Abstract:
Combining the design concept of the seismic resilience with precast bridge technology, a numerical model using OpenSees software was developed in this study to simulate the seismic performance of precast self-centering bridge columns. The proposed numerical model of precast self-centering bridge columns was validated throguh the quasi-static test data. Parametric studies were performed in terms of aspect ratio, the areas and initial tensioning force of axial post-tensioned steel strands. It is concluded that, with the increase of aspect ratio of the precast self-centering bridge columns, the initial stiffness, post-yield stiffness, lateral strength and energy dissipation capacity decreased. As initial tensionforce increased, the yield strength increased, while the effect on the post-yield stiffness was negligible. The area of post-tensioned steel strands imposed marginal effect on the yield strength, but significant effect on the post-yield stiffness with an approximate positive correlation. © 2022, The Editorial Board of Journal of Basic Science and Engineering.
