Behavior of circular concrete columns reinforced with hollow composite sections and GFRP bars

Hollow concrete columns (HCCs) constitute a structurally efficient construction system for marine and offshore structures, including bridge piers and piles. Conventionally, HCCs reinforced with steel bars are vulnerable to corrosion and can lose functionality as a result, especially in harsh environments. Moreover, HCCs are subjected to brittle failure behavior by concrete crushing due to the absence of the concrete core. Therefore, this study investigated the use of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars as a solution for corrosion and the use of hollow composite-reinforced sections (HCRSs) to confine the inner concrete wall in HCCs. Furthermore, this study conducted an in-depth assessment of the effect of the reinforcement configuration and reinforcement ratio on the axial performance of HCCs. Eight HCCs with the same lateral-reinforcement configuration were prepared and tested under monotonic loading until failure. The column design included a column without any longitudinal reinforcement, one reinforced longitudinally with an HCRS, one reinforced longitudinally with GFRP bars, three reinforced with HCRSs and different amounts of GFRP bars (4, 6, and 8 bars), and three reinforced with HCRSs and different diameters of GFRP bars (13, 16, 19 mm). The test results show that longitudinal reinforcement—whether GFRP bars or HCRSs—significantly enhanced the strength and displacement capacities of the HCCs. Increasing the amount of GFRP bars was more effective than increasing the bar diameter in increasing the confined strength and the displacement capacity. The axial-load capacity of the GFRP/HCRS-reinforced HCCs could be accurately estimated by calculating the load contribution of the longitudinal reinforcement, considering the axial strain at the concrete peak strength. A new confinement model considering the combined effect of the longitudinal and transverse reinforcement in the lateral confinement process was also developed.     

Axial compressive behavior of stainless steel tube confined concrete column piers

The steel tube confined concrete (STCC) column piers of marine structures have been proposed in recent years. The main advantages of STCC piers include the convenient construction process and improved core concrete strength. This research presents an experimental investigation on stainless steel tube confined concrete (SSTCC) column piers subjected to axial loading. Thirty two specimens were prepared and tested. Test variables included section shape, steel tube thickness, and concrete strength. Failure modes, axial ultimate compressive strength, strain characteristics, rigidity, confinement effect, and ductility were comprehensively investigated. Test results demonstrated that the main failure modes for circular and square specimens were concrete shear failure and steel tube fracture caused by concrete deformation, respectively. The axial compressive ultimate strength was affected by the tube thickness and concrete strength. The ultimate strength increased with the increase in the confinement factor, and the increasing ratio of the circular specimens was five times to that of square specimens. The differences in axial ultimate compressive strength of SSTCC column piers, carbon steel tube confined concrete column piers, and concrete filled steel tube column piers were also analyzed. Increasing tube thickness could increase the ductility and rigidity of the specimens. Moreover, axial ultimate compressive strengths were calculated and discussed based on different calculation models.

Bond-slip behaviour of concrete filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) columns

This paper provides novel results and key findings for the bond-slip field since there is no single study available in the literature conducted on the bond-slip behaviour of concrete filled double skin steel tubular (CFDST) columns. Likewise, no studies have been focused on the contribution of welded reinforcing bars on the bond behaviour of composite columns. A series of push-out tests on sixteen specimens of CFDST columns are presented to explore the bond-slip behaviour between the cross-sectional elements (the inner steel tube, outer steel tube and the shell concrete). The primary test parameters involve (a) interface type (normal interface, interface with an internal ring, with reinforcing bars, and with shear studs); (b) concrete strength (high strength concrete and normal strength concrete); (c) push-out type (push-out of the shell concrete and push-out of the inner tube). The results demonstrated that greater benefits arose on the bond strength, once the reinforcing bars or internal rings were welded onto the inner steel tube of CFDST columns. Moreover, in addition to remarkably improving the bond strength, the welded reinforcement bars would significantly improve the compressive strength of CFDST columns and eliminate the local buckling of the inner steel tube. On the other hand, the embedded shear studs (bolts) onto inner steel tubes are capable of improving the bond strength with less degree of the shear resistance in comparison with the other interface types. What's more, the current paper is also adapted to explore the influence of concrete grade (normal and high strength) on the bond performance of CFDST columns and it is showed that the bond strength increases considerably as the strength of the shell concrete is increased. Finally, the bond improvement ratio (BIR) is studied which could be a representative index in comparing the performances of the parameters on the bond behaviour.     

牺牲阳极方式电化学脱盐效率影响因素

外加电流方式电化学脱盐能够有效脱除混凝土内的有害氯离子,但对预应力钢筋混凝土结构不适用,存在可能引起氢脆和减小握裹力的危险以及安装施工、管理不方便和在脱盐期间现场需要有专业技术人员进行操作等缺点;使用牺牲阳极方式电化学脱盐法将钢筋混凝土内的有害氯离子脱除出来,可以克服上述缺点,既适用于普通混凝土,又适用于预应力混凝土。研究通电时间、脱盐装置位置以及取样深度对牺牲阳极方式电化学脱盐效果的影响。结果表明,牺牲阳极方式电化学脱盐在工作3个月后仍能有效地将混凝土内的氯离子迁移到外部的活性填充材料中,且在距阳极500 mm处脱盐效率最高,能达到脱除混凝土试件内有害氯离子的目的,其中混凝土试件表层脱盐效率最高可达60%左右。     

Experimental and numerical study of localized pitting effect on compressive behavior of tubular members

Locally pitted tubular members are usually considered as stub columns to assess the ultimate strength. However, it is not suitable for those with relatively larger slenderness ratios as their failure behavior is more complex and closely related to corrosion features of localized pitting. This paper presents compressive column tests on locally pitted tubular members of a moderate slenderness ratio. Corrosion pits were artificially introduced on local surface of the members, forming corrosion patches with various corrosion features. A numerical modelling method was proposed to reproduce the test specimens. Localized pitting damage was proven to cause substantial declines in the load deformation capacity and ultimate strength, and have a significant effect on the failure mode. The failure of a pitted member is mostly initiated by local buckling after yielding occurs in the corrosion patch, concurrent with pitting closure, and even shear cracking of member wall due to the perforated pits. Moreover, shape change of the corrosion patch most likely results in the failure mode to alter from column buckling to local buckling or interactive buckling. The shape ratio of the corrosion patch is one of the critical factor to influence the ultimate strength of locally pitted members. The proposed modelling method is applicable for extensive stochastic simulations so as to develop an empirical formula and to clarify the probabilistic characteristics of ultimate strength.

混凝土双轴力学性能的细观数值模拟

目前混凝土和钢筋混凝土建筑物多是以单轴强度为标准设计的,但实际上,大多数建筑物均处于多轴应力状态.文中从细观层次上分析了混凝土的内部结构,对混凝土试块在双轴应力作用下的力学特性进行了较为全面的随机骨料模型数值模拟.试验成果表明,试件的双轴强度与单轴强度相比有显著区别,而且与应力比有很大的关系,混凝土的非均质性表现的更为突出.通过模拟试件在双轴应力作用下的强度包络图可以看出,常规混凝土的薄弱环节是骨料与砂浆基质之间的粘结面,裂纹沿界面扩展并最终导致试件的破坏,这与室内实验所得结果是相似的,试件的破坏形态也基本与实验中观察到的一致.因此在结构设计中如果考虑到这些情况,则可以避免浪费材料或者受力考虑不足造成结构处于危险状态.
