Experimental Analysis of Bearing Capacity of Triangle Hollow Flange Beam

On the basis of Hollow Flange Beam (HFB) which is proposed by Australian researchers, a new pattern triangle hollow flange beam (THFB) is presented. According to the experimental test and finite element simulation, the failure processes of THFB and traditional I-beam under concentrated load are compared, and then the obvious differences between the failure modes of these two type beams are founded. The local buckling is easily occurred for the THFB, while overall instability is easily occurred for traditional I-beam, and THFB possesses have better bending performance and twist resistance than those of traditional I-beam. with the experiments, finite element analysis is carried out by FE software ANSYS, and the FE results agree with the test results. Based on FE models, the parameter analysis is carried out for THFB. The parameters mainly include the thickness of top flange, the width of top flange, the thickness of web and the yield strength of steel. The change rule of the bearing capacity of THFB with different parameters can be achieved by parameter analysis. Finally, based on the above results, the applicability of the calculation formula of Eurocode3 to compute the bearing capacity of THFB is discussed. The results show that it is safe and reliable to adopt the calculation formula of Eurocode3 to compute the bearing capacity of THFB, Whilst the estimation is relatively conservative.     

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 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. Tests were divided into three groups, including one monotonic loading test and two cyclic tests. Lateral load-bearing capacity, stiffness and hysteretic behavior of the steel bracing Bound-Column were obtained by the comparison of test results and the finite element method. 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.     

Research on the influence of structure integral performance to the RC frame structure failure mode(Ⅰ): Numerical analysis

Three models of 3D cast-in-place RC frame structures are simulated in ABAQUS. In the three models, one represents the actual RC frame structure with monolithic slab, one represents the open frame structure used in structural design currently, which means truss structure at the stage of calculating internal forces of frame beams and columns, and the third one represents the open frame structure which takes into account some slab reinforcement in the rectangle section of frame beam to consider the slab participation in the flexural capacity of frame beam. By investigating the failure mode of these three models, the development of plastic hinges, the reinforcement stress of beam, column and slab in the models, the influence of monolithic slab to the bending resistance of beam end is studied. It shows that the existence of slab makes the failure mode of actual RC frame structure different from the design criteria of strong column weak beam. It also indicates that the slab participation in the bending resistance of beam end is not only expressed in the slab reinforcement but also in the structure integral performance. Besides, when using the effective flange width to consider the slab reinforcement participation, the structure integral performance, lateral displacement and other relevant factors should be taken into account.     

Experimental Research on the Behavior of Direct Anchoring Beam-wider-than-wall Joint

Based on the elastic finite element analysis of the RC beam-wider-than-wall joint, two large-scale specimens of the direct anchoring beam-wider-than-wall joint are designed to test the joint behavior. The stresses and slips of longitudinal bars in the beam, load-bearing capacity and destruction form are observed and analyzed. The analysis and test results show that: The wide beam should be extended through into the wall for some length to make the flexural stress uniform along beam section width, thus the beam's bearing capacity can be achieved. The anchorage condition of the upper longitudinal bar in the beam outside the wall's width is poor, thus the anchorage length prescribed in the current CODE is not enough to ensure the bearing capacity and ductility of joints. The beam stirrups are very important to the anchorage of the upper longitudinal bar in the beam outside the wall's width. If the quantity of the beam stirrups is not enough, the wide beam in the joint area would have more cracks which decrease the bearing capacity and ductility of joints. Finally, a novel spatial truss mechanism model for the beam-wider-than-wall joint is put forward.     

Strain rate effects on dynamic behavior of reinforcement concrete columns with various reinforcement ratio

The mechnical characteristics of concrete is sensitive to the strain rate and it is crucial to consider the effect of load rates on the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to dynamic loads such as severe earthquakes. In this study, numerical simulations on the dynamic behavior of typical RC column specimens under dynamic loadings with different load rates were performed. Concrete constitutive model considering the strain rate effects proposed by the CEB code was employed with a fiber model to characterize the nonlinear strain rate dependent behavior of RC columns. The developed dynamic fiber element model was validated by comparing the simulated results of four RC column specimens with the fast loading test results. Results show that the developed fiber element model can predict the behavior of RC columns with acceptable accuracy. After valiating the proposed fiber elemen model considering the strain rate effect, the load carrying capacity of different RC columns with various longitudinal reinforcement ratios and volumetric stirrup ratios were simulated. Results show that the trends of the influences of longitudinal reinforcement ratios and volumetric stirrup ratios on the load carrying capacity of the RC columns under dynamic loadings are different.

Experimental and Parametric Analysis of the Flexural Behavior of HRBF RC Beams

In order to investigate the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with high strength hot rolled bars of fine grains, static bending test on four rectangle cross section HRBF400, HRBF500 RC beams was conducted. The results show that the experimental maximum crack width under short term load meets the requirement of current code while calculated value does not meet; mid span deflection of RC beams with HRBF400 under short term load still meets the requirement of current code while RC beams with HRBF500 does not meet. Bearing capacity calculating formula under conditions of crack/deflection control was proposed and conception of component's bearing capacity utilization coefficient (BCUC) was put forward. The influences of reinforcement strength, reinforcement diameter, concrete grade, reinforcement ratio, concrete cover thickness and high span ratio on BCUC were analyzed. Within the range of economic reinforcement ratio, ductility of HRBF RC beams meets the requirement. Energy dissipation capacity of HRBF RC beams is similar to that of normal RC beams at low reinforcement ratio but it decreases faster than normal RC beams with the increasing of reinforcement ratio. Energy dissipation capacity of HRBF RC beams is higher than that of normal RC concrete beams in elastic stage and it enhances with the increasing of reinforcement ratio.

According to test results of two different angle specimens of local transfer RC joint from inclined column to Beeline-shaped short shear wall under vertical static loads and results of corresponding finite element analysis(ANSYS), fundamental behaviors of the joint are achieved for the change of the angle.The result indicates that there is much difference in the stress distributions of the transfer beam and short shear wall for different angles of inclined column, which shows that the larger angle, the more great tensile force and the earlier crack in the transfer beam and the lower capacity. Otherwise, the angle is smaller, the evener stress distributions in short shear wall, the later crack, the worse degenerate in the transfer beam and the higher capacity.Furthermore, the mechanical behaviors of the joint obviously followed the characteristics of a truss model.

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.

The analysis results of this paper can offer some references to the engineering application of this new type of anchor in the future.
