Cyclic Loading Tests

In order to verify the feasibility of a new overallseismic reinforcement method of the framework. Firstly，carried low cyclic loading tests on reinforcedconcrete framework, then reinforced the framework with a new method, and repeatthe low cyclic loading tests , finally, compared and analyzed the data from twotests. Compared with the original framework, the shape of the hysteresis curveis more full and the skeleton curve of the parallel period is longer andthe ductility factor increased by 35% and the bearing capacity increased by 40%.The results show that reinforcement framework has better energy dissipationcapacity, ductility and transgender capacity.

Cyclic Loading Tests

Low-cyclic loading tests were carried on brick walls bonded with mud reinforced by three methods: packing belts, one-side steel-meshed cement mortar, and double-side steel-meshed cement mortar. The failure modes, hysteresis curves of the load-displacement, skeleton curves, and ductility were obtained. The results showed that the bearing capacity of the brick walls bonded with mud reinforced by the abovementioned three methods had been increased to 1.4, 1.7, and 2.2 times as much as that of the unreinforced brick walls, respectively, and the ductility of the reinforced brick walls had been increased to 4.7, 2.1 and 2.2 times, respectively. The integrity and ductility of the reinforced brick walls were effectively improved in different degrees. The experimental results provided specific seismic strengthening techniques for the farmhouses built with brick walls bonded with mud.

Push Out

Investigation of the load transfer of concrete plugs to tubular steel piles subjected to tension and compression and cyclic loading has been conducted at Monash University over the past 3 years. The work presented in this paper reports on the results of the combination of pull-out, push-out, and cyclic loading tests carried out on 15 steel tube specimens filled partially with reinforced concrete with variable lengths of embedment. The pull-out force was applied through steel reinforcing bars embedded in the concrete plug, and push-out forces were applied through a thick top circular plate on the top of the concrete plug. Test results included the cyclic loading, ultimate pull-out and push-out forces, slip of concrete plugs, and longitudinal and hoop strains along the piles for some specimens. The tests clearly showed that average bond strength significantly exceeds expectations and is higher than the results of previous investigations using plugs without reinforcement. The test results also indicated that cyclic loading tests reduced the bond strength due to the accumulation of damage to the plug–pile interface. The push-out and pull-out tests conducted under symmetric cyclic loading demonstrated that slip between the concrete plug and the steel tube increased with repeated loading, and the rate of slip growth increased with an increase in the peak load.Key words: tubular steel pile, reinforced concrete plug, bond, cyclic loading.

Dissipation System

A novel assembled self-centering variable friction (SCVF) brace is proposed which is composed of an energy dissipation system, a self-centering system, and a set of force transmission devices. The hysteretic characteristics and energy dissipation of the SCVF brace with various parameters from low-cyclic loading tests are presented. A finite element model was constructed and tested under simulated examination for comparative analysis. The results indicate that the brace shows an atypical flag-type hysteresis curve. The SCVF brace showed its stable self-centering ability and dissipation energy capacity within the permitted axial deformation under different spring and friction plates. A larger deflection of the friction plate will make the variable friction of this SCVF brace more obvious. A higher friction coefficient will make the energy dissipation capacity of the SCVF brace stronger, but the actual friction coefficient will be lower than the design value after repeated cycles. The results of the fatigue tests showed that the energy dissipation system formed by the ceramic fiber friction blocks and the friction steel plates in the SCVF brace has a certain stability. The finite element simulation results are essentially consistent with the obtained test results, which is conducive to the use of finite element software for calculation and structural analysis in actual engineering design.

This paper carries out a series of experimental study on 6 column specimens, analyses and compares with the different parameters on the axial loading tests of RC columns and RC columns strengthened with steel tube. The experimental results show that the RC columns strengthened with steel tube take full advantage of loading properties of both materials, thus greatly improve the bearing capacity of specimens. With the same wall thickness steel tube, the improving degree of bearing capacity of long columns is bigger than the short columns, and the reinforcement effect is more obvious. The experimental results can offer reference for scientific research and engineering staff, and promote this reinforcement method to be widely used in engineering practice.
