The mechanical characteristics of recycled large aggregate concrete show poorer performance than that of Portland-cement concrete due to the internal defects of recycled large aggregate (RLA). To improve the mechanical characteristics of recycled large particle size aggregate concrete, the recycled large aggregate Self-Compacting Concrete filled steel tube (RLA-SCCFST) is proposed. The external steel tube can not only keep the core recycled large aggregate concrete in the three-dimensional state of stress, but also prevent the crack expansion of the core recycled large aggregate concrete. RLA-SCCFST subjected to compression is studied experimentally. The compression failure tests use 20 specimens of circular section short column with different steel content rate, particle size of RLA, strength of RLA, strength of SCC, and eccentricity of the load. The influence of different factors on mechanical characteristics of RLA-SCCFST short cylindrical components subjected to compression is analyzed. The results indicate that the load-bearing performance of RLA-SCCFST short columns increases following with the augmentation of RLA particle size, strength of RLA particle size, strength of SCC and steel content rate. The load-bearing performance of RLA-SCCFST short columns reduced with the augmentation of the load eccentricity. And the experimental results are in high coincidence with those calculated by different formulas.

Based on the unified strength theory, the bearing capacity of the concrete filled square steel tube short columns with inner CFRP circular tube under eccentric compression was analyzed. The restriction effect of the inner CFRP circular tube upon the core concrete, strength reduction factor for eccentricity ratio and the equivalent reduction factor, which considered the ratio of thickness to side effect, were taken into account in the theoretical analysis. The axial bearing capacity formula of the square steel tube short columns filled with inner CFRP circular tube was deduced. By introducing the strength reduction factor for eccentricity ratio, the eccentric bearing capacity formula on the basis of the axial bearing capacity formula was obtained. Parametric studies were carried out to evaluate the effects of intermediate principal stress, different CFRP deployment ratios, eccentricity ratios and the tension-compression ratio on the eccentric bearing capacity of the column. The formula was verified by the comparison of the theoretical results with the experimental data. The results show that inner CFRP circular tube can effectively restrain the core concrete.

Geometrical Defects

To eliminate the geometrical defects and to reduce the damage caused by out-off-plane rotation of the end portion of the conven-tional buckling restrained braces, as well as introducing a new way to facilitate the construction and installation process, the exper-imental behavior of 5 proposed specimens as new type of all-steel tubular buckling restrained braces (AST-BRB) under cyclic axial loads was studied.The proposed specimens consist of a steel tube as a load bearing member (core), which is placed inside a larger tube as a buckling restraining member (pod). At the two ends of the core member, different end details and connection (compared to the common BRBs) are provided as the elastic transitional region. The performance of the specimens were evaluated based on indices, such as damage mode, repeatable behavior, adjusted strength factors, load-bearing capacity, and cumulative inelastic displacement.The evaluation of the results indicated that, the specimens, which welded variable cross-section steel lids at both ends of the core, have superior seismic performance. The superior specimens, for all cycles with larger displacements of the yielding displacement, exhibited a stable hysteresis behavior in bearing of cyclic loads. The bearing pressure was about 1.07 times greater than the tensile load. The cumulative inelastic axial displacements of these specimens is at least 209 times of their yield displacement. Meanwhile, they can tolerate at least 140 % compressive load and 10 % greater tension loads relative to the nominal capacity of the core individual.

Through the axial compression tests of two ordinary concrete-filled square steel tubular(CFSST) short columns and six composite CFSST short columns, the influence laws of section types, confinement coefficient, steel ratio and concrete strength on the mechanical behavior of the CFSST short columns were studied. The results show that in CFSST columns, the change of steel tube’s section form can improve effectively the cooperative work ability between the steel tube and core concrete, enhance the restraint effect of the steel tube on the core concrete, delay or inhibit the development of inclined cracks in the core concrete, increase the ductility and improve significantly the ultimate bearing capacity when the steel ratio or confinement coefficient is close to each other. With the increment of the confinement coefficient and steel ratio, the bearing capacity and ductility improve.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical characteristics, microstructural properties, and environmental impact of basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag-treated clay in South Korea. Mechanical characteristics were determined via the expansion, vane shear, and unconfined compression tests according to various curing times. Scanning electron microscopy was conducted to analyze microstructural properties. Furthermore, environmental impacts were evaluated by the leaching test and pH measurements. According to the results, at the early curing stage (within 15 h), the free lime (F-CaO) content of the BOF slag is a significant factor for developing the strength of the adopted sample. However, the particle size of the BOF slag influences the increase in the strength at subsequent curing times. It was inferred that the strength behavior of the sample exhibits three phases depending on various incremental strength ratios. The expansion magnitude of the adopted samples is influenced by the F-CaO content and also the particle size of the BOF slag. Regarding the microstructural properties, the presence of reticulation structures in the amorphous gels with intergrowths of rod-like ettringite formation was verified inside the sample. Finally, the pH values and heavy metal leachates of the samples were determined within the compatible ranges of the threshold effect levels in the marine sediments of the marine environment standard of the Republic of Korea.

Fiber reinforced recycled aggregate concrete has become a new type of green concrete material. The maximum particle size of coarse aggregates and steel fiber contents affect the mechanical properties and impact resistance of recycled aggregate concrete. However, such studies are rare in literature. The present paper shortens the gap through experimental study. A total of 144 specimens of 12 kinds of concrete mixtures were tested, which adopted different steel fiber volume admixtures (0%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.2%) and recycled coarse aggregates in different maximum particle sizes (9.5, 19, 31.5 mm) replacing 30% natural coarse aggregate. The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and impact resistance of the 12 concrete mixtures were tested. The results showed that the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and impact resistance of recycled aggregate concrete increased first and then decreased with the increase of the maximum particle size. The recycled aggregate concrete with the maximum particle size of 19 mm had the highest mechanical properties and impact resistance. Besides, with the increase of steel fiber content, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and impact resistance of recycled aggregate concrete showed an increasing trend. Considering a large amount of experimental data and the coupling effect of steel fiber contents and the maximum particle size of coarse aggregates, the Weibull distribution function was introduced to analyze the impact test results and predict the number of resistance to impact under different failure probabilities. The results showed that the number of blows of the recycled aggregate concrete followed a two-parameter Weibull distribution, and the estimated value of the number of resistance to impact for failure increased with the increase of the failure probability.
