In this paper, the SiCp/Al composites were bonded via laser-induced exothermic reactions of a Ni–Al–Zr interlayer. The Ni–Al–Zr interlayer was designed based on its exothermic property and chemical compatibility with the SiCp/Al composites. The influences of the interlayer composition and bonding pressure on the joint microstructure and shear strength were investigated. Results indicated that high exothermic reactions occurred in the Ni–Al–Zr interlayer and realized the reliable bonding with the SiCp/Al composites. The interlayer products were the eutectic structure of NiAl+Ni2AlZr+Ni3Al5Zr2. NiAl3 and Ni2Al3 reaction layers were formed at the bonding interfaces. The interlayer composition and the bonding pressure determined the morphology and distribution of the voids and the reaction layers, thus controlling the joint shear strength. When the SiCp/Al composites were bonded using the interlayer with the Zr content of 15 wt.% under the bonding pressure of 3 MPa, the joint shear strength reached the maximum of 24 MPa.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop two empirical models that predict the shear strength of exterior beam-column joints exposed to monotonic and cyclic loading using Gene expression programming (GEP). Design/methodology/approach The GEP model developed for the monotonic loading case is trained and validated using 81 data test points and that for cyclic loading case is trained and validated using 159 data test points that collected from different 9 and 39 experimental programs, respectively. The parameters that are selected to develop the cyclic GEP model are concrete compressive strength, joint aspect ratio, column axial load and joint transverse reinforcement. The monotonic GEP model is developed using concrete compressive strength, column depth, joint width and column axial load. Findings GEP models are proposed in this paper to predict the joint shear strength of beam-column joints under cyclic and monotonic loading. The predicted results obtained using the GEP models are compared to those calculated using the ACI-352 code formulations. A sensitivity analysis is also performed to further validate the GEP models. Originality/value The proposed GEP models provide an accurate prediction for joint shear strength of beam-column joints under cyclic and monotonic loading that is more fitting to the experimental database than the ACI-352 predictions where the GEP models have higher R2 value than the code formulations.

AbstractAn assessment of the joint shear strength of exterior concrete beam-column joints reinforced internally with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcements under monotonically increasing load on beams keeping constant load on columns is carried out in this study. Totally eighteen numbers of specimens are cast and tested for different parametric conditions like beam longitudinal reinforcement ratio, concrete strength, column reinforcement ratio, joint aspect ratio and influence of the joint stirrups at the joint. Also finite element analysis is performed to simulate the behaviour of the beam-column joints under various parametric conditions. Based on this study, a modified design equation is proposed for assessing the joint shear strength of the GFRP reinforced beam-column specimens based on the experimental results and the review of the prevailing design equations.
