Analysis and seismic tests of composite shear walls with CFST columns and steel plate deep beams

A composite shear wall concept based on concrete filled steel tube （CFST） columns and steel plate （SP） deep beams is proposed and examined in this study. The new wall is composed of three different energy dissipation elements： CFST columns; SP deep beams; and reinforced concrete （RC） strips. The RC strips are intended to allow the core structural elements - the CFST columns and SP deep beams - to work as a single structure to consume energy. Six specimens of different configurations were tested under cyclic loading. The resulting data are analyzed herein. In addition, numerical simulations of the stress and damage processes for each specimen were carried out, and simulations were completed for a range of location and span-height ratio variations for the SP beams. The simulations show good agreement with the test results. The core structure exhibits a ductile yielding mechanism characteristic of strong column-weak beam structures, hysteretic curves are plump and the composite shear wall exhibits several seismic defense lines. The deformation of the shear wall specimens with encased CFST column and SP deep beam design appears to be closer to that of entire shear walls. Establishing optimal design parameters for the configuration of SP deep beams is pivotal to the best seismic behavior of the wall. The new composite shear wall is therefore suitable for use in the seismic design of building structures.

Lateral load-carrying capacity analyses of composite shear walls with double steel plates and filled concrete with binding bars

A method is developed to predict the lateral load-carrying capacity of composite shear walls with double steel plates and filled concrete with binding bars(SCBs). Nonlinear finite element models of SCBs were established by using the finite element tool, Abaqus. Tie constraints were used to connect the binding bars and the steel plates. Surface-to-surface contact provided by the Abaqus was used to simulate the interaction between the steel plate and the core concrete. The established models could predict the lateral load-carrying capacity of SCBs with a reasonable degree of accuracy. A calculation method was developed by superposition principle to predict the lateral load-carrying capacity of SCBs for the engineering application. The concrete confined by steel plates and binding bars is under multi-axial compression; therefore, its shear strength was calculated by using the Guo-Wang concrete failure criterion. The shear strength of the steel plates of SCBs was calculated by using the von Mises yielding criterion without considering buckling. Results of the developed method are in good agreement with the testing and finite element results.

Low cycle fatigue behavior of zirconium−titanium−steel composite plate

The low cycle fatigue behavior of zirconium−titanium−steel composite plate under symmetrical and asymmetric stress control was studied.The effects of mean stress and stress amplitude on cyclic deformation,ratcheting effect and damage mechanism were discussed in detail.The results show that under symmetric stress control,the forward ratcheting deformation is observed.Under asymmetric stress control,the ratcheting strain increases rapidly with mean stress and stress amplitude increasing.Under high stress amplitude,the influence of mean stress is more significant.In addition,by studying the variation of strain energy density,it is found that the stress amplitude mainly promotes the fatigue damage,while the mean stress leads to the ratcheting damage.In addition,fractographic observation shows that the crack initiates in the brittle metal compound at the interface,and the steel has higher resistance to crack propagation.Finally,the accuracy of life prediction model considering ratcheting effect is discussed in detail,and a high-precision life prediction model directly based on mean stress and stress amplitude is proposed.

Effect of Annealing on Fly-Line Microstructure and Properties of Explosively Composited Stainless Steel-Stainless Steel Plates

Effect of annealing on "fly-line"(adiabatic sheer line) microstructure and properties of explosively composited stainless steel-stainless steel plates was studied.Results show that the flyline microstructure will diminish through certain annealing process,while the cracks formed from fly-line microstructure will remain.Therefore,fly-line microstructure can be considered as a plastic deformation microstructure and crack source s meanwhile its formation is considered as a special plastic deformation mechanism of metal under explosive load.

Effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of structural steel–mild steel composite plates fabricated by explosion welding

Two dissimilar steel plates,structural steel and mild steel,were joined by explosion welding to form a composite.The composite was then heat-treated by quenching at 840℃ for 30 min followed by tempering at 200℃ for 3 h.The microstructure was investigated under an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope.The mechanical properties were measured using Vickers microhardness and Charpy impact tests.The results show a deformed interface with typical wave features at the welding zone,but no defects were observed.Moreover,the ferrite in the parent plate in the weld zone was elongated due to the strong plastic deformation from the explosion.After heat treatment,the hardness of the flyer plate(structural steel)was over HV0.2800,while that of the parent plate(mild steel)was HV0.2200.The increase in hardness was due to the presence of martensite.Moreover,the average impact energy was increased from 18.5 to 44.0 J following heat treatment;this is because of the formation of recrystallized grains at the weld interface,which is due to the dynamic recovery and local recrystallization,and the strong elemental diffusion that occurred between the two plates.

Experimental and analytical study on seismic behavior of steel-concrete multienergy dissipation composite shear walls

In this paper, a steel-concrete multi-energy dissipation composite shear wall, comprised of steel-reinforced concrete （SRC） columns, steel plate （SP） deep beams, a concrete wall and energy dissipation strips, is proposed. In order to study the multi-energy dissipation behavior and restorability after an earthquake, two stages of low cyclic loading tests were carded out on ten test specimens. In the first stage, test on five specimens with different number of SP deep beams was carried out, and the test lasted until the displacement drift reached 2%. In the second stage, thin SPs were welded to both sides of the five specimens tested in the first stage, and the same test was carried out on the repaired specimens （designated as new specimens）. The load-bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility, hysteretic behavior and failure characteristics were analyzed for both stages and the results are discussed herein. Extrapolating from these results, strength calculation models and formulas are proposed herein and simulations using ABAQUS carried out, they show good agreement with the test results. The study demonstrates that SRC columns, SP deep beams, concrete wall and energy dissipation strips cooperate well and play an important role in energy dissipation. In addition, this study shows that the shear wall has good recoverability after an earthquake, and that the welding of thin SP＇s to repair a deformed wall is a practicable technique.

Conductive and corrosion behaviors of silver-doped carbon-coated stainless steel as PEMFC bipolar plates

Ni–Cr enrichment on stainless steel SS316 L resulting from chemical activation enabled the deposition of carbon by spraying a stable suspension of carbon nanoparticles; trace Ag was deposited in situ to prepare a thin continuous Ag-doped carbon film on a porous carbon-coated SS316 L substrate. The corrosion resistance of this film in 0.5 mol·L^（-1） H_2SO_4 solution containing 5 ppm F- at 80°C was investigated using polarization tests. The results showed that the surface treatment of the SS316 L strongly affected the adhesion of the carbon coating to the stainless steel. Compared to the bare SS316 L, the Ag-doped carbon-coated SS316 L bipolar plate was remarkably more stable in both the anode and cathode environments of proton exchange membrane fuel cell（PEMFC） and the interface contact resistance between the specimen and Toray 060 carbon paper was reduced from 333.0 m？·cm^2 to 21.6 m？·cm^2 at a compaction pressure of 1.2 MPa.

Effect of Silver Element on Microstructure and Properties of W-30Cu/TiC Composites

W-30 wt%Cu and TiC-50 wt%Ag were successfully synthesized by a novel simplified pretreatment followed by electroless plating. The 0 wt% TiC, 0.5 wt% TiC, and 0.5 wt%TiC-0.5 wt%Ag composite powders were added to W-30 wt%Cu composite powders by blending, and then reduced. The reduced W-30 Cu, W-30 Cu/0.5 TiC, and W-30 Cu-0.5 Ag/0.5 TiC composite powders were then compacted and sintered at 1 300 ℃ in protective hydrogen for 60 min. The phase and morphology of the composite powders and materials were analyzed using X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The relative density, electrical conductivity, and hardness of the sintered samples were examined. Results showed that W-30 Cu and TiC-Ag composite powders with uniform structure were obtained using simplified pretreatment followed by electroless plating. The addition of TiC particles can significantly increase the compressive strength and hardness of the W-30 Cu composite material but decrease the electrical conductivity. Next, 0.5 wt% Ag was added to prepare W-30 Cu-0.5 Ag/TiC composites with excellent electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of these composites(61.2%) is higher than that in the national standard(the imaginary line denotes electrical conductivity of GB IACS 42%) of 45.7%.

Experimental study and analysis on fatigue stiffness of RC beams strengthened with CFRP and steel plate

The objective of this work is to investigate the fatigue behavior of reinforced concrete(RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) and steel plate. An experimental investigation and theoretical analysis were made on the law of deflection development and stiffness degradation, as well as the influence of fatigue load ranges. Test results indicate that the law of three-stage change under fatigue loading is followed by both midspan deflection and permanent deflection, which also have positive correlation with fatigue load amplitude. Fatigue stiffness of composite strengthened beams degrades gradually with the increasing of number of cycles. Based on the experimental results, a theoretical model by effective moment of inertia method is developed for calculating the sectional stiffness of such composite strengthened beams under fatigue loading, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Effect of annealing on properties of Al/steel composite plates prepared by surface oxidation treatment before cold roll bonding

Al/steel composite plate has a wide application prospect,but great differences in properties between Al and steel are observed.It is difficult to obtain high bonding strength by the traditional cold roll bonding process.Al/steel composite plate was thus prepared by cold roll bonding at a reduction rate of 60%after oxidation treatment on the surface to be composited on the steel side.The heat treatment of holding at 400℃ for 1 h and cooling with the furnace was then adopted.The bonding strength,microstructure,and properties of the Al/steel composite plate before and after annealing were analysed and compared through shear test,bending test,tensile test,and micro-characterization.Results show that the shear strengths of the interface before and after annealing are 100 and 80 MPa,respectively.Although the shear strength of the annealed Al/steel composite plate decreases,the bending and overall tensile properties of the composite plate are improved,showing better mechanical properties.

新型空心管状翼缘钢板组合梁设计理念与力学性能

工字钢组合梁桥正朝着少主梁、精简横向联系的方向发展。与传统多主梁复杂横向联系组合梁桥相比,双主梁桥由于采用了开口截面的结构形式,极大地削弱了其抗扭能力,在偏载作用下会产生较大的变形及翘曲应力,使钢主梁处于弯扭耦合的受力状态。空心管状翼缘钢板组合梁采用空心钢管取代传统的平板上翼缘,提升了稳定性,改善了结构性能。本文通过理论分析和实体有限元法的计算,研究了单梁在自重与横向风荷载作用下的稳定性;对非组合截面的组合体系下的稳定性能进行了分析与比较,并分离出扭转翘曲应力和纵向正应力,研究了不同跨径下扭转效应的影响。最后,对横向联系、加劲肋的影响进行了分析。研究结果表明,空心管状翼缘钢板组合梁桥扭转刚度大于传统工字形截面组合梁扭转刚度,自身横向稳定性好,并且需要较少的横向联系与加劲肋,可实现单梁吊装,避免采用过多临时加固及支撑措施,提高施工效率。

不同界面下梁端直剪型锚栓钢板剪切承载力试验研究

开展梁端直剪型锚栓钢板剪切承载力加固试验研究。试验序列包含1个对比试验段、5个剪切承载力加固试验段。试验参数包括界面条件和钢板高度。结果表明:受力过程中钢板与混凝土之间的黏结界面终会剥离,不同黏结界面不影响剪切承载力;增加钢板高度和配套的直剪型锚栓数量能有效提高混凝土梁的剪切承载力。直剪型锚栓钢板剪切承载力加固存在2种机制,约束机制通过限制斜裂缝宽度提高剪切承载力,而组合受力机制通过钢板将一部分剪力直接传入支座。加固钢板高度较小时以约束机制为主,加固钢板高度较大时,2种加固机制联合发挥作用。

焊接多腔双钢板-混凝土组合剪力墙抗震性能分析

大多数双钢板-混凝土组合剪力墙采用螺栓连接或焊接肋的方式使钢板和混凝土协同工作。然而,这种连接方式可能导致整体性和塑性变形效率较低,且制作复杂,焊接多腔双钢板-混凝土组合剪力墙能够有效地避免这些问题。为了深入研究焊接多腔双钢板-混凝土组合剪力墙的抗震性能,基于约束混凝土真三轴塑性-损伤本构模型和钢材弹塑性混合强化-韧性损伤本构模型,建立了组合剪力墙的精细化三维实体-壳模型,将模拟所得的滞回曲线、骨架曲线、刚度退化曲线、弹性刚度、承载力、累积耗能、等效阻尼粘滞系数和延性系数与已有拟静力试验结果相比较,发现两者吻合较好。分析结果表明:轴压比对组合剪力墙模型算例刚度和承载力的影响较小,而随剪跨比增大,组合剪力墙模型算例的刚度和承载力呈线性降低;轴压比对组合剪力墙模型算例总塑性耗能的影响较小,而剪跨比的影响较大,剪力墙总塑性耗能随剪跨比增大而降低;轴压比和剪跨比都不会改变算例各部件的耗能分配机制,即组合剪力墙模型算例以外钢板和内隔板耗能为主。
