Secondary Lining

The fault-crossing tunnel in meizoseismal area is directly subjected to strong ground motion, which leads to the failure of the tunnel lining. In order to improve the seismic safety of tunnel, fiber-reinforced concrete is applied to tunnel lining in this article. Taking the section of Zhongyi tunnel crossing Wanlong fault as an example, seismic performance of fiber-reinforced concrete tunnel lining was studied by finite difference numerical calculation software FLAC3D. The seismic displacement, stress response, and side wall convergence of secondary lining structures which are plain concrete, steel fiber-reinforced concrete, and steel-basalt hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete were comparatively analyzed. Moreover, the safety factor of each lining structure was investigated with the present numerical model. With the obtained data, seismic performance of steel-basalt hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete secondary lining is better than that of steel fiber-reinforced concrete secondary lining. The results may provide references for seismic design of fault-crossing tunnels in meizoseismal area.

The principal aim of this research is to improve the seismic performance of non-ductile reinforced columns using fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) by mixing steel fiber into the concrete. Two reinforced concrete columns 200mm x 300mm in cross-section with a height of 1250 mm were tested under cyclic lateral loading. The first specimen was casted using normal strength concrete of 24 MPa and the second specimens were also casted using similar concrete with similar strength but the steel fiber of 1% was added to the concrete in the plastic hinge region. The axial load for all specimens was 300 kN and kept constant during the test. The test results showed that the use of FRC in the plastic hinge region could significantly improve column displacement ductility. The maximum drift at lateral strength loss at 3.7% for non-ductile column could increase to 6% in FRC column. It is evident that the cracks in FRC column are much smaller and more widely spread in the plastic hinge region and hence the plastic hinge could be able to rotate without lateral strength being compromised. In FRC column, concrete spalling was observed in a very high drift (5%) and bar buckling occurred at around 6% drift whilst in non-ductile column concrete spalling and bar buckling occurred at 2.5% and 3% drift respectively. It was evident that the use of steel fiber in non-ductile columns could significantly improve seismic performance of the column.

This paper provides experimental results on the seismic performance of four concrete infill wall elements with test variables of vertical slits and hooked end steel fiber reinforcing. 1/3-scale infill wall elements with height-to-length ratio of 0.55 were manufactured and tested up to failure. Four walls (CIW-N and-S, SCIW-N and-S) are similar to each other except presence of steel fiber reinforcement and vertical slits with the width of 40 mm. All specimens had the same rectangular cross-section of 1,100 mm x 50 mm, with wall panel height of 600 mm. The experimental results showed that concrete infill wall element with vertical slits exhibited more stable hysteretic behavior than solid infill wall element. This phenomenon is remarkable for steel fiber reinforced concrete infill wall element. Inclusion of vertical slits on the normal concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete infill wall element improve the ductility and energy dissipation capacity but decrease the load-carrying capacity and stiffness of infill walls.
