Abstract:
CFST-RC pier is a modified form of CFST latticed column in which the main longitudinal limbs are connected with RC-web instead of steel tube lacings. This type of pier is constructed in tall bridges in seismic prone zones. RC-web increases the stiffness of columns, hence reducing the slenderness ratio for long columns. In this paper, an attempt has been made to obtain seismic performance characteristics of CFST-RC columns with variable widths of RC-web. Three CFST-RC piers with variable widths of RC-web were tested in the laboratory. Cyclic load test was performed to know the seismic behavior of this type of column. Under cyclic loading, the seismic performance of CFST-RC piers, such as failure modes, ductility, load displacement hysteretic curves, energy absorption capacity, strength and stiffness degradation have been studied. The results showed that the lateral load-carrying capacity and energy dissipation capacity of the columns increased with the increase in the width of RC-web, while the ductility decreased. Cracks in the RC-web and the tearing of steel tube at the base of the piers were the main failure modes of the CFST-RC piers.
