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.

Through earthquake simulation experiment of nine regional confined concrete columns with different axial compression ratio, the bearing capacity and seismic behavior of regional confined concrete columns were studied in this paper. Considering the ductility, stiffness, energy-dissipation performance and related factors of regional confined concrete columns under different axial compression ratio, by comparative analysis of the hysteretic behavior of the specimens, the limit of axial compression ratio of regional confined concrete columns is proposed for seismic design.

Three model specimens of alkali-activated slag concrete filled steel tube (AAS-CFST) with different axial compression ratio and steel ratio were designed and tested in the present study. The seismic performance of the structures were evaluated by testing them with combined lateral constant compression and vertical cyclic loads. The structural performance, such as the testing observations, hysteretic behavior, skeleton curve, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation capacity and ductility performance was discussed in detailed. The results show that all the specimens’ damage were bending deformation mode, and the hysteretic curves are relatively smooth. Test data indicated that increased the axial compression ratio improved the load bearing capacity, initial stiffness.

Based on analysis of the hysteretic experimental results of the concrete filled square CFRP-steel tubular (S-CFRP-CFST) beam-columns, it shows that the steel tube and the CFRP material can work concurrently both in longitudinal and transverse directions, the longitudinal strain and the transverse strain at a same point have opposite action. Additionally, the deflection curves of all the specimens are close to half sinusoidal shape. Analysis indicates that there is some strength degradation. The axial compression ratio and strengthening factor of the longitudinal CFRP can enhance the strength and the stiffness of the members and they can also delay the stiffness degradation. However, they will decrease the accumulated energy dissipation of the members. The axial compression ratio is beneficial to seismic behaviors to some extent.

Through the experimental tests on 6 steel reinforced high-strength concrete columns under low cyclic horizontal loads, the influence on anti-seismic performance of the columns under different axial compression ratio, stirrup ratio and steel form is analyzed, and that anti-seismic performance of the columns is affected not only by axial compression ratio, but also by steel form. For steel reinforced high-strength concrete columns with different steel forms, the limit values of axial compression ratio may be adjusted, while the influence of stirrup ratio is not prominent.

Under violent earthquake motions, the severe damage in critical regions of structures could be ascribed to cumulative damage caused by cyclic loading. Using the high strength (HS) materials in concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns is the effective way and popular tendency to promote the seismic behavior in anti-seismic design. In this paper, an experimental study on the hysteretic performance of high strength circular concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular columns (HCFTST) columns was carried out. A total of six specimens were tested under constant axial compression combining cyclic lateral loading. The tested parameters were the different combinations of diameter-to-thickness (D/t) ratio, axial compression ratio (n) and concrete cylinder compressive strength (fc).The failure modes, load-displacement hysteretic curves, skeleton curves, dissipated energy and stiffness degradation were examined in detail. Through the experiment analysis result, it indicates that the ultimate limit state is reached as the severe local buckling and rupture of the steel tubes accompanying the core concrete crushing occur. Using high strength materials could have a larger elastic deformation capacity and the higher axial compression ratio within test scopes could motivate the potential of HS materials. In brief, the HCFTST columns with ultra-large D/t ratios under reasonable design could perform excellent hysteretic performance, which can be applied in earthquake-prone regions widely.

This paper aims at analyzing the failure process, failure modes, characteristics of hysteresis loop and the ductility of 10 high-strength concrete (HSC) columns confined by high-strength complex stirrups under cyclic lateral force and a higher constant axial loading. It is indicated that the hysteresis loop of this type of columns still show plump spindle-shaped at higher axial compression ratio, which shows better ductility, energy dissipation and anti-collapse performance. Therefore, it is an effective measure of setting high-strength stirrups to ensure the good ductility of HSC columns under high axial compression ratio and to increase the limit value of axial compression ratio. The stress of transverse reinforcement is evaluated, which shows that high-strength stirrups have yielded when most of the specimens are destroyed, and the strength of stirrups can be fully developed to provide a better effect of restraint. Based on a large number of experimental data, the relationships between the limit drift, the ductility coefficient of HSC columns and axial compression ratio, stirrup characteristic values, covering layer as well as longitudinal reinforcement ratio are established; the calculation formula of minimum stirrups characteristic value of HSC columns at different seismic levels considering of axial compression ratio is presented.

Based on damage mechanics and failure model, a seismic damage model applying to steel reinforced high strength and high performance concrete frame joints is put forward, which takes deformation and cumulative damage into account. The damage performance of five tentative frame joints is compared and analyzed according to deformation and dissipated hysteretic energy under different loading levels, and the main influence factors on damage performance are established. The damage indexes of tentative frame joints are calculated, and the influence of strength grade of concrete and axial compression ratio on damage performance is discussed. The results indicate that the general damage is controlled by the damage of concrete in the earlier stage of loading, and by the damage of shape steel and stirrup in the later stage of loading; joints with lower axial compression ratio and lower concrete strength grade possess better hysteretic energy performance. Damage analysis provides an available means for the research of steel reinforced high strength and high performance concrete frame joints under seismic load. The damage model presented can be a reference for seismic damage analysis of the structure, prediction of earthquake damage in future, estimation of economic loss and repair after earthquake.

This study evaluates the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) short columns with a high axial compression ratio under oblique earthquake conditions. The studied parameters include the loading angle, axial compression ratio, the high-strength stirrups with small spacing, and the carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapped column end or outer steel plate mesh at the end of the column. Low-cycle repeated loading tests were used to analyze the specimens’ seismic performance indices of hysteretic behavior, strength, stiffness, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation capacity. Results suggest that the OpenSees finite element program can sufficiently simulate the nonlinear response of the specimen. Oblique loading led to the increase of damage to the specimens and the deterioration of stiffness of the specimens, which was especially seen with the increase of the axial compression ratio. Accordingly, arranging high-strength stirrups with small spacing and the column end outer steel plate mesh both transform the failure mode from shear failure to bending shear failure. Additionally, wrapping the CFRP at the end of columns improves their strength but does not improve their deformation capacity. The demonstrated success of these strategies in improving the seismic performance of RC short columns under diagonal loads with high axial compression ratios can inform practical engineering applications.
