In recent years, a new type of frame consisting of steel beam and concrete-filled square steel tubular special-shaped column is increasingly widespread. Compared with the joint of ordinary reinforced concrete special shaped frame, the joint between concrete-filled square steel tubular special-shaped columns and steel beams has the advantage of better ductility, higher loading capacity, uncomplicated reinforcement disposing and convenience in construction. This paper indicates that the joint has strong energy dissipation capacity and high loading capacity, and the use of diaphragm is effective to enhance the structural performance of the joints. Stress transferring mechanism in the joints is discussed, and the calculating model of the shear strength of panel zone is established. This study is helpful for further study of the design and use of the joint between concrete-filled square steel tubular special-shaped columns and steel beams.

This paper investigates the influence of an opening in the infill steel plate on the behavior of steel trapezoidal corrugated infill panels. Two specimens of steel trapezoidal corrugated shear walls were constructed and tested under cyclic loading. One specimen had a single rectangular opening, while the other one had two rectangular openings. In addition, the percentage of opening in both specimens was 18%. The initial stiffness, ultimate strength, ductility ratio and energy dissipation capacity of the two tested specimens are compared to a specimen without opening. The experimental results indicate that the existence of an opening has the greatest effect on the initial stiffness of the corrugated steel infill panels. In addition, the experimental results reveal that the structural performance of the specimen with two openings is improved in some areas compared to the specimen with one opening. To that end, the energy dissipation capacity of the specimen with two openings is obtained larger than the specimen with one opening. Furthermore, a number of numerical analyses were performed. The numerical results show that with increasing the thickness of the infill plate or using stiffeners around the opening, the ultimate strength of a corrugated steel infill panel with an opening can be equal to or even more than the ultimate strength of that panel without an opening.

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.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate seismic performance of rehabilitated beam-column joint using FRP sheets and Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) and provide test data related to rehabilitated beam-column joints in reinforced concrete structures. The seismic performance of total six beam-column specimens is evaluated under cyclic loadings in terms of shear strength, effective stiffness, energy dissipation and ductility. The test results showed wrapping FRP sheets can contribute to increase the effect of confinement and the crack delay. Also retrofitting buckling restrained braces (BRBs) can improve the stiffness and energy dissipation capacity. Both FRP sheets and BRBs can effectively improve the strength, stiffness and ductility of seismically deficient beam-column joints.

This study proposes a relatively simple steel damper with high energy dissipation capacity. Three types of steel dampers were evaluated for structural performance. The first damper with U-shape had two vertical members and a semicircular connecting member for energy dissipation. The second damper with an angled U-shape replaced the connecting member with a horizontal steel member. The last damper with D-shape had a horizontal member added to the U-shaped damper. All the dampers were designed with steel plates on both sides that transmitted external shear force to the energy-dissipating members. To evaluate the structural performance of the dampers, an in-plane cyclic shear force was applied to the specimens. The D-shaped damper showed ductile behavior with excellent energy dissipation capacity after yielding without decreasing in strength during cyclic load. In other words, the D-shaped specimen showed excellent performance, with about 3.5 times the strength of the U-shaped specimen and about 3.8 times the energy dissipation capacity due to the additional horizontal member. Furthermore, the efficient energy dissipation of the proposed D-shaped steel damper was confirmed from the finite element (FE) analytical and experimental results.

A new type of joint between Concrete-filled Square Steel Tube columns and steel beam is proposed in this paper, and the seismic behavior of this type of joint under low-reversed cyclic loading experiment is researched. Ductility behavior, dissipation of seismic energy of this joint under horizontal, repeat load are analyzed. The experimental results showed that all specimens have good ductility and energy dissipation capacity. The story angle drift ductility ratios are μ=3.23~3.63, and the equivalent viscous damping coefficients are he=0.25~0.35,which meet the needs of the code for seismic design of building.

Joints are the forces cross points of members, and the bearing modes are more complex than other members, especially under earthquake action, so the rationality of joints are directly related to the safe reliability of structure. By 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: the energy dissipation capacity of joints is much better, the degradation of strength and stiffness are slowly when reached the ultimate strength, and the ductility is also good.

Composite concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column is a new type of column having high ductility and high load-bearing capacity. In this paper, the finite element analysis software ABAQUS is used to study the seismic performance of 3D joint of composite CFST column and steel beam. The hysteretic curve and skeleton curve are obtained by changing the strength grade of the steel beam; calculate the energy dissipation ratio of the joint. The results show that the higher the beam’s steel strength the higher ultimate capacity of the joint in the constant axial load. But the full degree of hysteresis curve, energy dissipation and displacement ductility of the space joint decrease.
