The design of steel column base plays a very important role in steel structure design. Through large-scale analysis software ANSYS, this paper analyzes the steel column base by finite element numerical simulation nonlinear analysis,and discuss the fracture behavior and restoring force characteristics of steel pipe column in different thickness and axial compression ratio,and the link between the two. The results showed that, (1) the section of most likely break focus on the bottom of vertical load plane in the middle of the steel column base. (2) with the increase of thickness, anti-cracking ability increased gradually.(3) Axial compression ratio of the specimen has little effect for anti-cracking ability relatively. (4) With the increase of anti-cracking ability, the seismic behavior of specimens gets heightened.

This article researches seismic performance of the joint of cellular steel column and steel beam through simulation of the finite element software. With the change of axial force, we can attain the load-displacement hysteretic curves, skeleton curves under the different axial compression ratio, and then analyze their bearing capacity, ductility, energy dissipation and other mechanical properties. Results show that, the decrease of axial compression ratio is helpful to improve the bearing capacity of specimens. The joints of cellular steel column and steel beam have full hysteretic curve, good ductility and seismic performance.

This paper uses the large-scale finite element analysis software ABAQUS to simulate 12 cross steel reinforced concrete special-shaped columns with the control variables of axial compression ratio and rate of steel bone, and subjected to the monotonic load with 20mm horizontal displacement. 6 columns work under the different axial compression ratio of 0.0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8. Other 6 columns are made of different rates of steel bone with different steel bone thickness of 0mm, 2mm, 4mm and 6mm, 8mm and 10mm, and subject to vertical axial force in axial compression ratio of 0.3. By simulating, we obtain the load - displacement curve of different axial compression ratios and different rates of steel bone, and analyze the effect of the bearing capacity of the cross steel reinforced concrete special-shaped columns in different parameters. The results show that the bearing capacities of the columns decrease with the increasing ratio of axial compression, and increase with the increasing rate of steel bone.

The local series system with typical common plate rubber support/pier in highway reinforced concrete girder bridge is the object of the current research. The finite element numerical simulation method is used to study sensitive parameters – the mechanical properties of the series system under the horizontal load. The simulated results show that the interface bonding strength between the bearing and adjacent structure is reduced; the equivalent shear deformation and the horizontal force of bearing under horizontal load change insignificantly with the increase of horizontal displacement. However, the total shear deformation and equivalent shear deformation increase with the increase of the axial compression ratio. In addition, the top horizontal force and displacement of the pier significantly decrease with reduction of the connection strength at both ends of the bearing. Therefore, adjusting the axial compression ratio of the pier and interfacial connection mode can obviously affect the mechanical properties of the support and adjacent structure, even the failure mode of the local structure. This approach can help estimate the mechanical properties of the existing bridge and determine the reasonable maintenance plan.

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is a novel material of concrete, which has a great potential to be used in practical engineering. Based on the finite element software Opensees, the main objective of this paper presented a numerical simulation method on investigating the seismic behavior of SFRC–beam-column joints (BCJs) through modifying the calculation method of joint shear and longitudinal reinforcement slip deformations. The feasibility and accuracy of the numerical modeling method were verified by comparing the computed results with experimental data in terms of the hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, feature points, energy dissipation, and stiffness degradation. And then, the influences of some key parameters on the seismic behavior of BCJs were investigated and discussed in detail. The parametric studies clearly illustrated that both adding the steel fiber and increasing the stirrup amount of joint core area could significantly improve the seismic behavior of BCJs. The axial compression ratio had limited influence on the seismic behavior of BCJs. Finally, based on the main factors (steel fiber volume ratio, stirrup amount, and axial compression ratio), a formula for predicting ultimate shear capacity is derived.

The cold-formed square steel tubular with light weight has better seismic behavior and is suitable for construction in the area with high seismic fortification intensity. The reliability of joint connection greatly influence the safety reliability of structure, which’s restoring force characteristics under low cyclic loading need to be further researched. The finite element software ANSYS is used to do the research between two welded joints. The results show that : (1)Compared with typical welded joint, the ultimate bearing capacity of improved joint increase much, hysteretic curve is more plump, energy dissipation capacity enhance and stiffness degradation is slow. (2) Axial compression ratio has great influence on hysteretic behavior, bearing capacity and stiffness of common welded joints; however, there is a little effect on improved joint’s bearing capacity and stiffness. (3) After improved, the yield of joint has a longer yield platform, and under the same axial compression ratio condition, its yielding and ultimate load both obviously superior to common welded joints.

Introduction: Based on FEM program ABAQUS, three-dimensional numerical models of a fabricated connection of concrete-filled steel column to steel beam under low-reversed cyclic loading were established by considering both nonlinearity of material and geometry. Effects of stiffen ring plate, axial compression ratio and backing plate on the hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, ductility coefficient and energy dissipation coefficient were analyzed respectively. Methods: Furthermore, parametric analyses with comparison were also conducted to discuss the mechanical characteristics and damage mechanism of the fabricated connection. Results: The results show that there are clear stress concentrations near the area of bolt holes in beam flange. The increase in width of ring plate and the shape change of ring plate from square to circle can both improve the ductility and the characteristics of hysteretic behavior. Besides, the backing plates have positive effects on the hysteretic characteristics, ductility and energy dissipation of the CFST column connections. Oppositely, the increase in axial compression ratio contributes negatively to both the bearing capacity and deformation performance of the connection specimens. Conclucion: It can be concluded that the fabricated connection displays good working performance relating to hysteretic characteristics, energy dissipation and ductility, which can be hopefully applied and provide reference to engineering practice.

Four specially shaped columns with HRB500 reinforcement were tested under low cyclic loading. The hysteretic curve, yield load, ultimate load, displacement ductility and rigidity degradation were compared in order to research the effect of axial compression ratio on ductility and bearing capacity of specially shaped column with HRB500 reinforcement. It is shown that the axial compression ratio has greater influence on ductility and bearing capacity. With the increase of axial compression ratio, the bearing capacity of HRB500 reinforcement concrete specially shaped column can be enhanced while the deformation capacity becomes worse. The hysteretic characteristic of specially shaped columns with HRB500 reinforcement is improved and the stiffness degeneration becomes slow with the decrease of axial compression ratio.
