| Abstract: |
This paper introduces the theory and design method of replaceable coupling beams on the basis of a real engineering project including five 29-storey residential buildings. Based on the original structure, several configurations of the replaceable dampers located in the center part of the replaceable coupling beams were designed. To study their inelastic seismic performance, full-scale low-cyclic loading tests were conducted in State Key Laboratory of Disaster Reduction in Civil Engineering at Tongji University, while finite element models were built using the general finite element program ABAQUS. The results of the experiments and analysis demonstrate the excellent energy dissipation capacities of the replaceable devices. Good correlations were achieved between the analytical and experimental results of the energy dissipation devices. |
