This article describes an experimental program developed to study the influence of longitudinal prestress on the behaviour of high-strength concrete hollow beams under pure torsion. The pre-cracking, the post-cracking and the ultimate behaviour are analysed. Three tests were carried out on large hollow high-strength concrete beams with similar concrete strength. The variable studied was the level of longitudinal uniform prestress. Some important conclusions on different aspects of the beams’ behaviour are presented. These conclusions, considered important for the design of box bridges, include the influence of the level of prestress in the cracking and ultimate behaviour.

Transversal Reinforcement

Some bridges have to withstand high levels of torsion forces. As a consequence, box type beams are often the obvious solution. It could be possible that the balance of transversal to longitudinal torsion reinforcement is not fully reached. If the transversal reinforcement is somehow underestimated, the box beam needs to be transversally strengthened. From the various solutions, external transversal reinforcement is certainly one possibility. The investigation presented here aimed to study such solution. The authors tested four hollow beams under pure torsion. The level of the non balanced ratio between internal longitudinal and transversal torsion reinforcement was one of the parameters that were considered in this investigation. Other parameter was the existence or the no existence of external transversal strengthening reinforcement. The experimental results of the tests have shown the effectiveness of the use of the external transversal strengthening steel reinforcement to compensate the lack of balance of internal transversal to longitudinal torsion reinforcement with respect to various behaviour aspects, such as: increasing of torque strength, increasing of ductility, increasing of cracking torsion moment, and better distribution of cracking. Santrauka Kai kurie tiltai turi atlaikyti dideles sukimo jėgas. Tam tikslui dažnai naudojamos dėžinio skerspjūvio sijos. Gali būti, kad tarp sukimui atlaikyti naudojamos skersinės ir išilginės armatūros ne visada pasiekiamas tinkamas balansas. Jei skersinė sija armuota nepakankamai, dėžinio skerspjūvio sijas gali tekti papildomai stiprinti. Vienas iš įvairių galimų stiprinimo variantų – armavimas išorine skersine armatūra. Šiame straipsnyje pateikiama tokio stiprinimo analizė. Autoriai išbandė keturias grynojo sukimo veikiamas dėžinio skerspjūvio sijas. Vienas iš tyrimo parametrų – skersinės ir išilginės sukimo armatūrų santykio nesubalansuotumo lygis. Kitas parametras – išorinės skersinės stiprinimo armatūros buvimas arba nebuvimas. Eksperimentinių tyrimų rezultatai parodė stiprinti naudojamos išorinės plieninės skersinės armatūros veiksmingumą, kompensuojant vidinės skersinės ir išilginės suktinės armatūrų tarpusavio nesubalansuotumą. Efektyvumas buvo įrodytas tokias aspektais: padidėjusi sukamoji galia ir elastingumas, padidėjęs plyšių atsiradimo sukimo momentas bei geresnis plyšių pasiskirstymas.

Circular pier are widely used in bridge substructure. Strength and ductility are two important indicators reflect its aseismic performance. Based on the analysis of complete bending moment-curvature curve curvature, bending strength and ductility on reinforced concrete circular pier cross-section, this paper analyzes the aseismic performance of high-strength concrete circular pier. And it can provide reference for using high strength concrete more reasonable.

Strength And Ductility

The strength and ductility of high strength concrete columns improve with the addition of steel fiber. This paper reports the behavior of circular High Strength Concrete (HSC) columns reinforced with Hybrid Steel Fibers (HSF) under different loading conditions. In this study, HSF consisted of a combination of macro steel fibers and micro steel fibers. A total of eight circular specimens of 205 mm diameter and 800 mm height were cast and tested. All specimens were reinforced with same amount of steel reinforcements. The specimens were divided into two groups of four specimens. Group RC (reference group) contained no steel fibers. Group HSF (hybrid steel fibers) contained 2.5% by volume of HSF. From each group one specimen was tested under concentric loading, one under 25 mm eccentric loading, one under 50 mm eccentric loading, and one under four-point loading. The results showed that the specimens reinforced with HSF achieved higher strength and ductility compared to RC specimens under different loading conditions. It was also observed that the presence of HSF delayed the spalling of the concrete cover.

By the axial compression tests on a total of 19 high strength concrete columns wrapped with CFRP cloth, the influence of shape section and different layers on the axial compressive strength and ductility is studied. The experimental results indicated: high strength concrete columns wrapped with CFRP in increasing the bearing capacity and ductility of concrete columns is still valid, its effect on the improvement of ductility is much greater than its capacity.
