Abstract

Hot-rolled ribbed bar (HRB) 600 is a new type of high-strength (HS) reinforcement. Its tensile stress‒strain curves show an obvious yield plateau, which can be used to effectively improve the seismic performance and reduce the reinforcement ratios for concrete members. To better understand the effect of HRB600 reinforcement on the hysteretic behavior of concrete columns, cyclic tests are first conducted. Subsequently, a hysteretic model for such columns is proposed. The modeling method is established by combining the skeleton curve and hysteretic rule. The skeleton curve is simplified as a trilinear model represented by yield, peak and ultimate points, and the hysteretic rule is established based on the experimental hysteretic curves obtained in this paper. Meanwhile, numerical models are established by OpenSees to simulate the hysteretic behavior of HS bar reinforced concrete columns. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed model and numerical models are compared, then evaluated based on experimental data. The research results show that the proposed model and numerical models show a similar prediction accuracy and can be used to well predict the hysteretic behavior of concrete columns built with HRB600 steel bars. The Bernoulli–Euler assumption and plastic hinge theory can be extended for estimating the strength and deformation of HRB600 steel bar reinforced columns.
