Steel-concrete composite (SCC) columns have widely been applied in modern construction industry owing to the composite action between the concrete and the steel. The benefits of SCC columns can be further achieved if the confinement effect of concrete is applied. Therefore, this paper presents an innovative square steel-concrete composite (ISSCC) column made of four steel tubes at the corners and corrugated steel batten plates on all sides. Through the experimental and finite element (FE) numerical simulation calculations, the axial compression performance and seismic performance of the ISSCC column were discussed, and the FE model was verified through experimental results. The seismic performance of the ISSCC column was compared and analyzed with reinforced concrete column under different axial compression ratios. The research showed that FE models can accurately simulate the deformation, stress, and failure states of the ISSCC column under axial pressure and horizontal low cyclic load. Furthermore, the ISSCC column performed good ductility and energy dissipation capacity, and the seismic performance index was better than the reinforced concrete column and had better seismic performance. The results of this study can provide reference for the design and development of the new composite column.

In this article, an application of superelastic shape memory alloy strands for improving the seismic performance of unbonded prestressed reinforced concrete bridge column is proposed. In the reinforced concrete column with unbonded prestressing steel-shape memory alloy strands, superelastic shape memory alloy strands are put in series with unbonded steel strands, and the loading plateau of shape memory alloy is exploited to limit the increase in the axial load of column under an earthquake. Quasi-static analysis and seismic analysis were conducted to compare the seismic performance of conventional reinforced concrete column, reinforced concrete column with unbonded prestressing steel strands, and the proposed reinforced concrete column with unbonded prestressing steel-shape memory alloy strands. Result shows that reinforced concrete column with unbonded prestressing steel-shape memory alloy strands has larger ultimate displacement capacity than reinforced concrete column with unbonded prestressing steel strands in the quasi-static analysis. In the seismic analysis, reinforced concrete column with unbonded prestressing steel-shape memory alloy strands suffers from smaller earthquake residual displacement than reinforced concrete column and reinforced concrete column with unbonded prestressing steel strands. Furthermore, parametric analysis was carried out to investigate the effects of unbonded steel strand ratio, prestressing force ratio, bonded longitudinal reinforcement ratio, and maximum tensile force ratio (area of shape memory alloy strands) on the ultimate displacement and quasi-static residual displacement of reinforced concrete column with unbonded prestressing steel-shape memory alloy strands. Results show that increasing the prestressing force ratio and the maximum tensile force ratio within certain ranges can improve the self-centering capability of column. Increasing the area of bonded longitudinal reinforcement and unbonded steel strand ratio results in larger residual displacement.

Load Tests

The low-cycle repeated load tests were conducted for two composite frames, with reinforced concrete column and steel reinforced concrete column, respectively. The performance of the composite frames such as the failure modes, ductility, energy dissipation ability, deformation restored ability, and resistant capacity is analyzed. Experimental results show that good seismic performance can be obtained by appropriate constructional measure which can meet the seismic design requirements. Based on the analysis of test data, the reliability of the beam-to-column connections is validated, and the seismic performance of composite frames is found to be influenced mainly by vertical anti-lateral force component. Besides, the form of steel reinforced concrete column is recommended to improve the structural ductility.
