Methodology for the Characterization of Seismic Limit States of Damage in RC Hollow-Piers Experiment


Abstract eng:
Reinforced concrete hollow piers have a seismic behavior similar to the one observed in structural walls, where the damage pattern and failure modes can be associated with both bending and shear mechanisms. On that context, the definition of expected physical damages is not straightforward and, thus, considering a single parameter that is able to predict these trends is also a complex task. To this extent, the present work aims to establish a strategy to identify the seismic limit states of damage in RC hollow piers and to define a set of engineering demand parameters that are able to set up the damage thresholds. For this purpose, several experimental tests conducted at LESE (Laboratory of Earthquake and Structural Engineering) from FEUP (Faculty of Engineering of Porto University) regarding reduced scale specimens with cyclic behavior were analyzed, where the damage pattern observation is assessed and corresponding response parameters (EDP) estimated.
