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. And the design seismic shear strength formula of concrete hollow block masonry, which has reliability guarantee, was deduced. Compared with current Chinese codes, the design seismic shear strength formula of concrete hollow block masonry not only can perfectly simulate the shear-friction, shear-compression and diagonal compression failure modes, but also avoid unreasonable and unsafe calculation of seismic shear strength of concrete hollow block masonry, which can be applied to design of tall reinforced concrete masonry structures.

Index of Factors Influencing the Shear Strength of Asphalt Mixtures

Asphalt mixtures with high shear strength have great capability to resist perpetual deformation under high temperatures. We used a single penetration test to analyze the material design indexes for high performance asphalt mixtures. The test results show that the performance of the asphalt binder and the performance of the coarse aggregate, especially the fine aggregate, greatly affect the shear strength of asphalt mixtures. We also suggest that the coarse aggregate with a high aggregate particle index, fine aggregate with high angularity, and asphalt with high viscosity can increase sharply the shear strength of an asphalt mixture. Furthermore, the degree of compaction of an asphalt mixture should be controlled to guarantee excellent long term performance of asphalt pavement.

Mechanical Model of Steel Plate Composite Shear Walls

Based on concepts of mechanics, a mechanical model of novel type of steel plate composite shear wall is presented. The novel type of structure is formed by steel plate shear wall and T-shaped solid-web composite columns. Flexural stiffness of steel beams, lateral stiffness of the T-shaped solid-web composite columns, shear stiffness of steel plate composite shear wall and shear stiffness of beam-column connection are taken into account in the mechanical model. And the equivalent damping between steel plate and boundary is considered.

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.

It is shown that the extended method can be is shown used to calculate the load bearing capacity of high strength steel columns at elevated temperature; the magnitude and distribution mode of residual stress had little influence but the geometry imperfection have significant influence on ultimate load bearing capacity.     

Performance Comparison of High Strength Concrete Prepared with Metakoalin and Silica Fume

This paper makes a comparison of high strength concrete prepared with Metakoalin and that prepared with silica fume in terms of their workability, compressive strength , shrinkage and resistance to sulphate attack. The research results indicate that high strength concrete prepared with Metakoalin is better than that prepared with silica fume in terms of workability. When the water to binder ratio is high, concrete prepared with Metakoalin has a greater compressive strength than that prepared with silica fume. In contrast, when the ratio is low, it is the concrete prepared with silica fuma has a higher strenth. Concrete prepared with Metakoalin has a smaller auto -shrinkage and dry-shrinkage than that prepared with silica fume. And concrete prepared with Metakoalin will be just as good as concrete prepared with silica fume in terms of resistance to sulphate attack. It is indicated by the research that Metakoalin has same high activity as silica fume in the preparation of high strength concrete.

In order to probe into the shear resistant behaviors ofsteel reinforced concrete(SRC)restrained beams,three test beams underconcentrated loads have been tested.A full range analysis of the testbeams is conducted by using nonlinear finite element(NLFE)techique,and a good agreement with the experimental results is achieved.Theshear resistant mechanism of SRC restrained beam and the main factorsaffecting its shear strength are analysed.It is found that when theavailable shear strength formula for simply supported SRC beams is usedto calculate the shear strength of SRC restrained beams,the result turnsout to be conservative,so it is suggested that the shear strength of SRCrestrained beam could be calculated by the corresponding formula ofsimply supported SRC beam,adopting calculation shear span ratio.Thepractical formula is proposed in the paper.     

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.

Simulation and analysis of mechanics of coal and gas delay outburst

The buried box girders in the mountain city sewage pipeline system would be turned into simple-supported girders because of the removal of the foundation caused by landslide.This change of supporting would result in the failure risk of pipeline structure.The static properties of the buried box girders with small depth-to-span ratio in simple-supported condition are experimentally analyzed.The failure pattern,shear behavior and shear lag effect of the buried box girders in simple-supported condition are studied.The shortages in the present design codes for the calculation of shear capacities of the box girders are also discussed.It is shown that under the vertical uniformly distributed load,the crack distribution of the box girders is uniform,and no major critical diagonal crack is formed,and the box girders lose the bearing capacity in the form of concrete diagonal rod crushing.As the main shear-bearing components,the stirrups devote much to shear capacity of the box girder after concrete cracking.The strains of the longitudinal rebars are affected by those factors such as the redistribution of internal force and cracks,so only few areas of the box girders show the shear lag effect.The change of supporting form leads to the premature cracking of concrete and affects the serviceability of the sewage pipeline.
