The neutral axis change along with axial load ratio, load angle, section size etc. For the neutral axis of SRCLSC(steel reinforced concrete L-shaped column) is neither plumb with the plane that the moment work on, nor parallel with borderlines of SRCLSC section, it is difficult to get loading capacity and ductility of SRCLSC on biaxial eccentric loading. Based on the plane-section assumption, a method for the nonlinear analysis of complete response process for ductility of 15 SRCLSC..It include 36 sets for load angle, 6 sets for axial load ratio, 3 sets for concrete strength, 3 sets for the content of steel, 2 sets for steel style, 3 sets for stirrup ratio, 3 sets for steel location, 3 sets for section size, 3 sets for stirrup diameter about SRCLSC. The ductile behavior of L-shaped, with calculating 1068 loading conditions,are investigated. It concluded that axial load ratio, load angle, and ratio of the spacing of stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement’s diameter (s/d) are most important factors.

AbstractExperimental investigation on seismic performance of RC shear walls reinforced with CFRP bars in boundary elements to enhance the resilience was presented which is expected for stable resistance capacity and small residual deformation. Six RC shear walls reinforced with CFRP bars as longitudinal tensile materials in boundary elements were tested under reversed cyclic lateral loading while subjected to constant axial compression with different axial load ratios of 0.17, 0.26 and 0.33, respectively. Two forms of stirrups were used for each axial load ratio, which were rectangular and circular stirrups in boundary elements. A reference specimen, ordinary RC shear walls, was also introduced to certify the excellence of CFRP bars. The test results indicated that the walls utilizing CFRP bars had small residual deformations and residual crack widths. Lower crack propagation height and larger concrete crushing region, bearing capacity and equivalent viscous damping coefficient (EVDC) could be observed with the increase of axial load ratios. The effects of stirrup forms on experimental results had a relation to the axial load ratio. When the axial load ratio was small, the shear walls with circular stirrups had better energy dissipation than that with rectangular stirrups at a given drift level, while the cumulative energy dissipation (CED) were similar. With the increase of axial load ratio, the walls exhibited similar energy dissipation at the same drift level, however, the shear walls with rectangular stirrups had larger CED.

Compared with reinforced concrete shaped columns, bearing capacity and ductility of steel reinforced concrete shaped columns are significantly improved, so it is with theoretical significance and practical application of value to research. Based on the plain cross section presume, with material T-section boundary calculation unit, 15 steel reinforced concrete T-shaped columns(SRCTSC) have made nonlinear full-rang numerical analysis. It demonstrates that the most adverse curvature ductility load angle of SRCCRSC is 180°.Loading angle ( ), axial compression ratio ( ), and the ratio of spacing and diameter of longitudinal reinforcements (s/d) are the principal factors in curvature ductility of SRCTSC subjected to biaxial eccentric compression. It include 36 sets for load angle, 6 sets for axial load ratio, 3 sets for concrete strength, 3 sets for the content of steel, 2 sets for steel style, 3 sets for stirrup ratio, 3 sets for steel location, 3 sets for section size, 3 sets for stirrup diameter about SRCTSC. The ductile behavior of T-shaped, with calculating 1068 loading conditions, are investigated. It concluded that axial load ratio, load angle, and ratio of the spacing of stirrups and longitudinal reinforcement’s diameter (s/d) are most important factors.

The horizontal press performance of column is deteriorated because of its special-shaped section. Moreover, because the antiseismic performance of column is worse, special-shaped column is only used in regions where seismic intensity is lower. So the main problem is to enhance the ductility and shear capacity. This test study on mechanical performance has been carried out through 14 SRCLSSC and 2 RCLSSC. The study focuses on the impacts of test axial load ratio (nt), hooped reinforcement ratio (ρ v ), shear span ratio (λ) and steel ratio (ρ ss ) on the shear strength and the antiseismic performance of SRCLSSC. It can be concluded that the shear strength of SRCLSSC is increasing with the increasing of n t and ρ ss , but the degree of increasing is small when n t is a certainty value, and that the shear strength of SRCLSSC is decreasing with increasing of λ; The shear resistance formula of L-shaped column is derived through tests, the calculated results are in correspondence with those of the tests. It also can be concluded that the hysteretic loops of the SRCLSSC are full and the hysteretic behaviors are improved; the displacement ductility is increasing with increasing of ρv and ρ ss , but decreasing with the increasing of n t ; the degree of variety in high axial load ratio is larger than that in low axial load ratio. If steel bars are added, the shear strength and displacement ductility of SRCLSSC are increased in a large degree.

The latest version of the Standard for Structural Calculation of Reinforced Concrete Structures, published by the Architectural Institute of Japan in 2010 [1], allows the design of shear walls with rectangular cross sections in addition to shear walls with boundary columns at the end regions (referred to here as “barbell shape”). In recent earthquakes, several reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls were damaged by flexural failures through concrete compression crushing accompanied with buckling of longitudinal reinforcement in the boundary areas. Damage levels have clearly been shown to be related to drift in structures; this is why drift limits are in place for structural design criteria. A crucial step in designing a structure to accommodate these drift limits is to model the ultimate drift capacity. Thus, in order to reduce damage from this failure mode, the ultimate drift capacity of RC shear walls needs to be estimated accurately. In this paper, a parametric study of the seismic behaviour of RC shear walls was conducted using a fibre-based model to investigate the influence of basic design parameters including concrete strength, volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement in the confined area, axial load ratio and boundary column dimensions. This study focused on ultimate drift capacity for both shear walls with rectangular sections and shear walls with boundary columns. The fibre-based model was calibrated with experimental results of twenty eight tests on shear walls with confinement in the boundary regions. It was found that ultimate drift capacity is most sensitive to axial load ratio; increase of axial load deteriorated ultimate drift capacity dramatically. Two other secondary factors were: increased concrete strength slightly reduced ultimate drift capacity while increased shear reinforcement ratio and boundary column width improved ultimate drift capacity.

Nonlinear numerical analysis for the force performance of frame middle joint is processed in this paper with the finite element software of ABAQUS. Compared with experimental results, numerical analysis results are found to be reasonable. Then the influence of factors such as shaped steel ratio and axial-load ratio are contrastively analyzed. The results show that shaped steel ratio has a greater influence on the bearing capacity and hysteretic performance of the structure, but the axial-load ratio has less influence.
