Abstract

In this paper, OpenSees is used to analyze the moment-curvature (M-φ) curves of the bottom cross section of 4×40m continuous girder piers under the same reinforcing conditions, which are completely made of C40 concrete, partially made of Engineered Cementitious Composite material concrete(ECC) outsourced concrete, and completely made of ECC concrete, and then evaluate its seismic performance. Meanwhile, the yield curvature and ultimate curvature changes of the abutment section under different axial compression ratios are investigated. The results show that the yield curvature and ultimate curvature of ECC are larger than those of ordinary concrete, and the deformation capacity of ECC is stronger under the same axial force. The results also show that the yield moment and yield curvature of the section gradually increase with the increase of axial compression ratio, and the curvature ductility of the section deteriorates.
