Reliable joint connection is key to designing prefabricated structures. To study the mechanical properties of the vertical joints in the designed prefabricated underground silo steel plate concrete composite wall and verify their reliability, flexural and compressive experiments were conducted using two groups of six full-scale steel plate concrete composite wall specimens; the mechanical properties between jointed and jointless specimens were compared and analyzed. The experimental results indicate that all specimens are in the elastic stage during the entire loading process; further, they exhibit large stiffness and high bearing capacity without damages. Thus, the designed vertical joints of the steel plate concrete composite wall provide a reliable connection that is safe and applicable. Further, the flexural and compressive properties of jointed and jointless specimens were found to be similar; the newly designed prefabricated underground silo steel plate concrete composite wall could be designed using the “equivalent principle” that the combined wall design calculation with the joint could be equivalent to that without the joint.

PurposeReinforcement of reinforced concrete (RC) beams in-service have always been an important research field, anchoring steel plate in the bottom of the beams is a kind of common reinforcement methods. In actual engineering, the contribution of pavement layer to the bearing capacity of RC beams is often ignored, which underestimates the bearing capacity and stiffness of RC beams to a certain extent. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of pavement layer on the RC beams before and after reinforcement.Design/methodology/approachFirst, static load experiments are carried out on three in-service RC hollow slab beams, meanwhile, nonlinear finite element models are built to study the bearing capacity of them. The nonlinear material and shear slip effect of studs are considered in the models. Second, the finite element models are verified, and the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Last, the finite element models are adopted to carry out the research on the influence of different steel plate thicknesses on the flexural bearing capacity and ductility.FindingsThe experimental results showed that pavement layers increase the flexural capacity of hollow slab beams by 16.7%, and contribute to increasing stiffness. Ductility ratio of SPRCB3 and PRCB2 was 30% and 24% lower than that of RCB1, respectively. The results showed that when the steel plate thickness was 1 mm–6 mm, the bearing capacity of the hollow slab beam increased gradually from 2158.0 kN.m to 2656.6 kN.m. As the steel plate thickness continuously increased to 8 mm, the ultimate bearing capacity increased to 2681.0 kN.m. The increased thickness did not cause difference to the bearing capacity, because of concrete crushing at the upper edge.Originality/valueIn this paper, based on the experimental study, the bearing capacity of hollow beam strengthened by steel plate with different thickness is extrapolated by finite element simulation, and its influence on ductility is discussed. This method not only guarantees the accuracy of the bearing capacity evaluation, but also does not require a large number of samples, and has certain economy. The research results provide a basis for the reinforcement design of similar bridges.

In order to strengthen the co-work performance between the steel plate and concrete, the anchorage construction of arrayed studs were welded on both sides of the plate according to a super high-rise building in Beijing. Eighteen specimens of embedded steel plate concrete shear walls with arrayed studs were tested by pushing out under monotonic loading in this paper. Some parameters, such as the thickness of the concrete wall, the thickness of steel plate, the diameter, the length and the amount of the studs and the rate of reinforcement for distributing bars in the walls were considered. The shear bearing capacity, load-slip relationship, strains of the steel plate and studs, mechanical properties and failure mode were analyzed. The effect of stud layout on the coordinate work of the concrete plate was studied. Results show that the shear bearing capacity is obviously improved by using smaller diameter studs or decreasing the distance between studs when the total area of studs is kept unchanged. The thickness of the steel plate has almost no effect on the shear bearing capacity. The ratio of the length to the diameter of the studs should be not less than 4. A simplified mechanics calculated method to estimate the shear bearing capacity of this kind of shear wall was put forward. And the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

The dynamic behavior of a PPSRC beam–column joint is related to constraint effect, strength deterioration and strain rate effect. Then, it can be assessed by bearing capacity, stiffness degradation, displacement ductility and energy consumption. The results show that the increased strain rate causes growth in ring stiffness, bearing capacity and energy consumption of PPSRC beam–column joints. However, the influence of shear span-to-depth ratio on dynamic mechanical properties of PPSRC beam–column joints is more obvious than that of strain rate. Regardless of strain rate, the bearing capacity, initial stiffness, ring stiffness and energy consumption of PPSRC beam–column joints decrease as the shear span-to-depth ratio increases. Moreover, the ring stiffness under reverse direction is smaller than that the under forward direction at each displacement level. However, the stiffness degradation under a lower shear span-to-depth ratio is more obvious than that under a higher shear span-to-depth ratio. Moreover, the displacement ductility with a higher shear span-to-depth ratio is better than that with a lower shear span-to-depth ratio. Finally, the mechanical properties of PPSRC beam–column joints are affected by the extension length of partial steel plate, and the reasonable extension length of the partial steel plate in the column is affected by the shear span-to-depth ratio.

This paper proposes a novel multi-cavity steel–concrete composite floor. The mechanical properties of multi-cavity steel–concrete composite floor were studied by static load test. Based on full-scale tests on 2500 × 1000 × 120 mm multi-cavity steel–concrete composite floors, the bearing capacity and failure characteristics of the composite floor were analyzed. Compared with the existing prefabricated floor, the reliability of the test was verified by finite element simulation. The influence of steel plate material thickness, floor thickness, cavity size and span on the mechanical properties of composite floor was analyzed. The results showed that the composite floor had stronger bearing capacity and better ductility and integrity than the existing precast floor. The bearing capacity and stiffness of composite floor were positively correlated with the thickness of steel plate and floor, and negatively correlated with the cavity size and span.

This paper investigates the influence of an opening in the infill steel plate on the behavior of steel trapezoidal corrugated infill panels. Two specimens of steel trapezoidal corrugated shear walls were constructed and tested under cyclic loading. One specimen had a single rectangular opening, while the other one had two rectangular openings. In addition, the percentage of opening in both specimens was 18%. The initial stiffness, ultimate strength, ductility ratio and energy dissipation capacity of the two tested specimens are compared to a specimen without opening. The experimental results indicate that the existence of an opening has the greatest effect on the initial stiffness of the corrugated steel infill panels. In addition, the experimental results reveal that the structural performance of the specimen with two openings is improved in some areas compared to the specimen with one opening. To that end, the energy dissipation capacity of the specimen with two openings is obtained larger than the specimen with one opening. Furthermore, a number of numerical analyses were performed. The numerical results show that with increasing the thickness of the infill plate or using stiffeners around the opening, the ultimate strength of a corrugated steel infill panel with an opening can be equal to or even more than the ultimate strength of that panel without an opening.
