Abstract
Previous studies show that the offshore atmospheric environment corrosion gradually reduces the physical and mechanical properties of steel and eventually deteriorate the seismic performance of steel structures. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the seismic performance of corroded steel frame columns in offshore atmospheric environment. Artificial climate accelerated corrosion tests and cyclic loading tests were carried out on six steel frame columns. The effects of corrosion level and axial compression ratio on the failure mechanism and seismic performance of the columns were investigated in details. The test results indicate that with an increase in corrosion level or axial compression ratio, the displacements associated with plate local buckling, plastic hinge formation and final failure tend to reduce gradually. The bending capacity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of columns also significantly decrease, and the strength and stiffness degradation effect intensify. Furthermore, a moment-rotation hysteretic model in plastic hinge zone for corroded steel frame columns, considering the cyclic deterioration in strength and stiffness, was established by introducing a two-parameter seismic damage model. The predicted moment-rotation curves and energy dissipations coincided well with the experimental results, verifying the rationality and applicability of the proposed hysteretic model. The research results provide theoretical support for elastic-plastic time history analysis and seismic risk assessment of existing steel frame structures in offshore atmospheric environment.
