Implications of Bond-Slip in Inelastic Dynamic Responses of Degrading Structural Systems

摘要

The influence of bond-slip behavior, shown by pinched hysteretic curves in the inelastic response of degrading structural systems, is investigated in this paper. Inelastic response spectra are calculated and compared for deteriorating structures with and without manifestation of bond-slip. The response spectra are generated by using a smooth hysteretic model with distinct degrading parameters that are calibrated to the generic inelastic envelopes. In addition to the ductility demands, degraded residual strengths and stiffness of structural systems after an earthquake are considered as the relevant response measures. These measures can serve as design parameters for structures that should remain functional after an extreme event. Based on the response spectra analyses, it is found that nonlinear responses of degrading structural systems with bond-slip develop larger ductility demands and greater loss of strength and stiffness than the responses without bond-slip. Numerical results show that, ductility demand is increased up to 25-100% with consideration of slip in the model, as well as residual strength and stiffness decreased up to almost half.
