To study the effect of various axial compression ratios on the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with textile-reinforced concrete, in this study, an RC column model is established using the finite element analysis software, ABAQUS. This model’s seismic performance under earthquakes is investigated, and the numerical analysis results of the two test pieces are compared with the test results to verify the correctness of the model. The results show that the initial stage of RC loading is under the three-way restraint of the axial force and textile-reinforced concrete material. The yield load and peak load of the textile-reinforced concrete–strengthened RC column increase with the increase in the axial compression ratio. However, the increase in the axial pressure during the loading process accelerates the crack development. The displacement ductility coefficient and the energy dissipation capacity of the specimen are reduced as the axial compression ratio increases. The numerical calculation results of the textile-reinforced concrete–strengthened RC column are in good agreement with the experimental results, indicating that the numerical model based on ABAQUS is reasonable.

To explore the influence of axial compressive ratio on seismic behavior of reactive powder concrete(RPC) beam-column joints,this paper carry out RPC beam-column joints nonlinear finite element analysis,using software ABAQUS.The effect of different axial compression ratio on the ductility,energy dissipation capacity and bearing capacity are studied,based on hysteretic curves and skeleton curves of the components.The results show that,with the increase of axial compression ratio,skeleton curves of the components tend to be steep when the vertical load of beam ends exceed the peak point.The ultimate bearing capacity of the components are improved with the increasing of axial compression ratio which is less then 0.6,while the ultimate bearing capacity show a opposite trend when the axial compressive ratio exceed 0.6.

In this paper, the finite element analysis software ABAQUS is used to study the hysteretic property of cross steel reinforced concrete special-shaped column in different axial compression ratios. In the same condition, we can get the deformation diagram of cross steel reinforced concrete special-shaped column which the axial compressive ratio is 0.0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8 by changing the axial load of the column, then extract the hysteretic curve and skeleton curve. By contrast, it can be seen that the hysteretic property of column reduce with the increasing of axial compression ratio, and the ultimate bearing capacity of column also reduce with the increasing of axial compression ratio.

The main objective of this study is to parametrically investigate the effect of pre-and post-corrosion and loading damage on concrete-jacketed reinforced concrete (RC) columns under uni-axial loading. A model capable of evaluating the squash load of un-jacketed or jacketed RC columns with and without corrosion damage was induced. The parametric studies based on this model are meant to investigate the effect of rebar corrosion on the axial compression capacity of jacketed RC column. It was concluded that the longitudinal rebar corrosion has more distinct effect on the peak load than that of web rebar. The jacketing rebar corrosion has more distinct effect on the peak load than that of substrate rebar.

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.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is a novel material of concrete, which has a great potential to be used in practical engineering. Based on the finite element software Opensees, the main objective of this paper presented a numerical simulation method on investigating the seismic behavior of SFRC–beam-column joints (BCJs) through modifying the calculation method of joint shear and longitudinal reinforcement slip deformations. The feasibility and accuracy of the numerical modeling method were verified by comparing the computed results with experimental data in terms of the hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, feature points, energy dissipation, and stiffness degradation. And then, the influences of some key parameters on the seismic behavior of BCJs were investigated and discussed in detail. The parametric studies clearly illustrated that both adding the steel fiber and increasing the stirrup amount of joint core area could significantly improve the seismic behavior of BCJs. The axial compression ratio had limited influence on the seismic behavior of BCJs. Finally, based on the main factors (steel fiber volume ratio, stirrup amount, and axial compression ratio), a formula for predicting ultimate shear capacity is derived.

To investigate the seismic behavior of RC columns under bidirectional lateral loading, numerical analysis for tests of RC columns under biaxial loading were performed using fiber model. The simulation results agreed well with test results. The effect of axial compression ratio on the seismic behavior of RC columns under biaxial lateral load was analyzed. The analytical results showed that biaxial lateral loading had little effect on critical axial compression ratio, and the value of critical axial compression ratio was between 0.4~0.5. Bevel carrying capacity under bidirectional lateral loading was a little greater than that under principal axial loading when axial compression ratio was less than 0.1. There had been about 10 percent decrease in bevel carrying capacity at critical axial compression ratio but principal axial bearing capacity declined about 35 percent. Moreover, ultimate displacement angle and accumulative hysteretic dissipation energy decreased observably with increase of axial compression ratio. The adverse influence of special effect on principal axis should be considered in the actual design.

SRC-RC transfer columns are commonly designed as a transition floor for high-rising buildings to transfer from lower SRC columns to upper RC columns. The mechanical performances are studied in the paper using the finite element software of ABAQUS. Nonlinear numerical analyses are made for SRC-RC transfer columns firstly to obtain the relationship between force and displacement at top of the columns. By comparing the analytical results with experimental ones, it is found that the results from finite element analysis coincide well with experimental ones. So ABAQUS software could be used as a supplementary means to simulate SRC-RC transfer columns mechanical behavior. Then the factors such as steel ratio and axial compression ratio are contrastively analyzed. The results show that axial compression ratio has a greater influence on the bearing capacity and hysteretic performance of the structure, but the steel ratio has less influence. Finally, comparisons between SRC-RC and RC columns are also made to demonstrate the mechanical performance of SRC-RC columns further. Conclusions drawn in the study might be useful in practical engineering design.
