To investigate the applicability of the methods for calculating the bearing capacity of high-strength steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) composite columns according to specifications and the effect of confinement of stirrups and steel on the bearing capacity of SRC columns. The axial compression tests were conducted on 10 high-strength SRC columns and 4 ordinary SRC columns. The influences of the steel strength grade, the steel ratio, the types of stirrups and slenderness ratio on the bearing capacity of such members were examined. The analysis results indicate that using high-strength steel and improving the steel ratio can significantly enhance the bearing capacity of the SRC columns. When the slenderness ratio increases dramatically, the bearing capacity of the SRC columns plummets. As the confinement effect of the stirrups on the concrete improves, the utilization ratio of the high-strength steel in the SRC columns increases. Furthermore, the results calculated by AISC360-19(U.S.), EN1994-1-1-2004 (Europe), and JGJ138-2016(China) are too conservative compared with test results. Finally, a modified formula for calculating the bearing capacity of the SRC columns is proposed based on the confinement effect of the stirrups and steel on concrete. The results calculated by the modified formula and the finite element modeling results based on the confinement effect agree well with the test results.

Seismic Design Code

High strength steel reinforced concrete (HSRC) column refers to steel reinforced concrete column using high strength steel with its yield strength over 420MPa. So far, research on seismic behavior of HSRC columns is limited. This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on seismic behavior of HSRC columns. Two Q460 high strength steel reinforced concrete columns have been tested under low cyclic loading with constant axial compression ratio of 0.3. Flexural failure is observed in the test. From the hysteresis curves, the specimens exhibit good ductility and satisfactory energy dissipation capacity. Displacement ductility factors are larger than 2. When load descends to 85% of the peak load, the ultimate drift ratios of two specimens are 1/29 and 1/26 respectively, which meet the requirements of Chinese Seismic Design code (GB 50011). To study the seismic behavior of HSRC columns more comprehensively, a numerical model has been established for simulating the experiment using OpenSees, which adopts nonlinear beam-column element and fiber model. The numerical result fits the test data well, which validates the effectiveness of numerical model. Parametric study is then carried out to further investigate the seismic behavior of HSRC columns.

Calculation Results

At present, the existing standards (AISC360-16, EN1994-1-1:2004, and JGJ138-2016) lack relevant provisions for steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) composite columns with high-strength steel. To investigate the axial compressive mechanical performance of short high-strength steel-reinforced concrete (HSSRC) columns, the axial load test was conducted on 12 short composite columns with high-strength steel and ordinary steel. The influences of steel strength, steel ratio, and the section form of steel on the failure modes, bearing capacity, and ductility of the specimens were studied. Afterward, the experimental data were compared with the existing calculation results. The results show: compared with the specimens with Q235 steel, the bearing capacity of the specimens with Q460 steel increases by 7.8–15.3%, the bearing capacity of the specimens with Q690 steel increases by 13.2–24.1%, but the ductility coefficient increases by 15.2–202.4%; with the increase of steel ratio, the bearing capacity and ductility of specimens are significantly improved. A change of the steel cross-section could influence the ductility of SRC columns more than their bearing capacity. Moreover, the calculation results show that present standards could not predict the bearing capacity of HSSRC columns. Therefore, a modified method for determining the effective strength of steel equipped in HSSRC columns was proposed. The results of the ABAQUS simulation also showed that the addition of steel fibers could significantly improve the bearing capacity of Q690 HSSRC columns. The research results provide a reference for engineering practices.
