To study the bearing capacity, ductile, energy dissipation capacity and failure mechanisms of RC frames which Strengthened with CFRP sheet and steel plate, three concrete frame specimens were subjected to the horizontal low cyclic loading. One was loaded up to the failure load, the others were strengthened with CFRP sheet and steel plate after loading to damage, and then were loaded up to the failure load. In terms of cracking load, yield load and ultimate load, the experimental results show that the improved degree of frame strengthened with steel plate is more than with CFRP sheet, on the other hand, regarding ductile and energy dissipation capacity, the improvement of frame strengthened with CFRP sheet is better than with steel plate.

Self-Centering structure is a kind of new structure, which aims for reducing the residual deformation of structure after the earthquake. In order to research the Seismic Behavior of Self-centering Prefabricated concrete frame, a new joint applied with prestressed tendons and a traditional joint are designed in this paper with the finite element software ABAQUS. The seismic performances of them are contrastively analyzed. The new joint is found to have better self-centering capacity. Then two plane frame models are analyzed. The result shows that the frame applied with prestressed tendons has some capacity of self-centering and enough energy dissipation effects.

The results of an experimental program on eight short reinforced concrete columns having different structural sizes and axial compression ratios subjected to monotonic/cyclic lateral loading were reported. A 3D mesoscopic simulation method for the analysis of mechanical properties of reinforced concrete members was established, and then it was utilized as an important supplement and extension of the traditional experimental method. Lots of numerical trials, based on the restricted experimental results and the proposed 3D mesoscopic simulation method, were carried out to sufficiently evaluate the seismic performances of short reinforced concrete columns with different structural sizes and axial compression ratios. The test results indicate that (1) the failure pattern of reinforced concrete columns can be significantly affected by the shear-span ratio; (2) increasing the axial compression ratio could improve the load capacity of the reinforced concrete column, but the deformation capacity would be restricted and the failure mode would be more brittle, consequently the energy dissipation capacity could be deteriorated; and (3) the load capacity, the displacement ductility, and the energy dissipation capacity of the short reinforced concrete columns all exhibit clear size effect, namely, the size effect could significantly affect the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete columns.

With the pseudo-static test of 4 concrete-filled square steel tubular column and steel beam joint with outer stiffened ring, this paper discusses the failure characteristics, failure mechanism and seismic behavior of joints under different axial compression ratio. The analysis of the testing results shows: when reached the ultimate strength, the strength degradation and stiffness degradation of joints are slowly and the ductility is also good, the energy dissipation capacity of joints is much better.

Precast Prestressed Concrete

Precast monolithic structures are increasingly applied in construction. Such a structure has a performance somewhere between that of a pure precast structure and that of a cast-in-place structure. A precast concrete frame structure is one of the most common prefabricated structural systems. The post-pouring joint is important for controlling the seismic performance of the entire precast monolithic frame structure. This paper investigated the joints of a precast prestressed concrete frame structure. A reversed cyclic loading test was carried out on two precast prestressed concrete beam–column joints that were fabricated with two different concrete strengths in the keyway area. This testing was also performed on a cast-in-place reinforced concrete joint for comparison. The phenomena such as joint crack development, yielding, and ultimate damage were observed, and the seismic performance of the proposed precast prestressed concrete joint was determined. The results showed that the precast prestressed concrete joint and the cast-in-place joint had a similar failure mode. The stiffness, bearing capacity, ductility, and energy dissipation were comparable. The hysteresis curves were full and showed that the joints had good energy dissipation. The presence of prestressing tendons limited the development of cracks in the precast beams. The concrete strength of the keyway area had little effect on the seismic performance of the precast prestressed concrete joints. The precast prestressed concrete joints had a seismic performance that was comparable to the equivalent monolithic system.

In this study, two types of novel box connections were developed to connect precast concrete (PC) columns and to ensure load transfer integrity. Cyclic loading tests were conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of the PC columns with proposed connections as well as the feasibility and reliability of novel box connections. The failure mode, hysteretic behavior, bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation were obtained and discussed. The test results indicated that the all PC columns exhibited the ductile flexural failure mode and that the proposed connections could transfer the force effectively. The adoption of novel box connections could improve the deformation capacity and energy dissipation capacity of PC columns. A higher axial compression ratio could enhance the bearing capacity of PC column with proposed connection but would significantly deteriorate the ductility and energy dissipation capacity. Finite element models were developed and the feasibility of the models was verified by the comparison with the test results.

The application of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) in concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) structures can eliminate the deterioration of concrete performance caused by the original defects of the recycled aggregate, which also provides an effective way for the recycling of waste concrete. In this paper, a test of a small scale model of a circular CFST column-reinforced concrete (RC) beam frame with RACs under low cyclic loading was presented in order to investigate its seismic behavior. The failure modes, plastic hinges sequence, hysteresis curve, skeleton curve, energy dissipation capacity, ductility and stiffness degeneration of the frame were presented and analyzed in detail. The test results show that the design method of the recycled aggregate concrete filled circular steel tube (RACFCST) frame complies with the seismic design requirements of a stronger joint followed by the stronger column and the weaker beam. The hysteresis curve of the frame is symmetrical, showing a relatively full shuttle shape; at the same time, the ductility coefficient of the frame is greater than 2.5, showing good deformation performance. In addition, when the frame is damaged, the displacement angle is greater than 1/38, and the equivalent damping ratios coefficient is 0.243, which indicates that the frame has excellent anti-collapse and energy dissipation abilities. In summary, the RACFCST frame has good seismic behavior, which can be applied to high-rise buildings in high-intensity seismic fortification areas.
