary shear panel damper. A stockier web resulted in a more stable stiffness after the yield point and less buckling of the web but also a slightly earlier strength degradation due to the earlier fracture damage to the welded joint. Finally, the MBSD device had visibility for application on bridge structure as a seismic device by considering appropriate strength and deformation capacity compatibility adjustment with the ultimate displacement limit of 0.11 rad drift angle. In addition, the recommendation for using a better elongation capacity steel material and less welding assembly will improve the behavior and seismic performance of the MBSD.

Abstract

Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures, though strong and economical, may need to be strengthened due to increased load demand for upgraded room functions. Strengthening an RC beam element with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) offers flexural strength enhancement, corrosion resistance, and cost efficiency. However, the study that considers the full-scale dimension of a beam strengthened with GFRP is still limited. Therefore, more studies on the flexural strength enhancement of RC beams with GFRP need to be conducted. This research investigated the flexural performance of full-scale RC beams strengthened with externally bonded GFRP. This study involved testing five beam specimens, each with a different number of GFRP layers attached to the outermost tensile zone of the cross-section. Flexural testing was conducted using a four-point bending setup with a loading–unloading scheme to capture the specimens’ elastoplastic behavior, considering recovery during unloading. The analyzed parameters included stiffness, yield strength, debonding strength, ultimate strength, and ductility. Furthermore, the flexural strength was predicted through analytical calculations based on the fiber section method, while the shear strength was estimated following the ACI 318M-14 code. The experimental results showed that GFRP strengthening considerably increased stiffness and first flexural strength of RC beams as a proportion of the number of layers during the pre-debonding state. Despite the debonding occurrence initiating a temporary lapse in the role of GFRP at 0.67% to 0.93% of displacement-span-ratio, it decreased the flexural resistance momentarily. Then, the strengthened beams with two-to-four-layer GFRP still exhibited second ultimate flexural strength enhancement within the range 14.35% to 39.22%. Furthermore, GFRP strengthening generally preserved beam ductility at the second ultimate flexural strength due to the catenary action from debonded GFRP in the plastic hinge zone. Thus, additional GFRP for strengthening RC beams could be effective in the case of a positive bending moment to enhance the stiffness, strength, and ductility
