Seismic Performance Study on Side-Strengthened Concrete Beam Using Finite Element Analysis Method

Abstract:

Side-strengthened reinforced concrete or precast prestressed concrete beam for inadequate seismic performance is proposed in this paper. The factors are simulated by ABAQUS software for the impact of seismic performance, which are difference of material strength grade, initial load and the order of prestressing and pretightening. The strengthening technology can improve the seismic performance of side-strengthened beam. The meterials with different strength grades which used for beams give full play to their role. The initial load has little effect on the seismic performance. The way of prestressing after pretightening plays a favorable effect for the seismic performance. The simulation results can accurately reflect the impact of these factors on the side-strengthened beam.
