Abstract
This article mainly focused on the seismic performance of steel reinforced recycled concrete frame structure under low-cyclic reversed loading. To evaluate seismic performance of steel reinforced recycled concrete frame structure, a two-span three-storied steel reinforced recycled concrete frame was conducted at civil engineering laboratory of Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology. Experimental and numerical studies were implemented to investigate the crack status, failure modes, hysteresis loops, skeleton curves, energy dissipation capacity, load–displacement curves, P-Δ effect, and the influence of recycled concrete strength under low-cyclic reversed loading. Results indicate that the steel reinforced recycled concrete frame structure has good seismic behavior during test, and the spindle-shaped hysteresis loops illustrate that the frame has relatively high energy dissipation capacities. The design of steel reinforced recycled concrete frame satisfied the requirements of strong column weak beam, strong shear weak bending, and strong joint weak components. Finally, the simulated results obtained by OpenSees software agree well with the test, which verify the rationality and reliability of the proposed model. The conclusions of this article will be helpful for the design of steel reinforced recycled concrete structures in seismic regions.
