Abstract
Earthquake resilient steel frames, such as frames with self-centering connections or frames with passive energy dissipation devices, have been extensively studied during the past decade but little attention has been paid to their column bases. The paper presents a rocking damage-free steel column base, which uses post-tensioned (PT) high strength steel bars to control rocking behavior and friction devices to dissipate seismic energy. Contrary to conventional steel column bases, the rocking column base exhibits monotonic and cyclic moment-rotation behaviors that are easily described using simple analytical equations. Analytical equations are provided for different cases including yielding or loss of posttensioning in the PT bars and their efficiency is compared with numerical results from a three-dimensional non-linear finite element (FE) model in ABAQUS. Moreover, a simplified model is developed in OpenSees to evaluate how the use of the rocking column base affects the global behavior of a self-centering moment-resisting frame. Nonlinear dynamic analyses show that the rocking column base fully protects the first story columns from yielding and eliminate the first story residual story drift.
