Based on low-cycle loading tests, this study systematically investigates the seismic performance of steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) frame columns with different design parameters. The results indicate that high-strength steel SRC frame columns exhibit improved displacement ductility performance and excellent seismic performance. Additionally, an increase in shear span ratio, steel content, and stirrup ratio enhances the seismic performance, while an increase in axial compression ratio decreases the seismic performance.
In this paper, based on the low-cycle loading tests of 11 steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) frame columns with built-in Q690 steel and 5 SRC frame columns with built-in Q235 steel, a systematic study on their seismic performance was carried out. The design parameters of the specimens were the steel strength, axial compression ratio, shear span ratio, steel content, and stirrup ratio. The failure modes, stress characteristics, hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, displacement ductility performance, energy dissipation capacity, and other main seismic indicators of the specimens with different parameters were analyzed, and the corresponding relationship between the displacement ductility performance of the specimen and the energy dissipation capacity and design parameters was obtained. The results show that the load-displacement curve of the specimens is relatively full, the descending section is gentle, and various seismic performance indicators are relatively excellent, reflecting good seismic performance. Equipped with high-strength steel SRC frame columns, they can better bear the horizontal load, the displacement ductility performance is improved, and the energy dissipation capacity is slightly lower than that of ordinary-strength steel SRC frame columns. The increase in the shear span ratio, steel content, and stirrup ratio of the specimens helps to improve their seismic performance, whereas an increase in the axial compression ratio makes their seismic performance worse.
