Based on tests on six L-shaped RC columns with 500 MPa steel bars, the effect of axial compression ratios and stirrup spacing on failure mode, bearing capacity, displacement, and curvature ductility of the specimens is investigated. Test results show that specimens with lower axial load and large stirrup characteristic value (larger than about 0.35) are better at ductility and seismic performance, while specimens under high axial load or with a small stirrup characteristic value (less than about 0.35) are poorer at ductility; L-shaped columns with 500 MPa steel bars show better bearing capacity and ductility in comparison with specimens with HRB400 steel bars.

. Abstract. Tests on TCFT-WB, including 11 specimens with binding bars and 5 without binding bars under axial compression were carried out. The effects of parameters on the behavior of specimens such as failure mode, bearing capacity and ductility are analyzed to provide experimental data for the following research. The formula to calculate ultimate strength of TCFT-WB columns under axial compression are deduced from the constitutive relationship of TCFT-WB. The calculated results are compared with those calculated by FEM analyses, showing the proposed formula can give reasonable predictions on the ultimate strength of TCFT-WB stub columns under axial compression.

A loading comparison experimental study on concrete circular columns confined by hybrid fiber sheets of carbon FRP sheet, basalt FRP sheet, and glass FRP sheet is carried out to analyze their failure feature, bearing capacity, ductility and economy. Test results show that HFRP can increase the ductility of column and deduce the price on the precondition of having enough bearing capacity.

A new method to infill the opening in the precast fabricated concrete shear wall was applied in China. In this paper, three geometrically identical precast fabricated shear wall specimens were constructed and tested under constant axial load and quasi-static cyclic lateral loading. The only difference among three specimens was the methods to infill the opening in the middle, the methods were respectively integration infill, masonry infill and without infill. The hysteretic curves, the skeleton curves, the failure process, the strain variation of reinforcement, the stiffness, the ductility and energy-dissipating capacity were obtained. The results and analysis showed that integration shear wall owns good seismic performance. Its bearing capacity, stiffness, energy-dissipating capacity are excellent while ductility is relatively poor. Masonry infilled wall and wall without infill also own good seismic performance.

This paper presents an experimental study on the response of 18 concrete-filled cold-formed square hollow and double-C steel stub columns under cyclic and repeated loading. The test parameters were (1) infilled materials, i.e. No fill, concrete infilled and mortar infilled columns (2) cross sectional shape and dimension. The effect of lips in double-c section as inside stiffeners is presented. The cyclic tested results indicate the infilled columns possess higher bearing capacity, especially infilled materials with higher strength and non-compact section columns. However, there is no different in ultimate tensile. Moreover, the infilled columns showed larger area under post-yield hysteretic loops leading to better seismic performance. Failure of columns was modified in which the failure mode was shifted from the in-outward local buckling into the outward manner, consequently resulted to higher bearing capacity.

Through the experiments of four concrete composite slabs under static loading to compare their flexural properties (deflection, bearing capacity, failure mode), this paper discusses the influence of composite slabs flexural behavior on different length of additional bars and sectional effective height. The results showed that they will improve the bearing capacity effectively by reasonably increasing the sectional effective height and controlling the length of additional bars.

Abstract: 7 square steel tubular columns were tested to discuss the ultimate axial bearing capacity, ductility performance and the steel consumption under stiffened by steel belts and binding bars of different cross-sections. Test results indicate that only by increasing fewer amounts of steel usage, stiffened square CFST columns with binding bars can not only improve the overall effects of restraint and alleviate regional local buckling between the binding bars, but also improve the bearing capacity of concrete filled square steel tubular columns. The utility benefits and the economical benefit is considerable, deserving extensive use.

Four test pieces with different steel plate center-to-center distances and reinforcement ratios are subjected to low-cycle repeat quasistatic loading to optimize properties as failure mode, hysteretic curve, skeleton curve, energy dissipation parameters, strength parameters, and seismic performance of high-strength concrete low-rise shear walls. The embedded steel plates are shown to effectively restrict wall crack propagation, enhance the overall steel ratio, and improve the failure mode of the wall while reducing the degree of brittle failure. Under the same conditions, increasing the spacing between the steel plates in the steel plate concrete shear wall can effectively preserve the horizontal bearing capacity of the shear wall under an ultimate load. The embedded steel plates perform better than concealed bracing in delaying stiffness degeneration in the low-rise shear walls, thus safeguarding their long-term bearing capacity. The results presented here may provide a workable basis for shear wall design optimization.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) elements are becoming increasingly popular in multi-storey timber-based structures, which have long been built in many different countries. Various challenges are connected with constructions of this type. One such challenge is that of stabilizing the structure against vertical loads. However, the calculations of the stability bearing capacity of the CLT members in axial compression in the structural design remains unsolved in China. This study aims to determine the stability bearing capacity of the CLT members in axial compression and to propose the calculation method of the stability coefficient. First, the stability coefficient calculation theories in different national standards were analyzed, and then the stability bearing capacity of CLT elements with four slenderness ratios was investigated. Finally, based on the stability coefficient calculation formulae in the GB 50005-2017 standard and the regression method, the calculation method of the stability coefficient for CLT elements was proposed, and the values of the material parameters were determined. The result shows that the average deviation between fitting curve and calculated results of European and American standard is 5.43% and 3.73%, respectively, and the average deviation between the fitting curve and the actual test results was 8.15%. The stability coefficients calculation formulae could be used to predict the stability coefficients of CLT specimens with different slenderness ratios well.

In order to validate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete grid-mesh frame wall , four grid frame walls in half size is made with different height-width ratios and different grid forms in the paper. Two of them are filling with cast-in-place plaster as filling material. According to the experimental results of these four walls subjected to horizontal reciprocating loads, we know that the grid-mesh frame wall's breaking form are in stages and multiple modes, and the main influencing factors are height-width ratio and grid form, what's more, with cast-in-place plaster as fill material, could not only improve the level of the wall bearing capacity and stiffness, but also improve the ductility and seismic energy dissipation capacity.
