Abstract Currently, the steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is commonly used in high-rise steel buildings as a lateral load resisting system. The SPSW consists of the boundary frame and infill plate. The objectives of this work are to study the effect of same weight different infill plate types, the effect of boundary frame characteristics, and the effect of infill plate weld separation on the seismic behavior of the SPSWs. A numerical method was proposed to have a comprehensive comparison of seismic behaviors of different types of SPSWs, having the same weight. The model was validated by using previously published numerical and experimental works. The study covers unstiffened (USPSW), stiffened (SSPSW), and corrugated steel plate shear wall (CSPSW). Similarly, the effect of boundary frame stiffness and welding separation characteristics between the plate and boundary frame will be studied, and key issues, such as load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and energy-dissipation capacity were discussed deeply. It was found that the SSPSW has better seismic behavior than USPSW and CSPSW. SSPSW has a higher load-carrying capacity than USPSW, and CSPSW by about 14, 24%, respectively. USPSW is more sensitive to the stiffness of the boundary frame than CSPSW. The plate welding separation has a greater impact on the initial stiffness than load-carrying capacity. When plate-column welding separation occurs, the initial stiffness, and the energy dissipation capacity reduces by about 21%, and 14%. Whereas, when the plate-beam separation occurs, the initial stiffness and energy dissipation capacity reduce by about 36%, and 20.5%.

Flexural Bearing Capacity

PurposeThe flexural reinforcement of bridges in-service has been an important research field for a long time. Anchoring steel plate at the bottom of beam is a simple and effective method to improve its bearing capacity. The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of anchoring steel plates of different thicknesses on the bearing capacity of hollow slab beam and to judge its working status.Design/methodology/approachFirst, static load experiments are carried out on two in-service RC hollow slab beams; meanwhile, nonlinear finite element models are built to study the bearing capacity of them. The nonlinear material and shear slip effect of studs are considered in the models. Second, the finite element models are verified, and the numerical simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. Finally, the finite element models are adopted to carry out the research on the influence of different steel plate thicknesses on the flexural bearing capacity and ductility.FindingsWhen steel plates of different thicknesses are adopted to reinforce RC hollow slab beams, the bearing capacity increases with the increase of the steel plate thickness in a certain range. But when the steel plate thickness reaches a certain level, bearing capacity is no longer influenced. The displacement ductility coefficient decreases with the increase of steel plate thickness.Originality/valueBased on experimental study, this paper makes an extrapolation analysis of the bearing capacity of hollow slab beams reinforced with steel plates of different thicknesses through finite element simulation and discusses the influence on ductility. This method not only ensures the accuracy of bearing capacity evaluation but also does not need many samples, which is economical to a certain extent. The research results provide a basis for the reinforcement design of similar bridges.

In this study, two types of novel box connections were developed to connect precast concrete (PC) columns and to ensure load transfer integrity. Cyclic loading tests were conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of the PC columns with proposed connections as well as the feasibility and reliability of novel box connections. The failure mode, hysteretic behavior, bearing capacity, ductility, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation were obtained and discussed. The test results indicated that the all PC columns exhibited the ductile flexural failure mode and that the proposed connections could transfer the force effectively. The adoption of novel box connections could improve the deformation capacity and energy dissipation capacity of PC columns. A higher axial compression ratio could enhance the bearing capacity of PC column with proposed connection but would significantly deteriorate the ductility and energy dissipation capacity. Finite element models were developed and the feasibility of the models was verified by the comparison with the test results.

Based on the low cyclic loading experiments on three interior joints with specially shaped columns, in which one of them was reinforced by polypropylene fiber in the core zone of joint, another steel fiber, the other was not reinforced, the authors compare the results in terms of damage characteristic, bearing capacity, displacement and ductility, hysteretic curve of the moment-rotation, rigidity degradation and energy dissipation. It is shown that seismic behavior of specially shaped column interior joints reinforced by fiber is improved significantly. The interior joint of specially shaped column reinforced by polypropylene fiber has a better damage characteristic and energy dissipation while that by steel fiber shows a higher yield load and bearing capacity.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) has many good dynamic performances such as toughness and ductility. However, few studies have focused on SFRC’s application in bearing member of bridge structures. In this paper, pseudo-static cyclic tests of eight pier specimens are carried out to investigate seismic behavior of piers using SFRC. The main variables in the testing are the steel fiber content (volume fraction of 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%), the length of SFRC region and the stirrup ratio of piers. Seismic behavior of the test specimens, like the failure pattern, the hysteretic characteristics, the skeleton curves, the ductility and the energy dissipation are investigated experimentally. The results show that, 1) the SFRC pier with the steel fiber volume fraction of 1.0% has much better performance than that with other fiber volume contents, particularly for bearing capacity, hysteretic energy dissipation and ductility; 2) the pier specimen can keep sufficient seismic capacity, in which some stirrups are replaced by steel fibers; and 3) compared with specimen with application of SFRC in entire pier, the specimen with appropriate local application of SFRC in potential plastic hinge region can sustain almost the same seismic properties, such as the ultimate bearing capacity, the stiffness, the ductility and the energy dissipation capacity.

In view of the proposal of embedded steel plate concrete shear wall with concrete filled steel tube columns which contains a new kind shear connector of tie-bars through the circular holes linking concrete layers on both sides of the plate. In order to prove the seismic performance of walls with circular holes on the plate, three steel plate shear wall specimens, including the plate without holes bolted with columns, welded with columns, and the perforated plate welded with columns, were tested under cyclic loading. According to the results, the load-bearing capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, hysteretic behavior and failure phenomena were analyzed. It is showed that the load-bearing capacity of the three specimens were quite close. However, the wall with perforated steel plate has better ductility, energy dissipation and hysteretic behavior. So, it is an effective way to improve the seismic performance of walls by means of embedded perforated steel plate instead of ordinary ones.

Energy Dissipated

A novel steel box bridge pier with replaceable energy dissipation wall plates at the base was proposed. After moderate earthquakes, the damaged energy dissipation wall plates and constraining steel plates on the two sides could be rapidly replaced, while the entire energy-dissipated column at the base can also be replaced after rare earthquakes. In this way, the seismic capacity of the new type of steel box bridge pier could be restored after earthquakes. For the purpose of discussing the seismic performance of this novel steel box-shaped bridge pier, the pseudostatic test and numerical simulation were performed. The results showed that the failure of the specimens in the pseudostatic tests occurred predominantly in the energy dissipation zone at the base. After replacing the damaged energy-dissipated column at the base, the seismic behavior of the proposed steel bridge pier can be recovered rapidly. Axial compression ratio is an important factor influencing the seismic behavior of the novel steel box bridge pier. The strength of the energy dissipation wall plates influences the novel steel box-shaped bridge pier’s bearing capacity and deformation capacity. Spacing between the horizontal stiffening ribs had little impact on the bearing capacity and deformation capacity of the proposed steel bridge pier. The larger the thickness of the energy dissipation wall plate, the higher the bearing capacity and deformation capacity of the steel box bridge pier. Finally, an empirical equation for the design of this novel steel bridge pier under cyclic loading was proposed.

Displacement Threshold

This study proposed a developed horizontal-connection and energy-dissipation structure (HES), which could be employed for horizontal connection of prefabricated shear wall structural system. The HES consists of an external replaceable energy dissipation (ED) zone mainly for energy dissipation and an internal stiffness lifting (SL) zone for enhancing the load-bearing capacity. By the predicted displacement threshold control device, the ED zone made in bolted low-yielding steel plates could firstly dissipate the energy and can be replaced after damage, the SL zone could delay the load-bearing and the load-displacement curves of the HES would exhibit “double-step” characteristics. Detailed finite element models are established and validated in software ABAQUS. parametric analysis including aspect ratio, the shape of the steel plate in the ED zone and the displacement threshold in the SL zone, is conducted. It is found that the HES depicts high energy dissipation ability and its bearing capacity could be obtained again after the yielding of the ED zone. The optimized X-shaped steel plate in the ED zone exhibit better performance. The “double-step” design of the HES is a potential way of improving the seismic and anti-collapsing performance of prefabricated shear wall structures against large and super-large earthquakes.
