摘要
In order to avoid brittle fracture failure, a ductile engineered cementitious composite （ECC） was attempted in steel/concrete connection zones to replace normal concrete. The influence of the ECC material ductility on connection failure modes and structural performance was investigated via the pushout test of stud/ECC connection, the pullout test of two-dimensional anchor bolt/ECC connection and the finite element modeling （FEM）. The experimental results suggest that the micromechanically designed ECC with a tensile ductility 300 times that of normal concrete switches the brittle fracture failure mode to a ductile one in steel connection zones. This modification in material behavior leads to higher load carrying capacity and structural ductility, which is also confirmed in FEM investigation. The enhancement in structural response through material ductility engineering is expected to be applicable to a wide range of engineering structures where steel and concrete come into contact.
为了避免混凝土的脆性断裂破坏,在钢/混凝土连接区域中用高延性水泥基材料(ECC)代替了普通混凝土. 采用剪力键/ECC 的抗剪试验、二维锚固螺栓/ECC 拔出试验和有限元模拟研究了 ECC 材料的延性对于连接区域破坏模式、结构性能的影响. 实验结果表明: 通过微观力学原理设计的 ECC 具有 300 倍于普通混凝土的拉伸延性,从而使钢/混凝土连接区中混凝土断裂破坏模式由脆性转变为延性. 混凝土材料的高延性使结构承载能力和变形性能获得改善,这也同时为有限元模拟结果所验证. 通过改变混凝土材料延性而提高结构性能的理念也可在其他类似的钢/混凝土组合结构中得到应用.
