dc.description.abstractThe pseudo-dynamic experimentation technique was investigated to evaluate the damage occurring in a reinforced concrete footing with stub column due to the overall response of a linear elastic two-storey, two-bay moment-resisting steel frame structure that is subjected to an earthquake excitation with increasing peak ground acceleration. The implicit Newmark's method with static condensation was utilised in the present study to solve the governing equation of motion of the multi-degree-of-freedom system. Five pseudo-dynamic experiments were performed by scaling the El Centro ground motion record, which occurred in California on 18 May 1940, to produce peak ground accelerations that ranged between 0.34 g and 2 g. All the laboratory experiments were undertaken under a constant axial load for the duration of the applied earthquake excitation, and utilised Rayleigh damping to model the energy loss within the overall structure. The pseudo-dynamic method provides a reliable method to relate damage suffered by the stub column due to the overall structure's response to the applied earthquake excitation. The method enables the structural capacity and failure mechanisms of the reinforced concrete stub column to be observed in relation to the seismic demand. The hysteretic response of the stub columns and energy dissipation characteristics were determined, and it was shown that the yield strength of the longitudinal reinforcement within the stub column has a significant impact on the maximum shear capacity and damage incurred by the stub column. The damage is more pronounced with an increase in the number of cycles of vibration, particularly at displacements that exceed the yield strength of the reinforcement. An increase in the hysteretic energy dissipated by the reinforced concrete stub column results in a concomitant increase in the observed damage to the stub column in the form of concrete cracking, reinforcement yielding and spalling of the concrete.en_US
