Experimental Analysis on Beam-column Behavior of Steel-concrete Composite Pylon

Ten specimens with perforated ribs, which can be divided into two series, were made to observe the behavior of steel-concrete composite pylon under axial load and cyclic load respectively. The experiment reveals the ultimate capacity and failure mode of two types of specimens under the cyclic load with different actual axial load level. Furthermore, it can be concluded from the results that the failure mode can be divided into two types, that is compression failure and tension failure. And the behavior of those specimens under cyclic load is influenced significantly under high axial load or without axial load at all. In addition, perforated ribs will prevent the plates under compression from overall buckling effectively based on the observation that the wavelength of plate is limited between two neighboring perforated ribs. At last, comparison on the interaction behaviors of the axial load (N) versus moment (M) is made between the results of experiment and calculation according to the criteria.

Experimental Investigation on the Aseismic Behavior of Seismic Damage Masonry Wall Retrofitted with Grouting and Steel Hoops

In order to accurately evaluate the aseismic behavior of the seismic damaged masonry pagodas destroyed by Wenchuan earthquake and strengthened after the earthquake, a test was conducted to acquire related parameters on seismic performance from the specimens made by masonry and retrofitted with grouting and steel hoops. Taking a seismic damaged ancient masonry pagoda in Sichuan as a case study, four kinds of primitive specimens are fabricated by simulating the conformation of the masonry pagoda. Then the primitive specimens are destroyed under cycle loads and the damaged specimens are repaired by grouting and steel hoops. Cycle controlling tests are conducted with the specimens and relevant data are acquired. Experimental results showed that grouting combined with steel hoops could improve the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of a seismic damage of brick masonry structure, but it do a little to improve the stiffness of a seismic damage structure. And the cracking load of the repaired masonry is much lower than the original undamaged structure.

Experimental Analysis of the Behavior of Steel Plate-masonry Composite Wall-beams

When steel plate-masonry composite structure used in the existing masonry structure with load bearing walls is removed for a large space, composite action should be considered between the beam and the supported masonry wall due to the arch effect formed in the supported wall. In order to investigate the working mechanism, failure mode, and load-carrying capacity, strain distribution in critical sections and mid-span defcection of this type of composite wall-beam, five steel plate-masonry wall-beams were tested under concentrated loads and analyzed, which considered variables of height-span-ratio of supported masonry wall, height-span-ratio of composite beam and thickness of steel plate. The results show that steel plate-masonry composite wall-beam starts failure from the masonry located at the line between loading point and supporting point; strain distribution of steel plate along section height meets the plane section assumption; the height-span-ratio of supported wall can directly influence the failure mode of masonry wall, buckling load corresponding to steel plate experiencing local buckling and ultimate load of tested specimens; the reasonable height of supported masonry wall is beneficial to the formation of composite action between supported masonry wall and composite beam, and the excessive high masonry wall will reduce the ultimate load of the tested specimen. Finally, the reasonable range for height-span-ratio of supported masonry wall was presented, and the proposed value representing the flexural stiffness of the steel plate-composite beam relative to the in-plane stiffness of the supported masonry wall was at least more than 79.

Seismic Shear Strength of Concrete Hollow Block Masonry

According to some problems existed in current Chinese codes for design of seismic shear strength of concrete hollow block masonry, the curve of shear strength of concrete hollow block masonry under shear-compression loading, including descent segment, was presented by theory of failure region and test results of 58 concrete block masonry walls under shear-compression loading.

Axial Bearing Capacity Design Method of Cold-Formed Steel Quadruple-C Built-up Section Members

The finite element model involving geometric large deformation,materials and contact nonlinearity is established.Specimens of cold-formed steel quadruple-C built-up section members are simulated and the finite element models are proved to be valid.Then,numerical analysis on the behavior of specimens with different slenderness ratio and flange flakiness ratio are carried out,and then the axial bearing capacities of specimens are obtained.Based on effective width method and direct strength method (DSM) in related codes,two design methods of cold-formed steel quadruple-C built-up section members under axial compression are proposed:effective length method and correction factor method.It is shown that:the final failure characteristics of all specimens are local buckling and distortional buckling.In the case of not considering the reduction of effective length,the results calculated by each code are slightly lower than those of test and FEM when the slenderness ratio is less than 50,while the results are too conservative when the slenderness ratio is more than 50.

Experimental Analysis on Mechanical Properties of Corroded Stud Shear Connectors

Four series stud push-out specimens were conducted to study static mechanical behavior when stud shear connectors of composite beams were corroded. Firstly, the studs were manually rapidly corroded by electrochemical methods, and then a static load test was performed on them. Test results show that when corrosion occurs at stud rod especially close to combined surface, the ultimate bearing capacity reduces most by 18%, slip under the same load increases, and slip relative to the ultimate load reduces most by 12%. When corrosion occurs at the large end of stud, it has little effect on ultimate bearing capacity of push-out specimens, but deformation performance of stud shear connectors is affected seriously.     

Analysis of Hysteretic Performance of C-section Specimens of Cold-formed Steel

Seven specimens were loaded with axial force and horizontal cycle force to analyze the hysteretic performance and the influencing factor as well. The influence of axial compression ratio and aspect ratio on the hysteretic performance was investigated, including the buckling behaviors and the energy dissipation. And the positive role of combined effects on the hysteretic performance of cold-formed specimens was studied emphatically. The experiment reveals that a large axial compression ratio incurs a serious decrease on hysteretic performance, while the combined effects give an increase on it. In addition, the numerical mode is set up. Considering double nonlinearity, the results of experiment and simulation match each other well. Based on the data, it is obtained that local buckling plays a great negative role during the loading course. At last, the characteristics of hysteretic performance of cold-formed steel specimens are concluded and some suggestions are given.
