The axial compressive behaviour of an innovative type of square concrete filled steel tube (CFST) column to reinforced concrete (RC) beam joint was experimentally investigated in this paper. The innovative joint was designed such that (i) the steel tubes of the CFST columns were completely interrupted in the joint region, (ii) the longitudinal reinforcements from the RC beams could easily pass through the joint area and (iii) a reinforcement cage, including a series of reinforcement meshes and radial stirrups, was arranged in the joint area to strengthen the mechanical performance of the joint. A two-stage experimental study was conducted to investigate the behaviour of the innovative joint under axial compression loads, where the first stage of the tests included three full-scale innovative joint specimens subjected to axial compression to assess the feasibility of the joint detailing and propose measures to further improve its axial compressive behaviour, and the second stage of the tests involved 14 innovative joint specimens with the improved detailing to study the effect of the geometric size of the joint, concrete strength and volume ratio of the steel meshes on the bearing strengths of the joints. It was generally found from the experiments that (i) the innovative joint is capable of achieving the design criterion of the ‘strong joint-weak member’ with appropriate designs, and (ii) by decreasing the height factor and increasing the volume ratio of the steel meshes, the axial compressive strengths of the joints significantly increased, while the increase of the length factor is advantageous but limited to the resistances of the joint specimens. Because of the lack of existing design methods for the innovative joints, new design expressions were proposed to calculate the axial compression resistances of the innovative joints subjected to bearing loads, with the local compression effect, the confinement effect provided by the multi-layers of steel meshes and the height effect of concrete considered. It was found that the proposed design methods were capable of providing accurate and safe resistance predictions for the innovative joints.

RESUMO: O setor da construção civil vem absorvendo resíduos e transformando-os em componentes para utilização nas construções, especialmente através da incorporação em materiais como argamassas e concretos. Com o crescente número de veículos automotivos, ocorreu um aumento na produção de pneus e, consequentemente, de seus resíduos. Portanto, o presente estudo tem o objetivo de avaliar o melhor teor de substituição de agregado miúdo por resíduo de borracha em argamassa de cimento e cal, a partir da comparação com uma argamassa de referência, analisando o comportamento físico e mecânico. Para verificar a melhor relação de substituição, os ensaios foram realizados em argamassa referência (traço 1:2:9) e em argamassas com resíduos nas proporções de 2,5%, 5%, 10% e 15% de substituição de areia por borracha. Para caracterização das argamassas foram realizados ensaios de índice de consistência, resistência à compressão axial, resistência à tração por compressão diametral, absorção por capilaridade e absorção por imersão. Os resultados indicam que nas argamassas com resíduo ocorreu um aumento na relação a/c para se manter a trabalhabilidade e um decréscimo nas resistências. Além de, uma diminuição na absorção por capilaridade e um aumento na absorção por imersão. Apesar de provocar mudanças no comportamento da argamassa, aponta-se o uso desse resíduo como alternativa viável, tanto ambiental quanto de desempenho.ABSTRACT: The construction industry has been absorbing and transforming them into components for use in construction, especially through the incorporation of materials such as mortars and concretes. With the increasing number of automotive vehicles, there has been an increase in the production of tires and, consequently, of their waste. Therefore, the present study has the objective of evaluating the best content of substitution of small aggregate by rubber residue in cement and lime mortar, from the comparison with a reference mortar, analyzing the physical and mechanical behavior. To verify the best substitution ratio, the tests were performed in reference mortar (trace 1:2:9) and mortar with residuals in the proportions of 2.5%, 5%, 10% and 15% of Sand for rubber. To characterize the mortars, tests of consistency index, axial compression strength, tensile strength by diametrical compression, capillary absorption and immersion absorption were performed. The results indicate that in the mortars with residue an increase in the w/c ratio was observed to maintain the workability and a decrease in the resistances. In addition to, a decrease in capillary absorption and an increase in absorption by immersion. Although it causes changes in mortar behavior, the use of this residue is indicated as a viable alternative, both environmental and performance.
