Stress-Strain Relationship of Circular Concrete Columns Confined with Lateral Pre-tensioned FRP

The active confinement for the core concrete can be provided by lateral pre-tensioned FRP, the stress hysteresis of FRP can be avoided, and good confinement effect for concrete columns can be got. It must cause large error if adopt the calculated model and constitute model of concrete columns confined with non-pretentioned FRP. The initial confined stress and effective confined stress associated with the lateral pre-stress were introduced. According to the test results and finite element simulation, the calculated model on peak stress, peak strain, ultimate stress and ultimate strain of circular concrete columns confined with lateral pre-tensioned FRP were proposed, and the initial elastic modulus of circular concrete columns confined with lateral pre-tensioned FRP was analyzed. Based the exiting stress-strain models of circular concrete columns confined with FRP, the three linear stress-strain model of circular concrete columns confined with lateral pre-tensioned FRP was recommended, and good agreement between theoretical and test results is achieved.     

Strain rate effects on dynamic behavior of reinforcement concrete columns with various reinforcement ratio

The mechnical characteristics of concrete is sensitive to the strain rate and it is crucial to consider the effect of load rates on the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to dynamic loads such as severe earthquakes. In this study, numerical simulations on the dynamic behavior of typical RC column specimens under dynamic loadings with different load rates were performed. Concrete constitutive model considering the strain rate effects proposed by the CEB code was employed with a fiber model to characterize the nonlinear strain rate dependent behavior of RC columns. The developed dynamic fiber element model was validated by comparing the simulated results of four RC column specimens with the fast loading test results. Results show that the developed fiber element model can predict the behavior of RC columns with acceptable accuracy. After valiating the proposed fiber elemen model considering the strain rate effect, the load carrying capacity of different RC columns with various longitudinal reinforcement ratios and volumetric stirrup ratios were simulated. Results show that the trends of the influences of longitudinal reinforcement ratios and volumetric stirrup ratios on the load carrying capacity of the RC columns under dynamic loadings are different.

Axial Force Stiffness Interaction in Seismic Analysis of RC Double Column Bridges

Earthquake induced dynamic axial force in reinforced concrete (RC) bridge bent columns will not only change the yield strength of the columns but also change their stiffness, which is seldom considered by the common lumped plasticity line model. Based on the fiber element model results that taking into account the influence of dynamic axial force on strength and stiffness simultaneously, the axial force stiffness interaction effect on the seismic responses of RC double column bridges was analyzed. The results show that, axial force stiffness interaction has a large effect on the seismic responses of the double column bridge in the elastic range, and it does not alter the ultimate capacity of the columns. Since the stiffness of the columns under compression and tension dynamic axial forces offset each other, the global displacement of bridge bent with equal columns is relatively unaffected by the axial force stiffness interaction, however, the differences of the column member forces are manifest. For the short column controls the global stiffness, the axial force stiffness interaction has significant influences on both the global displacement and member force responses. The influences become larger as the irregularity of the bridge bent increases, so the interaction between axial force and member stiffness should be sufficiently considered in seismic analyses.

火灾下无防火保护的结构构件温度会迅速上升,从而造成钢材和混凝土的强度明显下降。为了研究火灾下钢管约束型钢混凝土柱的受力性能,考虑火灾下钢管约束型钢混凝土柱的不均匀温度分布及温度对材料力学性能的影响,提出了火灾下受轴心荷载作用的钢管约束型钢混凝土柱承载力的计算方法。利用有限元软件ABAQUS对提出的计算方法进行了验证,结果吻合较好。进而采用该计算方法对影响高温下承载力的参数进行了分析,研究表明：随着构件截面尺寸的增加以及混凝土强度和钢材强度的提高,构件的承载力逐渐增加,而钢管壁厚的改变对承载力并无太大影响。利用有限元软件ABAQUS分析了荷载比、构件尺寸、钢管壁厚等因素对构件耐火极限的影响,发现耐火极限随着荷载比和钢管壁厚的增加而减小,随着构件尺寸的增加而增大。     

Post-earthquake Residual Deformation Prediction of SDOF System

Accurately predicting the residual displacement of reinforced concrete (RC) structures after an earthquake is of great significance in post-earthquake structural performance evaluation and control. To study the residual deformation of the structure, seismic time-history responses of single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems with different parameters were analyzed. Based on the analytical results, simplified models for estimating the likely residual deformations of structures characterized by Takeda and Kinematic hysteretic models were proposed respectively, and the residual deformation was found to be sensitive to hysteretic characteristics, stiffness ratio of structures, peak ground acceleration (PGA), as well as maximum elasto-plastic deformation. A case study for RC single-column bridge pier was provided to illustrate the process of residual deformation calculation and post-earthquake performance evaluation by using the proposed methods. Calculation results indicate that the residual deformation of the single-column pier characterized by the Takeda model often is much larger than that of columns characterized by the Kinematic model.

Under seismic action, the damage of critical regions in ductile reinforced concrete structures can be regarded as combined results of cumulative damage caused by positive/ negative displacements with different displacement levels after yielding. On the basis of symmetric low-cyclic fatigue experiments on eight half-scale RC columns under different displacement levels, the development of cumulative damage and relationships between low-cyclic fatigue life and symmetric displacement amplitude are investigated. It is hoped that on this ground, more rational damage criteria for RC structures can be put forward.

Experimental and Parametric Analysis of the Flexural Behavior of HRBF RC Beams

In order to investigate the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with high strength hot rolled bars of fine grains, static bending test on four rectangle cross section HRBF400, HRBF500 RC beams was conducted. The results show that the experimental maximum crack width under short term load meets the requirement of current code while calculated value does not meet; mid span deflection of RC beams with HRBF400 under short term load still meets the requirement of current code while RC beams with HRBF500 does not meet. Bearing capacity calculating formula under conditions of crack/deflection control was proposed and conception of component's bearing capacity utilization coefficient (BCUC) was put forward. The influences of reinforcement strength, reinforcement diameter, concrete grade, reinforcement ratio, concrete cover thickness and high span ratio on BCUC were analyzed. Within the range of economic reinforcement ratio, ductility of HRBF RC beams meets the requirement. Energy dissipation capacity of HRBF RC beams is similar to that of normal RC beams at low reinforcement ratio but it decreases faster than normal RC beams with the increasing of reinforcement ratio. Energy dissipation capacity of HRBF RC beams is higher than that of normal RC concrete beams in elastic stage and it enhances with the increasing of reinforcement ratio.

Mechanical Properties of Regional Confined Rectangular Concrete Columns under Axial Loads

Based on experimentthatal results,we conclude that confinement in regional confined concrete(RCC) columns is more efficient than that in normal confined concrete(NCC) columns.As loads increase,NCC column sections tend to become round;the corner concrete in the core area may break;and,the strains of external stirrups tend to drop slightly after the peak load.RCC columns,however,remained thoroughly rectangular and the stirrup strain increased steadily.The failure mode of RCC columns was totally different from that of NCC columns.While NCC columns tended to fail in shear,followed b a rapid drop in load carrying capacity,the RCC columns developed gaps in their midsections and the columns separated into several slender columns.After a long deformation period,the RCC columns retained approximately 40% of their load carrying capacity.It can be expected that this characteristic may benefit the anti-seismic capacity of structures.

The results show that steel tubular works in elastic state and a small part of concrete beyond of compressive stress limits; steel tube and concrete adhesive well. The hysteretic energy dissipation capacity and failure mode under cyclic loading were revealed by nonlinear FEM. weakest position and ultimate bearing capacity of the node were obtained from FEM results. The method of combining full-scale test and FEM can well reveal the mechanical behavior and the seismic behavior of the node.     

柱失效方程中荷载相关特性对承载力抗震设计可靠度的影响

以竖向荷载和水平地震作用组合下的钢筋混凝土柱和钢柱为对象,研究了失效方程中荷载相关特性对柱承载力抗震可靠性的影响。根据现行《混凝土结构设计规范》和《钢结构设计规范》分析了不同柱弯矩轴力相关曲线的特性。结合多个框架结构实例,对比了柱失效方程中荷载相关曲线与规范考虑情形的异同。实例分析表明:水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下,小偏压RC柱和工字型钢柱的荷载相关曲线与规范考虑的情形较为符合,均近似为负相关的直线;水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下,大偏压RC柱的荷载相关曲线则与规范考虑的情形有较大出入,存在明显的正相关段部分。在此基础上,考虑失效方程复杂特性,依据已有的荷载和抗力变量概率模型,采用Monte Carlo法分析了水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下柱的可靠性。结果表明:钢柱和小偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度随轴压力荷载效应比值的变化幅度较小,与规范模式计算结果较接近;大偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度随轴压力荷载效应比值的变化会有较大幅度波动,与规范模式计算结果差异较大;当轴压力荷载效应比值为负时,大偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度会低于规范计算值较多,现行柱可靠性设计方法会偏于不安全。     

Numerical Simulations and Design Method of Coupled Wall System with FRC Coupling Beams

Using the software, ABAQUS, accurate simulations of seismic behavior of 2 coupled wall specimens and 2 cantilever structure wall specimens using high performance fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in plastic hinge under quasi static cyclic loading were carried out. The analysis model proves to be effective with the accordance between results of computation and experiment, then it can be used to analyze the seismic behavior of coupled wall system with FRC coupling beams. By using the verified numerical model, the ability of FRC coupling beams instead of RC coupling beams to provide acceptable performance was discussed. In addition, the impact of coupling ratio on seismic behavior of coupled walls was studied. The results show that coupled walls in which FRC coupling beams are used instead of traditional RC beams have good energy dissipation and ductility, and its initial stiffness is increased and stiffness degradation is slow. And as the coupling ratio of coupled wall structures increases, the stiffness and strength increase. But if the coupling ratio is too large, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity will be significantly reduced.

Experimental analysis of strengthening effect of corroded reinforced concrete beams strengthened with bolted steel plates

In order to study the mechanical behavior of corroded reinforced concrete beams strengthened with bolted steel plates, this paper designed 12 reinforced concrete beams. These beams were corroded by using accelerated electrochemical corrosion method with a designed corrosion ratio of 10%. The pre-compression experiments were performed for all RC beams before strengthening and the maximum crack width was controlled as 0.2 mm. According to the thickness of concrete cover, the beams were divided into 3 groups. Each group was composed of one comparative beam and three tested beams strengthened by steel plates bolted with study according to the thickness of steel plates which were 3 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm, respectively. It was shown that the strain distributions along the height of the strengthened beams at middle-span were in good agreement with the plain section assumption basically. The serviceability performances of corroded RC beams were significantly improved and these ultimate bearing capacities increased obviously. The steel plate bolted with stud effectively reduced the crack width and the extension height of reinforced concrete beams. It was indicated that an increase of steel plates with 35 mm resulted in a decrease of deflection by 13%51% when beams had the same thickness of concrete cover and corrosion ratio. Influence of the thickness of concrete cover on the ultimate bearing capacity was not obvious.
