Computational Model and Influencing Factor Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Walls under Fire

The finite element software ABAQUS is used to calculate the deformation of reinforced concrete walls under fire. The calculated results agree well with previous experimental results. Based on the finite element model, the influences of such parameters as axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, wall thickness, concrete compressive strength, steel reinforcement yield strength, steel reinforcement ratio and concrete protection thickness on deformation and fire resistance of walls are analyzed systematically. It is found that, under the conditions of big axial load level or wall thickness without lateral load and small height-to-thickness ratio, the reverse deflection of reinforced concrete walls in fire is apt to occur. Within the work range of parameters in common use, the fire resistance of walls decreases with the increase of axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, steel reinforcement yield strength or steel reinforcement ratio, and increases with the increase of wall thickness or concrete compressive strength.     

Parameter Analysis of Effects of Axial Load on the Lateral Response of Piles

Based on the small deformation assumption, the equations of the laterally loaded piles influenced by the axial load were established. The effect of axial load on the lateral response of piles was studied with parameter analysis. The analysis shows that internal force and deformation of laterally loaded pile under axial loading is actually closely linked with the values of axial and lateral loads. In general, the high level axial load should be focused on. It is more significant that the effect of axial load on the internal force and lateral deflection of the upper part of flexible piles, while there is little effect on deep of long-thin pile foundation. The effect of axial load on the lateral response of pile is the largest as coefficient form of subgrade reaction increases linearly, while the effect is minimal as coefficient form of subgrade reaction is a constant. Except in case of buckling, the changes of axial load along the pile direction have little influence on the magnitudes of deflection and moment. The assumption that the axial load is constant with depth can meet the requirements of engineering.     

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.

水压力环境中混凝土经历循环荷载后的抗压强度

研究了水压力环境中混凝土在经历循环荷载后的动态压缩强度,分析了水压力和循环次数对混凝土强度的影响。试验应变速率为10^-5/s、10^-4/s、10^-3/s和10^-2/s,水压为0~10 MPa。试验结果表明,在不同水压力下饱和混凝土的强度都随应变速率提高而增加,也随水压力提高呈增加地趋势。在相同水压力下,应变速率越高,混凝土强度提高越显著。饱和混凝土经过循环荷载后,其强度随荷载循环次数的增加呈现出先提高后降低的现象。应变速率越高,混凝土强度最大时所对应的荷载循环次数也相应增加。还构建了饱和混凝土强度与应变速率、水压力的关系,其与试验数据吻合较好。进一步引入了管道孔隙模型,并基于汞压法的原理和孔隙分布特点,考虑混凝土孔隙的微观结构解释了孔隙水对混凝土强度的作用机理。     

Diffusion Behavior of Chloride Ions in Concrete Pipe Piles

Concrete pipe piles, whose internal surface is usually closed and external one is exposed to chloride environment, are widely used in marine environment. Based on Fick second law and the boundary condition of pipe pile, the analytical solution to chloride diffusion equation was deduced with the method of separation of variables. The solution comprises two parts: a stationary solution consisting of Bessel functions, and a transient solution. This is different from the traditional analytical solution that is based on semi-infinite boundary condition. Applying this result to a typical PHC pipe pile, the diffusion of chloride concentration was analyzed. Furthermore, the effects of the ratio of outer radius and inner radius, diffusion coefficient and protective concrete cover thickness on diffusion of chloride concentration were also discussed. When the ratio of outer radius and inner radius equals 1.5, the decay rate of secondary segment of transient solution is 4 times larger than that of the primary part. This example provides a computational basis for the corrosion of steel bar and some reference for durability design of pipe piles as well.     

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.     

Contrast Analysis of the Reinforcement Effect of Pile-Net Composite Foundation

To investigate the effect of consolidation soft soil, three groups of model tests were designed. The first group was PVC pile-net composite foundation, the second was pile-cap-net composite foundation, and the third was PVC and sand pile composite foundation. Butter was coated and plastic membrane was covered on inner side wall of model cast to reduce border effect. The gauges were glued with epoxy on the surface of the model with PVC piles and geogrids to measure the stress of PVC piles and geogrids. Soil pressure cells were installed in the middle of piles and the top of the sand piles, and dial indicators were installed in the middle of road and road shoulder to measure deformations. It is that shown: 1) as for the distribution of the road settlement and the differential settlement, the settlements of the third group are the largest and those of the second group are the least; 2) in terms of the stress ratio of PVC pile and soil, the values of the first group and the third group are similar, while the value of the second group is much larger; 3) the change of geogrid strain is disorderly. There are periodic peaks in the strain of geogrid of pile top and periodic troughs in the soil between the piles. The geogrid strain of the second group measured in the corresponding spot is much larger than those of the other two groups. The results of three groups of tests illustrate that if the condition is permitted, it would be the best to adopt the scheme of pile-cap-net composite foundation, which has better reinforcement effect for soft soil.

Analysis of Fiber Renforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints Model

Due to the large stirrup ratio and reinforcement congest in beam-column joints, the ordinary reinforced concrete beam-column joints take inconvenience to construction. Cracked fiber renforced concrete (FRC) has strong bridge ability and better tensile performance so that it can replace part or all of the stirrups. Based on previous researches on resistance mechanism of reinforced concrete joints, a new model using FRC materials in the core zone of beam-column joints is presented. It is a kind of model in which horizontal shear supported by the diagonal strut mechanism and softening truss mechanism with a certain percentage. The calculation results of the model is compared with the existing test results. It is a bit conservative to specimens with low axial load ratio. However, the results are in line with the specimens with high axial load ratio. Therefore, the results totally demonstrate the rationality of the proposed model in this paper. Meanwhile, according to the proposed model, the shear capacity of beam-column joints can be not only calculated, it also check whether FRC compressive strength in core zone of joints and horizontal stirrup ratio meets design requirements, which has a higher practicability.

Based on the reversed cyclic loading tests of 21 nearly full-size interior joints in completed reinforced concrete frames,the law of bond deterioration of beam bars crossing the joint is tested and analyzed,which is influenced by the axial load ratio,shear-compression ratio,reinforced bar strength,concrete strength and the relative length of beam bars crossing the joint. By the nonlinear fitting method, the formula of the bond stress r between steel crossing interior joints and concrete under different loading step is obtained. According to the loading approach, the propositional formula of the relative length of beam bars crossing the joint hc/d is presented, which is influenced by axial load ratio, shear-compression ratio ,reinforced bar strength and concrete strength.

以竖向荷载和水平地震作用组合下的钢筋混凝土柱和钢柱为对象,研究了失效方程中荷载相关特性对柱承载力抗震可靠性的影响。根据现行《混凝土结构设计规范》和《钢结构设计规范》分析了不同柱弯矩轴力相关曲线的特性。结合多个框架结构实例,对比了柱失效方程中荷载相关曲线与规范考虑情形的异同。实例分析表明:水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下,小偏压RC柱和工字型钢柱的荷载相关曲线与规范考虑的情形较为符合,均近似为负相关的直线;水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下,大偏压RC柱的荷载相关曲线则与规范考虑的情形有较大出入,存在明显的正相关段部分。在此基础上,考虑失效方程复杂特性,依据已有的荷载和抗力变量概率模型,采用Monte Carlo法分析了水平地震和竖向荷载组合作用下柱的可靠性。结果表明:钢柱和小偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度随轴压力荷载效应比值的变化幅度较小,与规范模式计算结果较接近;大偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度随轴压力荷载效应比值的变化会有较大幅度波动,与规范模式计算结果差异较大;当轴压力荷载效应比值为负时,大偏压RC柱的承载力抗震可靠度会低于规范计算值较多,现行柱可靠性设计方法会偏于不安全。     

Analysis of Load-bearing Characteristics of Concrete Pile Composite Foundation

Some conclusions were drawn from two groups of in-site tests on concrete pile composite foundations. In the tests, it was found that the pressure under the rigid loading slab is different, in which the pressure under the center of the slab is the less and under the edge of the slab is the biggest. The pile-soil stress ratio is not a constant; it increases with the adding of the load. Most of the pile-soil ratio vary from 9 to 13 in these tests and the load that the piles share can be more than seventy percent of the whole load. It was proved that the bearing capacity of the concrete pile composite foundation is high with a little settlement, so it will be used more and more in the future.     

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.     

Axial Force in Restrained RC Columns during Heating and Cooling Phases

Using the computer program of SAFIR, the influences of some parameters (i.e., axial/rotational restraint ratio, sectional dimension, load ratio, load eccentricity ratio, reinforcement ratio, and heating time, etc.) were analyzed on axial forces in restrained concrete columns exposed to ISO834 standard fire with cooling phase, compared with those in the standard fire without cooling phase.Based on the simulation results of 2880 cases, a practical calculation method for axial force in column was proposed.It was shown that: (a) for axially and rotationally restrained columns in fire with or without cooling phase, the enhancement coefficient of axial force increased gradually first, and then reduced gently or kept constant, and finally decreased quickly.However, in the late stage, the enhancement coefficient corresponding to fire without cooling phase dropped more significant than that with cooling phase; and (b) the influences of the rotational restraint ratio, column length and thickness of concrete cover on the enhancement coefficient of axial force in axially and rotationally restrained columns were limited subjected to fire with cooling phase, while the peak value of the enhancement coefficient increased with the increase of the axial restraint ratio, load eccentricity ratio and reinforcement ratio or with the decrease of the load ratio and sectional dimension.
