Abstract

The special-shaped column structure system has more advantages than the rectangular column system in terms of architectural design and actual use. As a relatively new structural form, the concrete special-shaped column structure has not accumulated enough engineering practical experience. In this study, the rotation-moment curve of the plastic hinge of special-shaped column frame element was defined, the coupled PMM hinge applied to the frame element was studied, and the yield surface of the hinge was drawn. On this basis, an elastoplastic pushover analysis was conducted on a 12-storey special-shaped column frame model, its failure under different earthquakes was simulated, and its seismic performance was studied. The work of this article can provide reference for the engineering application of special-shaped column frame structure.
