The present research study aims to investigate numerically the behavior of steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRHC) beam–column joints (BCJs) under seismic action. Based on the plastic damage constitutive model of concrete and elastic–plastic mixed-strengthen constitutive model of steel material, the finite element software ABAQUS was utilized to establish the 3D finite element (FE) model of BCJs. Additionally, the feasibility and accuracy of the numerical simulation were verified by comparing the computed results and experimental observations in terms of the hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, and failure mode. Furthermore, based on the validated FE modeling approach, load vs. displacement hysteresis curves of SFRHC–BCJs during the loading process were analyzed in detail; the failure process was also investigated. Furthermore, the effect of various parameters on the seismic behavior of BCJs was analyzed comprehensively, including the concrete strength, the volume ratio of steel fiber, and the stirrup ratio in the core area. Finally, parametric studies illustrated that increasing the concrete strength helps in enhancing the ultimate load, while the ductility decreased noticeably. Both adding the steel fiber and increasing the stirrup ratio can significantly improve the seismic performance of BCJs.

Based on the fatigue test, 8 steel fiber reinforced high-strength concrete beams are studied, the influencing factors of crack width are discussed in the paper, and the calculation method of crack width under fatigue load is investigated. Based on the analysis of test results, the formulas are put forward. The results show that adding steel fiber into the high-strength concrete beams can prevent the development of the fatigue crack, fatigue crack widths are decreased by 26.0%~121.0% and the calculated values have good agreement with test date.

Through the three-point bending test on the specimens of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC), the effects of influencing factors including water-cement ratio (W/C) and the fiber volume fraction (ρf) upon the critical value(JC) of J integral were studied. The results show that the variation tendencies of JC are different under different factors. JC meets the linear statistical relation with W/C, ρf, respectively.

This paper investigates the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of ultra high strength concrete containing steel fiber. The steel fibers were added at the volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0% and 1.5%. The compressive strength of the steel fiber reinforced ultra high strength concrete (SFRC) reached a maximum at 0.75% volume fraction, being a 15.5% improvement over the UHSC. The splitting tensile strength of the SFRC improved with increasing the volume fraction, achieving 91.9% improvements at 1.5% volume fraction. Strength models were established to predict the compressive and splitting tensile strengths of the SFRC. The models give predictions matching the measurements. Conclusions can be drawn that the marked brittleness with low tensile strength and strain capacities of ultra high strength concrete (UHSC) can be overcome by the addition of steel fibers.

Through the three-point bending test on the specimens of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFHSC) and plain high strength concrete (HSC) with the size of 100 mm×100 mm×515 mm, the effects of influencing factors including the fiber volume fraction (ρf) and relative notch depth (a/W) upon the fracture energy and the work of applied force (gravity and external force) were studied. The results show that the effect of ρf upon the fracture energy is more obvious; the variation tendencies for the increment ratio of the fracture energy and that of the work of applied force are different under different factors; the fracture energy is dependent on the work of external force. Based on the test results, the formula was established for calculating the fracture energy.
