Hysteretic Behavior of Composite Deep Beam Infilled Steel Frame

The Quasi static tests of one steel frame and two the composite deep beams infilled steel frames were carried out. The effects of the deep beams on the load capacity, ductility, hysteretic property and energy dissipation of pure steel structure were analyzed. It is found that the hysteresis curve is a straight line with the constant of the stiffness at the beginning and without residual deformation. And the hysteresis curve of specimen was full after yielding, and the skeleton curves had a clear plastic flow phase with triple linear. The lateral drifts of the beam specimens at failure were 1/25 and 1/22. The composite deep beams enhance the initial stiffness, yield load and maximum load bearing capacity of steel frame. Therefore, seismic performance of the composite deep beams is better.

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.     

Experimental Analysis on Seismic Performance of Steel Bracing Bound-Column Component

The seismic resistant performance and failure mechanism of the steel bracing Bound-Column were analyzed with tests and the finite element method. Two-story steel bracing Bound-Column test specimen was selected. The braces adopt long leg back-back double angle.

Results show that the steel brace of Bound-Column contributes a lot to its load capacity and stiffness, while the external frame provides little lateral rigidity and capacity. Bound-Column failure occurs only in the steel braces, while the external frame is with no damage.

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.

The test load was 1.6 times of design load and by incremental step loading. Meanwhile, stress and deformation in CFSTCN were observed to monitor bearing capacity of the node. 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.

Experimental Investigation and Finite Element Analysis on the Hysteretic Behavior of New Steel Beam-to-Column Connections

By the hysteretic experiments and the finite element analysis of the proof-of-concept connections, the mechanical properties and energy dissipation capacity of the new steel beam-to-column connections are investigated. These connections are semi-rigid ones improved by adding threaded rods into the angle connections and can be designed to limit the structural damage only to the angles and threaded rods. It is found, by the comparative analysis of six connections tested with the same loading sequence, that the performance degradation of the connections may be resulted from the plastic damage, crack propagation of the angles and the buckling and fatigue crack of the rods. The rotation capacity and failure modes of the connections with threaded rods depend on the ability of anti-fatigue crack of the rods, and the better ductility the rods have, the better energy dissipation capacity the connections have. In addition, the hysteretic behavior and the deformation modes of the connections prior to the significant strength degradation or the fracture of the rods could be well simulated by the finite element method. Meanwhile, the stiffening effect from pre-stressing the angles, the plastic distribution of the angles and the degradation induced by the rod buckling were strongly verified by the FEA. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of such new beam-to-column dissipative connections were analyzed, and the proposal for further connection improvement and in-depth study was made.

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. Based on the deformation features of structures and the calculation hypothesis, the lateral stiffness model and the energy dissipation model of structures are developed. Meanwhile, the calculation equations of elastic ultimate and plastic ultimate of shear strength of structures are set up. The theoretical analysis results inosculate better with the results of experiment. The comparison between the result calculated from the formula and the experimental result shows that the calculation precision is high enough to meet the demand of theoretical analysis. The difference, including equivalent model, stress states, manufacturing defect and installation error, between the formula and the experiment has been further discussed.

The Hysteretic Performance Analysis and Experiment on K-type Overlap Joints of Circular Steel-tubes

Joints are the most important parts of the space structure, the load-derormation curve (hysteretic curve) under repeated loading is the comprehensive reflection of their mechanical properties such as ductility, energy dissipation capacity, strength, stiffness and so on. By the simulation experiment analysis and the finite element simulation between the two models of hidden welding and no-welding hidden in K-type node in the chord axial reciprocating load resulted in the failure modes and hysteretic curve, the result of comparative analysis about finite elements is consistent with that of experiment study. The results show that the destroyment at hidden welding seam node is partly, the take-over is broken down at the welds finally. The welding line is destroyed overall when facing the destroyment of no-welding node. The carrying capacity of the hidden welding is obvious. Through the finite element simulation analysis instead of phase through node hysteretic performance test is feasible.

Maximum Displacement Estimation of Seismic Structures Based on Hysteresis Energy

Based on characteristics of hysteretic energy of structures which are simplified single freedom degree systems and under the short duration impulse modle mid duration and long duration modle earthquakes, correlation between the maximum hysteretic energy increment per cycle and the maximum inelastic displacement of different structures is investigated. Simplified equations to estimate the maximum inelastic displacement are obtained. The validity of the equation is recognized. It is pointed out that the impact destroy of the structures may occur when energy increment per cycleis 50 80 percent of total hysteretic energy, and the maximum hysteretic energy increment per cycle, and that the maximum inelastic displacement can be used to evaluate aseismic capacity.If energy increment per cycleis small relative to total hysteretic energy, the destroy of the structures by cumulate dissipation energy may occur, and the total hysteretic energy can be used to evaluate aseismic capacity.
