This paper presents a new-type of fabricated beam-column connections with end plates. The joint details are as follows: the concrete beams are connected to column by end plates and six high strength long bolts passing through the core area. In addition, in order to increase the stiffness and shear strength, stirrups are replaced by the steel plate hoop in the core zone. To examine the fail behavior of the fabricated beam-column connection specimens, a quasi-static test is conducted for nine full-scale models to obtain the hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, and other seismic indicators. The experimental results show that all specimens failed in bending in a malleable way with a beam plastic hinge and the hysteresis curves are excellently plump for the end plate connections. From the seismic indexes, the fabricated connection specimens exhibit better seismic performance, which can provide reference for the application of prefabricated frame structure in the earthquake area.

In order to investigate the seismic damage and performance of steel reinforced ultra high strength concrete composite joint subjected to reversal cycle load, six interior strong-column-weak-beam joint specimens were tested with various axial load ratio and volumetric stirrup ratio. A discussion on the crack mode and ductility was presented. It was found that all joint specimens failed in bending with a beam plastic hinge in a ductile manner, with crack propagation different from the weak-column-strong-beam joint. The experimental results indicated that test parameters of the steel reinforced ultra high strength concrete composite joint with good seismic performance may be referred for engineering application.

Abstract. Connection joint with penetrated diaphragm, which is better for the stressing state of the welding connection, is a new type joint for the beam and column connection. Static test and pseudo-static test are put to 17 crossing joints. The stress distribution of the steel beam and the penetrated diaphragm are discussed. The experiment shows that the penetrated diaphragm transfer most tension force of the steel beam’s upper flange to the core region of the joint, which could effectively decrease the stress and strain gradient within the connection area of the steel beam’s upper flange and steel tube column. As the result, the shear force of the core region is decreased. The front weld is avoided being surfing great tension. The ductility of the joint and the energy dissipation capacity of the structure are then increased. The type and the size of the penetrated diaphragm show great affection to the stress distribution of steel beam and penetrated diaphragm. The study achievement enriches the joint connection type of the composite structure with concrete- filled steel tube.

Insulation pull rods are commonly used tools and instruments in the replacement of insulators for live work. Traditional hard insulated pull rods are difficult to transport and assemble due to their large deflection, especially due to the long and heavy weight of insulated pull rods used in UHV live operations, the difficulties in the above links are more obvious. In view of the existing problems in the use of the existing insulated pull rods, by studying the overall processing type, the soft pull rod weaving process, the technology of tightly combining the core rod and the protective cover, the technology of connecting the core rod and the metal, etc., a new type suitable for live transmission lines has been developed. Large-tonnage soft insulated pull rod for operation. Effectively solve a series of problems caused by the large deflection of the hard insulated pull rod.

In order to investigate the crack pattern and ductility of connection composed of cross shaped steel encased ultra high strength concrete (CSSEUHSC) columns and steel encased concrete (SEC) beams under cycle loads, six interior connection specimens were tested in the laboratory. It was found that cracks appeared in the connection core regions and at the beam end for all specimens, and all the connections behaved in a ductile manner and failed in bending with a beam plastic hinge and shearing in the connection core region. The experimental results indicated that test parameters of connection composed of CSSEUHSC columns and SEC beams with good crack resistance performance may be referred for engineering application.

In high-rise concrete structures, the elevator or stairs which located in the middle of the building are always put into the RC core walls. It not only meets the requirements of the function of usage, but also makes the core walls bear most of the lateral force and becomes the main component in the whole structure that resists the lateral force. Therefore, the seismic performance of RC core walls is of great concern to engineering. At present, there is little experimental study on measures of improving the seismic performance of RC core walls. In this paper, firstly, a new type of construction measure is put forward to improve its seismic performance. Secondly, through the experimental study on one 1/6 scale core walls with concealed bracings and one 1/6 scale normal core walls under the low cyclic loading, the effect of concealed bracings on bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility, hysteresis, failure phenomena and energy dissipation of concealed bracings are discussed. The experiment shows that the seismic performance of RC core walls with concealed bracings is improved remarkably.

Using the high-strength bolted connection, it is possible to control the quality of the joint and improve the construction of the structure. By setting the energy absorption mechanism on the structure and enhancing the damping effect, it makes it possible to scale back the influence of the earthquake. Based on the statement above, a new type of beam column joint (L-type Diaphragm) was developed and tests and analysis were conducted to validate the performance of this joint and the energy absorption characteristics at the end of the beam were surveyed. The stress transfer mechanism of the joint was investigated in the shaking table test of the actual size frame structure with this joint. As a result, it was found effective and a higher reliability.

The main function of pier is to transmit the load from superstructure to foundation reliably. Under earthquake action, the main failure reason of bridge is the damage of bridge pier. The application of some high-performance materials is helpful to improve the seismic performance of bridge piers. Based on seismic vulnerability analysis, this paper studies the feasibility of using engineered cementitious composite (ECC) and high-strength bars in bridge piers. Taking a rigid pier as an example, a nonlinear numerical model is established by OpenSees software. The reasonable replacement height of ECC in plastic hinge regions, stirrup ratio of pier section, and replacement rate of high-strength bars are obtained through the seismic performance analysis of the pier. Then, seismic vulnerability of rigid pier with ECC and high-strength bars is analyzed. The results show that it is feasible to improve the seismic performance of the piers by using ECC and high-strength bars. Considering the economic rationality, the replacement height of ECC in plastic hinge regions can be determined according to the curvature change point. For the rigid pier, the economical and reasonable volume stirrup ratio is 0.78%. The ultimate curvature of RC/ECC pier bottom increases by 12.4% when the longitudinal bars of the pier are replaced by high-strength bars, and the energy dissipation capacity increases by 22.5% on average. Compared with the pier’s original design, the exceedance probability of each limit state of the rigid pier with ECC and high-strength bars is significantly reduced. Its seismic performance is superior, and the risk of seismic damage is significantly reduced.
