To study the seismic behavior of RC beam-column joints strengthened with sprayed FRP, five 1 : 2 reduced-scale specimens of joints were tested through quasi-static experiments. The failure modes, hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, strength, deformation, degradation of strength and stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity were studied. Furthermore, the effect of three main influencing factors including the sprayed FRP thickness, strengthened area, and axial compression ratio was analyzed in this paper as well. The results show that sprayed FRP strengthening can improve the seismic behavior of RC beam-column joints effectively. The increase of sprayed FRP thickness can lead to a better seismic performance for the joints. Strengthening area can affect the bearing capacity obviously. Higher axial compression ratio can increase the bearing capacity and initial stiffness, but it can make the deformation capacity and ductility decreased. The study can provide references to further research on the sprayed FRP material for strengthening of RC beam-column joints.

The influence on columns behaviors of slenderness ratio are analyzed, and the influence on columns’ anti-seismic behavior of axial compression ratio, stirrup ratio and steel form are analyzed through the test on bearing capacity and level load of low cycle reverse of steel reinforced high-strength concrete columns. The bearing capacity of the long columns reduces along with the slenderness ratio increasing and augments along with concrete strength increasing. Probability of suddenly destruct increases along with the column slenderness ratio augmenting through the test. In addition, anti-seismic behavior of columns are effected not only axial compression ratio, but also steel form. Axial compression coefficien of the steel reinforced high-strength concrete columns with different steel form may be adjusted, however, the influence of stirrup ratio is very little on anti-seismic behavior of columns.

Joints are the forces cross points of members, and the bearing modes are more complex than other members, especially under earthquake action, so the rationality of joints are directly related to the safe reliability of structure. By the pseudo-static test of 4 concrete-filled square steel tubular column and steel beam joint with outer stiffened ring, this paper discusses the failure characteristics, failure mechanism and seismic behavior of joints under different axial compression ratio. The analysis of the testing results shows: the energy dissipation capacity of joints is much better, the degradation of strength and stiffness are slowly when reached the ultimate strength, and the ductility is also good.

Due to the advantage of saving indoor space, a special-shaped column frame attracted more attention of the engineers and researchers. This paper presented a quasi-static cyclic loading experiment of six specimens of reinforced concrete (RC) L-shaped columns under compression-flexure-shear-torsion combined loadings to investigate the effect in the ratio of torsion to moment (T/M) and axial compression ratio (n) on their seismic performance. The results showed that the failure modes of L-shaped specimens included bending failure, bending-torsion failure, and torsion-shear failure with the hysteretic curves exhibiting S shape. With the increase of T/M ratio, cracks on the flange developed more fully, and the height of plastic hinge decreased and torsion bearing capacity improved. Besides, as the T/M ratio increased the twist ductility increased, while displacement ductility decreased. On the other hand, with a higher axial compression ratio, torsion bearing capacity and bending stiffness were both increased. Moreover, the equivalent viscous damping coefficient of bending and torsion were 0.08~0.28 and 0.13~0.23, respectively. The average inter-story drift ratio met the requirements of the Chinese standard. Finally, two modified models were proposed to predict the progression of damage for the L-shaped column under combined loading including torsion.

The pseudo-static tests were carried out on seven steel reinforced recycled concrete columns. The main parameters of specimens were recycled aggregate replacement ratio, axial compression ratio and volumetric stirrup ratio. The results indicate that the incorporation of recycled aggregate doesnt reduce the horizontal bearing capacity, ductility and the energy dissipation capacity of specimens and has little effect on seismic performance. The seismic performance of steel reinforced recycled concrete column decreases significantly in the high axial compression ratio. The ductility, horizontal bearing capacity and the energy dissipation capacity of the steel reinforced recycled concrete column increase with a rise in the volumetric stirrup ratio. This study provides a reference on the application of the steel reinforced recycled concrete column.

Traditional reinforced concrete columns have demonstrated poor seismic performance especially in corrosive environment as the reinforcement bars experience severe corrosion under such conditions. To overcome the problem of steel corrosion, glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete columns have gained significant attention in recent years. However, the seismic performance of GFRP reinforced concrete column is not well understood yet. One of the main challenges associated with the use of GFRP bars is its brittle behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the mechanical properties and failure modes of GFRP reinforced concrete structures under seismic action. In this research, the seismic behavior of GFRP reinforced concrete columns and conventional columns under different axial compression ratios are analyzed by low-cycle repeated pseudo-static loading tests. As a result, the deformation and the seismic energy dissipation capacity of GFRP reinforced concrete columns are investigated and discussed. Furthermore, the failure mechanism of GFRP bar structure is studied to provide the basis for improving the seismic design method of GFRP reinforced concrete structure and modifying the code for seismic design. In addition, the influence of axial compression ratio on the seismic behavior of full GFRP reinforced concrete columns is investigated. The results of this experiment demonstrate that with the increase of axial compression ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity of GFRP reinforced concrete columns increases, while the deformation and the cumulative energy dissipation capacity decrease.

The cold-formed square steel tubular with light weight has better seismic behavior and is suitable for construction in the area with high seismic fortification intensity. The reliability of joint connection greatly influence the safety reliability of structure, which’s restoring force characteristics under low cyclic loading need to be further researched. The finite element software ANSYS is used to do the research between two welded joints. The results show that : (1)Compared with typical welded joint, the ultimate bearing capacity of improved joint increase much, hysteretic curve is more plump, energy dissipation capacity enhance and stiffness degradation is slow. (2) Axial compression ratio has great influence on hysteretic behavior, bearing capacity and stiffness of common welded joints; however, there is a little effect on improved joint’s bearing capacity and stiffness. (3) After improved, the yield of joint has a longer yield platform, and under the same axial compression ratio condition, its yielding and ultimate load both obviously superior to common welded joints.

Four specially shaped columns with HRB500 reinforcement were tested under low cyclic loading. The hysteretic curve, yield load, ultimate load, displacement ductility and rigidity degradation were compared in order to research the effect of axial compression ratio on ductility and bearing capacity of specially shaped column with HRB500 reinforcement. It is shown that the axial compression ratio has greater influence on ductility and bearing capacity. With the increase of axial compression ratio, the bearing capacity of HRB500 reinforcement concrete specially shaped column can be enhanced while the deformation capacity becomes worse. The hysteretic characteristic of specially shaped columns with HRB500 reinforcement is improved and the stiffness degeneration becomes slow with the decrease of axial compression ratio.
