Abstract:
To solve the problems of easy rusting of assembled segmental pier reinforcements in coastal erosion environments and large residual displacements of bridge piers after strong earthquakes, hybrid reinforced precast segmental assembled concrete piers with stainless steel reinforcement and unbonded prestressed glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are proposed. The damage modes of the hybrid-reinforced piers were revealed through the proposed static tests. In addition, the seismic performance parameters including hysteresis performance, bearing capacity, energy dissipation, residual displacement, prestressing change, stiffness degradation, rebar strain, and joint opening of the piers were analyzed and compared with the seismic performance of the hybrid-reinforced segmental-assembled piers with bonded non-initial prestressed GFRP tendons. The results show that the unbonded GFRP reinforcement applied 50% of the vertical axial compression ratio of the top of the pier preload, and the residual displacement of the specimen could be reduced by nearly 40%; however, the peak bearing capacity was reduced by approximately 20%. With an increase in the reinforcement rate of the GFRP reinforcement and a reduction in the reinforcement rate of the stainless-steel reinforcement, the residual displacement of the specimen was reduced by 38%, and the bearing capacity was reduced by 10%. The vertical axial pressure ratio at the top of the pier, i.e., the effect of P-Δ effect on the maximum bending moment at the bottom of the pier, is more apparent. With sufficient initial tensile force and reinforcement rate of unbonded prestressed GFRP tendons, while considering the influence of the ultimate tensile strain of GFRP tendons, the same horizontal bearing capacity as the bonded case can be achieved, but the residual displacement of the pier column can significantly reduce. © 2025 Chang'an University.
