Experimental and Numerical Study of the Performance of Self-Centering Frame Structures Subjected to Debris-Flow Impacts

To investigate the performance of self-centering RC frame structures subjected to debris-flow impacts, a series of debris-flow impact tests of a traditional RC frame structure (TF) and a self-centering RC frame structure (SCF) was designed and carried out to determine the damage mechanism and the mechanical responses. The test results indicated that in the same loading cases, the residual displacement of the SCF was 68% that of the TF, the peak...
