Abstract:
Based on low reversed cyclic loading experiments of 8 concrete beams, failure pattern, hysteresis curve, ductility, rigidity degeneration, energy dissipation were systematically studied. The effects of prestressing tendon type and prestressing ratio (PPR) on seismic performance were investigated. Studies show that the prestressing ratio is the main factor to affect the seismic performance of prestressed beams, which gradually decreased with the increase of prestessing ratio. If the prestressing ratio remained the same, the energy dissipation capacity of unbonded prestressed concrete beams was better than bonded prestressed beams. With combined bonded and unbonded prestressed FRP tendons, the ductility ratio of the beams was increased by 12% and 26%, respectively, as compared with the ductility ratio of bonded and unbonded prestressed beams, and the hysteretic curve became more plump. Finite element analysis was conducted using nonlinear material model, and the results were close to the test data.
