摘要
This paper presents an innovative two-level shape memory alloy (SMA)-based self-centring (SC) steel column, referred to as TSSSC. The TSSSC is interconnected by two series of SMA bolts, differing in diameters and lengths, to achieve multi-yielding. This is intended to fulfil multiple performance-based design objectives and augment the structural ductility of SMA elements. Utilizing the distinctive material property of phase transformation inherent in SMA, the two-level bolts can accomplish multi-level yielding in a straightforward yet effective manner. This is achieved by employing SMA elements of varying diameters in series and sequentially activating them via the material's inherent stiffness hardening. The behaviours of the TSSSC are meticulously analysed through refined finite element models (FEMs), which are corroborated by previous test results. The TSSSC demonstrates commendable multi-yielding behaviour and SC capacity during cyclic behaviour studies. In comparison to conventional SMA-based SC structures, the TSSSC exhibits markedly superior ductility, exceeding 10, whereas traditional structures typically range between 4 and 6. This enhanced ductility ensures that the TSSSC can comprehensively meet the multiple design objectives stipulated in the current performance-based seismic design. The SC and energy dissipation (ED) capacity of the TSSSC can be activated during frequent seismic events, thereby providing a safety buffer for severe earthquakes due to seismic uncertainty. Furthermore, parametric studies are conducted to identify critical design parameters, including the vertical design load, prestress in SMA bolts, and the linear stiffness ratio between the short and long bolts of the two-level SMA bolts. Design recommendations are subsequently proposed based on the findings of these parametric studies.
