A composite of FRP–recycled aggregate concrete (RAC)–steel column (FRSC), consisting of an outer FRP tube, an inner steel tube and annular RAC fi lled between two tubes, is proposed herein to facilitate green disposal of demolished concrete and to improve the ductility of concrete columns for earthquake resistance. To better understand the seismic behavior of FRSCs, quasi-static tests of large-scale basalt FRSCs with shear connectors were conducted. The infl uence of the recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage, shear connectors and axial loading method on the lateral load and deformation capacity, energy dissipation and cumulative damage were analyzed to evaluate the seismic behavior of FRSCs. The test results show that FRSCs have good seismic behavior, which was evidenced by high lateral loads, excellent ductility and energy dissipation capacity, indicating RAC is applicable in FRSCs. Shear connectors can signifi cantly postpone the steel buckling and increase the lateral loads of FRSCs, but weaken the deformation capacity and energy dissipation performance.展开更多

The test variables are chosen to be the diameter and number of dowel holes and, the change in the shear strength of the perfobond rib connector is examined with respect to the strength of two types of UHPC: steel fiber-reinforced concrete with compressive strength of 180 MPa and concrete without steel fiber with compressive strength of 80 MPa. The test results reveal that higher concrete strength and larger number of holes increased the shear strength, and that higher increase rate in the shear strength was achieved by the dowel action. The comparison with the predictions obtained by the previous models shows that the experimental results are close to the values given by the model proposed by Oguejiofor and Hosain [1].展开更多

文摘预制构件连接方法及其界面剪切性能影响整个输电铁塔装配式基础的受力和变形.针对螺栓连接易松动、变形大之类的问题,提出采用高强灌浆料灌注成形的十字形抗剪键作为输电铁塔装配式基础连接方案.采用室内剪切试验和数值模拟,研究该抗剪键连接的剪切性能,并与常用的螺栓连接进行对比分析.结果表明:十字形抗剪键剪切破坏模式为剪断型脆性破坏,破坏形态表现为以抗剪键为中心向外略有扩展成菱形.和螺栓连接相比,抗剪键连接的剪切强度略低,但剪切刚度显著提高.浇筑过程中灌浆料外溢对界面抗剪强度有提高作用.抗剪键的抗剪性能与灌浆料强度正相关,但提高灌浆料强度对抗剪性能提升并不明显.抗剪键深度对抗剪性能有影响,但在抗剪键深度超过20 mm后,抗剪键的抗剪性能不再提高.根据剪切试验和数值模拟结果,建议十字形抗剪键设计为长200 mm、宽20 mm、深20 mm.
