Study on Seismic Behavior of Self-Centering Precast Frame

Abstract:

Self-Centering structure is a kind of new structure, which aims for reducing the residual deformation of structure after the earthquake. In order to research the Seismic Behavior of Self-centering Prefabricated concrete frame, a new joint applied with prestressed tendons and a traditional joint are designed in this paper with the finite element software ABAQUS. The seismic performances of them are contrastively analyzed. The new joint is found to have better self-centering capacity. Then two plane frame models are analyzed. The result shows that the frame applied with prestressed tendons has some capacity of self-centering and enough energy dissipation effects.
