The dynamic behavior of a PPSRC beam–column joint is related to constraint effect, strength deterioration and strain rate effect. Then, it can be assessed by bearing capacity, stiffness degradation, displacement ductility and energy consumption. The results show that the increased strain rate causes growth in ring stiffness, bearing capacity and energy consumption of PPSRC beam–column joints. However, the influence of shear span-to-depth ratio on dynamic mechanical properties of PPSRC beam–column joints is more obvious than that of strain rate. Regardless of strain rate, the bearing capacity, initial stiffness, ring stiffness and energy consumption of PPSRC beam–column joints decrease as the shear span-to-depth ratio increases. Moreover, the ring stiffness under reverse direction is smaller than that the under forward direction at each displacement level. However, the stiffness degradation under a lower shear span-to-depth ratio is more obvious than that under a higher shear span-to-depth ratio. Moreover, the displacement ductility with a higher shear span-to-depth ratio is better than that with a lower shear span-to-depth ratio. Finally, the mechanical properties of PPSRC beam–column joints are affected by the extension length of partial steel plate, and the reasonable extension length of the partial steel plate in the column is affected by the shear span-to-depth ratio.

In order to study the mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) specimens after exposure to high temperatures, 120 RAC prism specimens, 57 reinforced recycled aggregate concrete (RRAC) specimens, and 56 steel reinforced recycled aggregate concrete (SRRAC) specimens were designed, involving two varying parameters such as recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage and temperature. The performance degradation of RCA materials, RRAC members, and SRRAC members after exposure to high temperatures was analyzed in depth. The research results show that after exposure to high temperatures the surface color of members may change from cinereous to gray-white. Some cracks may appear on surface of members and the mass of members may be lighter. With the increase of the experiencing temperatures, the bearing capacity (compressive, bending, and shearing) of RAC and its members are reduced, but their ductility and energy dissipation capacity have little effect on the change of high temperature. With the increase of the RCA replacement percentage, the mass loss ratio, ultimate bearing capacity, and peak deformation of each RAC and its members increase slightly, and the displacement ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the RRAC members decrease slightly. With the increase in replacement percentage of RCA, mechanical properties of RAC and their members have little effect after exposure to elevated temperatures, and the fluctuation range is within 20%.

This paper proposes a novel multi-cavity steel–concrete composite floor. The mechanical properties of multi-cavity steel–concrete composite floor were studied by static load test. Based on full-scale tests on 2500 × 1000 × 120 mm multi-cavity steel–concrete composite floors, the bearing capacity and failure characteristics of the composite floor were analyzed. Compared with the existing prefabricated floor, the reliability of the test was verified by finite element simulation. The influence of steel plate material thickness, floor thickness, cavity size and span on the mechanical properties of composite floor was analyzed. The results showed that the composite floor had stronger bearing capacity and better ductility and integrity than the existing precast floor. The bearing capacity and stiffness of composite floor were positively correlated with the thickness of steel plate and floor, and negatively correlated with the cavity size and span.

Experimental study has been carried out on the seismic performance of SRC-RC transfer columns. The effect of extension length of shape steel has been analyzed. Degeneration of bearing capacity becomes much more obvious when extension length of shape steel increases and failure patterns change from shear failure to bond failure. Displacement ductility changes with increase of the extension length of shape steel, enhancing at first and then reducing, reaching peak value when extension length of shape steel gets close to three-fifths of column height. But extension length of shape steel has little effect on the bearing capacity of transfer column. Although double stirrups are arranged at the location of shape steel discontinuous, strain of stirrup at this position is still much higher than anywhere else.

Composite Walls

This paper mainly studies the effect of cast-in-situ phosphogypsum on seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete grid frame. The mechanical behaviour of three reinforced concrete grid frames and four cast-in-situ phosphogypsum-reinforced concrete grid frame composite walls under low cycle alternating load was designed and tested. The test results show that the reinforced concrete grid frame has less bearing capacity and poor energy consumption. The addition of cast-in-situ phosphogypsum can effectively improve the seismic behaviour of the reinforced concrete grid frame. Compared with the reinforced concrete grid frame, the bearing capacity of the cast-in-situ phosphogypsum-reinforced concrete grid frame composite wall is increased by 2-3 times, the displacement ductility coefficient is increased by 0.95∼1.2 times, and the relative accumulative energy consumption is increased by 86%∼216%. This shows that the composite wall has better bearing capacity, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity.

Reliable joint connection is key to designing prefabricated structures. To study the mechanical properties of the vertical joints in the designed prefabricated underground silo steel plate concrete composite wall and verify their reliability, flexural and compressive experiments were conducted using two groups of six full-scale steel plate concrete composite wall specimens; the mechanical properties between jointed and jointless specimens were compared and analyzed. The experimental results indicate that all specimens are in the elastic stage during the entire loading process; further, they exhibit large stiffness and high bearing capacity without damages. Thus, the designed vertical joints of the steel plate concrete composite wall provide a reliable connection that is safe and applicable. Further, the flexural and compressive properties of jointed and jointless specimens were found to be similar; the newly designed prefabricated underground silo steel plate concrete composite wall could be designed using the “equivalent principle” that the combined wall design calculation with the joint could be equivalent to that without the joint.

With the lightning speed of technological evolution, the demand for high performance yet sustainable natural fibres reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) are rising. Especially a mechanically competent NFPCs under various loading conditions are growing day by day. However, the polymers mechanical properties are strain-rate dependent due to their viscoelastic nature. Especially for natural fibre reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) which the involvement of filler has caused rather complex failure mechanisms under different strain rates. Moreover, some uneven micro-sized natural fibres such as bagasse, coir and wood were found often resulting in micro-cracks and voids formation in composites. This paper provides an overview of recent research on the mechanical properties of NFPCs under various loading conditions-different form (tensile, compression, bending) and different strain rates. The literature on characterisation techniques toward different strain rates, composite failure behaviours and current challenges are summarised which have led to the notion of future study trend. The strength of NFPCs is generally found grow proportionally with the strain rate up to a certain degree depending on the fibre-matrix stress-transfer efficiency. The failure modes such as embrittlement and fibre-matrix debonding were often encountered at higher strain rates. The natural filler properties, amount, sizes and polymer matrix types are found to be few key factors affecting the performances of composites under various strain rates whereby optimally adjust these factors could maximise the fibre-matrix stress-transfer efficiency and led to performance increases under various loading strain rates.
