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.     

The Effect of Axial Compression on the Prestressed Concrete Frame under Vertical load

For prestressed frames, the axial compression ratio will affect not only the ductility of structures but also the structural internal force.Based on the computer-calculation for four groups of 24 prestressed frames combined with the references, in this paper, the effects of axial compression ratio on the prestressed frames are studied and discussed through three aspects: the second-order effect, the axial deformation of frame-columns and the comparison with ordinary concrete frames.The study results show that the effects of axial compression ratio on the prestressed frames and the ordinary concrete frames are basically consistent, but there are some self-born characteristics.As a whole, the effect of axial compression ratio on the prestressed frames is more notable than that on the ordinary concrete frames, but under common situation the effect is small.     

Analysis of Hysteretic Performance of C-section Specimens of Cold-formed Steel

Seven specimens were loaded with axial force and horizontal cycle force to analyze the hysteretic performance and the influencing factor as well. The influence of axial compression ratio and aspect ratio on the hysteretic performance was investigated, including the buckling behaviors and the energy dissipation. And the positive role of combined effects on the hysteretic performance of cold-formed specimens was studied emphatically. The experiment reveals that a large axial compression ratio incurs a serious decrease on hysteretic performance, while the combined effects give an increase on it. In addition, the numerical mode is set up. Considering double nonlinearity, the results of experiment and simulation match each other well. Based on the data, it is obtained that local buckling plays a great negative role during the loading course. At last, the characteristics of hysteretic performance of cold-formed steel specimens are concluded and some suggestions are given.     

Experimental Analysis of Fire Resistant Performance of Concrete Frame with Damage Caused by Weak Earthquake

Two monolayer concrete frames with the same reinforcement, KJ1 and KJ2, were designed. KJ1 was designed to simulate low cyclic reversed loading test under weak earthquake. Besides, the fire response test, including temperature rising and lowing, was made by fixing the axial compression ratio of the column. For KJ2, the fire response test at the fixed axial compression ratio was made. The deformation response of the concrete frames in fire was studied. Comparative analysis of the apparent phenomenon, temperature curves, bearing capacity change of the frames were made based on the test results of KJ1 and KJ2. According to the simplified temperature distribution, the ultimate bearing capacity of the column under the high temperature was preliminarily determined. It is illustrated that the calculation results and finally test phenomenon are consistent according to the simplified section.     

Experimental Analysis on Beam-column Behavior of Steel-concrete Composite Pylon

Ten specimens with perforated ribs, which can be divided into two series, were made to observe the behavior of steel-concrete composite pylon under axial load and cyclic load respectively. The experiment reveals the ultimate capacity and failure mode of two types of specimens under the cyclic load with different actual axial load level. Furthermore, it can be concluded from the results that the failure mode can be divided into two types, that is compression failure and tension failure. And the behavior of those specimens under cyclic load is influenced significantly under high axial load or without axial load at all. In addition, perforated ribs will prevent the plates under compression from overall buckling effectively based on the observation that the wavelength of plate is limited between two neighboring perforated ribs. At last, comparison on the interaction behaviors of the axial load (N) versus moment (M) is made between the results of experiment and calculation according to the criteria.     

Closed-form Analytical Solution for Beam on Elastic Foundation with Different Tension and Compression Modulus

On the basis of the theory of different modulus, the closed-form analytical solution for beams on elastic foundations with different modulus has been derived. A comparison is made between the results of the analytical solution and those calculated from the classic mechanic theories, in which the tension modulus are equal to the compression modulus. It is shown from the numerical results that the ratio of compressive modulus to tensile modulus will greatly affect the elastic characteristic values,internal forces and flexibilities. The present theory satisfies the mechanical behavior of materials. The amount of materials can be economized through rational design by using the elastic theory of different modulus.

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.

The finite element model involving geometric large deformation,materials and contact nonlinearity is established.Specimens of cold-formed steel quadruple-C built-up section members are simulated and the finite element models are proved to be valid.Then,numerical analysis on the behavior of specimens with different slenderness ratio and flange flakiness ratio are carried out,and then the axial bearing capacities of specimens are obtained.Based on effective width method and direct strength method (DSM) in related codes,two design methods of cold-formed steel quadruple-C built-up section members under axial compression are proposed:effective length method and correction factor method.It is shown that:the final failure characteristics of all specimens are local buckling and distortional buckling.In the case of not considering the reduction of effective length,the results calculated by each code are slightly lower than those of test and FEM when the slenderness ratio is less than 50,while the results are too conservative when the slenderness ratio is more than 50.
