The interaction between steel tube and concrete core is the key design considerations for concrete-filled steel tube columns. In a concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) column, the steel tube provides confinement to the concrete core which permits the composite action among the steel tube and the concrete. Due to construction faults and plastic shrinkage of concrete, the debonding separation at the steel-concrete interface weakens the confinement effect, and hence affects the behaviour and bearing capacity of the composite member. This study investigates the axial loading behavior of the concrete filled circular steel tube columns with debonding separation. A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element model of CFST composite columns with introduced debonding gap was developed. The results from the finite element analysis captured successfully the experimental behaviours. The calibrated finite element models were then utilized to assess the influence of concrete strength, steel yield stress and the steel-concrete ratio on the debonding behaviour. The findings indicate a likely significant drop in the load carrying capacity with the increase of the size of the debonding gap. A design formula is proposed to reduce the load carrying capacity with the presence of debonding separation.

Recently, the need for strengthening reinforced concrete(R.C.) structure has been increased, particularly when there is an increase in load requirements, a change in use, a degradation problem, or design/construction defects. The use of composite materials for structural repair presents several advantages and has been investigated all over the world. It is well known that the incorporation of carbon fiber sheet(CFS) with concrete is one of the most effective ways to strengthen the R.C. structure. In this papers, experimentally investigated the ductile behavior of the R.C. beams strengthened with CFS, and provided the basic data for design of R.C. beams strengthened with CFS. Tests were carried out with 15 beams ($20cm{\times}30cm{\times}240cm$) reinforced with CFS, and with parameters including and the ratio of tensile reinforcement to that of balanced condition and number of CFS. The results show that strengthened and non-strengthened beams exhibit different ductile behovior. Non-strengthened beams showed increase of ductility as amount of the tensile reinforcement decreased. However, bearing capacity of the CFS-strengthened beams are dictated by the strength of the CFS layers that a very high ductility is indicated for the beams with large number of CFS.

Due to the construction difficulties of steel reinforced concrete (SRC), a new composite structure of steel and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SSFRC) is proposed for solving construction problems of SRC. This paper aims to investigate the bond properties and composition of interfacial bond stress between steel and steel fiber reinforced concrete. Considering the design parameters of section type, steel fiber ratio, interface embedded length and concrete cover thickness, a total of 36 specimens were fabricated. The bond properties of specimens were studied, and three different methods of calculating interfacial bond stress were analyzed. The results show: relative slip first occurs at the free end; Bearing capacity of specimens increases with the increase of interface embedded length. While the larger interface embedded length is, the smaller the average bond strength is. The average bond strength increases with the increase of concrete cover thickness and steel fiber ratio. And calculation method 3 proposed in this paper can not only reasonably explain the hardening stage after the loading end curve yielding, but also can be applied to steel reinforced high-strength concrete (SRHC) and steel reinforced recycled coarse aggregate concrete (SRRAC).

Hollow reinforced concrete columns confined with GFRP tubes (GRCH) are composite members composed of the outer GFRP tube, the PVC or other plastic tube as the inner tube, and the reinforced concrete between two tubes. Because of their high ductility, light weight, corrosion resistance and convenient construction, many researchers pay attention to the composite members. However, there are few studies on GRCH members under eccentric compression compared with those under axial compression. Eight hollow columns were tested under eccentric compression, including one axial compression column and seven eccentric compression columns. The failure modes and force mechanisms of GRCH members were analyzed, considering the varying in hollow ratio, reinforcement ratio and eccentricity. The test results showed that configuring steel bars can greatly increase the bearing capacity and ductility of the members. Each component (GFRP tube, concrete, steel bar) had good deformation coordination and the strength of each material could be fully utilized. But for specimens with larger eccentricity ratio (e_r=0.4) and larger hollow ratio (χ=0.55), the restraining effect of GFRP tube on concrete was significantly decreased.

본 연구에서는 고화제를 이용하여 개량된 노상재료의 배합에 따른 공학적 특성과 지지력을 분석하기 위하여 실내 및 현장시험을 실시하였다. 노상토 개량에 고화제로 사용된 재료의 주성분은 CaO와 $SO_3$이다. 고화제를 현장 토공재료인 저소성 점토(CL)와 혼합한 후 입도분포는 체 굵기가 커질수록 상대적으로 통과율이 낮아져 실트질 모래(SM)로 흙의 종류가 바뀌었을 뿐 아니라 소성지수와 수정 CBR 등의 공학적 특성이 노상토에 적합하게 개선되었다. 동일한 에너지로 다짐된 개량토의 다짐곡선으로부터 최대건조단위중량은 현장토 대비 약 6%가량 증가하고 최적함수비는 약간 감소하여 상당히 입도가 개선되었다. 실내 CBR 시험에서도 동일한 다짐에너지에서 적당량의 고화제를 투입한 개량토의 단위중량과 강도 증대효과가 현저히 크게 나타났다. 고화제 투입 후 조립분의 비율이 상대적으로 증가함으로 인하여 현장토 대비 초기다짐 시 팽창비가 3.3배 이상 감소되었고, 최종다짐 시에는 6.5배 이상 작게 나타났다. 시험시공이 이루어진 구간에서 일축압축강도는 설계강도 이상을 확보하면서 균질한 값을 유지하였다. 동일한 시공조건으로 현장에 적용한 후 확인시험 결과에서도 다짐 1일 후 시험한 6개소 모두의 지지력계수가 적절한 수준에서 목표값을 상회하고 그 변동성도 양호한 것으로 나타났다.

최근 들어 산업부산물인 저회를 지반 매립재로 활용하려는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 5개 사에서 채취된 저회와 풍화토 혼합하여, 3가지 저회의 혼합비 (30%, 50%, 70%)에 따른 다짐실험, CBR 실험 및 삼축 압축실험 등이 수행되었다. 실험 결과, 저회를 혼입한 혼합토의 CBR값은 20을 상회하였으며, 소성을 보이지 않아 성토재료로 사용이 가능할 것으로 평가되었다. 혼합토에 사용된 저회의 역학적 성능이 풍화토보다 우수하므로, 혼합비가 증가할수록 혼합토의 CBR값은 뚜렷한 증가를 나타내었다. 그러나, 배합후 입자배열에는 큰 영향을 주지 못하므로, 혼합비에 따른 내부마찰각 및 점착력의 변화는 뚜렷하게 평가되지 못했다. 저회는 시료 자체의 강성이 있으므로, 지지력이 풍화토에 비하여 크게 평가되었으며, 성토재료로서의 활용할 수 있음을 실험적으로 규명하였다.

Steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) L-shaped column is the vertical load-bearing member with high spatial adaptability. The seismic behavior of SRC L-shaped column is complex because of their irregular cross sections. In this study, the hysteretic performance of six steel truss reinforced concrete L-shaped columns specimens under the combined loading of compression, bending, shear, and torsion was tested. There were two parameters, i.e., the moment ratio of torsion to bending (γ) and the aspect ratio (column length-to-depth ratio (φ)). The failure process, torsion-displacement hysteresis curves, and bending-displacement hysteresis curves of specimens were obtained, and the failure patterns, hysteresis curves, rigidity degradation, ductility, and energy dissipation were analyzed. The experimental research indicates that the failure mode of the specimen changes from bending failure to bending-shear failure and finally bending-torsion failure with the increase of γ. The torsion-displacement hysteresis curves were pinched in the middle, formed a slip platform, and the phenomenon of "load drop" occurred after the peak load. The bending-displacement hysteresis curves were plump, which shows that the bending capacity of the specimen is better than torsion capacity. The results show that the steel truss reinforced concrete L-shaped columns have good collapse resistance, and the ultimate interstory drift ratio more than that of the Chinese Code of Seismic Design of Building (GB50011-2014), which is sufficient. The average value of displacement ductility coefficient is larger than rotation angle ductility coefficient, indicating that the specimen has a better bending deformation resistance. The specimen that has a more regular section with a small φ has better potential to bear bending moment and torsion evenly and consume more energy under a combined action.

This paper investigates the effect of crumb rubber (CR) on compressive behaviour of crumb rubber concrete filled steel tube (CRCFST) stub columns. Therefore, experiments on 16 stub columns subjected to axial loading are carried out. The results show that the failure modes of CRCFST stub columns with different CR replacement ratios and CR size are similar, manifested the buckling of the outer steel tube. The axial bearing capacity and stiffness both decrease with an increase in CR replacement ratio, and with decreasing CR size.
