In this paper, a restoring force model, composed of a trilinear skeleton curve and hysteretic rules, is proposed based on nine pseudostatic tests of the energy-dissipation joint under horizontal low cyclic loading. The critical points of the simplified skeleton curve are obtained via theoretical derivation and FE simulation. The hysteretic rules for the joints are simplified as a concave hexagon, where the parameters of the critical points are optimized by the genetic algorithm (GA). Using the established trilinear skeleton curve, three different working stages, i.e., elastic, hardening, and softening, were divided by the critical points and the moment stiffness of three stages can be calculated. The proposed hysteretic rules of each stage can reveal and explain the “pinching” in the cyclic loading, which make it easier to understand the mechanism of the energy-dissipation joint. The comparison between the restoring force model and the tests shows that the simplified skeleton curves, the established hysteretic rules, and the ductility and the damping ratio are consistent with the experimental results. Finally, the effectiveness of the established restoring force model is verified.

Prefabricated shear walls have been widely used in engineering structures. Vertical connection joints of the walls are the key to ensure the safety of the structures. Steel–concrete composite structures have been proved to have a good bearing capacity and ductility. In this paper, a new type of prefabricated structure is proposed, in which vertical wall members are connected together through built-in steel sections and cast-in-place concrete. This paper studies the seismic performance of the proposed prefabricated concrete shear wall structure. Hysteretic curves and skeleton curves of the shear wall are obtained based on experimental analyses. A dimensionless skeleton curve model is developed using the theory of material mechanics and the method of regression analysis. A stiffness calculation method for different loading stages is obtained and a restoring force model is proposed. The proposed innovative prefabricated shear wall structure provides good resistance to seismic performance and the related analysis provides a fundamental reference for studies of prefabricated shear wall structures.

To evaluate the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the beam with concrete-encased steel truss, eight specimens with different types of steel truss, reinforcement ratios, and shear span ratios were tested by low-cyclic loading regime. The results indicated that beams with concrete-encased steel truss performed plumped load–displacement hysteretic loops as well as high strength and stiffness. Moreover, cross-web members improved their seismic behavior more effectively than non-cross-web members. Finally, the restoring force model of concrete-encased steel truss beam is proposed in accordance with the experimental results, which can be used to predict the load–displacement behavior of concrete-encased steel truss beam. The results could also provide a reference for the design and application of concrete-encased steel truss beam in practice.

Dynamic load experiments of the disc-shaped metal rubber isolation component are performed. Through analyzing variation law of the parameters with amplitude and frequency, which are stiffness coefficient, damping coefficient and damping component factor, the hysteresis restoring force model which is able to fully reveal the dynamic characteristics of the component is established. The experimental verification results show that the theoretic calculations are consistent with the experimental data, which verifies the practicability and effectiveness of mathematical model and parameter identification. It has important practical significance for design of vibration isolation component with different requirements.
