Seven 1 : 3 scale model SRC beams were tested to failure. The experimental results indicate that the flexural strength increases with the increase of the ratio of flexural reinforcement and the thickness of flange of the shape steel; the shear strength increases with the increase in the thickness of the web of the shape steel. Concrete filled in the box shape steel can prevent the early failure of specimens due to the buckling of the box shape steel, and increase the ultimate load. Measures should be made to strengthen the connection and co-work between the shape steel and the concrete. Formulae for flexural and shear strength of the composite beams are proposed, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results. In general, the box shape SRC beam is a kind of ductile member, and it is suitable for extensive engineering application.展开更多

The failure types, performing characteristics and failure mechanism of the composite specimens were investigated in detail. The influence of different ratio of CFRP on bearing capacity, loading-strain curves, compound modulus, rigidity and ductility of the composite specimens was analyzed. The experimental results indicate that the composite specimen can work harmonically and the steel plate does not break in tension. Comparing with steel plate, the bearing capacity and the rigidity of the composite specimens increase and ductility decreases. The bearing capacity increases sharply with the increase in the number of layers of CFRP. With the increase in CFRP, the yield strength increases slightly and ductility decreases. The experimental researches can provide a theoretical basis for engineering application of combination strengthening.展开更多

Test results show that the bending failures may occur under the ultimate load carrying capacity of members,compared with the calculating results of non-corrosion channel steel beam,and the bearing capacity of corroded channel steel beam is reduced,while the deflection is increased. With the increase of shear-span ratio,the bearing capacity of corroded channel steel beam reduces and the deflection increases gradually; with the increment of heightspan ratio, the bearing capacity increases and the deflection decreases gradually; with the enhancement of width-height ratio,the bearing capacity reduces and the deflection-span ratio increases gradually. The measured results indicate that the load-deflection relationship curves of corroded channel steel beam may be divided into four sections: the exfoliated rust layer stage,the elastic stage,the yielding stage and the descending stage. The load-strain relationship curves include two sections: the elastic stage and the yielding stage. The strain measurement of web proves that the average strains agree well with the assumption of plane section. This paper could provide some scientific bases for the maintenance and reinforcement of the corroded steel structure.展开更多

The strain cyclic characteristics were researched under the strain-controlled uniaxial tension-compression and multiaxial circular paths of loading. The ratcheting tests were conducted for the stress-controlled uniaxial tension-compression and multiaxial circular, rhombic and linear paths of loading with different mean stresses, stress amplitudes and histories. The experiment results show that 316L stainless steel features the cyclic hardening, and its strain cyclic characteristics depend on the strain amplitude and its history apparently. The ratcheting of 316L stainless steel depends greatly on the Values of mean stress, stress amplitude and their histories. In the meantime, the shape of load path and its history also apparently influence the ratcheting.展开更多

The potential sweep rates were changed to achieve the PANI film with different thickness and structures. Protective properties of the PANI film for corrosion of stainless steel in 3% NaCl aqueous solution were investigated by monitoring potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed that the PANI film which was formed with lower sweep rate led to more positive shift of corrosion potential and greater charge transfer resistance, reflecting higher inhibition for corrosion of the stainless steel.展开更多

The specimens include one traditional welded flange-bolted web connection, one traditional fully welded connection, four beam flange strengthened connections, three beam flange weakened connections, and one through-diaphragm connection. The test results show that the connections with flange cover plates or with partly cut beam flanges satisfy the beam plastic rotation demand for ductile MRFs. From the measured stress profiles along the beam flange and beam web depth, the mechanics of brittle fracture at the end of the beam is discussed. Design recommendations for steel beam-to-column moment connections are proposed.展开更多

It is suggested that a dynamic recovery occurred around the prepared crack tip even at a low explosion pressure (5 GPa) because of the stress and strain concentration at the crack tip when shock waves pass through. This result supports the previous work on the improved mechanical properties of a shock treated welded joint with residual crack from the viewpoint of microstructure.展开更多

Then protective role decreases and corrosive rate increases with the lapse of immersion time. The protective role of some macrofouling organisms is shown in order as follows: Corophium> Balanus reticulatus>Algae>Membranipora>Ostrea plicatula.展开更多
