Hybrid simulation of a partial‐strength steel–concrete composite moment‐resisting frame equipped with hysteretic replaceable beam splices
Description
This dataset contains the data of a seismic response assessment of a steel–concrete moment-resisting frame (MRF) equipped with special dissipative replaceable components (DRCs): the dissipative replaceable beam splices (DRBeS), which combine large energy dissipation with ease of replacement. A six-storey building prototype in the laboratory by means of Hybrid testing. The structural scheme was endowed with a hybrid lateral-resisting system characterized by two-span MRFs equipped with DRBeS. The span length was 4.275 m with an inter-storey height of 3.5 m. The structural steel was selected to be S355 for all the elements, but for the fuse plates of the DRBeS, that were made of S235.
In detail the dataset contains all the data recorded during the hybrid tests in three different limit state conditions:
- Damage limitation (DL)
- Significant damage (SD)
- Near collapse (NC)
Different sensor types were used, i.e. load cells measure the loads applied by the horizontal actuators, strain gauges, displacement transducers and inclinometers.
This work was carried out with a financial grant from the Research Fund for Coal and Steel of the European Union, within the DISSIPABLE project: ‘Fully dissipative and easily repairable devices for resilient buildings with composite steel–concrete structures’, Grant No. 800699-RFCS-2017.
