Abstract:

Based on the concept of energy intensive and replaceable design, a segmental assembled pier with external replaceable corrugated steel plate and embedded steel pipe tenon and mortise is proposed. To verify the replaceability of prefabricated bridge piers, specimens with corrugated steel plates and perforated corrugated steel plates were designed and manufactured, respectively. The quasi-static cyclic loading test was carried out on one specimen. The fatigue loading test was conducted on the other one. After the test, the damaged corrugated steel plate was replaced by a new one, and then a quasi-static reciprocating loading test was conducted again. The seismic performance and replaceability of the pier were evaluated by comparison of the damage process, energy dissipation capacity, bearing capacity. The results show that external perforated corrugated steel plates have a better matching design bearing capacity with embedded parts compared with external corrugated steel plates. Although the strength and stiffness of the steel plate were reduced, the energy consumption capacity is better. Since the energy consumption of the bottom pier is mainly concentrated on the external corrugated steel plate, there is no crushing failure and damage of the bottom concrete section before and after the test. The external corrugated steel plate can achieve replaceable performance under the design target drift ratio.

Key words: precast assembled pier, corrugated steel plate, pseudo-static testing, replaceability, hysteretic behavior
