Abstract
AbstractThis study focuses on the relationship between the internal viscous damping and the stiffness of concrete material and structure having small deformation amplitude. New damping parameters were proposed to describe the energy dissipation capacity and the vibration–amplitude attenuation rate. An improved damping suspension test method for predicting the essential material parameters, elasticity modulus and loss modulus, was developed and validated. The results show that the viscous damping energy dissipation capacity of concrete material and structure having small deformation amplitude is proportional to the product of the loss factor and the stiffness, and the vibration‐amplitude attenuation rate is proportional to the product of the damping ratio and the natural frequency. The variation in dimensionless damping mainly results from the change in the stiffness of concrete material and structure. The porosity shows the smallest elasticity modulus and the largest energy dissipation capacity of nano‐phase in cement paste under constant loading conditions. The improved damping suspension test method is proposed based on theoretical analysis and is validated using an experiment and finite element analysis.
