Shear Performance of Steel Plate with Trilateral Constrained

The load carrying test for four steel plate shear walls specimens with various ratio of width thickness are carried out so as to test the failure mode and the shear strength of steel plate with trilateral constrained, and the lateral stiffness and the buckling mode are investigated in the test. The result indicates that the ratio of width thickness of steel plate exerts effects on the shear carrying capacity and failure mode; the buckling of steel plate does not have lateral stiffness. Based on the failure mode of steel plate, the computation model of lateral performance is presented by theoretical analysis. The restraining stiffness of double angle and the buckling restrained stiffness of steel plate are the important design conditions. Formulae to determine the elastic lateral stiffness and the angle type is proposed, which can be used in the preliminary design of steel plate with trilateral constrained.

Finite Element Analysis of Hysteretic Behavior of PR Steel Frame-steel Plate Shear Wall

In order to investigate the seismic behavior of partially-restrained steel plate shear wall (Steel Plate Shear Wall, SPSW), the effects of partially-restrained connection on the hysteretic behavior, lateral bearing capacity, stiffness, energy dissipation of SPSW with strong and weak steel frame were simulated under low cyclic loading via equivalent strip model that had been verified by experiment. The results show that hysteretic behavior of SPSW has dual characters. The hysteretic curves of SPSW with strong surrounding steel frame become fat, and the hysteretic curves of SPSW with weak surrounding steel frame become narrow. With the increase of the bending capacity of PR connection, the hysteretic curves of SPSW become fat gradually, and the capacity of energy dissipation and lateral bearing increase. However, the effect on lateral stiffness of PR connection of SPSW with strong steel frame is higher than the one with weak steel frame.     

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.

Experimental Investigation of Steel Frames with Infill Prefabricated Reinforce-Concrete Shear Walls

In order to improve seismic performance of steel frame with prefabricated reinforce-concrete infill shear walls (SFCW), the ear bar device was used in the connection between the steel frame and the infill wall. Two one-bay, two story and one-third scaled models of SFCW were tested with low cyclic load. The working performance of ear bar connection, the cracks development in infill walls and deformation performance of SFCW were investigated. And the failure mode, hysteretic behavior,stiffness degradation,deformation and ductility and energy dissipation of composite structure were analyzed. The comparison study of steel frame with prefabricated, cast-in-place and silt reinforce-concrete infill shear walls was carried out. The results show that no failure occurs in the connection between the steel frame and the infill wall because ear plates below and up the beam-to-column connections are added in the specimens, and the connection device of ear plate presents good working performance. The properly designed SFCW has good ductility.

There are numerous shear walls with flanges in the high-rise buildings in P.R.China.The shear strength formula for shear walls in Chinese design codes lacks experimental data,while test results in other nations lack aseismatic shear strength test results for shear walls with flanges under axial force.In this paper,we report low-cyclic reverse load test results of shear wall models with large dimensions,one shear wall having an I-shaped cross-section and two with a T-shaped cross-section.We discuss why the aseismatic shear walls of high-rise buildings with large height-to-length ratios have small shear span ratios.We assess the reliability of the shear strength formulary in the Chinese codes for design of shear wall using the international shear wall test results.     

Experimental Analysis of Time-dependent Shear Behavior on Stud Connectors

With regard to the long span continuous composite beams, the early composite shear stud strength at the joint surface between the steel girder and concrete slab at different concrete ages should be considered while the concrete slabs are casted by phases in construction stage. In this study, the push-out test of stud shear connectors were conduced at different concrete ages. Meanwhile, the change law of the ultimate shear strength, ultimate slip deformation, design shear strength, and shear stiffness of the stud shear connectors with concrete ages were analyzed, and the corresponding time-dependent calculation equations were presented. The results include that the main failure modes of stud shear connectors are the concrete slab splitting failure before 3-days concrete age. The load-slip laws of stud shear connectors at different concrete ages are basically the same, however, the shear strength and stiffness all increase with the concrete ages prolonging, and the increase degree is faster at early ages, but slower at later ages, which indicates that the early composite shear stud strength at the joint surface of composite beams should not be neglected.     

Simple Shear Test of Interface between Sand and Structure under High Stress

By using a simple shear apparatus that is developed from RMT-150B,a series of simple shear tests of interface between saturated sand and structure under high normal stress were carried out to study constitutive law and shearing stiffness of interface to provide some theoretical evidences for design and calculation of projects concerned with mechanical problem of interface.In test,sand was consolidated in upper shearing box firstly,then,shear was started and testing data was recorded under high and constant normal stress.During the process,sand can deform relatively freely.It is shown that the relation curve between shear stress and shear displacement under high normal stress in simple shear tests is different from that in direct shear tests,and the complete shearing deformation process of interface under high stress can be described as a nonlinear elastic-perfect plastic form;Weibull distribution with three parameters can overcome the mathematical deficiencies of hyperbola in NEPP.The new model which is established by substituting Weibull distribution for the hyperbola of NEPP better agrees with the testing data.The regressive results of the initial shearing stiffness demonstrate that the linear function is slightly better than power function to express the relation between the initial shearing stiffness and normal stress.Based on the new interface model,the formula of tangential shearing stiffness is proposed,meantime,the change trend of tangential shearing stiffness of the new model is compared with that of NEPP.     

Seismic Tests and Pushover Analysis of Spatial RC Frame-Shear Wall Structures

Pseudo-static tests of three one-storey spatial RC frame-shear wall structures with floor slabs were conducted to investigate their failure modes and hysteretic behaviors. The test results were compared with those of pushover analysis. It is shown that: 1) damage of the frame beams occurs later and is less than that of the shear wall and the frame columns; 2) damage of the floor slabs under lateral loading is significant in regions close to the shear wall, and tensile stresses of slabs' steel bars in these regions are much larger; 3) in comparison with the case that the floor slabs are neglected, the maximum lateral load that a frame-shear wall structure can bear is larger in the case that the floor slabs are taken into account, and the contribution ratio of the shear wall also increases; 4) shear forces carried by the frame columns with identical cross sections and reinforcement details but located at different positions are close to each other on the whole.

Research on Deformation Equation and Dynamic Properties of Hybrid Structure

Based on the principle of interactive analysis,the deformation equation of hybrid structure which contains rigid character value is established using the analysis of the frame - shear wall structure for reference, considering the rigid zone between concrete beam and concrete - tube, the shear deformation of concrete - tube, axial deformation of steel frames and semi - rigid connection between steel columns and concrete beams. Assuming the hybrid structure to be a continuous elastic structure with infinite degree of freedom, a free vibration equation has been built and the formula for calculating free vibration period has been deduced. The influences of various parameters to the coefficient of free vibration period relating to rigid character value are discussed according to some diagrams. It is shown that the rigid zone can lessen the free vibration period but the shear deformation of concrete - tube, axial deformation of steel frames, and the semi -rigid connection between steel columns and concrete beams can enhance the free vibration period.

Yield Displacement Calculation Method of High-Strength Concrete Shear Wall

It is assumed that concrete compressive stress of the cross-section compression zone is linear distribution when the cross-section of high-strength concrete shear wall reaches yield situation. Based on the plane section assumption, the yield curvature formula of shear wall section is obtained by using moment - curvature analysis method. The parameters affecting yield curvature of high-strength concrete shear wall are studied by using the yield curvature formula. The results show that longitudinal reinforcement yield strain is the most vital factor of the yield curvature in addition to axial load ratio. When axial load ratio is larger, both wing walls of shear wall section have larger impact. The yield curvature formula is presented, considering the impact of axial load ratio, boundary reinforcement yield stress and both ends of wing walls of shear wall section based on the regression analysis of calculation results. On this basis, the vertex yield displacement formula of high-strength concrete shear wall is proposed, and the calculation results of formula correspond well to the vertex yield displacement experimental values of the 12 high-strength concrete cantilever wall. The formula is also suited for the vertex yield displacement of comment concrete shear wall.
