Axial Compression Ratio

Precast reinforced concrete structures are widely used due to many constructional advantages such as faster construction speed, lower construction cost, being environmentally friendly, higher strength, and so on. To study the seismic performance of precast reinforced concrete structures, tests on beam-to-column joints of precast reinforced concrete structures were conducted under low reversed cyclic loading. In total, four joint specimens were produced in this study, including two precast joints and two cast-in-place joints. In addition to the comparison between different types of joints, the axial compression ratio of column was adopted as the main variable in this study. Analysis was carried out on the basis of the observed joint failure mode and relationships derived from the test data such as hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation curves, energy dissipation capacities, and sleeve joint strain curves. Despite the closeness of energy dissipation capacity between the precast joints and the cast-in-place joints, they had different failure modes. Precast joints feature a relatively concentrated crack distribution in which the limited number of cracks was distributed throughout the plastic zone of the beam. Cast-in-place joints feature more evenly distributed cracks in the plastic zone, especially at the later stage of the loading. The steel slippage of the precast concrete joints was found influenced by the axial compression ratio. Through this study, it is concluded that seismic resistance capacity of precast concrete joint needs to be considered in design and construction and the grouting sleeve splice could be kept away from the hinge zones when precast concrete structures were used in regions of high seismicity. The results in this study can provide a theoretical basis for seismic design of precast reinforced concrete structures, which in turn can promote the application of precast reinforced concrete structures.

Specially Shaped Column

In traditional building construction, the structural columns restrict the design of the buildings and the layout of furniture, so the use of specially shaped columns came into being. The finite element model of a reinforced concrete framework using specially shaped columns was established by using the ABAQUS software. The effects of concrete strength, reinforcement ratio, and axial compression ratio on the seismic performance of the building incorporating such columns were studied. The numerical analysis was performed for a ten-frame structure with specially shaped columns under low reversed cyclic loading. The load-displacement curve, peak load, ductility coefficient, energy dissipation capacity, and stiffness degradation curve of the specially shaped column frame were obtained using the ABAQUS finite element software. The following three results were obtained from the investigation: First, when the strength of concrete in the specially shaped column frame structure was increased, the peak load increased, while the ductility and energy dissipation capacity weakened, which accelerated the stiffness degradation of the structure. Second, when the reinforcement ratio was increased in the specially shaped column frame structure, the peak load increased and the ductility and energy dissipation capacity also increased, which increased the stiffness of the structure. Third, when the axial compression ratio was increased in the structure, the peak load increased, while ductility and energy dissipation capacity reduced, which accelerated the degradation of structural stiffness.

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.

The structural performance of a frame joint is particularly important, which can determine the safe state of the global structure. For this reason, the seismic performance of the truss steel reinforced concrete (SRC) beam-column frame joints is investigated by the experimental study and the nonlinear finite element modeling. The main design parameters include the section size of the web rods, the axial compression ratio and the section size of I-steel. The failure mechanism, load-displacement skeleton curve, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity, and shear deformation in the core zone of the truss SRC beam-column joints are studied. A formula is put forward to describe the shear bearing-capacity of the joints. The results indicate that the truss SRC beam-column frame joints generally have good seismic performance. The size of steel and web members have impact on the seismic performance of the truss SRC beam-column joints, and the axial compression ratio is an important factor that impacts the hysteresis behavior and energy dissipation. The proposed shear bearing-capacity formula can objectively reflect the performance of the joints.

To study the seismic performance of hollow reinforced concrete piers under dynamic loads, nine hollow pier specimens with different stirrup ratios, reinforcement ratios, and axial compression ratios are designed and manufactured. The El Centro wave, Taft wave, and artificial Lanzhou wave are selected as seismic excitation for the shaking table test. The effects of the reinforcement ratio, stirrup ratio, and axial compression ratio on the failure mode, period, damping, acceleration and displacement response, dynamic magnification factor, ductility, and energy dissipation of specimens under different working conditions are studied. The results show that all the nine reinforced concrete piers have good seismic performance. Subjected to ground motion excitation, horizontal through cracks appeared on the pier surface. With the increase of ground motion excitation, the period of piers increases but the maximum period does not exceed 0.62 s, and the damping ratio increases as well and ranges from 0.02 to 0.064. With the increase of the ground motion excitation, the acceleration response of pier specimens increases, the dynamic magnification factor decreases, the displacement ductility coefficient decreases, and the energy dissipation of the specimens increases. The reinforcement ratio, stirrup ratio, and axial compression ratio have different effects on the above parameters. The test results can provide reference for seismic design of hollow rectangular piers and have certain engineering significance and value.

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.

Hysteretic Performance

In order to study the seismic performance of precast short-leg shear wall connected by grouting sleeves (PSSW), the three-dimensional numerical model was established by using the experiment of PSSW subjected to low cyclic loading. Based on good agreement between numerical results and experimental results, the numerical analysis models with different structural parameters of axial compression ratio and splicing position were designed in detail, and the effects of various parameters on the seismic performance of PSSW were analyzed. The results show that the PSSW exhibits wide and stable hysteresis loops, indicating a satisfactory hysteretic performance and an excellent energy consumption capacity. With the increase of the axial compression ratio, the shear capacity of horizontal splice seam is improved, but the ductility coefficient and total energy consumption decrease obviously. The most disadvantageous position of PSSW can be effectively avoided by changing the position of the post pouring seam. The bearing capacity of the specimens is basically stable, and the energy consumption increases significantly, so the post pouring seam of precast wall is recommended to be far away from the bottom section of the wall. In addition, the failure mechanism of different splicing positions was analyzed in detail.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate seismic performance of rehabilitated beam-column joint using FRP sheets and Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) and provide test data related to rehabilitated beam-column joints in reinforced concrete structures. The seismic performance of total six beam-column specimens is evaluated under cyclic loadings in terms of shear strength, effective stiffness, energy dissipation and ductility. The test results showed wrapping FRP sheets can contribute to increase the effect of confinement and the crack delay. Also retrofitting buckling restrained braces (BRBs) can improve the stiffness and energy dissipation capacity. Both FRP sheets and BRBs can effectively improve the strength, stiffness and ductility of seismically deficient beam-column joints.

By testing the seismic performance of the beams and columns of three SRHC with different axial compression ratios, the paper reveals the influence pattern of the nodes’ stress transfer and distribution, cracks’ appearance and development, member deformation, destruction pattern and mechanism, energy dissipation capacity etc., in SRHC with different axial compression ratios. The test shows that the increase of axial compression ratio postpones the appearance of the diagonal cracks in the nodes area, and slows down moderately the speed of development of the diagonal cracks, and improves the nodes’ energy dissipation capacity and ductility etc. this article studies its crack resistance and bearing capacity only. The purpose of this test is, through the low cyclic loading test of the nodes in the beams and columns of three SRHC with different axial compression ratios, to investigate the axial compression ratio’ influence on the cracks’ appearance, development, destruction pattern and deformation characteristics in the nodes; to analyze of the factors influencing the load-carrying capability; to validate the calculation methods proposed by related studies, which is little studied by foreign countries. This paper, based on the analysis of axial compression ratio test, further validates and improves the theory and methods proposed in the literature.
