支撑屈服后屈曲约束支撑框架损伤集中效应分析

屈曲约束支撑(BRB)屈服后刚度较低,某一层或几层BRB率先屈服会造成屈曲约束支撑框架(BRBF)进入弹塑性阶段后不同楼层间刚度的突变,框架弯矩会重分布,进而影响框架的损伤机制。为此,提出框架基于柱端弯矩比的强柱弱梁计算公式,公式表明:当框架节点下部与上部柱端弯矩同号相等时,柱梁承载力比需求最小为1;当弯矩反向相等时,需求则为无穷大;通过分析楼层间BRB刚度比对两层BRBF弯矩分布的影响,说明BRBF中某层支撑屈服会导致该层节点下部与上部柱端弯矩比发生较大的改变,节点上部柱端弯矩甚至反向增大;综上,支撑屈服后BRBF易出现层间柱铰机制。最后,通过算例验证提出的强柱弱梁计算公式和BRBF弯矩分布规律,同时表明:当BRB-框架刚度比较大或者框架柱梁承载力比较小时,BRBF损伤集中效应较为明显。

Strength of circular concrete columns under concentric compression

An experimental study, in which six columns were loaded concentrically toinvestigate the behavior of reinforced normal strength and high strength circular columns underconcentric compression, is described. The concrete strengths of the columns were 30 MPa and 60 MPa.The primary variables considered were the concrete strength and the amount of transversereinforcement. Test results indicate that smaller hoop spacing provides higher column capacity andgreater strength enhancement in a confined concrete core of columns. For the same lateralconfinement, high strength concrete columns develop lower strength enhancement than normal strengthconcrete columns. Both the strength enhancement ratio (f'_(cc) /f'_(co)) and the column capacityratio (P_(test)/P_o) were observed to show linear increase variations with rho_s f_(yt)/f'_c incircular columns.

Unified bearing capacity model of confined concrete column subjected to axial compression

To better study the behavior of confined concrete, this paper presents the basic hypothesis of uhimate equilibrium of confined concrete and the unified yield criteria of confining material. Based on the static equilibrium condition and yield criteria of components, a unified bearing capacity model of confined concrete column is proposed, and a simplified calculating equation of the model is also given. The model captures the character of confined concrete column. Effects of the confinement effect ratio, the lateral confinement ratio, unconfined concrete strength and the properties of confining material on the bearing capacity of confined concrete column are carefully considered. The model may be applicable to the calculation of bearing capacity of steel-confined concrete, concrete filled steel tube and FRP-confined concrete. The predictions of the model agree well with test data.

Parametric analysis of thermal effect on hydrostatic slipper bearing capacity of axial piston pump

Hydrostatic slipper was often used in friction bearing design, allowing improvement of the latter's dynamic behavior. The influence of thermal effect on hydrostatic slipper bearing capacity of axial piston pump was investigated. A set of lumped parameter mathematical models were developed based on energy conservation law of slipper/ swash plate pair. The results show that thermal equilibrium clearance due to solid thermal deformation periodically changes with shaft rotational angle. The slipper bearing capacity increases dramatically with decreasing thermal equilibrium clearance. In order to improve the slipper bearing capacity, length-to-diameter ratio of fixed damper varies from 3.5 to 8.75 and radius ratio of slipper varies from 1.5 to 2.0. In addition, the higher slipper thermal conductivity is useful to improve slipper bearing capability, but the thermal equilibrium clearance is not compromised.

Mechanical Behavior of Rectangular Steel-Reinforced ECC/Concrete Composite Column under Eccentric Compression

In order to improve the seismic performance, deformation ability and ultimate load-carrying capacity of columns with rectangular cross section, engineered cementitious composite （ECC） is introduced to partially substitute concrete in the edge zone of reinforced concrete columns and form reinforced ECC/concrete composite columns. Firstly, based on the assumption of plane remaining plane and the simplified constitutive models, the calculation method of the load-carrying capacity of reinforced ECC/concrete columns is proposed. The stress and strain distribu- tions and crack propagation of the composite columns in different states of eccentric compressive loading are ana- lyzed. Then, nonlinear finite element analysis is conducted to study the mechanical performance of reinforced ECC/concrete composite columns with rectangular cross section. It is found that the simulation results are in good agreement with the theoretical results, indicating that the proposed method for calculating the load-carrying capacity of concrete/ECC composite columns is valid. Finally, based on the proposed method, the effects of ECC thickness, com- pressive strength of concrete and longitudinal reinforcement ratio on the mechanical performance of reinforced ECC/ concrete composite columns are analyzed. Calculation results indicate that increasing the thickness of ECC layer or longitudinal reinforcement ratio can effectively increase the ultimate load-carrying capacity of the composite column with both small and large eccentricity, but increasing the strength of concrete can only increase the ultimate Ioad- carrying capacity of the composite column with small eccentricity.

Experimental study on soil improvement with stone columns and granular blankets

Stone column is one of the soil stabilizing methods that is used to increase bearing capacity and decrease the settlement of soft soils.Reinforced and unreinforced granular blankets are now being utilized to overcome the problems of soft soils.In this research,the bearing capacity of stone columns,granular blanket,and a combination of both methods in reinforced and unreinforced modes were studied using scaled physical models.Results show that using granular blanket,stone column,and combination of both improves bearing capacity of soft soils.Using geogrid as the reinforcement of granular blankets and geotextile as stone-column encasement increases the efficiency of granular blankets and stone columns significantly.Additionally,in the case of using geotextile around the stone column,the stress concentration ratio of the stone column will increase as well as its rigidity and bearing capacity.

Research and optimization on laminated steel tube column-concrete beam joints with outer stiffening ring

In practical design,the joints with outer stiffening ring were used to connect concrete beams and laminated steel tube columns.The seismic behavior of joints with outer stiffening ring with various types was studied based on experiments.The bearing capacity,rigidity,ductility,energy dissipation capacity,deformation property and strain distribution of the joints with outer stiffening ring with various types were comprehensively evaluated based on the test results of three specimens under quasistatic cyclic loading and finite element analysis.The test results showed that the failure mode,hysteretic behavior,bearing capacity and rigidity degradation of the joints with outer stiffening ring with various types were nearly identical.Furthermore,the strain distribution of the outer stiffening ring of the three joints was nearly the same.The detailing recommendation for the outer strengthening rings was proposed for the concrete beam-laminated steel tube column joints with outer stiffening ring,in order to ensure the good seismic capacity of the joints.
