ABSTRACT
A theoretical calculation method for RC bridge column hysteretic model in saline soil environment was proposed. The effects of axial compression ratio and corrosion rate were considered in the test. Based on the failure process of the specimen, a trilinear skeleton curve model was proposed and theoretically calculated. Through the regression analysis of the test results, the unloading stiffness of the specimen in the whole loading process is obtained, and the hysteretic model of RC bridge column is determined. Compared with the test results, it is found that the degree of agreement with the test results is high.
