Analysis on displacement‐based seismic design method of recycled aggregate concrete‐filled square steel tube frame structures

Abstract

Recycled aggregate concrete-filled square steel tube (S-RACFST) frame has the characteristics of high bearing capacity, good ductility, and superior seismic performance. To propose a displacement-based seismic design of S-RACFST frame, the validity of the design method was verified by a detailed calculation example. Based on the performance requirements, this design method divided the structural performance into five levels: normal use, temporary use, use after strengthening, life safety, and collapse prevention, and suggested specific steps for the displacement-based seismic design of S-RACFST frame using the inter-story displacement angle limit value as the quantitative indicator. The 10-story S-RACFST frame was used as an analytical example for static elasticplastic analysis. The pushover lateral displacement curves of the frame structure at each performance level were obtained and compared with the displacement-based seismic design curves. The results show that the displacement-based seismic design method of S-RACFST frame structures can fulfill the performance level requirements such as "temporary use," "normal use," and "collapse prevention," and the displacement-based seismic design method is one of the effective ways to realize the performance design of S-RACFST frame structures.

Optimizing flow, strength, and durability in high-strength self-compacting and self-curing concrete utilizing lightweight aggregates

“…However, not without its imperfections, the M12 mix still exhibits the presence of pores and cracks within the cement matrix. Notably, these pores possess a smaller diameter, measuring between 0.95 and 2.5 μm, suggesting that the M12 mix may offer enhanced structural integrity compared to standard concrete [40]. These findings underscore the critical role of SEM analysis in elucidating the intricate characteristics of concrete mixes, aiding in their optimization and overall improvement.…”

Rebound Characteristics of Wet-Shotcrete Particle Flow Jet from Wall Based on CFD-DEM

“…He [10] explored the mechanism of the rebound in high-air-content concrete based on the criteria proposed by Armelin and investigated the influence of the concrete consistency, working wind pressure, spraying thickness, and constituent materials on the rebound rate. Bindiganavile et al [11], Zhang et al [12], and Cui et al [13] studied the influence of the concrete aggregate properties on the rebound and analyzed the effects of the aggregate density and cement adhesion on the aggregate surface and the impact of the aggregate particle size on the rebound. In addition, they proposed the theory of aggregate property rebound correlation.…”

Influence of pozzolanic addition on strength and microstructure of metakaolin-based concrete

“…Therefore, different approaches have been utilized to improve the quality of concrete [ 11 – 15 ]. Furthermore, new methods have been employed to enhance the sustainability of concrete [ 16 – 20 ]. One of these methods is the application of waste materials as a replacement for aggregate or cement [ 21 – 30 ].…”
