This paper reports on an experimental study on the flexural behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-concrete-steel double skin cantilever beams (referred to as DSTBs) that were tested under reversed cyclic loading. The beams were manufactured using a high-strength concrete (HSC) mix and they were 150 mm in diameter and 1.2 m in length. The main parameters of the experimental study included the size of the inner steel tube and the use of mechanical connectors in the form of steel rings welded on the inner steel tube. Test results indicate that DSTBs are capable of developing a highly ductile behavior under reversed cyclic lateral displacement excursions. It is found that the addition of mechanical connectors on the steel tube has no significant influence on the lateral displacement capacity of the test specimens, but they can eliminate the slippage between the concrete and inner steel tube. Examination of the test results has led to a number of significant conclusions on the influence of the beam parameters on the performance of DSTBs, which are discussed in the paper.

This paper reports on part of an ongoing experimental program at The University of Adelaide on the flexural behavior of FRP-high-strength concrete (HSC)-steel double-skin tubular beams (DSTBs). The results from three circular DSTBs that were tested as simply supported beams in a four-point bending setup under monotonic loading are presented. The experimental study investigated the influences of the inner steel tube diameter and the use of mechanical connectors on the steel tube on the flexural behavior of DSTBs. The results indicate that DSTBs are capable of developing very high inelastic flexural deformations. However, the results also indicate that slip between the concrete and the steel tube of the DSTB can be relatively large, unless the bond between concrete and steel tube is enhanced through the use of mechanical connectors. It was also observed that the flexural behavior of DSTBs is influenced significantly by the diameter and thickness of the inner steel tube.

This work presents an experimental study on the flexural behavior of steel tube slab composite beams subjected to pure bending. The main design elements considered in the work are the flange thickness, reinforcement ratio of high strength bolts, spacing between the tubes, and transverse patterns of the tube connections. Based on nine flexural experiments on simply supported steel tube slab specimens, the failure process and crack development in steel tube slab specimens, and their load–deflection curves are investigated. The results of the laboratory tests show that the welding of the bottom flange significantly improves the flexural capacity of the steel tube slab structure. In addition, a lower concrete’s compressive strength improves the ductility of the steel tube slab specimens. Moreover, the flexural capacities predicted from the design guidelines are in good agreement with the experimental test results. Finally, based on the numerical simulations using the ABAQUS software, a numerical model is established to further investigate the effect of the additional parameters on the flexural capacity of steel tube slab structures. The numerical results suggested that the diameter of the steel bolts and the reinforcement ratio have a limited effect on the flexural bearing capacity of the steel tube slab beams, and the ultimate bearing capacity increases linearly along with increase in the diameter of the steel bolts and the reinforcement ratio in a certain range.

The Relationship

The study of WJ-8 rail fastening is about the relationship between lateral horizontal force and rail’s lateral displacement, and the rail fastening’s transverse stiffness was obtained since the rail slipped. The rail lateral displacement was measured by using the loading device of rail’s lateral horizontal force which was changed as needed. Moreover, when the lateral horizontal force changes, it was analyzed that how it affected rail’s lateral displacement and rail fastening’s transverse stiffness under different bolt torque conditions. Therefore, the recommended value of transverse stiffness is acquired which is based on analyzing the test results.
