This paper investigates the eccentric compression performance of high-strength steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns. In addition, the feasibility of the calculation codes used for the load-carrying capacity of these columns is verified by eccentric compression tests on 10 high-strength SRC columns with Q460 and Q690 steels and two normal SRC columns with Q235 steel. Moreover, the influence of the steel strength, relative eccentricity, steel ratio, and stirrup spacing on the bearing capacity and ductility of the specimens is analyzed. It was found that the bearing capacity and ductility of the specimens significantly increases when the steel strength increases from 276.5 MPa to 774.2 MPa; the bearing capacity of the Q690 SRC column is slightly higher than that of the Q460 SRC column. In addition, the ductility coefficient of the Q690 SRC columns is significantly higher than that of the Q460 SRC columns. It was also found that increasing the eccentricity and steel ratio can improve the ductility of the specimens and the smaller stirrup spacing can enlarge the contribution of Q690 steel under the ultimate bearing capacity. It is demonstrated that Eurocode 4-2004 and AISC360-16 codes significantly underestimate the test results. In contrast, JGJ138-2016 slightly underestimates the test results when the relative eccentricity is 0.2 but overestimates the test results when the relative eccentricity is 0.6. Furthermore, in order to maximize the contribution of Q690 steel under ultimate bearing capacity, the expanded parameter analysis is carried out using a finite element model. Following the analysis results, the suggestions for designing high-strength SRC columns under eccentric load are provided.

Improvement Effect

The improvement effect of the external concrete to stability of the core steel-tube was demonstrated by the steel-tube replacement ratio through experimental study. The test results show that, with the steel-tube replacement ratio increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity of composite columns increased correspondingly, and the ductility of composite columns was improved obviously also. Therefore, the steel-tube replacement ratio should be involved in the formula for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of composite columns. By finite element method and regression analysis, the slenderness ratio is amended by the steel-tube replacement ratio and the calculation results of the eccentric compression bearing capacity agreed well with the test results．

This paper adopts the method of steel tube wall thickness and strength reduction to simulate corrosion damage. The numerical model of the square concrete-filled steel tube long column (SCFST-LC) under eccentric compression after acid rain corrosion is established in the finite element software, ABAQUS. The reliability and accuracy of the model are verified by comparing it with published relevant experimental results. The failure mode, load-deformation curve, and ultimate compressive load were analysed. Following that, the impacts of section size, yield strength of the steel tube, axial compressive strength of concrete, steel ratio, slenderness ratio, and load eccentricity on its ultimate compressive load are comprehensively investigated. The results demonstrate that the ultimate compressive load of the SCFST-LC decreases significantly with the increase in corrosion rate. The corrosion rate increases from 10 to 40%, and the ultimate bearing capacity decreases by 37.6%. Its ultimate bearing capacity can be enhanced due to the increase in section size, material strength, and steel ratio. In contrast, the ascending slenderness ratio and load eccentricity has harmful effects on the ultimate compressive load of the specimens. Finally, a simplified formula for the axial compressive load of the SCFST-LC under eccentric compression after acid rain corrosion is proposed. The calculation accuracy is high and the deviation of the results is basically within 15%, which is in good agreement with the numerical simulation results.

An experimental program of laboratory bearing tests was performed to characterize the bearing capacity of foundation on unsaturated granular soils. All tests were performed by pushing a circular rod on the surface of compacted sand specimens with different values of matric suction until failure. The test results show an increase in ultimate bearing capacity with increasing matric suction at low suction value but a decrease in that at high level of suction. The comparisons between the test results and simulations using the expressions proposed in this paper are presented and discussed. Good agreements are achieved for all testing values of suction.

To investigate the applicability of the methods for calculating the bearing capacity of high-strength steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) composite columns according to specifications and the effect of confinement of stirrups and steel on the bearing capacity of SRC columns. The axial compression tests were conducted on 10 high-strength SRC columns and 4 ordinary SRC columns. The influences of the steel strength grade, the steel ratio, the types of stirrups and slenderness ratio on the bearing capacity of such members were examined. The analysis results indicate that using high-strength steel and improving the steel ratio can significantly enhance the bearing capacity of the SRC columns. When the slenderness ratio increases dramatically, the bearing capacity of the SRC columns plummets. As the confinement effect of the stirrups on the concrete improves, the utilization ratio of the high-strength steel in the SRC columns increases. Furthermore, the results calculated by AISC360-19(U.S.), EN1994-1-1-2004 (Europe), and JGJ138-2016(China) are too conservative compared with test results. Finally, a modified formula for calculating the bearing capacity of the SRC columns is proposed based on the confinement effect of the stirrups and steel on concrete. The results calculated by the modified formula and the finite element modeling results based on the confinement effect agree well with the test results.

The article is devoted to the analysis of technical and economic efficiency of application of high-strength concrete (HSC) in the eccentrically compressed columns. In the first part of the paper, the effect of concrete grade on in-creasing the column stiffness depending on steel ratio at different values of the relative eccentricity is considered. According to the results of the calculation, application of HSC is most effective at low values of the relative ec-centricity because increasing the concrete strength leads to more intensive increasing of column stiffness than increasing of steel ratio. In the second part of the paper, the material cost of the 1 linear meter of the column is calculated at the fixed value of column stiffness and application domain of HSC is defined in the case under consideration. In addition, load characteristics providing the efficiency of HSC application in the eccentrically compressed columns are determined.

Steel-concrete composite bridge towers have the advantages of steel and concrete, they have a good prospect in bridge engineering. However, the applications and related researches of composite bridge towers in China are rare. Therefore, in this article, two types of steel-high performance concrete composite bridge tower and pier models, which had none and one row of longitudinal stud connectors, were designed. The axial compression tests were practiced on the two specimens, in order to study the influence of connectors on the mechanical properties of the composite bridge towers and piers. From the tests, the ultimate bearing capacity and failure mode were obtained, and the regularities of strains and deformations were also analyzed. The results show that setting up stud connectors on the composite towers and piers can improve the ductility and the ultimate bearing capacity obviously.
