Abstract

Concrete Filled Double Steel Tube (CFDST) columns are a modern technique of composite structural element that has fire resistance and has been adopted in high-rise building structures. The Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST) columns also have high strength and ductility due to composite action. This type of column CFST can sustain a heavy load with high performance and has been adopted in recent years in many countries around the world. The aim of the present work is to study the behavior and strength of rehabilitation of composite columns that are made from concrete core and surrounded steel tubes under the effect of axial compression loads with different height to diameter ratios such as 5.46, 10.91, and 16.37, respectively, by experimental tests. Double skin methodology is adopted to repair the damaged columns that were tested up to 85% of the ultimate load. Strength column capacity of double skin columns, axial and buckling deformations with axial and buckling strains are investigated. Test results showed that the repaired specimens up to 85% of the ultimate load had the same strength carrying capacity as compared with the control specimens, which had the same geometry. The ductility of an 800 mm specimen’s height is greater than the other tested specimens, while the stiffness of short specimens becomes high. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-03-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This research aims to enhance Slurry Infiltrated Fibrous Concrete (SIFCON) by incorporating both long and short fibers, with the goal of increasing ductility and mechanical properties behavior. The study also evaluates the effectiveness of SIFCON in strengthening two-way reinforced concrete slabs with large openings. Various SIFCON mixes were created, integrating hooked-end fibers, micro steel fibers, and different volume ratios (Vf) of hybrid steel fibers (one-third, one-half, and two-thirds). A reference mix with 2% hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (SFC) was formulated for comparison. Hybrid SIFCON samples demonstrated superior mechanical properties compared to those reinforced with hooked fibers, showing higher compressive strength, cylinder compressive strength, flexural strength, and direct tensile strength by 14%, 13.9%, 38.2%, and 58.2%, respectively, at 28 days, but a lower splitting tensile strength by 24%. Compared to micro steel fiber-reinforced samples, hybrid SIFCON exhibited higher compressive strength, cylinder compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength by 18.2%, 51%, 167.5%, and 43.6%, respectively, but a lower direct tensile strength by 7.4%. The study involved nine two-way square slabs with various mixtures of normal concrete, mortar-infiltrated fiber concrete, and full SIFCON. Control samples were constructed using normal-strength concrete. The application of SIFCON increased punching shear strength by 3.21% to 154.25% compared to the control samples. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-11-07 Full Text: PDF
