The cumulative energy dissipation by the specimens versus diferent drift and the compat- isons are shown in Fig. 20. According to Fig. 20, the cumulative dissipated energy for nor- ‘mal conerete and HPFRCC connections are approximately the same in initial stages until achieving the drift of 2.0%, due to nearly sim- ilar modulus of elasticity of normal concrete and HPFRCC spe mens. At the drifts higher than 2.0%, the tensile strength, shear strength, ductility and energy dissipation capacity are enhanced and the pinching of hysteretic loops in beam-column joint connec- tions are minimized, due to bridging of cracks and preventing the propagation and opening of the cracks. The HPFRCC specimens showed better energy dissipation performance compared to nor- ‘mal concrete connection specimens. The dissipated energy from initiation of the test until the drift of 46.0% for J1-NC, 2-NC, J1- CCI-HPFRCC and J1-C2-HPFRCC are 50.75, 19.71, 68.81 and 78.38 kN-m, respectively and for J2-C2-HPFRCC and J2°C1-HPFRCC spec- imens is obtained as 62.60 kN-m. By increasing the drift, 1-C2- LHPFRCC connection specimen is capable of providing more energy dissipation compared to that of other specimens after yielding. According. to Fig. 21, the cumulative dissipated energy ratio of specimens at the drift of 60% is compared with J1-NC and J2-NC specimens.

Suffness degradation Alternate stifiness of beam-column joint connection is approx- ‘mately equal to the line slope of maximum point to maximum point in each cycle. The alternate stiffness in alternate cycles is cal- culated by Eq. (1) (See Fig. 19}. Only the first load cycle is consid- ered in this calculation, VFL + IF (ail lar] ‘The stifiness degradation due to increase in drift of each test specimen is shown in Fig. 22.

According to Fig. 22, tifness degradation rate of the specimens ate observed up to the drift of 3.5% due to initial damages and no identical local damages was ‘observed. However, at the drifts higher than 40%, due to uncon- fined concrete of joint and development of shear cracks in J2-NC specimen, the local damages in joint caused severe degradation ‘compared to HPFRCC and normal concrete specimens with seismic details. Moreover, the removal of transverse reinforcements in HPFRCC joint specimens has lower effects on stiffness degradation. In J2-C2-HPFRCC specimen, mote reduction in stiffness is observed ‘due to the failure of top beam reinforcing bars atthe drift of 6.0% 3.27. Equivalent hysteretic damping ratio ‘The most common damping in structures is due to hysteretic load-tisplacement response [32]. The equivalent damping coefficient based on parameters from hysteretic behavior of bbeam-column joint connection specimens are obtained by Eq. (2) Equivalent hysteretic damping ratio represents the ratio between the value of hysteretic energy dissipation in each cycle to energy dissipation of a normal elastic equivalent cycle and is one of the best criteria to minimize the pinching effect (32). According to Fig. 19, & is the energy dissipation in each cycle and is equal to total area under load-lisplacement hysteretic loop and Ae repre- sents the potential elastic strain energy in equivalent linear elastic system under static condition, 1 areaof loop n= ag (srenor tang) 2 E& E ZPD AAA, ° In Eq, (3), Py and Dy represent the average maximum load and, displacement for cycle | and the effective stiffness is calculated by Bq.

Pos Du Equivalent hysteretic damping versus drift curve for each spec~ imen is shown in Fig. 23 For the drifts lower than 1.5%, the equivalent hysteretic damp- ing ratio is about 5 due to similarity of cracks and limitation of ‘damages in all specimens.

In J2-NC specimen, after the drift of 3.5%, the equivalent hysteretic damping ratio is not increased ‘due to pinching effect and strength reduction due to shea failure ‘of joint. in normal concrete specimen with seismic details and HPFRCC, the damping ratio is increased due to plastic hinge mech- anism, no pinching effect and inereasing of hysteretic loops. The ‘equivalent damping ratio in normal concrete connection with seis mic details atthe drift of 6.0% is limited to 18% and this value in HPFRCC connection specimens is increased to 20% to 30%. In Fig. 24, the compatison between equivalent hysteretic damping ratio of specimens compared to that of J2-NC and JI-NC specimens at the drift of 6.0% is shown. While the average equivalent hys- teretic damping ratio of HPFRCC specimens compared to that of JI-NC and J2-NC specimens at the drift of 6.0% is obtained to bel.35 and 3.38, respectively. 3.28, Damage index ‘The damage index model by Park and Ang [33] has been widely used because of its simplicity and the fact that it has been cali- brated using various experimental tests [34], According. to Fig. 25, Park and Ang damage index is used for the comparison of relative performance of beam-column joint connection specimens. ‘The damage index is expressed as follows: ow, B a Feb 6) where, y isthe maximum displacement demand under cyclic load- ing: 4. is the ultimate displacement capacity under one-directional load.
