Abstract:
Bi-axial quasi-static tests on 14 reinforced concrete thin-walled piers with rectangular hollow cross-sections were carried out. The bidirectional seismic properties, including load-displacement hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, displacement ductility, hysteretic energy and ultimate curvature, were discussed in consideration of the influence of slenderness ration, axial-load ratio and ratio of reinforcements. Results show that flexural failure is the main failure mode of the piers, the damage area of short piers focuses on the bottom area while the damage area of high piers moves upward obviously. The piers with bigger slenderness ratio and smaller axial-load ratio have more full hysteresis curves and bigger deformation capacity, which reveals excellent seismic performance. As the slenderness ratio ranges from 6.9 to 13.1, the displacement ductility of the pier decreases as slenderness ratio increases, but the displacement ductility of the pier with a slenderness ratio of 16.3 is obviously big. The piers with slenderness ratio bigger than 13.1 have big plastic damage area, but their ultimate curvature declines obviously.
