In view of the seismic weak component of the single-frame-type subway station structure, the three-dimensional (3D) time-domain nonlinear finite element static-dynamic coupling analysis model of interaction between soil and subway station structure is established by, respectively, using rectangular reinforced concrete (RRC) columns, circular reinforced concrete (CRC) columns, and prefabricated concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns with a quick-connection device proposed in this article. This analysis model is further used to investigate the influence of different types of middle columns on the seismic response characteristics of the underground structure, such as the interstory displacement angle, seismic damage, and dynamic response. The results show that, compared with the rectangular columns, the circular columns with the equal moment of inertia suffer less damage in the earthquake and have better seismic performance. The prefabricated CFST columns can effectively ensure that the middle columns of the station structure are not severely damaged and can be replaced quickly after the earthquake, which improves the overall seismic performance of the subway station structure and the rapid recovery ability of the structural function after the earthquake.

This paper selected representative soft site along the subway lines and created two-dimensional overall finite element analysis model about nonlinear dynamic interaction among soil, underground subway station, and ground structure based on Nanjing underground subway station. It explored the seismic response influence of neighboring high-rise structure on the two-layer and three-span island-type underground subway stations. The results showed that the structure near the subway station had a significant constraint effect on the deformation of subway station which is oriented to the structure, and the influence of deformation of subway station which is backward to the structure is related to vibration characteristics of the soil-underground structure interaction system. The influence of neighboring ground structure on the strain stress response of subway station is useful in most part of important nodes. However, this influence is disadvantageous in the outer part of connections of side walls and plates and middle plate-interior column connections.

Two 1/6 scale core walls, including one RC core wall with steel tube-reinforced concrete columns and concealed steel trusses and one conventional RC core wall, were tested under eccentric horizontal cyclic loading. The load-capacity, ductility, hysteresis characteristics, stiffness, stiffness deterioration process, energy dissipation and damage characteristics of the two specimens were compared and discussed in this paper. It shows that the seismic performance of the RC core walls under combined action could be improved by setting the concealed steel trusses in the walls and using the steel tube-reinforced concrete columns as the boundary elements.

Buildings constructed with non-seismic details are at risk of damage and collapse when an earthquake occurs due to a lack of strength, stiffness, and ductility. For reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames, seismic retrofitting methods that can enhance strength or ductility should be applied. However, such strategies have many disadvantages related to constructability, serviceability, securing integrity, and cost. In this paper, a welded concrete-filled steel tube (WCFST) system was examined in order to resolve the problems of the existing seismic retrofitting methods for RC moment-resisting frames. To evaluate the seismic performance of the proposed system, two specimens, one with non-seismic details and another reinforced with a WCFST seismic system, were manufactured for the cyclic loading tests. As a result of the experiments, the specimen retrofitted with the WCFST system showed maximum load, effective stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity values approximately 3, 2, and 2.5 times greater, respectively, than those obtained from the existing reinforced concrete frame specimen. The experimental results indicate that the proposed WCFST system is expected to be effective at improving the seismic performance by enhancing both the strength of the existing reinforced concrete frame structures and the dissipation of the seismic energy.

Finite element models of frames with steel-bracings and with concrete filled steel tube struts are built in ETABS. Seismic performance of these models is analyzed with base-shear method, superposition of modal responses method and time history method respectively. The results show that the steel-bracings or concrete filled steel tube struts are efficient to increase the story-stiffness, and the top displacement of the frame structure decreases significantly.

This article presents a staggered and out-of-plane connection between concrete-filled steel tubular column and reinforced concrete beam (SOC-TCB). SOC-TCB is taken from the basement roof joint of Suning center, which is a height of 341.85 m in China. In this joint system, the H-shaped steel brackets are welded with steel tube to transfer shear and moment. Moreover, the reinforcing bars are interrupted by steel tube and lapped with steel bracket. To investigate the seismic behavior of SOC-TCB, four types of SOC-TCBs were tested under reversal cyclic loading. The differences between specimens were staggered height and out-of-plane angle. Seismic performance was evaluated based on hysteretic behavior, failure mode, shear deformation, rotational deformation, and energy dissipation. The results showed that the shear deformation of joints was extremely small and the plastic hinges were formed at reinforced concrete beams. Due to insufficient anchorage length of longitudinal bars, anchoring failure was found in the reinforced concrete beams. However, SOC-TCB showed better seismic behavior as long as sufficient anchorage of longitudinal bars was ensured.

As separated platform subway station structures are close to the bridge piles, its seismic performance need to be analyzed. An artificial earthquake record is used to analyze seismic performance of the subway station structure. The artificial earthquake record with the Kanai–Tajimi model and trigonometric series superprosition method is generated. It is shown that the influences of the stresses of arch springing and basement are significant under horizontal direction earthquake. Under horizontal direction earthquake, the horizontal stresses of arch springing and basement are 1.46 and 1.61 times than the original stresses and their vertical stresses are 1.34 and 1.59 times than the original stresses. It is shown that the influences of the horizontal stress of soleplate and the vertical stresses of arch springing and basement are significant under vertical direction earthquake. Under vertical direction earthquake, the horizontal stresse of soleplate is 3.30 times than the original stress, while vertical stresses of arch springing and basement are 2.78 and 2.72 times than the original stresses.

The steel-plate reinforced concrete shear wall with rectangular concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns is a new kind of composite shear wall. In order to ascertain its seismic behavior and failure mechanism, four 1/5 scale specimens with the same shear span ratio 1.5, different thickness of the steel-plate and different axial force ratio, were tested under horizontal cyclic loading. The thickness of steel-plate in the walls is 2mm, 4mm, 4mm and 6mm, respectively. Based on the experiment, the load-bearing capacity, hysteretic characteristics, ductility, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation capacity and failure mode of the specimens were contrastively analyzed. And the effect of the ratio of height to sectional thickness of steel-plate and the value changes of axial force ratio on seismic behavior of the new shear wall was also analyzed. The result shows that the steel-plate reinforced concrete shear wall with rectangular CFST columns has good seismic performance and important engineering value.

The present study is an attempt to understand the behavior of concrete filled steel tubular column under uniaxial load. A concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column is formed by filling a steel tube with concrete. It is well known that concrete- filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are currently being used in the construction of buildings, due to their excellent static and earthquake-resistant properties, such as high strength, high ductility, large energy absorption capacity, bending stiffness etc. The external strengthening of using basalt fiber reinforced concrete material is emerging as a new trend in enhancing the structural performance concrete filled steel tubular members to counteract the drawbacks of the past rehabilitation work. In this project we are going to study about strength of the steel and concrete by doing compression strength, flexural strength, push out and uniaxial compression test. The tests are carried out with the help of universal testing machine. The readings are recorded and graphs are plotted.
