The coupling beam work as an important component in coupled shear walls, the strength,stiffness and deformation properties of which have great influence on the seismic performance of shear walls, the steel plate reinforced concrete coupling beams have the advantages as follows: simplify the constructional details, make the construction convenient and reliable performance [1][2]. The numerical simulation model in this paper is a coupled shear wall connected by steel plate reinforced concrete coupling beams in reference [3], and the loading mode is the same as the reference [4] . The relative stiffness effect was explored by study the internal force and displacement of the model with changing the stiffness of the coupling beams and the shear walls while the span-depth ratio is stable .The study will provide a reference for the numerical simulation of the finite element simulation analysis of the coupling beams and the steel reinforced concrete structures.

Based on the current methods of damage detection, a new detection damage model was proposed in order to search a more efficient detection method for reinforced concrete high-rise building damage induced by earthquake. This model is based on the regularity of change in the damping ratio of high-rise buildings, and the high order modes, mode participation coefficient and measure method of natural frequency, together with the type of structures, are taken into account in the model. The shaking test results for a model of reinforced concrete high-rise buildings show that the damage detection results based on the proposed model are close to the test results.

A large impaired reinforced concrete beam with cracks was strengthened under self-weight action by the externally bonded steel frame composed with bottom steel plate and side hoop steel belts. The normal service loading behaviors of this beam were tested to verify the effectiveness of this strengthening method specified in current Chinese design code. Based on the analyses of test results, it can be concluded that: the deformation of flexural cross section of this beam fitted the assumption of plain cross section, the steel plate could effectively enhance the flexural stiffness and decrease the deflection of this beam, no new cracks appeared under the normal service loads, the cracks at bottom of this beam were more confined by the steel frame than those at web zone. Therefore, other measure should be taken to avoid the opening of web cracks.

Data from the Tsubota et al. (1993) experiments provided the basis for a numerical study that investigated the impact response of steel-plate lined, reinforced concrete panels using the SPH formulation in LS-DYNA. The simulated tests involved 50 mm (1.97 in), 70 mm (2.76 in), and 90 mm (3.54 in) thick reinforced concrete (RC) panels with steel liners and one 50-mm thick benchmark RC panel. Three of the five panels had a steel liner attached to the back face and one had a steel liner on both faces. The panels were normally impacted by a 39.6 mm (1.56 in) diameter projectile at a velocity of 170 m/s (6693 in/s). Reasonable predictions of observed damage, including perforation, liner fracture or bulging, and concrete scabbing were achieved using the MAT072R3 concrete material model. The effectiveness of adding steel liners to a concrete panel to prevent perforation and scabbing resulting from projectile impact was investigated using the numerical model and MAT072R3. Installing a steel liner on the back face of a panel, with a reinforcement ratio equal to that of the internal reinforcement, is an effective method to mitigate scabbing but has little effect on perforation resistance.

Three reinforcement materials with steel plate, epoxies resin sheet, and glass fiber sheet adhering to failed reinforced concrete beams (RC beams) were used to improve the bearing capacity of Reinforced Concrete beams in the paper. The test results shows all the three materials were proved satisfied with bearing capacity increasing request. Strengthening effects with steel plate and epoxies resin sheet were more obvious.

Two large impaired reinforced concrete beams with pre-loading cracks were strengthened by the externally bonded steel frame composed with bottom steel plate and side hoop steel belts. The cyclic loading behaviors of these beams were tested to verify the effectiveness of this strengthening method specified in current Chinese design code. Based on the analyses of test results, the steel plate worked well with bonded concrete under normal service load, the hoop steel belts were necessary to prevent the peeling of bottom steel plate. The strengthened beams were effectively enhanced in flexural stiffness and ultimate resistance, and no new cracks appeared under the normal service load.

Reinforced concrete (RC) columns are the vital members in bridge under the action of earthquake. In this paper, a modified Park-Ang damage model with nonlinear combination of the deformation and the hysteretic energy is proposed as a measure of RC bridge columns damage. The nonlinear combination coefficient of the modified model has been calculated based on the 151 cyclic test results of flexure dominant reinforced concrete columns. In additional, the correlation between performance levels and the values of damage index is presented. It is suggested that the scatter of the modified model at different performance levels is significantly reduced compared to the original Park-Ang damage model. At last, the probabilistic capacity models for RC bridge columns are applied to perform a damage analysis.

This paper describes a study of welded steel plate joints using experimental and numerical methods. The objectives of this study are to observe the mechanical behavior of welded plate joints under monotonic and cyclic loads, identify their damage degradation processes, and provide useful test data for future damage analysis of beam-column connections in steel frame structures. Six specimens were designed, of which three were tested under monotonic loads, and the other three were tested under cyclic loads. The test setup consisted of three plates arranged in a cruciform and connected by two groove welds. The monotonic and cyclic loads were applied to the free end of the two outstanding plates, inducing a pulling force on the welded joint. Because the only element studied in the present work is the weld, the sizes of the three plates were kept constant. The responses of these welded plate joints are discussed in terms of their experimentally and numerically obtained mechanical parameters, hysteretic behavior, strain variations, stiffness degradation, damage process, and failure modes. The results show that the energy damage model outperforms the displacement damage model in terms of indicating the degree of damage. Furthermore, if designed according to code, all these welded plate joints perform satisfactorily.
