8 plate-reinforced connections are manufactured at 1/2 scale and then tested under low-cyclic loadings to study their hysteretic behavior, and numerical simultation with ANSYS are applied based on the experimental results. Failure patterns, energy dissipation, hysteretic behavior and skeleton curves are comparatively studied by changing the dimensions of the reinforced plates. Results show:(1)the plastic hinge be formed 1/3-1/4 beam depth from the end of reinforced plate and is obvious, there are serious local buckling in the flange and web, and there is no fracture in the beam-to-column welding;(2)The geometric parameters of reinforced plate have important effect to the bearing capacity and ductility of connections. With the increase of length and thickness of reinforced plate, the bearing capacity increases and hysteretic behavior and ductility factor decreases;(3)When the length of reinforced plate is bigger than the design requirements, there is brittle failure in the panel zone, which lead to decrease of capacity of energy dissipation and equivalent viscous damp coefficient;(4)Recommended parameter scope: the recommended length of reinforced plate(flange-plate and cover-plate) is defined as 0.5-0.8 times beam depth, the recommended thickness of flange-plate is 1.2-1.4 times flange and the recommended thickness of cover-plate is 0.7-1.2 times flange.

14 models of plate-reinforced connections are analyzed by finite element software ANSYS. Failure mode, hysteretic behavior, ductility and energy dissipation capacity are comparatively studied. Results show that plastic hinge formed at the end of the reinforced plate, hysteretic cruves are full and the connections have good ductility. With the increase in length and thickness of the reinforced plate, bearing capacity increases while hysteretic behavior and ductility factor decrease. If the reinforced plate is longer than the length that design requires, brittle failure occurs in the panel zone. The recommended length of the reinforced plate is defined as 0.5-0.8 times of beam depth, the thickness of flange-plate is 1.2-1.4 times of flange thickness and the thickness of cover-plate is 0.7-1.2 times of flange thickness.

The focus of this research program is T-shaped CFT central column to steel frame beam connection. 3 joints with strong columns-weak beams and 1 joint with strong beams-weak columns 1:2 scale specimens were tested under constant axial loads and cyclic horizontal loads. Overall impact of axial force ratio and beam to column linear stiffness ratio on joint failure mechanism, hysteretic behavior, deformation ductility, and energy dissipation capability was investigated. Results showed that the failure mechanism for specimens with strong columns-weak beams was local buckling of the steel beam flanges and formation of the plastic hinges. There was minimum damage on the concrete column and joint panel zone. For a specimen with strong beams-weak columns, there was local buckling fracture on steel tube above and below the joint panel zone. Crushing of the core concrete was also observed with formation of the column hinges. It was found that both axial forces and beam to column linear stiffness ratio had impacts on joint capacity and ductility behavior of the specimens. Experiment results showed that the joint models had deformation ductility factor between 3.39 and 3.91 and viscous damping ratio between 0.46 and 0.51.

This paper studies the effect of high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) on the axial compression behavior of rectangular-sectional SFRC-filled steel tube columns. The purpose is to improve the integrated bearing capacity of these composite columns. Nine rectangular-sectional SFRC-filled steel tube columns and one normal concrete-filled steel tube column were designed and tested under axial loading to failure. The compressive strength of concrete, the volume fraction of steel fiber, the type of internal longitudinal stiffener and the spacing of circular holes in perfobond rib were considered as the main parameters. The failure modes, axial load-deformation curves, energy dissipation capacity, axial bearing capacity, and ductility index are presented. The results identified that steel fiber delayed the local buckling of steel tube and increased the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the columns when the volume fraction of steel fiber was not less than 0.8%. The longitudinal internal stiffening ribs and their type changed the failure modes of the local buckling of steel tube, and perfobond ribs increased the ductility and energy dissipation capacity to some degree. The compressive strength of SFRC failed to change the failure modes, but had a significant impact on the energy dissipation capacity, bearing capacity, and ductility. The predictive formulas for the bearing capacity and ductility index of rectangular-sectional SFRC-filled steel tube columns are proposed to be used in engineering practice.

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.

Due to the insufficient radial stiffness of the steel tube, the cracking of the weld and the plastic deformation of the string often occur under the cyclic loading of the hollow section pipe joint. In order to avoid such a failure, the overlapped K-joints were strengthened by pouring different concrete into the chords. Furthermore, to explore the detailed effect of filling different concrete in a chord on the hysteretic behavior of the overlapped K-joints, six full-scale specimens were fabricated by two forms, which included the circular chord and braces, the square chord and circular braces, and the low cyclic loading tests, which were carried out. The failure modes, hysteretic curves and skeleton curves of the joints were obtained, and the bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation of the joints were evaluated quantitatively. The results showed that plastic failure occurs on the surface of the chord of the joints without filling concrete, while the failure mode of the joints filled with concrete in the chords was the tensile failure of the chords at the weld of the brace toe, and the compressive braces had a certain buckling deformation; The strengthening measures of concrete filled with chord can effectively improve the mechanical properties of the K-joints, the delay of the plastic deformation of the chord, and improve the bearing capacity of the K-joints. Contrarily, the ductility coefficient and the energy dissipation ratio of K-joints decreased with the concrete filled in the chord. The hysteretic behavior of the K-joints with a circular chord and brace was slightly better than that of the K-joints with a square chord and circular brace, and the hysteretic behavior of the K-joints strengthened with fly ash concrete, which was better than that of the K-joints strengthened with ordinary concrete. The results of ANSYS (a large general finite element analysis software developed by ANSYS Company in the United States) analysis agreed well with the experimental results.

Hysteretic Performance

Overall 12 specimens were experimentally investigated in this paper to study the hysteretic behaviors of the concrete-filled square CFRP-steel tubular (S-CFRP-CFST) beam-columns. The test results indicated that CFRP can provide transverse confinement effect and longitudinal strengthening effect for the concrete filled square steel tubular (S-CFST) beam-columns effectively and the local buckling of the steel tube is deferred. The hysteretic load-deflection curves and the hysteretic moment-curvature curves at the mid-span of all the specimens are generally plump, and it shows these specimens have good hysteretic performance. In the later loading period, the load bearing capacity drops.

Seismic Behaviors

According to the poorly seismic behaviors of composite staggered trusses system, an improved composite staggered trusses system was proposed. Based on the experimental study of a 1/3 scale improved composite staggered truss frame steel structure model under cyclic loading, the seismic behaviors and failure mechanism was studied, and the seismic behaviors was evaluated by the hysteretic behavior, ductility, energy dissipation and rigidity degeneration. The study showed that the improved composite staggered truss steel structures had the advantages in bearing capacity, ductility, deformability and energy dissipation, but the lateral rigidity was weak and non-uniform along its vertical layout. The stress measurement showed that the plastic hinge formed in the web members of the truss firstly, then, in the chord members of the truss, and finally the plastic hinges formed in the column, earthquake energy mostly dissipated by the truss members, the failure mechanism of the improved composite staggered truss steel structures was the beam hinges failure mechanism.

Recycled concrete is a kind of new construction materials, and now received more and more attention from researchers and engineers, since its application in engineering projects can well cater to the increasing requirements of development for economic and environment-friendly society. Based on the pseudo static test of five recycled reinforcement concrete frame columns with different experimental axial compression ratios from 0.3 to 0.65, their failure modes, failure mechanism, hysteretic behavior, skeleton curves, bearing capacity, rigidity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity were discussed. Some possible influence factors and disciplines were also selected and analyzed. The study indicates that recycled reinforcement concrete frame columns in the case of relative low axial compression ratios usually exhibited similar and steady mechanical properties with common concrete columns. With the increase of axial compression ratio, its ductility and energy dissipation capacity are decreased and destruction forms tended to obvious brittle fracture, though its bearing capacity could slightly rise. The test results and analysis also manifest recycled concrete had expectative application potentials in most case.

This study proposed a beam-to-column joint equipped with a new type of cast steel connector. The cast steel connector concentrated the primary portion of the deformation and energy dissipation of the joint and was installed with full bolted connections, rendering it a replaceable energy dissipation component and facilitating the rapid repair of the joint after an earthquake. Three full-scale specimens were fabricated and tested to investigate the hysteretic behaviors of the proposed joints under cyclic loadings. The results showed that the proposed cast steel connector exhibited reliable ductility and energy dissipation capacity. The beam-to-column joints with cast steel connectors under appropriate configuration can limit the deformation to the cast steel connector and protect the remaining joint components from plastic deformation. A more detailed finite element analysis was performed to investigate the hysteretic behavior of the joint further. The FEM results illustrated that the thickness of the vertical leg of the cast steel connector can significantly influence the stiffness and bearing capacity of the joint. Meantime, it would improve the hysteretic behavior effectively. The proposed beam-to-column joints with cast steel connectors can achieve the requirement of stiffness and load-bearing capacity and can be widely applicable in practical engineering.
