Experimental study on seismic behavior of beam-column sandwich joints with big beam-column eccentricity

Three specimens of sandwich joints with eccentricity being larger than a quarter of the column width in middle floor of frame are designed and loaded under cyclic loading. Their shear capacity, failure modes, and ductility, as well as energy dissipation are analyzed. The results show that the performance of sandwich joints with big eccentricity is good under cyclic loading. X-type reinforcements can be used to substitute for stirrups in the joint to bear shear forces. But the anchorage of longitudinal bars of beams in eccentric sandwich joints is relatively weak. Comparing to sandwich joints without eccentricity, the column longitudinal bars near the sandwich joints with big eccentricity are vulnerable to sudden change of strain.     

Design Method of Reinforced Concrete Sandwich Beam column Joints

The experimental results of reinforced concrete sandwich beam column joints were studied intensively and finite element method simulation of such joints were performed for the sake of design method.Basic design criterion and computation contents were provided according to failure mode of specimens and other experimental results.And the limits of parameters were proposed based on the analysis of seismic behavior influence factors and comparison of traditional joints and sandwich joints.Hence, formulas of load resistant capacity were acquired by the results of load resistant capacity of specimens and nonlinear finite element method simulation.It is found that three measures should be taken for sandwich joints in order to reach demanded ductility and load resistant capability.Firstly, several parameters should be limited, including shear compression ratio, axial load ratio, ratio of beam concrete strength to column concrete strength, and minimal amount of transverse reinforcement of joint.Secondly, shear load resistant capacity and axial compressive load resistant capacity should be computed to ensure load resistant capability of joint, and essential strengthen measures could be applied if necessary.Thirdly, appropriate construction details should be taken to avoid reducing of beam bar anchorage capacity.     

Seismic Load Tests on Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Sandwich Joints with High Shear Stress

Seven reinforced concrete Beam-Column sandwich joint specimens were tested under cyclic load. The performances of these specimens consisting of loads resistance, deflection, ductility, displacement, energy dissipation could satisfy the requirement of structures for seismic design. The phenomena that concrete in joint region was crushed by axial load or eccentric load were never observed,and final failure for a multitude of specimens occurred by shear force. Though a few of performances such as beam bar anchorage capacity were not as well as those of traditional joints ,it is feasible for sandwich joints used while establishing structures.

"Strong column with weak beam","strong beam with weak column" and"column & beam with equal strength"can be existed in one-storey prestressed concrete frames and the top storey of mult-storey prestressed concrete frames.Through the test of four prestressed concrete frames under vertical load,three kinds of prestressed concrete frames performances are studied,such as ultimate load,deflection,displacement ductility,redistribution of internal force.When the relative height of equivalent compression zone is smaller enough,the test proves that three kinds of prestressed concrete frames can realize full redistribution of internal force and have better displacement ductility,the width of cracks and deflections can satisfy the rules of code for design of concrete structures.     

Experimental Analysis of Extension Length of Shape Steel in SRC-RC Transfer Column

Seismic performance of SRC-RC transfer column was analyzed based on experiment of 12 specimens of transfer columns and 1 RC specimen under low cyclic reversed loading, which mainly focused on the extension length of shape steel. Analysis and comparison on skeleton curves of specimens was carried out. Analysis was completed for ductility, bearing capacity, energy dissipation capacity and degeneration ratio of strength. Displacement ductility changes with the increase of extension length of shape steel, enhancing at first, then reducing, and reaching peak value when extension length is close to three fifths of column height. Extension length of shape steel has little effect on bearing capacity. Energy dissipation capacity of transfer columns has relationship with many factors. Three fifths of column height is rational for extension length of shape steel, and specimens have not only advanced performance of energy dissipation but also good stability of stiffness and strength in this condition. The bond performance between concrete and shape steel decreases with the increment of extension length of shape steel, and hence stability of strength decreases.     

Experimental Analysis on Axial Compressive Behavior of R- CFTStub Columns with Prestressed Binding Bars

In order to investigate the effect of prestressed binding bars on axial compressive behavior of rectangular concrete-filled tubular (CFT) short columns, five rectangular CFT short columns, three with prestressed binding bars, one with ordinary binding bars, the other with no binding bars, were constructed and tested under axial compressive loads. The binding bars were made up with high-strength bolts. As used for ordinary binding bars, the high-strength bolts were welded to the steel tube before the column was loaded to axial compressive force. As used for prestressed binding bars, the high-strength bolts were first tensed by screwed screw cap down to bring force to prestress the steel tube and its core concrete, then welded to the steel tube before the column was loaded to axial compressive force. Test results indicate that the bearing capacity and ductility of rectangular CFT short columns are increased by setting binding bars. Compared to ordinary binding bars, the prestressed binding bars can decrease the longitudinal displacements corresponding to ultimate strength, but have little effect on the ultimate strength and displacement capacity after ultimate strength of the columns. The longitudinal displacements corresponding to ultimate strength of the columns decrease with the decreasing of space between binding bars. With the same section width and amount of binding bars, the bearing capacity of the columns improves with the increase of section long-broad-ratio, while displacement capacity after ultimate strength decreases with the increase of section long-broad-ratio.
